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

And it takes a bit to get to level 5. Your level only goes above level 1 if you are actively attacking innocent people and blowing up empty ships. Normal play will not go over level 1.
 
I mean, kill the arrays to make the area 'not-monitored', and then its OK. But monitored arrays, and Port Olisar and CryAstro will get you.

Exciting news for Idris owners from Around the Verse episode today. Foundry 42 UK talking about testing:

TJ: Yeah, there’s a lot of ships!

NE: There is yeah! We’ve got the Idris in there which is quite exciting for some of the guys who’ve been doing playtests

TJ: In there as in, in-game?

NE: Yep. Flying around shooting people in turrets it’s quite good fun. It’s still a way off release but we’re starting to be able to play around with it. Which is really encouraging. It’s certainly big as cap ships going in there and actually seeing what they can actually do is fantastic.
 
Nice, I personally don't expect them to release the Idris before Squadron 42 is done.

It looks like Citizen-Con will be at the same place they used last time in LA. Sunday OCT 9th. I think may try for it this year, since I'm usually off sundays and mondays and if the flights are cheap.
 
LOL, Reverse the Verse was taken down with a copyright claim :D

SUPER SPOILERISH, STOP READING NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPOIL ANYTHING. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.


Datamined audio from 2.2 Calliope Project

Lots of clues as to where this belongs to:
- You are recovering from severe injuries; 90% burns over your body, disfigured features, internal lung bleeding, etc. From earlier datamined assets we know our character in the game is a survivor of the Vanduul attack on Vega (yes the one Admiral Bishop mentioned in his speech).
- You are given a choice from a biomodification company to choose a new look (facial features and body type), this is obviously an intro to the character customization portion of the game.
- You are also contacted by a Sergeant who gives you a choice to return to civilian life via medical discharge (which is obviously the option to enter the PU directly bypassing the single player campaign and without citizenship) or to continue to the Flight Academy (SQ42 single player campaign).

Important Issues:

  • If you’re experiencing a crash when going into or during Quantum Travel, delete any .cfg files that are in your Test folder. If you add settings via a custom user.cfg, return them with caution until you are certain none of them are affecting performance.

Star Systems:
  • Fixed an issue where the Audio in Crusader was missing certain bass elements.

Ships:
  • Fixed an issue where the Freelancer had incorrect mass values.
  • Fixed an issue where the Retaliator and Constellation turret fire would be offset from the aimed direction.

  • Fixed an issue where the Cutlass Black turret would not fire.
First Person:
  • Fixed an issue where the LH-86 Combustion Pistol wouldn’t respawn after being picked up and relogging.
  • Fixed an issue where the Crusader marine loadout was missing suit thrusters.
  • Fixed an issue where the Marine loadout was missing hair.
User Interface:
  • Fixed an issue where repairs made to a ship would not update the ship HUD hologram.
 
I'm going to wait till there is a 4k version of the VR stuff and a good year or so before I decide to plop down money on it. I could never stand wearing those crappy 3 glasses just to see a movie. I honestly don't know if I'm going to be able to handle wearing a VR setup for longer than an hour lol.

Lorien, are you posting every patch because you are not in the PTU?
It's very obvious they are doing this daily, especially if you are in the PTU as it kicks you off the server when a new one is pushed
 
Did anyone else see the reports that the Caterpillar is much bigger? Some people are saying around 110m, which I'm going to take with a grain of salt. I can't find any official info and I'm just wondering if I'm missing something.

I saw Teller's video showing it bigger but I'm not sure where they got the info:
 
Managed to become level 3 criminal by deactivating Comm Arrays and attacking NPC defenders on 2.2.0i then I got timed out, only managed that 'cause server I spawned in was fairly empty. Gonna see if I can hit level 5.
2.2.0K live on PTU (pretty small ~1GB patch) the issues list is becoming smaller and smaller.

Important Issues:

  • If you’re experiencing a crash when going into or during Quantum Travel, delete any .cfg files that are in your Test folder. If you add settings via a custom user.cfg, please do so only with extreme caution.
  • Using the Holotable in the Revel & York hangar will cause the game client to become unresponsive.
Star Systems:
  • Fixed an issue where the loadout flashlight in Crusader would occasionally decide it was part of a rave and flash rapidly.
  • Made some additional tweaks to resolve issues with ship weapons projectiles desyncing from the local client in Crusader.
  • Made some additional improvements to resolve weapons fire not “converging” on the target correctly when fired.
  • Made some additional changes to EVA animations to smooth out some of the transitions.
Technical:
  • Fixed several client crashes.
 
If you don't want to download the whole thing and had PTU access rename the "Test" folder to "Public" and just verify the files
 
Wow framerates are great. I am getting at least double the frame rate. 24 players is nice too.
Now they just need to make the Sabre rentable so I can try it out.
 
I bought Freelancer MIS to Sabre upgrade (since I had store credits) but I'm not sure whether or not to apply it. I'd really need to try it first.

By the way, if you upgrade to Sabre, will you get VFG hangar too? None of my original non-upgraded ships came with Aeroview hangar yet I have it so that made me wonder...
 
I'm on the same boat. I will have to apply a Super Hornet upgrade from a vanilla Hornet and on top of that the Sabre upgrade and I know Customer Service won't unravel that spaghetti if I want to go back.
 
I hope they put the Sabre in the EA store so I can use my REC to try it out first though.
 
You get the VFG hangar if you upgrade.

I tried the sabre out last night in vanduul swarm. Honestly I don't think it's yet worth upgrading from a SH. If they do something with stealth mechanics, then maybe. But basically you go from the best combat ship (the SH) to one with less weapons and less survivability.

It is fast (260 w/ quad Panthers), looks good and the engines sound really good.

Cross chassis upgrades only change the ship, not the insurance, hangar, or extras.

If you have the Revel & York on another ship, you also get the lower ones including the Aeroview.
 
Here's what mine looks like. Before the SH -> Sabre upgrade, it was just the Aeroview hangar.

Well... I don't have a single package that has Aeroview hangar or better yet I have it. I have 325A game package, Reliant -> Reliant Tana and this:

Freelancer does come with Aeroview hangar though so that would explain it.
