need a bit advise gaf, i'm thinking about melting my M50 for an Xi’An Karthu-Al, but i'm really unsure and wondered what you peeps think i should do.?

Other than the fact that the Karthu-Al might be decent for racing, and M50 might be decent for something other than racing... kind of an apples to oranges comparison. One's a solo ship, the other a two seater. One's predominantly a racer, the other a light fighter. One is hanger ready and flyable, the other is neither. It really depends what you're trying to do in the game and what bases you already have covered.

I'm assuming you don't have a 350R, or this wouldn't be a hard decision (scrap the M50). Basically it comes down to how much racing matters to you. If it's very important, then you're probably better off keeping the M50. If only due to the shape being more likely to go through the rings without knocking chunks of the ship off. That and the dual power plants might come in handy.

If, on the other hand, racing isn't a huge focus for you, then the Karthu-Al is likely the better choice. Co-pilot capable, radically different engine layout, more powerful shields, and likely a more potent armament. That and it just looks damn cool. I mean the M50 looks nice, but the Karthu-Al's organic shape and transformative nature are on a different level IMO.

My advice: scrap the M50 for the Karthu-Al and get the $30 325A to M50 CCU upgrade if you're feeling the need to keep the M50 option open. Can always scrap the Karthu-Al later if you don't like it and apply the funds to get the 325A and then apply the CCU to get the M50 back. If you end up not missing the M50, then you can scrap the CCU for something else.

Is there any way to melt one ship in a package while keeping the rest of the package? For example I only have one package which contains alpha, but it has an M50 which I want to change.

 

[Daedardus]

Damn, this all looks so good. Maybe we'll get the game in 2018 after all?

I'm fairly certain that packages are an all or nothing affair. After all, the package came as a set value that gets refunded back to you. Pulling one part of a package out for credit would create quite the mess of setting values for every individual part. Best you could do if you didn't want to lose the package contents would be applying a CCU to the ship, but that would only let you have either the Hornet or the Cutlass.

Indie only in the sense that they're independent. They've got a lot of people working on the game, and have a budget that is more than most AAA games. There's no technical reason to expect any less from them than there is from big publisher backed devs working on AAA games. Rather, their freedom from publishers while still having a boat load of money to invest into the game is a reason to expect more from them.

 

[Zabojnik]

Watched all three panels. The amount of stuff happening and systems being put into place is pretty fucking staggering. It kinda makes me feel like an asshole for saying that I only really care about the single player side of SC, loool.

2015 should be an absolutely amazing year for the development of this beautiful thing.

I'm guessing they won't force it on anyone and at least make it optional. While I think we need better hair in games, I'm not ready to sacrifice that much performance for it yet.

I can't wait to see what the die shrink to 16nm has in store for us in regards to GPUs. My 590 is quite pathetic compared to today's cards, but I refuse to upgrade until we get the real next gen cards. 970/80 be damned.

yeah, i guess. thing is though the only reason i was able to build the rig i got now was with money i got from an inheritance.
when the game comes out, i won't have any money to buy the new god-tier card that is out at the time.

Sell titan, buy gtx 970, in 1.5 year buy Pascal card and sell gtx 970.

Don't buy god-tier cards is the simple way around that. The relative power to cost ratio is anything but linear. By the time the game comes out, a midrange card will very likely demolish the Titan anyhow.

In recent 10 for the chairman Chris said he is scared, because he is no longer making one AAA game, but around 5-6 of them at once and i agree with him But damn, thats how it was in the past, like Daggerfall was the biggest game ever and people were complaining that it was taking 2.5 year to make xD

I took a good look at the Carrack. If I was just finding out about the game now, that's what I would have gone with. Such a cool cockpit design.

I have a Constellation Phoenix LTI package though, so that's pretty much locked in for all the collector's edition style goodies. Seems like it's about as good as it'll get for me for the price. I'll work up to other ships from there. Seems like people have pretty high expectations for it as a combat ship too.
