Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

Blade-Runner said:
You people on [H] crack me up, dare to mention anything critical in the BF4 beta thread and you get screamed down that its only a beta (which it isn't). But yet you have people in this thread tearing down Star Citizen on the basis of pre-alpha code in an unfinished hanger module which is being deconstructed and pulled apart by fans to show off assets not otherwise accessible to less savvy users.

Yea, I don't get it either. Also being all up in arms about price tags being on things.

All you have to do is not buy them. Even if the dogfighting module is technologically half baked and a little buggy, I won't be upset. It's a small piece of the game that they are letting us taste almost a year before Alpha.
 
This is nice, we will be able to fly all ships during the dogfighting alpha.
P.S: I also remember Wingman and Rob talking, on the last Hangover, about only having 3 ships available(Aurora, 300, hornet) on version 1.0 of the Dogfighting module.

If the devs (and fans) don't want comments on the current state of the game then they shouldn't release such content.

Yep, and if you don't want comments on your crazy thoughts, you shouldn't release such thoughts on a public forum :p

It's hard for people to take you seriously when you paid up to pledge on the game based on very little information, but say you want to jump ship over a random hacked screenshot.

Did you pledge money for the hangar? If so, I agree, get your money back. Personally I pledged for the actual final game, not some hacked together pre-alpha junk they threw at us, hence why I'm not trying to get a refund over the hangar even though I'm pretty "meh" about it.

The fact that I can even GET into my ship and check it out makes me happy, granted I can't do anything other than just that, but its nice to get a quick peek at what I purchased.

I may be "meh" about the fact that I can't do anything OTHERWISE, but I love it still nonetheless.

Yeah, I'm pretty indifferent about the hangar. I installed it and since it came out I don't think I've spent more than 5 minutes with it.
 
Fuck Yes, the F7C-M super hornet has the max tier 4 powerplant. thats the only thing i cared about. the second seat is just gravy.

i might get a second super hornet instead of a cutlass so i can have 2 flying with my retailator as wingmen maybe, and worst case scenario if i cant do that just leave one setup for stealth and the other setup for pure combat and use which ever i need for the situation and not have to worry about swapping parts later.

not getting a ghost or swacs cause i dont want the smaller powerplant version of the hornet and i can get all those low emission and swac features ingame with credits
 
Lorien.... I have a super hornet.. if you could be so kind as to make it LTI for me.. :)

That commercial got me..

Edit:

Wildace... I hooooooope they release black skins for the F7CM....


I'm tempted to get a ghost regardless..... it looks so awesome.



ALSO, if you didn't notice.. teh F7C-M super hornet has a jump drive.
 
How long are they planning on making these available for, I wont be able to grab it till end of the weekend (Sunday night)

blackbeard skin is black, but there will be other skins ingame too so you can prob get a pink super hornet if you want.


for me it all comes down to that power plant, everything else can be bought ingame/upgraded too in game from those other hornet variants. so i can make the super hornet black ingame, and can make it stealth ingame with better stealth equipment or add an SWACS too it ect but i cant take a standard F7C and give it that larger power plant in game.

im not a big fan of the extra seat but it doesnt look like it added too much extra weight which i can forgive for getting the larger powerplant size for more shield/weapon energy

The ghost is so sick looking.


It looks like based on the brochure you can make the larger FC7-M exactly like the ghost but a two seater.

No need for 2 seats, son will have his own ship that he will blow up to his own delight! :) He would only get bored sitting 2 seater unless he was flying. He gets my Aurora LN. I keep my avenger and now the ghost hornet. I can use either to my advantage when hes playing, or if were flying with the [H]orde I can still use his aurora and my avenger for fun! :) Scavanging among [H]orde is gonna be fun!
 
We need a wing of ghosts with one swacs and one ecm jamming... and a corvette looking all vulnerable... only to have the ghosts just pop up out of nowhere and let loose...... soooo many laser beams.
 
freaky think of the powerplant! also you can stick an ai in the second seat or leave it empty and keep it as a spot for bounties.

* The Super Hornet’s second seat has no rigidly assigned role. It can be used for:
•
Command seat for coordinating multiple wingmen (ideal for multi-craft organizations).
•
Weapons officer — running missiles, countermeasures, turrets & damage control.
•
Lockdown seat for bounty hunters; live targets can be secured here.
•
High-value passenger seat (or just a chance to fly a friend around).
 
Soooo anyone interested in buying themselves a Tracker hornet and being my personal bitc...err advance scout? You will have a guaranteed docking spot in my Idris :D

P.S: For those who asked, yes I have LTI on all the new hornets be it package or addon

True. but my focus IS on being stealthy, going in after major fights and stealing ship parts / high value items, etc. Thats it! :) My avenger is going for all speed and cargo, I will give barely any power to guns unless truly needed.

Im dabbling either between the ghost or the tracker myself so I can find high-value items via radar recon, so it might be possible I get the tracker, but the ghost just looks sleek as all get out.
 
Lorien.. I sent you a Weekend Warrior package to make LTI.. Once again I appreciate it greatly :)

I'll probably set up my super hornet for tracking as well as a ghost type... so I wouldn't mind being an escort for you. It's the least I can do for all you've done for the community :)

how do you add LTI to anything o,o? part of the package you got?
Click to expand...

Original backer perk and I can pass on the perk to you.

- You send me your game package
- I melt it for store credit and get back the amount you paid for it
- I repurchase the package with LTI
- I gift it back to you
- You profit

All free of charge

Lorien is an original backer. Original and veteran backers (backed before a certain time period) can purchase ships until nov 26 with LTI. The way it's working now is lorien is being kind enough to let us gift packages to him, he rebuys it with the credit after he turns it in for credit.. then regifts us back the LTI package.

Ultimately that is exactly what's going to happen because at the end of the day it's all a game of numbers. Just like in EVE there will be player organizations in SC that will simply take over shit with sheer numbers.

Not sure if you played EVE, but there were Goons who swarmed everything with cheap ships, death by a thousand papercuts, then all of a sudden they all had capital ships and swarmed folks with those (as did other alliances).

Influence and space ownership (formal or informal) will be dictated by those who can field the most ships around the clock.
 
The instancing system will curb that to an extent but yes at the start of the game crashing a bunch of Auroras with LTI into capital ships will probably be the best strategy.

Cool! thanks man :)

How does it work If I have a whole pledge? can I send just the ship? or do I need to a buy a separate ship?

bad explination:

for Gifting, it only lets me send the "arbiter pledge" not the 325a?

If [H] is smart they will ally with Goons.

PM me so I can better explain your options as there are many ways of doing it to get you the best value for your money.

I know a few of them through helping them with LTI upgrades and also ex-guildies. Some are part of their main fleet and others are goons that intend to troll the main fleet. It's good to know people on both sides, it makes playing without formal allegiances all the more fun :D
