More about not Spoilering the story of Squadron 42 in the longterm ofc also for the multiplayer Star Citizen, or it won't be fun for players to discover stuff anymore.

The lawsuit looks atm way more in favor for CIG (source: actual lawyers), but only time will tell

Its been interesting to follow the case, i have been reading the papers that have been documented from the courts and the lawyers and its interesting to read, be interesting to see how it goes. I hope it does continue in the favor for CIG.

If anyone is interested in reading as it unfolds Case Notes

The FOIP stuff that is coming looks awesome, just curious if it will work with us VR users.

Only if you can shove a webcam into your VR
VR is not in yet aswell, they said its pretty low priority atm

 

[Darksi]

yes indeed it is not implemented in the core game, but it does work very well with vorpx.

I could hope the foip could pick up mouth movements at least.

As soon as 3.3 is in PTU for everyone (atm only Evocati, Concierge (more than 1000 $), Subscribers and Wave 1 (people who contribute a lot)) and I get my DroidCam working, I will test that for you

P.s. Just fixed my DroidCam issue (app needs to stay open) just waiting for PTU 3.3 now

 

[Darksi]

is there an expected release date for PTU 3.3

is there an expected release date for PTU 3.3

I guess next week ... usually its like that after Wave 1 / Concierge / Subs get access. LIVE 3.3 mostly after 95% of the bugs get ironed out.
Perhaps this time they might wait for LIVE until 3.3.1 / 3.3.5 (not sure how they will call it now) is released with 1st planet (Hurston) and its 4 moons included. Atm they need to fix Bind Culling first.
But I can only tell you Hurston, especially the city Lorville, will be great.

From this week's email of truth:



Sensitive details such as 'WE HAVE NO GAME, ARGH!'

Short memory? Let me cast your mind back to this...

I thought I made it quite clear that my problem was the TONE of your post, not the POINT of your post. If you have a problem with the game, feel free to state that you are unhappy but do so without labelling other people "rabid fanboys" or "suffering from Stockholm Syndrome" or accusing the developers of "lies" in their e-mails. That type of thing is really not helpful if somebody wants a balanced viewpoint. If you want an example, read my thoughts on ACC. I have little positive to say about it but the difference in language between my post and yours is considerable.

I am not going to censor opinions here, whichever side they fall on. I hope I don't have to resort to censoring the way those opinions are expressed.


And with no further ado, back to discussion about what's good AND bad about Star Citizen

No more please!

My memory is fine, thanks.

I haven't had a pop at anyone there. I don't see what's wrong with poking a bit of fun at this 'game'. I can't believe that anyone would have such thin skin they'd be upset by that.

 

[Blue Monkey]

At this very moment, PTU 3.3, it can not

FOIP is even better than I thought, it has included headtracking for seats (can be disabled), how awesome is that
Facial animations / sync is a tad buggy sometimes, but for a first implementation it is already pretty awesome!!!

Have you actually played alpha 3.2? and the mulitplayer fps thing?
Is it so hard to believe the Squadron 42 will be here in 2019?

Let's stick to discussing the game please

Demomission for 3.3.1 (this month or next is release), can be found here:
Yes it crashed once and AI seems to WIP

I was on last night testing flight controls and, the basic gameplay seems to be coming on really well, when i first tested it was quite stuttery, but now much smoother and the flight systems are good.

I was also on last night. Was a bit upset when I tried to land on a planet and a wild AI pirate appeared to shoot my Aurora to pieces...waste of time...I just wanted to watch at the scenery... *Insert sad face*

Just beware, the flight model will change in 3.4, especially but not limited to atmospheric flight.
So atm don't learn to properly fly with this system ... wait until the new one is in :/

Yeay woke up and PTU 3.3.5 was opened up for Wave 1-4, here a pic of it

I'm really curious about the free fly days the upcoming week, how did the framerates change for you?

Okay since the introduction of OCS (Object Container Streaming) they are generally a lot better (you often get 40-60, sometimes up to 120).
There are still moments though where they are low, especially when being in a complex area where you can look out (ie. Levski with its physical elevator, Lorville everywhere you can look out).

VOIP and FOIP are working, except when you have "hats" (like in that pic) on it's really cool

From 23rd to 30th November, Star Citizen is free to play (or rather try out)
Every day some different ships will be available for everyone to try out

200 million dollars the project crowdfunded sofar, amazing

 

[Blue Monkey]

So much potential for the future
