End of Support for Old Reddit

0 Upvotes

Hello r/starcitizen users,

The mod team has made the decision to end support for the old Reddit version of our subreddit. We feel that the time has come, given the current levels of use for said version, and that we no longer have the desire to maintain multiple versions. We won't be removing most of the sidebar content, but things such as the rules list and resources will no longer be updated.

For up-to-date rules and resources, please refer to the new Reddit page. Not looking at the rules on said new version will not constitute you not needing to follow them or be aware of them.

Thank you,

- r/starcitizen Mod Team

Edit: It seems my wording wasn't great, sorry about that. By end of support we SOLELY mean that the sidebar won't be updated anymore and things such as rules are being removed and replaced with a short message about checking the new reddit version for them. We have zero ability to turn off old Reddit for our individual subreddit and we assure you all even if we did, we wouldn't.

Im not spending a single dollar in the store until SQ42 is released. I know it doesn't matter (that they couldn't care less) but I’m tired, really tired. Not just of the wait for SQ42, but of all the secrecy surrounding the project.

Since I put my first dollar into this game:

- Finished my degree.

- Finished my master.

- Found a job.

- Gotten married.

- Had a child with the woman of my life.

I’m sorry, but today I made the decision. I’m done.

Not to overdo it but it really was one of the most memorable experiences I've had in gaming. Buddy and I worked together, aligned the dishes, fired the god laser, and reaped the rewards. What a hell of an experience.

As a side note I'm sorry to the Perseus pilot we became entangled with. We had no ill intent but your tag was red and you were in the middle of a bunch of NPCs and got accidentally missile locked.

And to the mysterious Eclipse pilot who gave me the nose nod and chose not to murder me at my most vulnerable, thank you.

I don't mind if people are being negative starcitizen deserves criticism, but the sub is getting clogged up with low effort rage bait posts multiple times a day.

Do we need our daily dose of these posts?

Call to action posts i'm not spending another dollar till cig does X

I'm quitting

I got my friend to play starcitizen but X bug happened and they swore they'd never play again.

I swear this site and this sub are turning into facebook cause of lack of proper moderation.

DISCUSSION Star Citizen Was Always Two Games from Day One: An Online Universe, and a Single-Player Adventure

69 Upvotes

Creating this because I frequently see comments on posts saying, "It was just S42 and the PU was a stretch goal!", or "Nobody backed for S42, it was tacked on later"!

PSA: it was two games from day one. From the very first announcement.

The entire reason Chris dove in to create this game is that he felt he could create one project that combined Wing Commander, Freelancer, and Privateer into a single universe. Not some of them: all them.

Here's the announcement of Star Citizen, at GDC on October 10, 2012. This is the day that the game was opened up on the pledge store on the old RSI website, even before the Kickstarter.

You can see that Chris explains the game is both persistent online universe, and everything that was great about Wing Commander (the single player story adventure) as well.

The original plan was to collect $2-4 million to make a multiplayer Alpha that would attract further investment to build it into something bigger, and to release Squadron 42 as a completed game within 18 months.

For reference, here are the original funding goals:

Star Citizen's Original Funding Goals

So the original plan was that at $2 million minimum, Star Citizen gets made — with both games.

In the Kickstarter (created one week later), this was clearly laid out as well:

"Real quick, Star Citizen is:"

  • A rich universe focused on epic space adventure, trading and dogfighting in first person.
  • Single Player – Offline or Online(Drop in / Drop out co-op play
  • Persistent Universe (hosted by US)

By the time funding $6 million around November 19, 2012, the plan had changed to "all the bells and whistles. This is a key point: the game was never intended to be small. It was "start with an Alpha PU and S42, build the bigger PU with investor help". It became "build the entire post-Alpha PU ourselves" around $20-23 million.

So please, let's stop the claims that this game was one game, with the other tacked on. It's ok to have your preference — but if you've backed, from day one, your money was going to either/both games.

Turns out the black boxes fit perfectly in the co pilot seat of the Mk2 Super Hornet. The box never moved an inch and I was successfully able to get back to Levski and complete the mission. I figured it would move erratically or just fallout due to server desync but I was pleasantly surprised. I’m actually very happy with the game’s performance my past few sessions of playing

CONCERN 4.9 is worse than 4.8 (for me)

54 Upvotes

Made my way through the 4.8 cycle and was still able to have fun and defend the game.

Now in 4.9 with all the “bug fixes” i can’t do the usual hauling I like to do due to no cargo spawning for missions, and trying bunker missions I get sent to Klescher for trespassing and I lose 2 high Q crafted weapons, 3 pieces of high Q crafted armor and just now lost all the mined materials I had to replace armor and weapons when my ironclad assault decided to explode in my hangar of its own accord.

Think it’s time to break until 4.10

DISCUSSION Convoy missions would be cool

12 Upvotes

Imagine running ground support for transports.. roads/highways between dist. centers/cities, etc. They could be scheduled and you could choose if you want to do air support even. or you could drive one of the transport trucks.. npc enemies would try to hiest. You protect the convoy. Maybe players could try to hiest too.. but have at least one npc anti air that would make it substantially hard.. that way the mission is actually feasible and balanced.. if the convoy gets destroyed.. the next convoy thay runs could be slowed down by the reckage unless salvagers have already come..

DISCUSSION What made you start playing SC, and what made you stick around?

8 Upvotes

A friend showed me him doing cargo running and FPS bounty missions, and told me it was kind of a buggy mess but it’s fun when it works.

Tried it and started doing Cargo hauling, then mining, and eventually salvage. And I love the Industrial side of it. Love to play it to relax after work most days.

Eventually made a second account to run on my old gaming PC and now multibox when Mining and Salvaging with the Mole and Reclaimer.

And I don’t really mind the bugs. It’s much better now than when I first started the game.

I m playing at very high settings and played around with the upsacling( native or quality) still no change, tried every setting i found and yet nothing changed it. Even changing te resolution to 2k or 4k there is still this kind if pixelated moving not sharp angles of hologram and text and even on the ship outside, some planets and the clouds just dnt look clean and its very anoying. Anyone got any idea what setting i got to touch to clear it up?

On the images its visible how its not clear and with the aniamaton its even worse while its moving, sometimes i cant even read a text if i m not close enought (markers for example)
