******Official Star Citizen / Squadron 42 Thread******

I still feel the thing they're missing, is a good combat flight system. Everything else follows that. They are working on one but it'll be what, the fourth one they've tried. Most of the systems (fps, crafting etc.) will be fine when they're all in together and server / fps performance improves. If they don't get space flight and combat dialled in, that's game over.

No it wont. the game is way bigger than space combat nowadays.

And all the dodom and glom about the flight moddel is way overhyped. Its not the best currently but its not the worse ever flight system ever in a space game especially a mmo.

Go play starfield or no mans sky or even Elite, there flight combat is much worse IMO and those games are not dead.

I’d be more worried about the cheating tbh. Significant security risks with client side manipulation. Let alone cheating just ruins games period.

We've been banging on about this since day one tbh, CIG have done their usual and ignored it.

Thing is if they do things properly with log analysis server side a lot of these cheaters could be banned retrospectively on expensive accounts. Requires effort though.

That's nuts

Last thing I gave them any money for, was for a future "modding manual. :| I myself have enjoyed working with 3d models in the past. Even offered to work for CIG for free many years ago.
Every year I install the game and log in to play for about 5 minutes (I guess statistically), to check it out.

I sometimes sit down and sketch some 3d model on paper for the fun of it.

Chris also said Crafting and the new Inventory UI/System will be in 4.7.
I think we already know that, these things are currently in Evocati testing and its going well.

Geez so SQ42 ain't coming out this year is it.

But crafting , new ui inventory, instancing missions, Star Wars type global shard event plus 2-3 new planets is coming this year instead

Shame isn't it

He just wants to keep milking.

Just release SQ42 already ffs! 2027 if we are lucky. But probably 2042.

 

[Curlyriff]

Not sure how saying organising release party at min would suggest longer delay?

That's where you are going wrong. You shouldn't be sure of anything when it comes CR and this game.

However we were told SQ42 was coming. These are all Star Citizen, not SQ42.
They marketed them as different games, one leads into the other but sold seperately. So promising SQ42 then delaying again, should not be replaced by some other product getting an update.

Its what I personally care about and couldn't care if Sq42 releases this year.

 

[wolfie138]

well at least they got the right soil types in though.

tbh i thought you was kidding because from what humbug posted, i could not find an indication that it wont come out this year

 

[bigmike20vt]

or even Elite, there flight combat is much worse IMO and those games are not dead.

gotta disagree there. imo the hybrid flight model in elite is what makes it so good.

(that said I. am super hyped for SC now that vr is implemented)

And the opposite for me. I won't have time for SC. I am interested in SQ42

Same, neck beards can't ruin SQ42 for me by trying to compensate for their irl failings.
