I'm rich in EA store creds lol

We’ve pushed out 1.1.1 to Public Test Universe today!

IMPORTANT: You will need to re-copy your account over to PTU again at https://robertsspaceindustries.com/account/ptu. See below for more instructions and information.

We have detailed Patch Notes here at https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/249555/star-citizen-patch-v1-1-1 but here are some highlights.

- Gladiator is Flight Ready
- Gunner Seat Functionality in Free Flight for the Gladiator, the Super Hornet, and the Cutlass Black
- Sledge II game balancing
- Players can now solve issues where their characters get stuck by opening the console (~), typing in stuck, and hitting enter to respawn the character
- Pilots with lower score relative to the average contribute less to the REC pool
- Various bug fixes, including for the first of many client optimizations and assorted fixes for client crashes

- Fixed an issue where the game may crash when loading into a Multiplayer Game Mode

(Please note: We still have some outstanding multiplayer stability items to work on; additional future updates on this to come.)

When we feel PTU is stable, we’ll be pushing it out 1.1.1 to the Live Service later this week or early next week.

They are still working on getting 1.1.1 out for us, I still get the manifest error. Was trying to get a friend of mine who streams to fly my Gladiator since I'm at work, but he had to log before they were able to fix it :-(
 
is it just me or are ass hats actively trying to slam their ship into you at full speed?
 
Being a backer since 2013 and playing around with Arena Commander, I do not like how quickly you black out. Have they talked about making any sort of adjustment to this?
 
It's still one of the things in development, and some bugs are still present possibly making the effects worse. That said, the way Chris is designing the game everything is suppose to have some type negative effect for a positive to balance things out. In this case Small ships have high maneuverability and speed, which means you will blackout/redout faster, left to right movements don't seem to cause this currently. Anyway I don't know for sure if it will get better or worse though lol...

The only thing I know that has been said is there will be ways to lessen the effects, such as upgraded/specialized flight suits and possibly some type of consumable.
 
Sweet they got all the flyable limited ships in the EA rental store for subscribers now, I was worried when I didn't see them the other day. Hopefully they get the Gladiator in there soon once 1.1.1 drops :)
 
The Gladiator video was cool, there was a second one of the person in the turret from the same video. I don't know where the link is though but it looked fun.
 
Between exploring the connie in zero g with the animations with the hand gripping areas and the turret views I'm a happy camper lol... Things are shaping up better than I hoped. The Multi crew turret stuff just looks downright fun.

This is an answer to my question on Reddit, it may help you

Did you examine your DATA folder to see if there were any old spaceship files in there that may have been causing a conflict?
The "mustang double-decker bug" was solved this way, the only other solution I know of was a full reinstall.
There's more info in my comment in the FAQ thread in the sidebar, under "muh mustang no wokr" or something equally silly.

Thanks for the ideas, I ended up reinstalling the game twice it was horribly long. Downloaded first time at 200KB/s, had 4 gigs left and discovered they had a new installer and patcher that had to be fresh installed with the new installer. So had to uninstall all that progress and download again. On a positive note there fixes to the CDN and new patcher is a lot faster, not amazing but downloaded at 500KB/s so 150% speed increase is nice. Just finished the download and my mustangs work now :D
 
Also seems like my suspicions were correct, with 1.1.1 they are doing an Anvil 2 seater sale, so not just the Gladiator, Sale starts tomorrow. So if you want a Super hornet or upgrade from your normal hornet to super Now is a good chance to get it.

i posted a Poll in the official forums wondering people wanted to see just the gladiator for sale with its flight ready sale or both the Gladiator and Super Hornet since 1.1.1 added the multi crew capability to the Super Hornet.

https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/249771/anvil-sale-incoming

They confirmed this sale is happening and you can buy both the Gladiator and Super Hornet on todays ATV at about 36minutes in.

Super Hornet is easily one of CIG's best sellers, I bet you they wanna move as many as possible before they add them to everyone's REC store.
 
I have $40 store credit, and it'll take a little more to buy either one however I am having a hard time making a decision.

Gladius or Avenger?

were you wanting a Gladiator or Super hornet?

because if those were your main target you can just get the final upgrade/CCU piece of the puzzle. and then when you have the money just get the main hornet body and upgrade to either one.

So you can spend $25 and get the Hornet tracker to Super hornet upgrade, and just hold on to that upgrade until you can afford the $140 for the hornet tracker to apply the limited time sale upgrade you bought.

or if you are interested in the Gladiator the same should be possible we do not know what its CCU path would be but the cheapest it could be would be a $10 Tracker to Gladiator CCU it might cost more than that tho.

So, if your end goal is one of those limited ships just get the final piece and sit on it.

you can also get your self and avenger, and the $25 tracker to super upgrade for $5 cheaper than a gladius, so you could go that route and then ccu the avenger into a hornet tracker later for applying the upgrade.

there are a lot of option when it comes to the limited ships as long as you snag the upgrade for it during the sale, even if you decide you do not want it you can melt it later for credits and turn your avenger into the gladius for $5
 
Wildace, could you tell me exactly what I need to buy to do the above? I want a Super Hornet eventually, but don't want to buy the hornet at this time for $140. What do I need to buy today to allow me to upgrade a hornet to a super hornet in the future? All this CCU and upgrade stuff is a bit daunting.
 
It is not up yet, but it will be going up for sale some time today, usually things go on sale some time around or after 6pm Eastern US time.

On this page

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/extras?product_id=51

once it is up for sale just filter looking for Tracker, and it will show you the option for turning a hornet into a tracker, as well as a tracker into a super hornet.

So you just buy the $25 Tracker to Super Hornet upgrade. and that is all you need to do.

When it comes time to applying the Tracker to Super Hornet Upgrade later.

Depending on the ship you use to start the CCU process, the Super hornet will cost the same as if you just bought the full ship originally but this way you can piece it out in a more manageable way.

Personally i would wait for the MISC Reliant LTI sale, it is a starter ship that will have a Life time insurance and will be flight ready at the same time it goes up for sale (date of sale is unknown)

I would use the Reliant as the base ship for the Super Hornet, then CCU from the reliant until you finally get it to the base hornet hull then you get the $15 Ghost Upgrade, then the $15 ghost to tracker upgrade, then apply your Tracker to super upgrade.

You do not need to wait on the Reliant to go up for sale to get your full super hornet, tho i personally would.

This is a good idea. I wouldn't spend money on entire ships right now, just buy the upgrades you might want to use later. In the meantime, the SH and Gladiator should be in the REC store. After flying it for a few weeks you may not really want it, then you can just melt the upgrade.
 
This is what I did:
sh5jbjs.png

First I upgraded it to Hornet and eventually to Super Hornet. In my opinion it's probably best to get LTI ship and then eventually upgrade it. Though, you never know when they plan to offer Super Hornet again so as far as I know you could buy upgrade package now and apply it later. So basically what the guys above said.
 
sweet, looks like 1.1.1 will be up tonight. I'm going to grab a Gladiator to play around with for a little while before I have to dash out at 4am to catch a flight.

Seems they have a $0.00 swap-able CCU for the Gladiator to Super Hornet and back.

On a side note I grabbed a Gamescom ticket, now I just have to talk my friend into going or I may be making that trip solo haha.

I picked up 4 of each of the $0 swaps, never know what crazy idea i will have or when one or the other might be on sale, and as long as i have an Idris i may always be temped to get a few supers or a gladiator or 2 to stick in its hangar.

Also picked up the usual $25 tracker to super upgrade, i do not have another $25 right now to get a tracker to gladiator upgrade.
 
Ok so I am also befuddled by all the upgrades and insurance things now.

I thought LTI was stopped a while back?

I currently have a Origin 325a.

Is there a way to upgrade (with my LTI) to the hornet or gladiator?
 
yes,

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Cross-Chassis-Upgrades/325a-To-Hornet-Upgrade

get that if you just want the hornet

and then also get

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Upgrades/F7C-M-Super-Hornet-Upgrade

if you want a super hornet.

and then if you want pick up a few each of these like 4 or 5 of each These are free and then you can swap between Gladiator super hornet at will until you run out, so you can get more if you want but they clutter up your hangar a bit.

debating on what to do with my LTI 350r

i love the ship but want more. I just refuse to pay anymore real money for a ship without LTI at this point.
 
not sure it would get nerfed, since in the PU missiles are not free, ships should be balanced for their role in the pu not really how fast they can take out vanduuls in a simulator.

I mean a single size 2 missile could cost more than a bounty reward for a single vanduul.

So relying on them for a general bounty mission in the PU could be trouble for your ingame wallet.
 
have they said if you can do ship upgrades just by playing the game? like: can you buy the hornet now, then upgrade it to super hornet with in-game money?

or are you doomed and all your money is wasted when you get in the game and realize "oh shit, this hornet is useless, now I need to grind out a super hornet from scratch >_<" :p
 
currently you are doomed, each hull is generally unique, there are a few exceptions but for the most part you can't turn one ship into another in game.

Super hornet is a different hull from the normal F7C, while the Ghost and Tracker are both just an F7C with different equipment.

if you have any interest in the F7C-M you should really just get the $25 tracker to super upgrade and then turn your hornet into a tracker later to apply the super upgrade.
 
can you get the cross chassis upgrade and store it and decide later if you want to apply and switch over?

hoping there is an upgrade option to connie later. might be worth getting a versatile ship to start off. The AI crew members will be the questionable part of that though
