Star Citizen Pre-Alpha: Hangar Module
- Thread starter MrBig
- Start date
Can't remember all the names, but I believe there are four Idris owners on GAF.
That one caught me by surprise. Got a good chuckle out of it.
One of the extraordinarily rare instances where streamlining actually made it a better game.
Twenty eight million crowd funded dollars.
Welcome back, space!
yup, and in the end, the LTI we are getting is for basic coverage (called hull insurance) if you really want to protect your ship, people with LTI will be buying upgrade and cargo insurance to replace it anyways. but LTI SOUNDS sexy if anything.
The 28 Mio. $ Update:

The Origin 890 sounds pretty exciting:
Origin 890 JUMP – The rumors are true: Origin Jumpworks has a larger ship in the works!
The Origin 890 JUMP is an interstellar super-yacht with exquisite styling and an array of high quality upgrade options.
Travel the stars in style with multiple decks, high visibility windows and a small boat bay.
Whether you’re outfitting it to explore new worlds or to take a pleasure cruise through Terra, the 890 JUMP is the epitome of luxury, class and refinement!

The ultimate goal for me in SC.
Hmmm. What's the difference in price, again? I'd say get the 350R only if you're (or think you might be) into racing. Otherwise, keep the 325A. I'm sure you could use the 350R for a number of jobs, but I kinda like the idea of having highly specalized ships.
I will, if you can tell five ideas on how to make mining interesting.
300 series is the most stylish ship and we get a bigger version? With more luxury and badass?
I dont even know hit it looks like and i already want it. Would trade in my freelancer for it, probably. :/
I'm not all that interested in racing but I like the idea of playing an interceptor role. Chasing down fleeing ships or outrunning heavy enemies is something I had fun with in EvE. The 325A seems like a dog-fighter type deal which I also like the sound of especially with that weapons loadout. The difference in cost is an extra $30 for the 350R.
Decisions decisions.
I guess the price will probably be something like Constellation territory, both in-game and as a pledge.
Omg, lol. Was more thinking of this though:

Fuck it then ill melt both my freelancer and 325a.
Yes!
For the exact application I would go 350R. I've been debating trading in my M50 for a 350R, but I'm leaning towards sticking with an M50 for now. M50 is faster stock, but not as fast when 350R goes after-market. The 350R had more upgrades available and some stealth capability. A speedy stealth boat would make for a great interceptor.
Then again M50 and 350R both have very little in the way of firepower. They're probably less interceptor and more reconnaissance.
Also Lightspeed package comes with a racing suit. So there's that.
Week long sales to commemorate Star Citizen's first birthday.

I voted mining since we haven't had anything dedicated to that yet.
...probably mostly due to nostalgia from bullshitting on voice chats while we sat around doing "exciting" mining ops in EVE. (That game was really just a glorified chatroom that stole my money.)

No matter how many votes mining always at 30%, i wonder if the counters are updating.
Yeah I know but this is insanely fast.
Mining. I've got the Starfarer already so I imagine I would be able to slap a mining module in there.
With the fact that information runner's on there, I'm guessing that they have something like that planned already which will work well with my 350r. (that one got a mention as a high speed stealth vessel for covert stuff a while ago)

This $135 350R is sitting in my cart right now
Or not. No pressure.
I know dat feel.
I'm liking the new stretch goal format, commemorating the achievement and involving the community in future developments rather than parading one specific thing as the object of each million. It was appropriate during the initial funding, but now that the game is paid for they're just doing whatever needs to be done with the money. That last stretch goal with the changed beginning really bothered me because of that, felt like it was just empty filler.
Well hell, I might have to do that and put $5 towards something. Already have 4 ships though, only one I would melt would be my LX, and that's only a few bucks too.
Edit: Bounty Hunter shows as $65 for me, no advantage.
Sorry dude, didn't think that it might be more expensive for non-original backers. Good to know though.Well hell, I might have to do that and put $5 towards something. Already have 4 ships though, only one I would melt would be my LX, and that's only a few bucks too.

Yo what? You can overclock ship systems to get better performance?
Yes! Or more specifically, we can overclock modules equipped to the ship such as weapons, thrusters, etc. This is done at a workbench in the hangar (purchased through Voyager Direct now or in game later). Every individual module has different overclock potential, and overclocking will cause it to consume more power and produce more heat.
There was also mention of overclocking on the fly in one of the stories, then again that was an AI doing it so we mere mortals may only be able to overclock in the hangar.

As I read more about this game I get more excited and worried at the same time lol. Like, who is working on the FPS segments of the game? It has to be good for it to be worth it. I also just found out about zero-g combat.
Side note, the death mechanic sounds pretty sick

Behavior Interactive founded a new studio up in Canada to work on content for planetside/FPS stuff, along with Void Alpha in california. Both teams are being directed by CIG of course, and the technical FPS mechanics are mostly already built in to the engine from crysis 3
Behaviour's track record is not the best though. I'm a bit worried as to why they chose a company with zero experience on FPS. They are probably cheap, but then again, wasn't this going to be the BESTSPACESIMEVERRRR. They don't need to hire the biggest FPS studio, but something better than Doritos Crash Course 2 and Happy Feet would be nice.
As I understand it they set up a new studio with new artists just for SC, and that CIG is in full control of design, essentially just making BI an art content production house in this context, which I'm not worried about as I'm quite sure they can keep the quality in line with the rest of the game. BI's past projects have apparently just been them doing whatever content production that can for money, but they kept getting handed terrible shit which lead to them continuing to be handed more terrible shit. Them doing a good job on SC could really be good for their future.

They don't need to have FPS experience, all the FPS mechanics come directly from CryEngine itself. What CIG is using these studios for is stuff such as environment design (specifically, planet-side environments), weapon design, etc. Considering there'll be around 100 systems and 400 landing spots in total across those systems... That's a lot of work to be done, more than they could do "in-house". The implementation of new mechanics into the engine itself is all being done in Austin, but little new should even need to be done for the FPS stuff due to the CryEngine pedigree.

Well..... shit
Where would you get that idea? I'm an original backer.Wait, Durante visits this thread? I thought he was obvilious to space sims
I'm still extremely doubtful as to their ability to deliver everything they promise, but even if they just manage half of it it would be a huge success.
If you haven't already TODAY is the BEST day to get into Star Citizen.
For 45 bucks you get multiplayer only(the persistent universe), alpha and beta access, and the starter ship with Lifetime warranty.
but wait there is more! For 10 bucks more, 55 bucks, you get single player (squadron 42), and multiplayer (the persistent universe), alpha and beta access, and the starter ship with Lifetime warranty.

It would be a better deal to just get the $40 aurora w/ the full game (PU and SQ42) package sans LTI...
e: unless they're raising the prices after this sale, but I didn't read anything about that.
