While not every single ship may come with a Jump Engine they will all be able to equip one. The only exception is the parasite fighters like the P52 Merlin. So I wouldn't get too hung up over something like that. People massively underestimate the size of star systems in this game. A lot...

Just get this for $45: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/p...pha-AC-Starter It includes Arena Commander and SQ42. That's all you really need. Since it's a base starter package you can actually switch between this and an Aurora for free whenever the hell you want using these...

I got 150 for each of mine when I got rid of them through a middleman. Up to you what you sell it for but there is always risk involved.

I'm waiting for a while as well before I put money into input devices but I'm more a MFG Crosswind + Black Mamba person. Still I want to see what they plan to do with the official SC HOTAS. The poll they had on it said people want what I just described but not willing to pay more than $150 for...

I stick to the Subscriber section and the Concierge section. Especially the Concierge section. A lot less numbfuckery there. The only other place worth visiting is the Developer Questions section where I and many others will post ideas for the devs to look at. Loots of good stuff there when...

Well that's a given considering that was the plan from the get go over 2 years ago. I don't think the disappointment will come from content since they do a module release and iterate on it constantly until it's polished. AC hasn't really gone to shit until recently when they suddenly had a...

This is why I'm cautious but not panicky. It's a good sanity check even if it's false information. It's also why I don't troll the General forums anymore... it's choke full of bullshit but it's like that in most general forums for most games. The fans are rabid for sure.

Yeah to be honest that's the only thing that truly has me worried. That is never a good thing and it further convinced me to disinvest from the game. I'm no longer 10k in. I have under 4k in ships now. Made a tidy profit on the most part and paid for my new computer so I'm glad I did it. I...

I doubt their daily take from the community is enough to fund the amount of money they are spending right now. If I had to guess I would say at least half of what we put in is spent and the other half will be gone by this time next year. If they can get the first ep of SQ42 out and into public...

You are not alone but make a suggestion in the forums regardless. Not sure if it's by design or if it's just not quite there yet with the UI. As for the speed of combat expect it to drop off a bit once armor and further balancing is implemented with shield and the basic ship. SC combat was...

On definitely. For the average player all they should get is a basic starter package. That should be enough to get them going and see if they like it. With enough skill you can best anyone regardless of what ship they are flying even in a starter. You do need some decent weapons on it of...

Or save yourself some money and wait. The Reliant is coming out sometime soon. It's a starter ship and it will have LTI as it will have its own concept sale. Typically a starter ship at concept is around 25 dollars and with a starter package it's maybe another $10-15 at most which should get...

We can probably call it an official Alpha once the game is feature complete. That is all major features are in and working in some way/shape/form. That is unlikely to occur in 2015 unless they get the Idris in as capital ship control/combat/boarding is one of the major features of the game...

Yeah all of the relatively minor stuff, like ships, was stopped at that point as it was getting ridiculous even for Chris. He could no longer put time aside for those items for the release or even early post release. There are a number of items that he has previously said were great ideas and...

If you look a the stretch goal part of the site you can see for yourself when they stopped. Nothing major gameplay wise was added since 29mil. Found here:https://robertsspaceindustries.com/funding-goals

I'm not sure if that's the trailer or another one that was put out which was missleading but a lot of ED players were up in arms over one of those a while back. I don't follow ED and don't play it so I don't really know but you could have tried to find any other game without any controversy...

What do you want? This is what open development looks like. Yeah it's not for everyone. Neither is buying a game on a fucking trailer and a dozen screenshots that aren't even in the final game. Watchdogs comes to mind and so so many others. It's going to be like this for the next two...

Went from a 140GB SSD to a 1TB SSD on my new PC. I think the cost was roughly the same... about 4 years apart. Based on the comments from the dev above, Chris and Travis Day (Producer) it seems like they are thinking the local hardware will be one of the biggest bottlenecks and not the...

That's called shit gameplay. No amount of money or time will fix that shit once released. The only exception to that rule is FFXIV but how many game studios do you know that threw their hands up, pulled the plug on their game and came back a year+ later having actually fixed their shit...

There is an interview where they discussed this with the producers. It's a huge challenge trying to come up with compelling locales. If you look at real life for an example a locale is made special by its surroundings. Sometimes you see a picture and you know instantly where that is in the...

If the gaming experience is FUBAR your game is fucked doesn't matter how pretty the models are. So far all we have for SC is AC which is always only ever going to be a snippet of the PU. I would be more inclined to judge first hand experience with the game once the first PU planets are fully...

Sometimes it may be preferred if you fuck up badly or want a career change and don't want to run multiple characters. The downside of death besides the insurance on ship, installed mods, cargo and loss of personal gear that is uninsurable is reputation. It will not reset but it will be a...

I'm not seeing that. If that was the case why are they re-doing the early ships like the Avenger, Cutlass and Constellation? They are going through the 3rd major revision now just like the Hornet did. If they care so little why would they spend an ungodly amount of time and effort to re-tool...

The reason behind keeping Arena Commander instead of not having it? Lots of reasons. You can use it for testing weapons and various builds of equipment and ships. Same for FPS once there is enough equipment there to mix and match things. You can do all that without ever risking your life or...

REC is for Arena Commander that will include the FPS module along with every other type of simulation inside the Persistent Universe game. Any ship you own will of course be unlocked in it. Same for any weapons etc. Anything you don't own you can play and earn REC to unlock for a time and try...

The Orion is a top tier mining ship. Not only that but a top tier mining ship from the second most expensive civilian ship manufacturer; RSI (Roberts Space Industries), the first being ORIGIN. The irony isn't lost on me. So to answer your question the concept right now before REC is p2w...

Yes and No. They don't want to force you to go through it if you just want to log in and go do stuff with your org. The game starts with character creation. Chris has stuck to his original idea to this day so I assume that's what he is going to do. Basically you start in a shower and you...

Everything will be obtainable in game with in game currency you earn by playing. You only really need a game package that happens to come with a basic ship. They are trying to make their site a little better to explain this. It still sucks. You don't necessarily even need that. You can wait...

Yeah they just showed a tiny bit of the new animations and I was like wtf? It just looks like they took video capture of a person and put it into the game. Which is of course a major compliment. That is not fucking easy to pull off. Another game that did that well is the latest MGS. I'm...

I'm hopeful but TBD. I love good FPS games and I can tell the difference between a shit one and a good one within five minutes of playing around with the game and feeling out the controls, environment etc. So while this is certainly a major concern of mine as well we do have input and we can...

I think it's worth noting that SQ42 is not necessarily mostly space with some limited non-space content. It's probably more like 60/40 for ship and out of ship content if I remember Chris' comment about the split. It's hard to explain because unlike in most games where you have a gameplay...

Interestingly CIG has a huge problem with their Austin office. What would happen is they hire a top shelf physics programmer (if anyone here recalls they are converting part of CryEngine to 64bit) and EA's head hunters would swoop in and poach them. It's still a common occurrence and it...

Are you bored or is there another reason why you felt the need to thread crap?

Clearly you are only absorbing from what I write what you want to read and discard the rest. I can't help you with that.

The first argument was taking exception to me or anyone else calling it a game. I knock that peg down so now the issue is marketing and someone got very vindictive there but I don't care. Look I'm not going to argue pointlessly about it. For one on the balance of things I actually agree...

I see. So your problem is their development model. You don't like that they are making polished modules that are essentially early alpha pieces. Because that's what they are. An early alpha piece of a game. If you want to do the mental gymnastics to not call it a game that's your show. To...

So games that are released are now "defined games" as opposed to all other games being tech demos. So you think E: D was a tech demo and hopium funded by people who pay money for a game they can't use/see until released?

Why are you trying to redefine the term "game". I think most of us understand what that term means. Calling it a tech demonstration is like calling any very early Friends and Family Alpha testing of a game that occurs years before release a tech demonstration and concept. I have been through...

You know I don't get the spiteful hate from people. E: D isn't the same game. The two are quite different. That said E: D is apparently a fun game for many and it's great to see more space games. But the two are not comparable.
