It was marked as "not a bug" on the initial IC submission, and while it isn't technically a bug, whoever thought to balance new JPEGs with an RNG should be fired (from an S8 cannon). This fuel consumption is clearly not going to last, but I have a suspicion the troglodyte who closed the thread never bothered to ask his colleagues for clarification.

>>3101177
Patrolling OG JT, larping as some drug enforcement space cop and shooting down anything that got near was such a great gameloop. It was especially nice because you could slap 3 omniskies on an arrow or gladius and absolutely wreck 90% of stuff with an extremely low TTK(other fighters with one or two hits). Also, for those that weren't there, when your ship exploded, you lost all the non-stock components, making each sortie extremely tense and rewarding if you came out on top. I remember getting shot down and surviving one time after stirring the nest and suddenly everyone in the universe was descending on JT and an all out deathmatch broke out in the skies above while I cowered behind a rock watching the clusterfuck above unfold. There were ships crashing and exploding and lasers glinting in the distance with absolutely s-tier sound design making everything sound realistic. It was honestly beautiful lads.

I was looking on the store and seen there's some "career kits" with like medium armors, a tool like a tractor beam or assault rifle as well as a multi-tool with an attachment for around $10 each, but there's no real reason to wear anything below Heavy at this time and all those gear items can just be bought with UEC, right?

>>3102145
Exactly. Don't purchase any of that stuff with $$, just get it in-game.

On that note, is there any reason to buy like regular clothes like t shirts and all within the game, or is that just strictly for roleplay purposes?

I use crf and change the value vs resolution until it fits 4MB, doing it this way instead of size target yields better results

I havent played in years til the past week but ive played a lot and I noticed I never see anyone in anything but big ships

its kinda lame. maybe I just dont notice the smaller ships more. I guess that is definitely possible since theres some background noise thing that is used to calculate if a radar can see you so if a small ship is around lots of big ships it can just not show up on radar

but i only just learned about stealth some recently and that popped into my head

For now roleplay, in the near (soontm) future you will be able to mix armour and clothing for the ultimate MMO endgame: fashion. In the far future, they plan for the clothing you wear to play a role in the locations you visit. Last they went into depth about this topic during their 2024 CitizenCon convention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvzitYTukmQ

>>3101823
There's really been nothing like it since. I think the Sabre with 2 Omnis + 2 Pyroburst was still really good then too. SC PvP really died for me with that meta, at least in terms of dogfighting.

How is it that a guy had my bounty? it was two different play sessions; I logged out at megumi and hopped back on the next day, then the guy was waiting for me after a pit stop at Orb. I didn't think you could pick up player bounties in Pyro, but then again it's been pretty buggy and a lot of Stanton missions appear in the other systems.

There are definitely placeholder stats, which I don't mind at all; it's just the severe lack of clarification on CIG's end. Just saying they left it as is because we are technically flying a "display" ship with placeholder stats until the next patch is more than enough speculation, while at the same time, some take to the IC and we end up here.

Look, I might be overreacting a bit, but we have found ourselves in this situation countless times because no one at CIG bothered to take the time to clarify. Balance discussion will forever be vitriolic; the release (ship) > nerf > backlash cycle isn't exclusive to CIG, not by a long shot, but in the end it all comes down to communication, which will make the ultimate difference.

Not like I have any faith in their ability to make things fair this far into the project. What they did to the Corsair will forever be the most pants-on-head retarded series of events I've ever witnessed in regard to "nerfing"; nothing comes close to that and how much it still baffles me (despite me never having owned one).

>Corsair releases as the (then) strongest forward facing pilot DPS ship, with 4 S5's and 2 S4's
>People obviously use this new and powerful toy to rape PvE bounty missions
>CIG gets upset
>They then unironically give the Corsair a t0 "nerf" by removing 2 of the S5's from the pilot and giving it to the copilot.

Here's the fucking thing: the copilot seat is not and never was designed to double as a manned turret. Not only that, but it's the only seat in the ship that has access to the top rear remote turret. So you either have no copilot and are down 2 S5s and a top turret, or you have a copilot that has to pick between being a button monkey facing forward or using the turret.

Nerfing an overperforming ship in PvP scenarios is one thing, but on the other hand, so what if its OP in PvE? Even if it accounted for 40% of all kills, like John Crewe said here https://youtu.be/c4cb33xM9ts?t=794 there's no economy to ruin; it's not hampering anyone else's ability to grind these low-effort copy-paste missions, and despite that, they genuinely felt that this was some sort of emergency, and the way they went about it still makes me seethe to this day.

Fast forward to now, they did give back the 2 guns they took away from the pilot and swapped them around. Now it's 4 S4s and 2 S5s for the pilot with one caveat...if someone sits in the copilot seat, it highjacks the 2 guns away from the pilot again, rendering the copilot seat a no-go.

>>3102664
If you are at a lawful station (example: the big stations in Nyx or any of the jump gate stations), your crimestat will be "honored" so to speak. What station did you land at?

>>3103072
I was 100% patrolling chawlah/ashland before the latest clusterfuck patches. It was pretty good before they nerfed the c-788's. Whenever they reintroduce some stability I'll fuck around at some hotspots again.

Honestly, I prefer pirate quantum snare ambushes to JT, these days. Boarding is much more exhilarating, though they fucked up the fun loot aspect of it.

>>3103405

I think it has been at some point, you can see the turret ring below the copilot. They just never finished it for some reason.

All of the career kits have items you can literally get at any space station and for dirt cheap. The store ones are traps for total retards who are begging to get scammed.

>>3104614
Quantum snare traps are ambushes setup along routes that players QT through (ex: Seraphim station to Daymar). Quantum snare traps need at least 3 players in separate ships to be moderately effective:
>Mantis to enable QT Snare, pull ships out of QT and turn on the dampener to keep them in SCM mode so your interceptors can hawk them down and start tearing into them
>Interceptor 1: Shield stripping ship
>Interceptor 2: Distortion damage ship to shut down target ship for boarding

Once the ship's shields have been stripped and the distortions have disabled/damaged onboard ship components, the ship will be dead in the water, and players can board the disabled ship and do what you want with it's souls/contents. You can bring a salvage/repair gun and fix ship components on the target ship if you have a cooperative target or want to give them a reacharound by rezzing them and sending them on their way after the encounter.

It really helps to familiarize yourself with the highest bottleneck traffic areas for snare traps. You want to maximize the traffic that you can hit by being in deep interplanetary space close to a place where people will be QT'ing to from different angles. The highest volume one I've ever seen since I last played was the space between levski and the stanton gate. You could sit there and pull ships out of QT every 5-10 min last time I rolled with functional pirate crew. Naturally, if something bigger and badder than your force comes, fuck off and set up elsewhere or lay low till the heat dies.

>>3103405
Not if the co-pilot enters the manned turret. It should give him just the rear top turret and the pilot should still have the 2 s5 and 4 s4. However, it could be all screwed up still like the M2 turret arrangements are. Had three of us in the M2 and nobody could get the rear facing turret working/manned. Gunner kept steal the pilots lower turret 2 s4. It a very expensive AUEC ship to be all fucked up in-game, but they don’t give a shit as it’s not on their priority items list.

>>3110031
There is a couple going on, one in Arena Commander and a much larger scale one in the PU; check the OP for details. For the PU event, I'd recommend asking in global chat to join a mega group and share event missions to progress through it way faster than thinking about solo progression. As for when it ends, it could be as soon as next week or sometime during mid November before their next major sale drops.

>>3110278
Oh, thanks. I thought it ended right on the 27th

>>3110360
They put the 20th as the final date, then removed it, and now we are back to guessing. Each time they run an event like this, it typically ends when the next live patch drops, leaving us to speculate about when that will happen.

theres no way they scrapped that because Chris thought it looked silly. that would be so fucking retarded. what looks silly is ships being able to maneuver as hard as they can WITHOUT having much bigger maneuvering thrusters.

and I remember hearing years ago it was removed because they broke it or it was glitched or something like that. and i heard this like 9 years ago

>>3113014
yeah it was to simplify - and to bring all ships in line with eachother. The thruster rotation is something you'd expect all ships to have but some are just shaped in a way its not possible.

>>3113016
or just bigger manuevering thrusters in general
I dislike how 95% of ships only have noticable main thrusters and the maneuvering ones are these tiny barely noticable things they just slap on randomly

the ships with rotating main thrusters should be crazy maneuverable compared to other ships of their size too which that webm seems to show, i dont remember the cutlass being that agile

>>3122858
Depends on who you believe. Some people say that at the playthrough event there were many times people had to come in and do resets on playthroughs because of crashes or hard locks.
Then there's another camp that says it worked great and there were no issues at all and it's ready to go.
It's really up to you who you want to believe at this point.
Both camps agree that it's heavily a story game with tons of cutscenes (unskippable), walking segments and exposition which is basically the type of game CR has been making for the last 30 years. I wouldn't expect single player space sim with light story elements.

>>3124169
As far as I understand it, the armor change is pretty inconsequential. There are only a few guns in the game that wouldn't penetrate it before but will now, and none of them are common or likely to run into. (Pic is the pre-nerf MkV but you can just compare the numbers.) The S2 mass drivers are really the only ones since the Reign is the Storm's bespoke weapon and the Omni there is a size 6 that nothing can use, and you're not gonna run into them doing PvE, which is all the MkV was really good for anyway.

I think the hydrogen part is a buff if I'm reading it correctly, 68% of the previous capacity but only 22% of the fuel consumption so it should have something like triple the flight time/range.

>Best in Show colour theme for this year is Black, White and Gold
>Liberator will make an appearance. I'm assuming it'll mostly be display and then flyable the following month in December
>The Auxilla and MFC (crafting orientated ground vehicles teased back in 2024) wont be making an appearance at IAE
>The ANVIL Hurricane, ARGO Raft, Banu Defender and RSI Aurora Mk 2 will get free Luminalia (Christmas) Liveries
>November monthly bundle will be an Epoque Geist (with hoodie), C54, and RSI Meteor themed livery

The IAE patch wont be 4.11, so Nyx and its planets are coming either in December or next year.

Has there ever been an IAE without new ground vehicles being sold? We know the Auxilla is completed because they featured it in one of the recent videos and there's a location set out for it at IAE based on prior datamines. Not to mention as of next week you'll no longer be able to gift (new) purchased items, as they have to be designated as a gift at time of purchase and sent to someone who has 30 days to redeem it. Not selling any new LTI token vehicles while also preventing gifting of new warbond items would put a very heavy damper on warbond sales for this IAE as people are just going use store credit instead of fresh cash since it's impossible to trade those new warbond ships.

>>3124700
>>3124721
Why does all the new stuff look so fucking gay? Who is responsible for this?

>>3125111
It's believed they wanted those 2 ground vehicles to come with 4.11, which will miss the IAE date in favor of 4.10.4. Dataminers are saying that the space for the Auxilia was replaced with the Centurion, and the MFC might actually be there but isn't in the files. As for LTI tokens, they are selling the Skylark as a standalone snub, so IAE won't be without an LTI token if they don't sell either or both vehicles.

>>3125150
>It's believed they wanted those 2 ground vehicles to come with 4.11, which will miss the IAE date in favor of 4.10.4
makes sense but CIG passing up on money during their biggest event of the year just seems too crazy for me, I'd expect them to disable the crafter and say they're enabling it next patch and just selling the vehicles during IAE rather than simply delaying two ground vehicles to release after the IAE since tons of players come flooding back for IAE and then disappear after the event ends. Especially since it's looking like 4.11 will drop around christmas where everyone is fucking broke.

disable the turret guns or swap them to ballistics, it's running 8x S3 and 4x S5 energy weapons of course the capacitors are going to fucking suck. If you swap the turret weapons to deadbolts you go from 221 on the Galdereen's to 540. M7A's go from 58 total ammo to 107.

There's 21 concept ships left. Next year a safe estimate is that they're going to knock out at least 2, potentially 5 if base building actually makes it in next year with an additional 3 being pushed into active development, so lets say 8 in total over 15 months. Remove the three motorcycles and you have 10 ships left. Excluding the VIP transport ships and complex freak Endeavor which are post 1.0 and you have 7 ships remaining. So we're looking at about 2.5-3 years for the BMM.

check the latest leak, the BMM may be coming IAE 2027

btw have I missed any leaked or announced ships?

>>3126238
by that I mean announced but not put up for sale*

>>3126238
absolutely not making it 2027, you're talking about a ship that occupies some 50% more space than the Kraken while also having not just the alien tax but the completely uncharted alien tax with no existing assets or design language to speed up development. BMM is at minimum a two year project, realistically it's a 3-3.5 year project. 2027 ship is either going to be the Arrastra, Pioneer, or the Javelin.

>>3126270
I can see that being very appealing to artists because they can unleash their creativity instead of having to adhere to existing style guides, guess we'll see.

last I recall the Pioneer is a "some time after base building is out" ship, and the Arrastra along with Refining gameplay is long overdue.
as for the Jav, I can scarcely find gameplay for my Idris, the hell are Javelin's gonna be good for in the current PU lol.

The guy who designed the original armors including morozov and the ORC sets, left the company 5 years ago. So you'll probably end up with slop like this.

If I'm being completely honest this has more chance of being good with a retexture than the old shit
The actual old old outfits, as in hangar old, had some potential but the game immediately dove into endless panel lines and random noise on armour despite clearly wanting to go for plugsuits

I got this from the event, it's physically the most massive outfit I've seen and it's just fun to run around in. Only downside is when you put the suit on, your body transforms into some sort of gelatinous invertebrate form and your G resistance is -100%, so you red out / black out just by kinda pitching your ship a little.

Besides, what am I going to do with all the extra ORC arms anyway? I don't feel like taking the effort or the risk of selling them. Better they go someone who appreciates XT armor rather than trying to resell for a higher price.

>>3130124
Sent.

>>3133036
>is the connie mk5 worth it over the centaurus??
I'm assuming you meant the Andromeda. Look, the Mk5 is almost a different beast on its own. I'd say it alone is a great ship, but if you are enjoying the Mk4 as it is, then there is no reason to swap over. If you plan to run with a crew, then I will say the Mk5 is a bigger competitor.

>do people really hate nursa?
Not sure where that's coming from, but the Nursa is almost a must on any ship that can hold one and doesn't have a medbed on its own. Where I think the animosity comes from you may have seen online is that it is so good that when some ships release and have space for a vehicle, but the entrance is designed to fuck over rover sized vehicles, then the Nursa gets blamed for that decision.

>>3133036
Centaurus is worse. Especially now it's armor is getting nerfed as anyone who knew anything said it would be. It's now about the same armor as a starlancer tac. Which is fine. But it's not invulnerable anymore. Coupled with having some total ass turn rates, mediocre firepower and a difficult to deal with cargo lift, it's not worth it over the original at all. Unless aesthetics is all you care about. But then you wouldn't be here asking if something is worth it.

>>3133036
MK5 better with a small crew, you have pilot 4x S5 and two turrets each packing 4x S3 which is actual tangible firepower. If you're going to be running solo you want the MK4's due to the extra agility and speed and identical pilot weapons.

>>3133546
>>3133546
I cope that they rebalance corsair to turn faster since its powercrept by rsi. It could make it what its supposed to be, pvp ship.

>>3133855

that works, needs to be better than two people in M80s basically

>>3134021

I'd sooner leave both of those things alone and buff the shit out of the armor instead.

>>3133544
>But it's not invulnerable anymore
It's effectively exactly the same as it was before. There are almost no guns in the game between about 250 and 550 penetration, the only things that didn't penetrate before but will now are a couple of S2 mass drivers you're unlikely to encounter and an S6 laser cannon you can't use.

>>3126300
Post fleets though whats everybody got?
Used to be an absolute staple of the thread.
Stuff attributed to to your account for this exercise, not stuff in acquired in game.

>>3134495
NTA but it's not going to remain with as much armor as a military assault ship like the startac. I'd expect that to get smaller and smaller. Especially with the weapon and shield changes they're testing in evo.

>>3134566
They havent even sold the centaurus yet - so YES its 100% going to get nerfed. Probably pretty fast too since invictus might be selling competitors.

>>3134758
I think they will wait until after the Taurus and Aquilla variants are out. My expectations are it will settle around 250 armor which is still pretty good.

>>3134758
>They havent even sold the centaurus yet
Yes they have, it's been buyable for like 2 weeks now.

>>3134761
are the other variant even worth it? like it's basically just t3 bed what even is the other one for?

>>3138678
Taurus is the cargo hauler variant of the original connie. People suspect the bottom turret will turn into a tractor beam which is a much better option for it. It will also have a large cargo hold. Either it will extend up one level, or another theory is it will remove the snub and extend backwards into the snub hanger section. This would let it carry all current ground vehicles which the centaurus currently can't and push it's cargo cap signficantly higher. This would probably be my variant choice if I was ever to get a mkV since this one feels like a far better version than the centaurus.
The aquilla is apparently the exploration variant. There's far less information on this though.
These are the two currently datamined. CIG says there may be more variants in future though.

>>3138738
i think they will just open up that big north wall for cargo. they will move the component to side walls by skylark hallways.

>>3138757
Possibly. There's literally nothing in the snub room though and the snub is useless. Personally I suspect they will go into the rear more than the front. Less work. And I'd prefer they did. The front engineering has some use. The hanger and rear don't really.

>>3138757
There's also the fact the mk4 taurus also loses the snub so it would make sense for the mk5 version.

>>3138763
>>3138767
i guess but that front wall on cargo area looks like too plane, either they remove that cross cat walk to give more cargo, or cargo variant has much secure cargo room that what behind that wall will be.

>>3138771
I don't think so. You have a ton of components behind there, missile loading, engineering terminal and the missiles themselves.
It would be retarded to open that up for a tiny amount of SCU for the dedicated cargo run variant rather than open up the snub area for possibly double the amount of cargo. Especially since there is nothing above the snub area and the living area above the engineering section.
>secure cargo
Not sure what this is meant to mean. I don't think any ship gets a secure cargo area, even the MSC.

>>3138776
i though the tarus has that secure storage thing just like the ironclad has, it suppose to be for smuggling or something.

Oh yeah you're right. I've had this thing for years and never used it. It's 6 scu at the back which is completely negligible which is probably why. Have to see what they do with the new one. I doubt they'll move all those components though.

>>3138796
Its actually super nice to have extra grids like this. You can have stuff like 1scu container to exchange gear, have ammo etc.

Back when the game actually worked in 3.22 I had one such crate in my Reclaimer to outfit any cargo slaves with maxlift, gun, ammo, drinks and armor.

from console:

that will do it most of the time, might have to switch = 0 for some scenarios and then back to = 1 again.

it's a work around for now.

what happens is the terminal snaps focus away on mouse movement. happens in other "USE F" instances as well. the above command goes into console and works OTF without relogging or reloading. tested as of 31 OCT 2026.
