Hi guys!

Everything you DON'T know about Star Citizen and Squadron 42's development and the massive artificial dealays for literally NO reason at all! And it's all been there hidden in their content (CIG's) for years now!

Only i've gone and found the TRUTH finally! Yes SQ42 should have come out 2 years ago ALREADY!

Kind regards,

CTT

Now it all makes sense

sleek pelican
#

hows pvp in the Perseus? am tempted to get a crew to try player bounties lol

lone bloom
#

not even capitals

#

But as usual, fighters are your kryptonite

midnight crypt
#

Before patch, there is a chance on where the shot hit to survive. I shot fighters with the railgun but it clipped the wing
After patch, one shots everything no matter where it gets shot at

heady escarp
midnight crypt
#

In 4.4 I started practicing shooting as soon as it charged so I could get used to it for 4.5

#

But I hate how I can’t instantly shoot it anymore. It was nice to quickly shoot a fighter and really nice when someone that has no clue on how to use the railgun just instant shot you while I do full damage

lone bloom
heady escarp
lone bloom
#

well then ... bad ship for a bad situation xD

heady escarp
#

xD

lone bloom
#

Ramming speed kekl

heady escarp
#

tbh yeah

#

I LOVE RAMMING

heady escarp
lone bloom
#

offers about what

#

ramming speeds? xd

humble anvil
#

so i have the monitor

#

literally nothing wrong with it

#

star citizen looks GOOOD

midnight crypt
# heady escarp I LOVE RAMMING

Idris will win in every situation. 3 months ago I rammed a full crew polaris in my idris and hard killed it. Then they got pissed off and came at me in a fully crewed idris that only had the S12 torps

humble anvil
#

dont mind me just color comparision

#

hard to tell, like sure the darks are darker whites are indeed white. maybe im used to over saturation? lol

reef wind
azure fulcrum
#

no banding or ghosting?

tawny fern
#

From the factory mine was super super bright

#

Regarding colors, everything is a lot more vibrant on my oled than my old monitors

azure fulcrum
tawny fern
#

Which im pretty sure is how its supposed to be

azure fulcrum
tawny fern
#

Oh yeah that too

azure fulcrum
#

AI 🤮

#
humble anvil
#

OK

#

NOW IM SEEING

tawny fern
#

so is oled worth

azure fulcrum
humble anvil
#

wew

azure fulcrum
#

thats nice

humble anvil
azure fulcrum
#

what GPU do u have>??

humble anvil
azure fulcrum
#

its a 2k monitor?

humble anvil
#

yeah

azure fulcrum
#

nice than your GPU will prob be sufficient

humble anvil
#

npc i think you said something about the stand being plastic

#

this shit metal

#

wait no

azure fulcrum
#

yeah except for the back part that rotatos?

humble anvil
#

no its plastic

azure fulcrum
#

oh lol wut

#

well its a wide base so its stable enough probably

humble anvil
#

when i took it out the box it was cold as fuck so thats where i got the metal feeling from

azure fulcrum
#

I just don't like shiny plastics it looks disgusting

#

wat there's even full HD oled

#

I guess 3440x1440 isn't as gpu taxing as full 4k

#

all the display ratios compared

#

actually 21:9 is pretty nice I like that you have more vertical realestate

#

2k res is the sweetspot for sure

#

32:9 also has its pixels more stretched out ultrawide is more pixel dense

#

21:9 QHD is a nice compromise

#

not a lot of choices and more expensive than 32:9...

#

ugh so many have matte coating on OLED

#

thats a no go

humble anvil
#

i tink msi is Glossy but

azure fulcrum
#

often they don't even specify what coating

humble anvil
#

271QP

azure fulcrum
#

its just a non-glare coating

humble anvil
#

im happy with it

#

feels weird as fuck tho

azure fulcrum
#

Ha I bet

humble anvil
#

it just doesnt feel right lol

heady escarp
#

DogChamp I dont see difference, my eyes arent comparable to mosquittos afterall

humble anvil
#

there's a difference

#

like my VA Panel is so dull and gray

azure fulcrum
#

rlly wondering whether I should upgrade to OLED now lol

#

or QD-OLED

#

rather

#

monitor gone down in price so much its only 800,- for a odyssey G9 49" QDOLED >.<

humble anvil
#

the new gens are coming out soon tm

azure fulcrum
#

it's rlly tempting but I'm gonna sit this one out

azure fulcrum
humble anvil
azure fulcrum
#

way smoother frames

humble anvil
#

but its star citizen

#

maybe i try a mission tomorrow

#

go do a bunker

azure fulcrum
#

5090 has gotten more expensive used to be 2000,-

azure fulcrum
#

I want but I'd need to upgrade my graphics card too 😭

#

this sucks

heady escarp
#

kekw soon customers wont be able to afford new pcs

azure fulcrum
#

in a few years time you'll only be able to rent a PC

heady escarp
#

we already have pcs with 3 years insurance

azure fulcrum

azure fulcrum
#

I just can not wrap my head around the fact Nvidia trying to ram Geforce Now subscription based GPUs down our throats that quickly

#

but Gamer Nexus makes a compelling case they are going to forcibly molest us and there is nothing we can do about it.

#

I had hoped they at least be gentle and use lube

#

but they're just going in dry, its a scary dystopian reality that's already unfolding before our eyes

shadow oasis
#

We went Hathor last night with a 5 man crewed Perseus.

Aligned the towers, fired the lazor, went patrolling and guarded the hole.

With a few tourist flying around but nothing larger than a sabre or hornet.

Out of nothing, PP said critical and Percy instant hard death.

Percy was fully repaired, not a single item or hull damage.

No Idris in sight, no radar alert, nothing. No clue what ended our mission for the night.

Wish there was some log to find the cause of boom

humble anvil
#

Cheaters never left

#

With update wouldn't be surprised if they're forcing powerplant to go critical and instantly explodes you

shadow oasis
humble anvil
#

Let me ask you did the critical timer appear and then you shortly exploded after

#

Or did you let the critical timer countdown

#

Reiteration: how fast did you die after power plants went "critical"?

shadow oasis
#

@humble anvil I was landed next to the Hathor mine we opened.
Buddies were mining whilest i was in the chin turret watching 2 dudes hiding behind the front landing gear.

I was in third person looking their movement to warn my crew in the cave.

Then the Percy just exploded.
It snapped my camera back to first person where i could very brief see the red text 'powerplant critical'.

Not a single ship fired on me... That's why i think one of those 2 dudes did something fishy underneath the ship. They did not enter in any way tho.

Half an hour before we we're in a heavy fight versus a Corsair, Guardian and Hornet. We managed to kill and get out to station for a full repair. Hull, armor and Comps were at 100% when we went back tot continue.

#

And i was swapping between first and third person very often, didn't see a message at any given time

humble anvil
#

They did something, sorry to hear regardless. They didn't have access to the ship. Sounds like a absolute bullshit

#

Cheaters, glitchers, buggy game, whatever

azure fulcrum
#

I want to order a custom matrova pad does anyone have ideas for graphics to use? a picture from star citizen or something? perseus?

sleek pelican
#

Where do I go to see the concierge items on the website store?

Trying to nab that cool looking Perseus skin that's only available to concierge members but I don't see it or anything else beside the usual

humble anvil
humble anvil
#

What you can go and find when you go to your account page and click your concierge rank

#

It will take you

lone bloom
#

"Cool looking perseus paint" aka looking like a 725a druglord Version kekl

azure fulcrum
sleek pelican
#

anyone know some good S3 to put on the pers for better anti fighter flak?

lone bloom
#

well I have shredders on them

#

so does rustle

#

but you don't need anti fighter flak if you have the Ballistic PDcs

sleek pelican
#

anything else worth grabbing an upgrade for?

and oooh i didnt know there was ballistic PDCs

#

know what theya re called?

lone bloom
#

Torrents

#

You can only get them by duping from the MDC

sleek pelican
#

damn i knew i should have grabbed one instead of a atlas geo

lone bloom
#

Theyre significantly better than laser

#

but have 15K ammo cap

sleek pelican
#

but i aint dupin nothing so it doesnt matter

#

i was gonna say it jsut mean more reason to re arm more often too

lone bloom
#

lets say NPC fighters die within 10 seconds if they stay in range of them

sleek pelican
#

go on...

#

lol but yeah that sucks but maybe they add something alike ingame in the future

lone bloom
sleek pelican
#

for now i'll jsut settle with playing around with some S3's

lone bloom
#

thats how I did it

sleek pelican
#

oooh very true

lone bloom
#

5 months from now

#

Its always vehicle exclusive for half a year

sleek pelican
#

i mean its something lol

lone bloom
#

until it comes into the shop

sleek pelican
#

ahh yeah, im suprised it wasnt a ad on thing as well

#

guess it'd be too OP for em whales

lone bloom
#

lasers and missile pdcs are now purchaseable at Levski, probably the ballistic ones will follow at some point

lone bloom
sleek pelican
#

hol up, like anti missile PDCs orrr PDCs that shoot missiles..?

lone bloom
#

second one

#

anti missile pdcs are laser and ballistic /and anti fighter

#

the Missile PDc is only anti fighter and shoots I think 16 S1 rockets per pdc

sleek pelican
#

i wonder, the ammo cap worth it?

lone bloom
#

I don't think so lol

#

The ballistic pdcs had at the start only 5K Ammo - that was trash

#

now they have 15K and thats a fair ammount for larger ships - but 16 missiles is "eh"

sleek pelican
#

wish it stated what PDCs im swapping. just wana change the 2 mid sections n try em out.

#

can swapping be done manually with the tractor beam if i pull it out of the cargo ele?

#

or does it HAVE to be done via ship tab in the mobiglass?

humble anvil
#

15k ammo is PLENTY

#

That's a lot of Ammo

#

My boy

#

Ballistic PDCs are crazy rn @sleek pelican

#

Get em

sleek pelican
#

im just trying to see what i can do with what i ave on hand to learn how to play with components more

#

erkul is helping but damn it's a lil overwhelming with how much info is being displayed at once lol

lone bloom
#

well thats my current loadout

humble anvil
#

Civ A shields are so good

#

SO GOOD

#

1 less pip

#

Fast Regen on damage

sleek pelican
#

bought or looted?

humble anvil
#

Bought

#

Cousin crows

#

Blizzards, js5 and TS2 is not

#

Ts2 can sub for ereobos

sleek pelican
#

headin there now after i thorw on myshredders n single blizzard lol

humble anvil
#

Very good QD

azure fulcrum
#

Nephew hawk to get space civilian shield?

#

TCA

humble anvil
#

@lone bloom When we start repairing with rmc. Ai Polaris on farm

sleek pelican
#

can guns be swapped manually or do i gotta use the vehicles tab?

humble anvil
#

Jinx going to be eating good

lone bloom
#

Can do both

lone bloom
#

2 min to kill one polaris

#

and + few min for the escort

humble anvil
#

You were able to sub target despite scan right

humble anvil
#

People not giving it enough credit

#

Incredibly strong

#

But the Idris exists so commonly so.... Kinda pointless to have a Perseus

lone bloom
#

someone else told me yesterday they needed 10 min to take down a polaris

#

Just told them then you clearly did it wrong

humble anvil
#

Can take an Idris out too but significantly harder to do

#

More time consuming

#

Not harder* just... Longer

#

For s8 cannon though. Penetration kinda feels like ass

#

Imagine laser beam on top, and distortion beam on bottom

lone bloom
#

or just higher the pen lol

humble anvil
#

Can't wait for the gates

#

When s4 do heavily reduced damage and S5 are the go to for cleaning armor off a Perseus

#

THEN!!!!

#

Then it will all come together

lone bloom
humble anvil
#

What

lone bloom
#

you can't do anything with S1 weapons

#

or its because of the low pen amount

humble anvil
#

Basically but it can still pen n do stuff

#

Minor but

#

The s1s do stuff against fighters :3

#

One day our remote Turrets will be bladed

#

PDCs just going to be more powerful against missles when it doesn't have to track light fighters

lone bloom
humble anvil
#

Oh yeah lol

#

Peanuts

#

But still does something lol. Need a gate for system to say NO

#

and nullify damage completely

#

One day

#

👴

midnight crypt
humble anvil
#

Why Chris

#

You make us suffer against light fighters

midnight crypt
#

We don’t even know if Chris will see the game complete in his life time

humble anvil
#

But they give light fighters S3 s4

midnight crypt
#

Yeah, light fighters 3-4, medium fighters 5-6 and heavy fighters 7-8. Just waiting for that heavy fighter next year with dual S8

lone bloom
#

if he sells to microsoft

fallow wharf
#

never fly through a hull c

#

you will have contracted shit in all rooms

lone bloom
#

your perseus has a little bit of paint on your scars

fallow wharf
humble anvil
#

I love it

#

How damaged she is

#

The wear n tear is nice

lone bloom
#

Depends on the paint

#

looks dogshit on the drug lord paint

#

but that skin either way looks bad xD

humble anvil
#

Resilient paint ftw

humble anvil
#

3 Perseus

humble anvil
#

@tawny fern seems like its a little- over saturated?

#

like everything is glowing

#

oh its a star citizen issue

#

🆗

lone bloom
tawny fern
tawny fern
#

i didnt realize steam was supposed to look so blue

#

it was like totally grey before

humble anvil
#

im having a mid life crsis

#

because idk

#

like

#

so used to VA it hurts

#

the whites look washed out

#

idk what to think

#

I TOOK THE RTINGS PROFILE

#

IS IT ACCURATE. IDK

tawny fern
#

huh

#

the hdr one?

#

or the color one

#

🤨

humble anvil
#

so i reset all the settings first off on the monitor

#

i went to SDR

#

i went user : user in monitor profile and used the rtings icc profile for SDR

#

swapped to HDR, went user and EOTF Boost

#

HDR Calibrated

#

maybe because VA panel is over saturated lol... without a color accuracy software i'll never know

tawny fern
#

idk

#

works on my machine

humble anvil
#

steam

tawny fern
#

lol

#

its been grey like

#

my entire life

humble anvil
#

on VA Panel is a bit gray

tawny fern
#

I see a lot of people mentioning that the colour seems to be too saturated. Which might be the truth, I'm currently away from monitor right now but I will try to use the advice you have given me here when I return. The only settings I changed was picture mode from standard to gaming.( Standard seemed to have a yellow tint on it) And I lowered the brightness a bit. Perhaps colour was automatically maxed because of my change to picture mode? The monitor in question is a Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 G61SD. Thank you all for the advice.

UPDATE: I followed some people's advice of visiting Rtings(They had one for G60SD), I didn't know such a site even existed!. I copied their settings with some small changes to sharpness and brightness because it was hurting my eyes. I can safely say that steam is back to its original colour!. Thank you all I might have never realized how bad the Gaming preset settigs were if not for you.

#

🤷‍♂️

#

i mean yeah its not like DEEP BLUE

humble anvil
#

on my VA is basically Black

tawny fern
#

it looks greyish blue, but significantly bluer than on my old ips

#

lol

humble anvil
#

on the Oled is like... grey blue

tawny fern
#

yea

#

like after getting used to it for a week or so, i cant really tell

cold spruce
lone bloom
#

Dunno ask Rustle how he did it, from him I have the turrets

#

after patch

#

But they fixxed some dupes yesterday I think(?) hopefully that was not one of them

cold spruce
#

Damn

humble anvil
#

bottom left of driver seat

cold spruce
#

Ahh okay

#

Bottom left of driver seat?

#

Oh yeah

lone bloom
#

driver

cold spruce
#

@humble anvil keeps saying it's too heavy even with the big handheld tractor beam

humble anvil
#

are you snapping the pdc

#

or the entire truck

#

lol

cold spruce
#

Got it

humble anvil
lone bloom
#

and do that 6 times lol

humble anvil
#

final step; pray

#

on Tinder im about to like every girl that pops up

#

and then unlike the girls i match with

cold spruce
#

Damn, it's not allowing me to repair the mdc

humble anvil
#

if you have over 1.34bil it bugs about 70% of the time

cold spruce
#

Wish I had over a mil JoyStroke

lone bloom
cold spruce
azure fulcrum
tawny fern
#

wow

#

tn vs oled

azure fulcrum
#

lol the bloom in this game is horrible yeah haha

#

the lighting 🤮

#

I'm just looking for ideas for an image to use on my custom mousepad

lone bloom
azure fulcrum
#

god knows we need it

azure fulcrum
lone bloom
midnight crypt
lone bloom
azure fulcrum
midnight crypt
#

Hmm

azure fulcrum
#

I love firm speed pad i have artisan raiden its supposed to be similar to that

azure fulcrum
midnight crypt
#

I have no clue about the type of mousepad. I been using cheap mousepads and currently I’m using one of those massive play pads for pokemon XD

azure fulcrum
#

lol

#

ive done a lot of research and wasted crazy money

midnight crypt
#

I’m guessing the speed is how much the mouse grips/slides across?

azure fulcrum
#

yeah smoothness

#

smooth texture and firmness translates to speed

azure fulcrum
midnight crypt
#

Wish I could grab the Perseus model from in-game so I can create that picture of the Perseus splitting the HH in half but it’s the kraken splitting the Perseus in half

azure fulcrum
#

I need something edgy but refined

midnight crypt
azure fulcrum
#

this one kinda edgy but not 21:9

midnight crypt
azure fulcrum
#

that would make a good mousepad graphic no doubt

#

this one high res

#

ohhh but its wider

midnight crypt
#

You could always pay like an artist to make something

azure fulcrum
#

oh sick got a higher res one

#

that works

#

it's still only a PPI of 77

#

145-170ppi

midnight crypt
#

Oof

azure fulcrum
#

but damn that would make a perfect perseus mousepad

#

we're getting there

midnight crypt
#

You could try using AI to enhance the image to see if it brings up the ppi

azure fulcrum
#

yeah I could try...

#

my monitor is only full HD so its impossible to make a higher PPI screenshots lmao for me at least

midnight crypt
#

Oof

azure fulcrum
#

being space civilian is rough

#

hnnnnnnnnng think, there has to be another way

midnight crypt
azure fulcrum
#

I guess so

midnight crypt
#

Just bump it up to 16K resolution and try to get a screenshot with -14 fps

azure fulcrum
#

AI upscaled x2

#

lets crank it to 11

azure fulcrum
#

AI ain't so bad afterall

#

it's in acceptable PPI range but can we go higher lol?

midnight crypt
azure fulcrum
#

not really seing a difference with x4 upscale

#

well slightly smoother I guess

midnight crypt
#

I’m glad I bought my pc when I did. I bought it when everything was mostly at its cheapest and every month something drastically increases in price. I don’t know what ram I got but it’s 2x48gb ddr5

#

I should of bought 2 more for 192gb

azure fulcrum
azure fulcrum
#

this AI went full reeturd

midnight crypt
#

It is AI, it only creates something good only 5% of the time

azure fulcrum
#

I think x2 upscaling looks the best sadly

midnight crypt
#

Asked for a gif and got a pic instead

#

Can’t even tell the difference between AI and the actual Perseus

azure fulcrum
#

heh overkill

#

kinda scuffed how it looks not zoomed in you won't really notice it

midnight crypt
#

Mostly the same as the Perseus but has what kinda looks like F7s on guessing the flight deck

azure fulcrum
#

it'll look a lot sharper AI upscaled when printed

#

this is as high as Nvidia DSR upscaling goes I guess

#

its gonna be a slideshow my GPU wont be able to handle it lol

#

you'll get about 2 fps ingame

midnight crypt
#

XD

azure fulcrum
#

this looks like anime style when you upscale it to 4x

#

hmmm discord compression distorts it a little but you get the gist

#

its not that bad it works fine for my purpose

azure fulcrum
#

There's 25.4 mm in an inch photos are often 300 DPI
1200mm/25.4mm300
500mm/25.4mm
300
14173x5905 resolution is what I need lol

#

so 3840x1600 upscaled to x4

midnight crypt
#

Told you that you needed to trick your pc to 16k resolution

#

Then you upscale it x4

azure fulcrum
#

there's simply no other way for a ingame screen to get to 300 dpi yes

midnight crypt
#

You could probably get that to 400 😄

heady escarp
midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

they kinda retract

#

but not all the way in

#

like half

#

hahhhhh but now I want a giant FIN underneath it

heady escarp
#

I bet I could split in half a hammerhead too

midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

yeah I think it will be same as 890

#

and polaris

#

but

#

yeah it needs bigger hangar

midnight crypt
#

XL will be the largest and they aren’t gonna make it any bigger. My kraken is going to be scraping the front and back every time I try to land

midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

kraken and the privateer?

midnight crypt
#

Base and privateer

#

Yeah

heady escarp
#

ooof your lucky and here I am still trying to get my alien fleet

midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

yeah maybe I should do too....

#

I wanted OCs but kinda late, 12 years late

midnight crypt
midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

toyota supra DogChamp

midnight crypt
#

Yes

#

It wasn’t taken so

heady escarp
#

tbh

#

whenever I look at liberator, I cant fathom the size, always thinking its smaller

#

but its actually big

midnight crypt
#

1 meter shy of ironclad

heady escarp
#

yeah

#

and I heard

#

that ironclad

#

can split into 2

#

ships

midnight crypt
#

The main body and the command module. Caterpillar will do the same

heady escarp
#

catterpillar too?

midnight crypt
#

Yeah they both have the same command module

heady escarp
#

but eeeh main body of catterpillar will be cute and smol

midnight crypt
#

And crucible also can separate from the main body

heady escarp
midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

tho I have to admit, ships splitting is actually good

#

especially big cargo ships

#

sometimes you wish to play them without the cargo part, as daily drivers

midnight crypt
# midnight crypt

Btw I also have Orion, crucible, starfarer, genesis starliner, and reclaimer in buy backs

midnight crypt
heady escarp
midnight crypt
#

Also the CM is suppose to have a tractor beam making it real easy to move cargo. Would never have to get out of your ship until you need to call the cargo elevator up or down

midnight crypt
#

And you’ll see them racing them around

heady escarp
#

you mean bugged npcs in your space ship and some who die and block your chairs?

#

😂

midnight crypt
#

An hour ago I read up on ai blades and npcs. Eventually you are gonna have to feed the NPCs, let them sleep, shower, shit. And worst of all… pay them. And their mood and performance can change on how you treat them. And also have a mutiny XD

heady escarp
#

now thats interesting

#

as for shower shit etc, I bet those shiv players gonna have fun

midnight crypt
#

NPCs will be able to fly the ship, man the turrets, janitors, cooks, and even fly in escort ships which will make the kraken extremely powerful

azure fulcrum
heady escarp
midnight crypt
midnight crypt
#

Yeah

azure fulcrum
#

lol

midnight crypt
#

I think it also gets a jump drive as well

heady escarp
#

I love ships with BIG ENGINES

midnight crypt
#

And with the IC assault, you can easily repair the CM and the components

azure fulcrum
#

its still pretty useless s1 wepaon s1 shield

midnight crypt
#

Hopefully the main hull gives protection to the CM otherwise there would be no point to have the IC have armor

#

Since you can’t event fly it without the CM. It has 2 bridges but only one is for observation

heady escarp
#

DogChamp so..... when tentacule ship???

midnight crypt
#

I don’t want to wait for ILW 2027 for kraken

heady escarp
#

alien week is in may right?
so when is drake day?

midnight crypt
#

Alien I think is June ILW is may

heady escarp
#

pogchamp scrap that im confusing days now

#

so drake comes before railen

midnight crypt
#

And Drake doesn’t have defensecon anymore since they are now apart of ILW

heady escarp
#

is there anything before drake and railen?

#

like january or feb

midnight crypt
#

I don’t remember

heady escarp
#

since they said 26 ships

#

I doubt it will be only on alien ilw and iae

midnight crypt
#

Hermes is most likely for January

heady escarp
#

ah the apollo variant

midnight crypt
#

Yeah

heady escarp
#

would be better, a cargo with med bay is actually better than a hospital

midnight crypt
#

For medium and small ships. They just release them for the patch. Big events they release large/cap ships

#

For alien week, did we even get a new alien ship?

#

For all we know, they’ll sell the Railen concept one more time for alien week and then release it at IAE

heady escarp
#

honestly

#

cant remember

#

what did we get alien week this year....

midnight crypt
#

I don’t think we gotten anything. Stinger was citcon

heady escarp
#

found it

#

we got

#

Esperia Prowler Utility

midnight crypt
#

Oh that’s right

#

A copy and paste

heady escarp
#

yep

#

I mean it doesnt look that bad but no one is flying it

#

there are way better ships

midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

they didnt even need to nerf it since it was already nerfed

heady escarp
#

the cargo utility? doubt

midnight crypt
#

I know someone that only ever flies the utility

heady escarp
#

umm tbh I kinda need to test it

midnight crypt
#

But yeah there are so many better options

#

It’s suppose to be extremely stealthy but it is also very fragile

heady escarp
#

nearly 0

#

cause people hate glass ships

#

nowadays RSI ships became so bad

#

people switching to other manufacturers

midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

might as well fly naked

#

btw heard some news about alien armor

#

they thinking of changing alien armor and shields of every alien race

#

it was a talk in citizen con shanghai this year

midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

for example the Xian ships will have shock absorbing shields

#

and the banu will have regenerative HP

midnight crypt
#

Hmm

heady escarp
#

dont ask me what it means, but its still a bonus !

#

DogChamp a ship that regenerates after fights

#

then again banu has only 2 ships, and 1 of them is in concept for 13 years

midnight crypt
#

I hope my kraken gets the no armor is best armor treatment. Ballistic just over pens and does nothing 😄

heady escarp
midnight crypt
#

Perseus is perfectly fine

heady escarp
azure fulcrum
#

xi'an equivelant of perseus

#

UwU

heady escarp
azure fulcrum
heady escarp
#

the aopao or whatever?

azure fulcrum
#

yeah AopoA made the karthu'al

heady escarp
#

San’tok.yāi too

azure fulcrum
#

so AopoA is just for "light craft"meh

midnight crypt
#

CIG should make a medium size ship for banu to release next year. Just so they have something they can use assets from for the merchantman

azure fulcrum
#

Gatac is just for commercial industrial

#

where's the heavy coombat manufacturer

midnight crypt
heady escarp
midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

they said: We will THINK about it

midnight crypt
#

I had the BMM pledged since it’s suppose to be a very fast capital ship but melted it and then when I gotten the $15k pack, I traded it up for the A2

heady escarp
#

tbh, the 15K pack is all u need

azure fulcrum
heady escarp
#

DogChamp they wont release it cause of tariffs

midnight crypt
heady escarp
midnight crypt
#

I don’t want the starlancer max and guardian but I don’t know what to trade them up to with out spending over $200 on a trade up

#

Also could just save them until they have a new ship released that cost over $250 to trade up

heady escarp
midnight crypt
#

Well you can already bring that number down to 20 since we know 6 of them

heady escarp
#

ironclad
ironclad assault
galaxy
railen
kruger stingray

#

and whos the 6th?

midnight crypt
#

Hermes

heady escarp
#

ah yes

#

herpes

midnight crypt
#

And I already got the galaxy and both ironclads as well

heady escarp
#

herpes and stingray not OC sales yet

#

so that leaves railen for u

midnight crypt
#

I don’t want Railen since I’ll mostly be using the ironclads for hauling anyways

heady escarp
midnight crypt
#

I love the design but it will just be a decoration in the hangar

heady escarp
#

so what ship

#

is your favourite

#

for now?

midnight crypt
#

Uh. I daily the idris m. But my favorite that’s in game currently is meteor. Especially with the one paint which I think is called shimmer

heady escarp
midnight crypt
#

Yeah but meteor is just an escape ship for my idris 😄

heady escarp
#

true

midnight crypt
#

But once I get my kraken, it will be my base

heady escarp
#

will you get the new 6K dollar battlecruiser?

midnight crypt
#

I would like to trade up my javelin for it, but you can’t trade up $1000+ ships

heady escarp
#

true

midnight crypt
#

For how much money I spent with only a year of playing, maybe they’ll let me if I ask nicely

heady escarp
#

lol

#

no chance

#

some players are in the hundreds of thousands

#

those are the true vip

#

they get a direct line with support

midnight crypt
#

Yeah but the rate I been spending, they might want to keep me happy to keep me spending

#

😄

heady escarp
#

hahhhhh I wont deny that it is a big possibility

midnight crypt
#

I didn’t even want the javelin but majority of the ships I already had in the $15k pack and I couldn’t pass up all the LTI

heady escarp
#

in all honesty I dont see myself playing 10 years SC

#

but LTI and 10 years dont have same sound

midnight crypt
#

Especially when my pioneer only had 6mo insurance

heady escarp
#

witht he land claim?

midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

ah

#

saw some ocs go for 1K5

#

on greymarket

midnight crypt
#

They sell for so much since you don’t have to pay taxes to UEE for that land claim

heady escarp
#

orgs are preparing

midnight crypt
#

I’d be pissed if they release the pioneer and they bring back land claim on it. I wouldn’t be able to do anything with my pioneer since it’s stuck in the pack

#

But owning 2 pioneers might not be too bad since I can always lease one out for free money

heady escarp
midnight crypt
#

My main reason why I have both krakens is if one blows up, I have a back up while waiting for the claim. Originally I just wanted the privateer and thought the shops was just a module. But it’s not and to switch between the krakens, need to take it to a shipyard and it would be a time consuming process to switch back and forth

heady escarp
#

there are only 2 ships with shops

#

kraken and BMM
kraken supposedly have 10 shops and 2 private shops, while BMM has 8

midnight crypt
#

Kraken is better in mostly every single way

heady escarp
#

umm, we dont know yet

#

the BMM still has the guns

midnight crypt
#

That’s the only good thing about the BMM is the pilot 2 S8

heady escarp
#

in versatility, definitely BMM wins but kraken as a ship carrier and shop wins

#

for example

#

kraken can stay in orbit and let other players dock

#

or even NPCs apparently

midnight crypt
#

Yeah

heady escarp
midnight crypt
#

Ehh

heady escarp
midnight crypt
#

Also kraken can AI blade all turrets while BMM can only blade 2

heady escarp
#

still

#

BMM has PDCs

midnight crypt
#

It wouldn’t of if it wasn’t originally in the concept

heady escarp
#

lucky it was old

midnight crypt
#

But there is still a chance the kraken could get it since it is an aircraft carrier

heady escarp
#

honestly dont know

#

its 50%

#

if it has its a nice surprise

midnight crypt
#

But it also has the BMM beat in PDCs anyways. It can have 100 MDCs on the flight deck

midnight crypt
#

But if they barely work 1% of the time then having a 100 will work 100% of the time

heady escarp
midnight crypt
#

Not before my 200 fury swarm you

#

Also it’s been awhile since Perseus got mentioned in Perseus pals sooo

#

There. Balanced restored

heady escarp
#

tbh I find fury ship kinda cute, wouldve been my daily if it had quantum

midnight crypt
#

Before they got nerfed. I used the railgun with 5.5km range. With full stealth on fury. Like a mosquito. Got you and would have no clue where it came from

heady escarp
midnight crypt
heady escarp
#

they cant?

midnight crypt
#

No. I tried it. I wanted it there to be the perfect escape ship since mostly everyone doesn’t even know how to get to it

heady escarp
#

supposedly Khartu-Al is smaller than it?

midnight crypt
heady escarp
humble anvil
#

Hm

heady escarp
humble anvil
#

Yeah my Christmas break from work is going to be interesting....

heady escarp
#

if kruger took over BMM, I imagine it will be like this

heady escarp
heady escarp
#

okay let me try fin with perseus

humble anvil
#

Lmaoooo

#

Better than CiG can do

heady escarp
#

eeeh

#

did you see

#

the skins of luminalia

humble anvil
#

What about them. I thought the c1 white n blue was nice

#

Brb

heady escarp
#

the green ones

humble anvil
#

Oh God

#

I don't like those xd

azure fulcrum
#

the pastel color green and red (brown) makes no sense for christmas lol

azure fulcrum
heady escarp
#

merry xmas

tawny fern
#

merry christmas!

azure fulcrum
#

merry christmasu

midnight crypt
azure fulcrum
midnight crypt
#

I would do it few times at orbituary and then 10-15 minutes later, I’d go back and all their loot would be taken XD

lone bloom
#

So, when do we get a Christmas tree at luminalia so we can place it in our perseus?

azure fulcrum
#

or u culd just turn perseus into the christmas tree

lone bloom
#

Or could just not use AI

azure fulcrum
#

I used photoshop of course

lone bloom
#

Yeah thats why everywhere on the gifts there are mixxed together stuff

#

and the bridge section has apparantly not roof glass

azure fulcrum
#

a little artistic freedom

lone bloom
#

I wonder

#

If CIG accepts AI for their card contest stuff

#

I really hope not

azure fulcrum
#

xDDD

lone bloom
#

But i wouldn't be surprised

#

bro wtf

#

what the fuck happened to the perseus on the left

azure fulcrum
#

AI ttripping and hallucinating

lone bloom
#

Thats how I imagine LSD gonna look like

azure fulcrum
#

when you take LSD ur brain goes into chatGPT mode

lone bloom
#

but also confused and has dementia at the same time?

azure fulcrum
#

yeah...

#

I'm gonna have to spend another working day attempting to find the perfect mousepad image

#

fml

lone bloom
#

Me with just a fully black one with LED strips around it

azure fulcrum
#

I want something cringe, edgy but also tasteful and artistic at the same time

#

hmmmm

lone bloom
#

Well I have Razer Goliathus pad

azure fulcrum
#

they better hurry with fixing the illumination

lone bloom
azure fulcrum
#

VR headsets suck they all have glare and other issues

lone bloom
#

I mean just generally GI will give SC a giant glowup

#

visually

#

But they also said its just basic GI, not including raytracing yet

azure fulcrum
#

they need gaytracing for SQ42 AFAIK

lone bloom
#

Thats why they push GI now probably

azure fulcrum
#

knowing that no gay tracing SQ42 prob not cumming Q1

lone bloom
#

Because not having GI or and raytracing in a current game and want to have it a "equally event to GTA6" ... eh xD

azure fulcrum
#

XDDDDDD

#

maaaaybe its releasing Q3

#

would be really stupid if it released Q4

lone bloom
#

I mean you can see that there is no RT in it

#

the blue reflections on the wall on the left

#

just blue blurry balls while the sauce is linear

azure fulcrum
#

what about the shadows in star citizen?

#

aren't we supposed to have those updated too?

lone bloom
#

i mean those get updated with RT/GI too no?

azure fulcrum
#

I guess so

#

I hope they give us a new update soon about the specifics

lone bloom
#

Thought GI will be already in PU already at that point

#

afterall it was in Evo and PTU

#

But guess they said "nope not good enough"

azure fulcrum
#

sucks

lone bloom
#

I would've taked that state

#

Maybe with the inventory update aka 4.5.1?

azure fulcrum
#

that would be nice

lone bloom
#

Would also gladly take the inventory update...

#

Well at least we got a ship searchbar now after idk how many years yeah

#

Hope at least the basebuild and crafting UI is good

azure fulcrum
#

2026 year of accountability for CIG lol if they don't release SQ42 this year it would be messed up

#

if they release SQ42 and the PU is in a bad state it would also give a bad impression to the fresh batch of players

#

so this letter of the chairman should give us an idea of what direction 2026 is supposed to go

lone bloom
#

Well SQ42 will either be the death or savior

#

of SC

azure fulcrum
#

but it seems a lot more vague than last year

lone bloom
azure fulcrum
#

yeah its not good

lone bloom
#

yeah it that releases like that and it should turn out its like that we're cooked, deep fried even

azure fulcrum
#

lets try to condense this convoluted mess in the wheelchair letter:

2026 Focus: Enhance Star Citizen stability, depth in core systems (Engineering, Inventory, Crafting, Social), and universe expansion via dynamic Server Meshing for thousands of players.

Planetary Tech: Genesis planets with advanced biomes, AI ecosystems, and Starchitect sites.

Core Upgrades: Improved Item Recovery, Inventory, Insurance, persistence.

Squadron 42: Prioritize polish for 2026 Beta/release, no long marketing.

#

soooo it seems like more quality of life, another year of stability and further refinement on core systems

lone bloom
#

I mean considering they want to push to 1.0 now (finally?)

#

They have to purely focus on core systems

azure fulcrum
#

ideally 1.0 would release with sq42

lone bloom
#

Thats what they should've done for the last 13 years

#

Like there is a huge shit ton of core systems either partially missing - or entirely missing

azure fulcrum
#

yeah IDK wtf they were doing for the last 13 years (well actually we do know they remade SQ42 3 times they redone the flight model 20 times and just went in circles)

#

with everything basically

#

development hell spiral staircase of tech debt

#

they dumbed down the flight model with mastermodes apparently because investors demanded it to be more accesible to the plebs

azure fulcrum
lone bloom
#

Any kind of social features outside of basic friend list and temporary party? none
Game loops partially implemented, some - even main ones - still entirely missing, or need a full rework (Taxi missions, datarunning, basebuild, crafting entirely missing, Bounty Hunting needing an entire rework + new features ontop of that to run in the first place)
GI/Raytrace
DSM
Native VR Support
AI Blades/Crew
Ai being able to use basic "missions" aka fly in the verse......

azure fulcrum
#

instead of just throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks

lone bloom
#

Player-Player trading options non existing which is essential for an MMO

azure fulcrum
#

theres no MMO elements its just a sandbox still (can hardly call the reputation system meaningful or mission system like we have in an MMO)

lone bloom
#

oh right the entire Rep overhault that was supposed to come with 4.0 including the law (enforcement) overhaul...

#

also never came lmao

midnight crypt
#

One thing I’m curious is that once we do hit 1.0, are they going to have full wipes if someone finds an exploit or is the in-game economy going to be ruined forever

lone bloom
azure fulcrum
#

better to just ban the exploiters

#

they'd ban half of their playerbase but its better than a full wipe

lone bloom
#

In my view it could be simple lol

midnight crypt
#

One thing they can do is just do a money wipe. Everyone keeps their ships and stuff they earned but these full wipes is just insane

lone bloom
#

Have all transactions stored, if one gets confirmed that he used a exploit reverse all player-player transactions

#

from that account

midnight crypt
#

Actually full wipe is just death of a spaceman v0

azure fulcrum
#

the expectations do not seem to match their realistic track record

lone bloom
#

I mean what they said about the rep stuff sounded more like basic MMO feature

azure fulcrum
#

we know imperium wheelchair clown is incompetent

lone bloom
#

If good with frak 1 you're bad with frak 2

#

therefor frak 2 won't let you enter their system

#

or fight you

azure fulcrum
lone bloom
#

and Frak 1 gives you XYZ payments/paints/whatever for getting higher ranks

#

literally basic

azure fulcrum
#

they cant get basic right lol

midnight crypt
#

I hope max rep with UEE they give you free 1km x 1km land claim

lone bloom
#

Thought there is no direct UEE rep?

#

Only Mercenary thats "kinda" connected to UEE

#

so they give you Military variants

azure fulcrum
#

just the most we can hope for next year realistically is a decent SQ42 release

#

PU will still be a shitshow

midnight crypt
azure fulcrum
#

its not going to be an MMO worth playing next year

lone bloom
#

also smallest claim is 2x2?

azure fulcrum
midnight crypt
#

Thought the pioneer OC gave 1x1?

azure fulcrum
#

a wholeorg

lone bloom
#

They don't sell it anymore tho

#

and also said they won't sell that claim anymore

midnight crypt
#

Ah

lone bloom
#

2x2 4x4 and 10x10 are there

#

at least from what i know

midnight crypt
#

But don’t need land claim anyways but if it’s free, that’s free protection from UEE

lone bloom
#

dunno how a single player is supposed to fill those 2x2 but i guess player freedom first

midnight crypt
azure fulcrum
#

guys does this seem realistic for 2026

midnight crypt
#

I need to buy back the company pack that has Orion, reclaimer, genesis starliner, crucible and starfarer back so I get my “free” copy of SQ42

lone bloom
#

also you still need generators

#

xD

azure fulcrum
#

1 dynamic server meshing.
2 improved stability
3 expanding core systems
4 planet tech
5 quality of life core systems
6 SQ42 beta & release

#

guys is this realistic?

#

for 2026

lone bloom
#

expanding core systems can be anything

#

not specified enough

#

Improved stability was said for years and stability didn't got really increased outside of 4.0 server meshing

#

(and even then still failing partially)

#

its all marketing fluff

azure fulcrum
#

hmmm so its basically "we're attempting to do this but it'll barely improve"

lone bloom
#

The only things you can trust is maybe the SQ42 beta release thing since they seem to take that one now serious

#

and the ones on the progress tracker aka inventory, and idk anymore what the other two were

#

Engineering

#

and something else

azure fulcrum
#

exactly

#

I have little hope for the inventory to improve much lol

lone bloom
#

i mean the leaked picture is alot of improvement in my view

#

it was alot of clutter but still better than what we have now

azure fulcrum
#

IDK dont seen picture

lone bloom
#

not?

azure fulcrum
#

I googled

lone bloom
#

yeah that one

#

ngl after seeing SCUM and Escape from Tarkov inventory stuff

azure fulcrum
#

ehh I guess it looks better

lone bloom
#

Its not THAT much clutter

#

at least compared to them kekw

azure fulcrum
#

I like the paperdoll overview

#

thats a real improvement

#

search bar is improvement

#

better filters hopefully

#

the tabs are convenient

#

ok I agree it does look improving lol

lone bloom
#

Would say that every item is now equally large in the "backpack" / inventory is also a huge improvement

azure fulcrum
#

lets hope

lone bloom
#

aka having a metric system

#

I mean compare it to this shit

azure fulcrum
azure fulcrum
lone bloom
#

tbf that inventory has less clutter

#

But guess its simply to the nature that SC has more "armor" and clothing stuff, and weapon attachments stuff you also have to manage

azure fulcrum
#

yeah

lone bloom
#

The line work bro wtf

#

why is the undersuit

#

beneath the main suit in that order

#

because of that the arm armor has to cross that line

azure fulcrum
# azure fulcrum

IDK it looks great from the pic but the endproduct might be different who knows

lone bloom
#

that triggers me now

#

also

#

had the undersuit line to end

azure fulcrum
lone bloom
#

at that specific area?

azure fulcrum
#

beneath arms

lone bloom
#

since it got leaked like over half a year ago

azure fulcrum
#

just some photoshop image

#

not actually ingame

lone bloom
#

well it was in pipeline

#

so its from CIG pretty sure

azure fulcrum
#

pipeline 🤡

lone bloom
#

obv

#

but its still a trustworthy sauce for fluffs like that

#

even while knowing that CIG leaks it purposly

azure fulcrum
#

still its not ingame image it just image edited

#

piepleen CIG same thing

lone bloom
#

I mean "making it work" isn't the UI designers thing anymore xD

#

Designers work is only to make it shiny

#

not to work xD

azure fulcrum
#

yep

#

amazing

lone bloom
#

If it aint working it was some devs fault xD

#

But I kinda thought with that image that they were pretty far with it already

#

and expected it in the near future

#

but now its already roughly a year ago

azure fulcrum
#

more excite for palworld than sq42 or gta 6

lone bloom
azure fulcrum
lone bloom
#

Minus 200 Nintendo Social Credits

azure fulcrum
#

fuck nintendo lol

lone bloom
#

minus 500

#

But yeah Nintendo still place 1 by far by being the greediest and scummiest gaming companies

azure fulcrum
#

runescape dragonwild development is on a snail pace gonna tkae 5 years

lone bloom
#

Like not even EA activison or blizzard is that bad

#

not even near it

azure fulcrum
#

I wonder what vegans and peta think about palworld

#

I've enjoyed blizzard games heroes of the storm so good

lone bloom
#

wonder when Nintendo games come to steam somehow

azure fulcrum
lone bloom
#

breaking news Steam buys SC

#

That would be something
