Haven't tried that myself. What scene configuration are you using?
Glad to hear this! I don't know for sure if I'm going to buy more ships though. Would like to do so for the developer but it might take away the fun to earn ships in game.

Webcam unticked, Window Capture, Inner Window, haven't done anything with the colour options. It recognises the Star Citizen Launcher, but gives me blackscreen, and doesn't recognise the game client at all.
Not really important since I was only doing it to test my streaming setup, but I can;t get it OBS to let me capture Batman:AO or Mark of the Ninja either

This thread is my main bastion as a SC-community/news source. Other places are too frustrating.
You had the best response to the PS4 outrage; I kinda wanted to copy it to a few different sites that were full of bitching.
I'm tempted by the M50. So tempted. Zooooooommmmmmm~
Self-flagellation aside, I might melt my cute little Gladiator and get a Starfarer instead. Ups the pledge by a meager 25 bucks or so, and well, a Starfarer is in another league entirely. Fits my playstyle quite a bit better, too.
Sigh. Death by a thousand papercuts. I just know I won't be able to withstand the "meager" upgrade cost for the Freelancer upgrades.

Me too, but $90 on console launch month :-/
Guys guys, can you apply the upgrades to game packages or only to single ships? To be more precise, can I buy the Bounty Hunter package and then apply the 325a upgrade to it (60$+15$ compared to the 80$ for the Arbiter package which contains the 325a)?
edit: and of course, keep the LTI.

Yes, I believe so--that's a perk of having access to the original packages. You'd keep the LTI of whatever the package is.
I have a Digital Colonel, and picked up the Super Hornet upgrade. While I miss out on the special pistol from the Weekend Warrior Package, I save 20 bucks.

makes it all the more rewarding to get that pistol in game

wow that quote is very extremist, phrases like " dumbed down for a lesser platform" sounds very antagonistic.
And yet it absolutely happens. All the time, in fact. The code word is usually "streamlined" or something about accessibility.
Would you prefer that he uses a different word to describe it? I don't see why he'd be worried about offending fans of dull, defanged games.
He is totally right imho... I wouldn't like to see a downgraded version of the game on consoles. But in 2015 consoles will be further then they are now so... Maybe on PS6 ? xD
nope your right. its nice to see CR use such passionate rhetoric. that's what makes us believe in him. but its funny, using that kind of language any where else or in any other context would sound scary.
I have no problem with the wording. It's blunt, yes, but it's the truth. Nothing bad about it. Also, I have no problem with a post-release console port.
Now, back to the really important biznach.
Starfarer or Gladiator.
Gladiator is even smaller than the Hornet. You could probably make a cute little dogfighter out of it (putting aside the awesome capship explodification capabilities). ... If you fly on a straight line, that is. Same amount of thrusters, but weighs so much more than the Hornet, gonna be pretty shitty to accelerate and steer. Although, with eight upgrade slots and a nice smattering of weapon slots it ought to be quite a ferocious little beastie.
Starfarer is awesome for ferrying stuff. BIG stuff. And sucking up fuel from gas giants, which is basically free money. Fleets will love you and probably want to protect you. Your meager weapons loadout means they pretty much have to, though. No clue how awesome the Class 7 shields will end up as, though. Maybe you can just sit there and take it. Also: It's farking massive. Thing is the size of a small moon. OK, not quite Idris sized, but ... you know. Idris's are just waaay out there. In all regards.
Decisions, decisions.
I would have had a problem if The Roberts had pulled a bait-and-switch on His backers. Which he did not. So all is well.

my friend and i discussed in great length on our priorities and objectives when its comes to buying ships pre-release.
My personal conclusion is to get a ship that looks sexy first and being useful second. so FORM >>>> FUNCTION.
I'd choose the gladiator over the starfarer, just because i like the look of it more
Wait, I can melt my arbiter package and buy the bounty hunter and upgrade and have $5 left over?
Mandatory Saitek X52 Pro recommendation. See if you can get one, seems to be sold out in a lot of places.

EDIT: Actually, you should wait another month or so. Saitek has teased the new X55, which could be a substantial update on the X52 Pro ... or just something they made to cash in on the SC sales. A new batch of X52 Pros is expected in December as well.
Sure seems like it.
Pretty sure he was addressing people who are worried about CIG pulling a Diablo III here.
Is a bit out of budget but I'll consider it thanks for the info if you have another suggestion thats a bit cheaper let me know
As big of a space-sim and Wing Commander fan as I am, I've come to regard this game as vaporware until I see a live running demo. When I'm shown a guy controlling a pilot, running through a carrier in space, getting on a fighter cockpit, launching, killing shit in space, going back in and docking back on the hangar bays, run to the bridge to see a captain plot a course to a planet, orbit the planet, board a shuttle and land on the commercial plaza, buy and sell stocks and loot... THEN I'll believe Roberts.
Getting all that to work well is VERY hard, specially for a guy who hasn't made a game in 10 years. We'll see.

link?
As I read more and more about it I can't help but think that this is just not possible lol
Why? It's the CryEngine and the game will be out in what, 2 years? He needed 23 mio and in the end he will get 40-50mio. Should be no problem.

Do you have a link for that ?
I just had the impression that you only could look at your spaceships at this moment before new updates come out.
Because this guy is obviously making the whole game by himself and doesn't have a budget of $28 million and three studios as back up?

So come back in 2 years when the game is finished?

Check out the X52 non-Pro version. It's cheaper and a solid enough HOTAS. Or even better - head over the to SC forums and read through the following thread. Ultimate list of fan-recommended joysticks and HOTAS.
Here is the mentioned video:

That was just the tech demo for the original KS campaign, they've improved the engine since then a lot.
Sure, that's your prerogative. Just wanted to to point out that if you were to pledge, today is the best day to do so. They are selling a pledge package with lifetime insurance for 135 bucks to everyone. After today and especially after the 26th, might as well just buy the game on release for 60 bucks with no special ships. Right now, for 40 bucks you can get alpha and beta access.
