Star Citizen Megathread - Star Marine isn't doomed after all! - Games

[QUOTE=Ott;51315009]What was the demo they were planning to show at CitizenCon but couldn't meet the deadline?[/QUOTE] They were going to show a full, entirely finished mission (that was around an hour long) from the singleplayer campaign, Squadron 42. They were working on it for months but couldn't get it finished in time.

[IMG]https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/lhssj80vlw87vr/source/November-Flair.jpg[/IMG] This month's subscriber flair is space shrooms. Looks like it's using a hair shader. [video=youtube;Ad_9IXL00PQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad_9IXL00PQ[/video] Also, the Esperia Prowler concept sale will be during the anniversary sale on the 18th and its price has been officially confirmed to be $425 USD with LTI. Reminder that CIG prices the alien ships higher than their combat worth to keep them rare on day 1.

considering the merchantman is $250 that better be some 'boarding craft'

[QUOTE=krail9;51362684]considering the merchantman is $250 that better be some 'boarding craft'[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure if they sell the Banu MM again it'll see a sharp price hike the way the Starfarer did. Some of their very early ship prices were way below value given the level of detail of ships now. Reminder that the Glaive was $350 and it's just an augmented Scythe, and the Blade was $250. A Super Hornet can trash both. Alien ships are more expensive as an artificial rarity factor. I suspect it's probably between a Freelancer and a Vanguard in size, since it's a replica of a Tevarin boarding craft.

I just can't wait for Squadron 42. I had so much fun back in the 90s with Wing Commander and Strike Commander, and the fanmade game Wing Commander Saga, which was released few years ago (it is really good and free, used a modified Freespace 2 engine and lots of cutscenes). It seems to have been an eternity that a game was released that let us be a space topgun with a intriguing storyline/campaign.

one of the designers from no mans sky (Gareth Bourn) jumps ship to Star citizen dev team [url]http://www.idigitaltimes.com/no-mans-sky-designer-quietly-leaves-hello-games-work-star-citizen-568549[/url]

[QUOTE]Beyond No Man’s Sky’s lack of promised features, lawsuits and refund demands, the ironic truth is that the ongoing story of Star Citizen isn’t all that different. What began as a Kickstarter in 2012 has since raised over $100 million dollars spread over four studios with no release date in sight. [B]The project has undergone a few closed alphas and betas for backers, but some donors still aren’t impressed. Questions remain over how the funds are being managed, refunds have been demanded and full game modes have yet to enter testing phases.[/B] It’s not a pretty picture. As if those parallels weren’t enough, Star Citizen also promises many of the hallmark features that No Man’s Sky failed to deliver. There’s evidence of full-scale intergalactic trade, multiplayer and a truly robust single-player campaign with Hollywood talent. All of that stuff sounds great, but studio turmoils, engine difficulties and unwavering ambition have bogged down the title’s schedule.[/QUOTE] :ok:

Have they given any indication of what they might show with the anniversary stream?

[QUOTE=nightlord;51385215]Have they given any indication of what they might show with the anniversary stream?[/QUOTE] They've been saying there is going to be lots of content related to ships. Hopefully they show the sq42 gameplay since they were so close for citcon

The streams for the 2.6 LAN party ahead of the anniversary livestream have begun. [video=youtube;kWAWGDv7JAk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWAWGDv7JAk[/video] [URL="https://www.twitch.tv/starcitizen"]Also on Twitch at twitch.tv/starcitizen[/URL] The 2.6 LAN stuff is supposed to start at the top of the hour (9am PST/5pm GMT), and the real show begins at 1pm PST/9pm GMT. [editline]18th November 2016[/editline] Five minutes early, we have music but this on-screen: [t]http://i.imgur.com/FPydIvk.png[/t] Never fails. [editline]18th November 2016[/editline] Right as I post that, the music cuts out and this goes back up, now with extra text at the bottom: [t]http://i.imgur.com/pen7e2H.png[/t] [editline]18th November 2016[/editline] And they're live now at the LAN party site. Star Marine banner on the back wall. "Yes, we will be playing Star Marine today." And also Arena Commander/etc. They won't be showing off every new addition in 2.6, leaving a few things for the patch. Twerk17 and DeejayKnight, community streamers from Gamescom, are on-site. [editline]18th November 2016[/editline] 2.6 includes new variants of the Sabre, Hornet, and Gladius, and another ship with different loadouts and custom paint jobs. The variants are all specific to dogfighting. They didn't show the fourth in their first dogfight, but they'll come back to it. The Sabre Comet has greyscale camo and the new shotguns.

They're in custom blue and red skins for the opposing teams just for the event and won't look like this in live. [url]https://clips.twitch.tv/starcitizen/CalmBearPazPazowitz[/url] The Herald's a drag racer more than a mosquito like the m50, so there was plenty of crashing. [editline]18th November 2016[/editline] The other new variant is the Avenger Renegade, with an Advocacy (space FBI) paint job. [url]https://clips.twitch.tv/starcitizen/QuaintChickenDOOMGuy[/url] [editline]18th November 2016[/editline] And now everyone takes a break and begins prep for the full stream at 1pm PST/9pm GMT. Star Marine will be played then, wasn't played during this warmup.

The Herald race summed up in two sequential clips: [URL="https://clips.twitch.tv/starcitizen/HealthyPorcupineVaultBoy"]Part 1[/URL] [URL="https://clips.twitch.tv/starcitizen/CuriousSquidSeemsGood"]Part 2[/URL]

what the heck is the valiant supposed to be, that's an ugly color combo but the paint job clearly has a purpose with that giant ODP emblem. Can't read the subtext on the text-logo, do we know what ODP is? [img]http://i.imgur.com/N2UTAtV.png[/img] [t]http://i.imgur.com/8lZtEjt.png[/t] best guess by word size is 'over drive performance', could it actually be a racer? [editline]e[/editline] drive is too short and also I gotcha on the lore bit [editline]e[/editline] loving that third person view of the heralds, most spaceshippy look I've seen ingame [t]http://i.imgur.com/w9tgKmQ.png[/t]

i like how the Youtube stream is lagging INSIDE the stream

Starting with capships, with "Big Guns of the UEE" with Nathan Dearsley of the UK. Idris is apparently done except for the missile room. Bengal looks great and the railgun turret on its underside is HUGE. (I'm guessing it's the Idris-M, not the -P) Now they're doing a little segment about the four new variants and more talking about the skin system. It's to eventually be a hexcode-based system so you can determine your own colour scheme with the skins. And now the Cat

CIG now has a weekly schedule thing everyone can view [url]https://robertsspaceindustries.com/schedule-report[/url] [editline]18th November 2016[/editline] add to OP maybe?

I got timed out of the twitch stream for comparing the new alien species to space Armenians because they are jaded after being stomped on in a war, and only now rediscovering their roots.

[QUOTE=FlandersNed;51392776]I got timed out of the twitch stream for comparing the new alien species to space Armenians because they are jaded after being stomped on in a war, and only now rediscovering their roots.[/QUOTE] Real-world politics don't belong in CIG's event streams, especially when they have so many trolls. BTW, mentioning idiot's name or any reference to him is an instant timeout or ban. They don't mess about. CIG is now running a team DM match in Arena Commander, then they'll run Heralds in a Murray Cup race, and then three rounds of Star Marine.
