Suggestions and discussions

Be vague, be harsh, be detailed!
It's all welcome.

Other than lack of images, I love it!

But I'm not sure if that's really needed

The images i mean

[bright narwhal]

Vera Noice.
I see a spot for links. What's planned so far?
Like, the wiki, Tradein.Space, UEXCorp, CFinder, SC Trade Tools, & tanx0r.org, etc?

[quasi mica]

Anything we can think of to add that would be useful. I can absolutely add each of those with a description of what they are/do.

[quasi mica]

To add:
Rename to General Q&A, not FAQ
Is the game free, if not, how much does it cost?
Is there a subscription? Needed to play? What does it include?
Purchasing from outside RSI website / gray market
How many people are active/playing?
What game engine (StarEngine, Lumberyard/CryEngine spinoff)
Why not switch to UE5?
Buying UEC in pledge store

It might be good to add information about the game engine (Star-Engine), the source engine's (CryEngine/Lumberyard) capabilities and limitations (brief) and how CIG has modified it for use to incorporate homebrew technologies and enhancements for the enablement of creating such a massive game which operates real-time and is intended to work over many systems while merging hundreds to thousands of players in one "shard". That way people are familiar with how much effort has gone into making this game viable through the concerted efforts of this team. Also discuss how difficult it would probably be to ever change from one engine to another after 10 years of development

Detailed video and text start guides for every starting location and more common starter ships. A few members of the Rats Den have offered to help do this. (Shy is the only one I can remember currently)

Shy has scripts written out for most of it so far.

[marsh tusk]

What does the subscription include?
Should I buy UEC in the pledge store?

Landing and external landing zones for stations

[marsh tusk]

Having a listing of the important files and folders for use is probably a good idea, like the user folder, etc

[quasi mica]

Video gameplay guides, landing zones and files I think we can add to the #📚┃help-faq or #learn-to-play👶old

[marsh tusk]

Cool. 🙂

Do we want to advertise the presence of the venting thread? Or do we think that should be word of mouth only?

Not sure if it should be here or not, but maybe also a blurb on the PTU, what it is, and why players should participate in it if they can, regardless of whether they contribute to issue council

Might be good to do the same for issue council

[marsh tusk]

Also, with the requirement of VPN being more and more common, would we want to put a list up, here or on the help-faq detailing those?

[marsh tusk]

The vets just proposed a good point. There should be a readout of all of the yearly star citizen events

[boreal owl]

We unfortunately don’t get dates for those ahead of time.

[marsh tusk]

I wasn’t meaning dates, but like what are they, what do they specialize in, the fact that certain ships can only be bought during those events, etc

[marsh tusk]

It might be good to put the CPU priority "adjustment" in an article

• Add area in FAQ regarding limited time ships.

Gunna work on today

[quasi mica]

We do have #📚┃help-faq message and a command for events I believe. Do you think it needs expanding?

[quasi mica]

I'm hesitant to add that for two reasons:

1. The limited benefits it brings, small performance gains, nothing massive
2. People setting it to 4 (RealTime) and having their PCs or laptops catch on fire

Although we could just add in a disclaimer to never put it to 4, I'm not sold on the idea. Feel free to convince me.

[marsh tusk]

Maybe better to put the explanations into the wiki of things like which ships are on sale during the events than in the faq text, which isn’t really on you. The st Patrick’s day event isn’t listed though.

[quasi mica]

Good idea, alright I'll expand it and add the missing event, thank you!

[marsh tusk]

The numbers aren’t sequential so if we do we may want to add the key to the numbers, but it is the one reason my laptop runs without stuttering most of the time.
The problem is that machines like to prioritize things like Cortana and outside desktop interaction above star citizen which leads to stuttering, as Cortana and desktop mouse interactions behind the star citizen frame, as well as disk scanning, antivirus interaction (even of defender), windows explorer, and other unseen but uninteracted elements fight for control. Even recommending 6 (above normal) has provided benefit to some players who are stuck at 1fps because of deadlock issues
