I always feel these commercials are thread worthy. They are just so good. Anyone feeling a thread for this?
If someone makes a thread, throws these in there while you are at it:
They've also released a M50 brochure:

Holy crap, that M50 commercial. They are getting better and better at these cinematics; great writing too.
This is disappointing though, as I'm sure they'd said in the past that everyone would be able to choose,

yeah, I had Business Hangar before, now I get to choose between Aeroview and SelfLand. It's cool that I have the choice (I'd always wanted to see what my ships looked like in the Discount Hangar) but I'm a bit disappointed that I can't choose Revel & York and whatever the Asteroid Hangar is being called.
I can't even buy the Asteroid Hangar! And the Revel & York costs 40 damn dollars! That's way too much for a static area. It should cost $10 tops (and even then it's greedy).

If they would offer the option to choose from all hangars (even if you have the 30$ package) then there would be a ton of pissed of people who bought the hangar addons.
So I think that this "If you have access to the highest tier hangar (Asteroid) you will be able to elect any of the lower tier hangars if you prefer them aesthetically." was always the plan but that they've communicated it (once again) poorly.

This shot is so sexy, it really shows the power of very high quality post-processing.

Improved control sensitivity for finer control on joysticks and thumbsticks.
In the patch notes. Maybe you'll have better luck now.
uhhh yeah, this. Give them their credits, give all of us the hangars.
I will give it a try. Thanks for the info.

I have 2 updates left and this one is 15gb, anyone know how big the last one is?

yea it's really shitty having a constellation and not being able to select the asteroid hangar but those with a ship half the price are able to

Well keep in mind that it's just your starter hangar. It's not like you are completely unable to get an asteroid hangar or anything.
Plus, if you really, really want it, you can get it from the pledge store for $50: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Add-Ons/Starting-Hangar-VFG-Industrial-Hangar-Upgrade
Oh, hey look, I couldn't find that in the store.
$50 for a hangar is insane, though.

As of now though, you can only fly the 300i. They are planning to do two things though:
1) In Arena Commander you will be able to earn fake UEC which you can use to buy ships (only for AC).
2) They are planning to do special events such as a free M50 weekend or something where everyone has access to a ship for a weekend so you can try it out.
So you aren't stuck with only being able to fly the 300i until the game launches. Plus, the PU Alpha comes out next year, so that's when you should get your first taste of buying new ships to use in the universe. Granted, your progress will probably be wiped before release, but you'll still get a chance to play with different ships.
I agree. It simply isn't worth it, even though the asteroid hangar is the most badass looking. I imagine it won't be terribly hard to get a new hangar. Can't wait to see what the new deluxe hangar looks like after work though!
Awesome. Thank you! That unrustles my jimmies significantly. I was really concerned that I'd flat-out be unable to compete with people that have purchased certain ships but also have no method to obtaining those ships without dropping an amount that, personally, is ludicrous.

well it just seems crazy hearing people who spent thousands of dollars who also aren't able to get the Roid hangar, I'm guessing CIG is going to change this very soon from the way the forums are blowing up over the issue.
At this point though it seems CR is surpassing Lord Gaben in taking our virtual space dollars

I just noticed in the Arena Commander 0.9 release announcement that we get an ITTS reticule now! We don't aim directly at the ship and let auto aim do its thing anymore! THANK YOU
Now I'm excited to get home from work and install this baby

Finally, really glad they are dropping that auto-targeting.
Wait, really? Praise Christ.

Yeah, with Class 1 weapons and the increased speed the combat is really getting interesting.
Also a lot of people on the official forums have been exposed now that they can't actually hit shit.

You just cost me $80. Praise jeebus, time to jump in.
So I can no longer disable antialiasing for Star Citizen using the Nvidia Control Panel. The Antialiasing Mode section only shows these options:
Use global setting (Application-controlled)
Application-controlled
Enhance the application setting
There's no "off". Any ideas?
edit: Looks like I have to re-enable the "Show only programs found on this computer" option and then manually add the EXE.

The game doesn't even have any AA currently, so why not just leave it alone?
Looks like the console no longer recognizes my commands to disable chromatic aberration and motion blur.
r_MotionBlur and r_ChromaticAberration aren't found by the parser.
Oh yeah? I don't even think I tried launching it without disabling it in drivers first. My framerate is already pretty shaky at full resolution.

I can imagine the official forums will have concern threads that read like this.

Now this old dirty hangar is a god damn hangar now, it looks significantly better than the old one, looks like a real grungy hangar now. Can't wait to get my Mustang because this Aurora ain't doing so hot in the races.

"Hurry up with the custom control binds so I can use my HOTAS."
You can make custom control binds, you just have to fiddle with xml. I had to do it for my CH HOTAS.

I can't hit shit anymore, My Aurora feels useless. Also control F to lock your cursor doesn't seem to work anymore?
Well, a real space battle would presumably have everything computer-controlled, and real WWII-style targeting would presumably be nearly impossible for ANYONE to hit at high speeds and huge distances.
So, presumably what people want is some mix between these two variants, and the right mix seems like a fair topic of discussion to me.

They remapped the keybindings, you might have to switch between a few of the keyboard presets, I dunno if they have it mapped on any of them, though.

I can't seem to find the binding for control+F because it doesn't work for me either, it's really lame, I have trouble flying with it unlocked.
EDIT: It's CTRL+C now.
I'm not a big fan of the new hangars.
Also is it me or is the mouse behaving really weirdly in first person mode? It sometimes comes back slightly to its original position if I move my head in a direction.
I'm wondering if it's linked to the deficient v-sync of the cryengine. Is there any way to deactivate it?
