Why is the IQ in the hanger so bad compared to the actual dogfighting?

What do you mean by IQ. AS in actual image quality? Like Aliasing is more prevalent in the Hangar?
Or do you mean the shading is better elsewhere?
The game uses the same engine all areas of the game Hangar and AC. If anything, the reason why it may look worse in the hangar is because there are no dynamic movement of lights in the hangar, where in the AC you are constantly moving showing off how changing lighting conditions effect the shading.

Yeah, it does need more work for sure but I did find it refreshing to see an interior that isn't dark and grey like most of the other ships so far are. That being said, the Redeemer still runs away with it for me.
Edit: Yeaaaaah, 3Dingo third place!

Fuck it, voted for 4H.
3Dingo win 3rd place? Shimapan robbed!
100% agreed. Shimapan looks way better.. and is actually in engine.

I was mostly in sync with the general sentiment of Shard having the much better aesthetic, but 4H's general package and interior was better.
3 Dingo's interior and presentation was amazing, but I thought Shimipan was the most unique (3Dingo was a visually busy Pelican from Halo.)

Nice hyper jump effect.I wonder what it looks like form the inside.

That FTL jump! Very slick.
RSI's live streams always come with a seasoned dose of awkward hah, it's endearing.

Shimapan was by far the best for 3rd place. i like their textures a lot too. Too bad.
Also that freelancer add was fantastic. I am not spending any more money in game (after getting the aurora ln) since i want to get the full experience in game but that looked phenomenal. Very strong firefly vibes (which was their intention i am sure).

I thought tonight's live event went very, very well, actually. The judges were awesome, the guys from both teams weren't too awkward at all, considering who we're talking about here. Neeeerds.
The audience was great too. And Sandi was enchanting, as always. <3I pretend another season of TNGS!

Chris Roberts himself said that the in-studio artist felt they had to step it up now. Hehe. I'm sure we will see much more radical and polished designs from now on.

Chris made mention of this in the speech at the end actually. He said how their designs are pushing their internal artists to be better and push more detail essentially.

It did; they are definitely getting better each time they do one. This time they almost made it... it was just the ending where you could see it starting to fall apart a bit! Sandi has gotten a lot better at presenting too.
And hear hear, this has been a fun watch - hopefully the next season won't be too far away.

As in actual image quality, ie aliasing. Used IQ for a reason
Everything shimmers, and nothing seems to have any kind of AA where in space everything looks pretty clean.VisceralBowl

Do we get to keep the TNGS ship(s)? I assume not.
Also, that commercial was pretty sweet.

Thanks MrBig for bringing VoiceAttack to my attention, this is really gonna help streamline the power management and weapon grouping huds, as well as just making everything 110% MORE COOLER!
Can't wait to get this running with an Oculus and a Hotas, my wife is going to get very jealous of my Cutlass.

Is the game crashing for anyone else? Playing on Very High. I get a good frame rate, but eventually the game just freezes up.

Strange I found away around that for my Sci-Fi Story(Will have something soon) but you do have to break a few rules of reality to make my system work.
Freelancer commercial actually live now.

An early look at what jump points will be like?

Perfect truck commercial parody.

I'm thinking the same thing. That commercial was perfect. I want something larger to augment my Origin 315p Explorer. I feel like I'm going to need to smuggle things across the 'verse as if I was Mal or Han to make some space bucks and the Freelancer would be a suitable vessel.
I've enjoyed the dogfighting pre-alpha. I typically will die in the fifth wave though. Any advice for people who are actually good at it?
What's doing you in? Remember to use flares and target hunters/uniques first! Also, it's really easy to randomly die right now, either from enemies crashing into you (dead or alive) or crashing into shit that you can't see (I really wish the game gave you an estimate of distance or some further information about what exactly you are approaching). I think round 5 is the first hunter? Go for him first, the missiles can kill you quickly.
Not quite, just the entry/exit. Jump points will actually involve travel and won't be instantaneous teleports.
Wait, so the Redeemer beat the Boomslang and 3dingo came third over IXM? How could it all go so wrong...
My thoughts exactly.
There were so many designs that I preferred in the eliminated pool.
Not saying the winner isn't sexy, but I thought the others deserved more love ):
Anyone else feel the same?

So guys I got my Saitek X55 which is great and I'll be doing a review of it, but I've also started using a program called voice attack. You can see it in action here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6cK4cAT-a4
I can't even begin to describe how cool it's been to use so far, and even more than immersive, it's actually helpful with extra binds you don't want to worry about stretching for on your keyboard/joystick/Hotas. It just recognizes voice commands then uses a macro you've set in conjunction with it. As you can see in the video, you can even set up sound files to play or text to speech to play after commands are given. Yes your dream of saying, "Helm, warp one engage." has finally come true. It's truly an incredible tool every star citizen should have. There are several free programs that do similar things I've tried, but none of them even come close to the responsiveness and functionality this one has. It's currently $8 US.
By the way, here is the start of a repository for AI responses I've created for my ship when I use voice commands. If you decide to use a voice command software, feel free to use them. I'd also like to possibly get some people interested in recording voice over stuff to use for AI ships if that sounds fun to anyone.
Here is a joke one I did for voice command "Target Forward; Target Front" (yes you can load multiple phrases per single macro.)
