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

[Digital X]

Taking an awful long time to load into the Universe option..

 

[Mr.Cookie]

I'm usually waking up in my bunk within 30-45 seconds, game drive is an sshd, graphic settings all low at 1080p.

 

[Digital X]

Went through the bays, perfomance is abyssmal.. Even on 1080p at medium it's sub 30fps and my computer is sluggish all over when open.

MSI AB didn't screenshot the performance but from what I remember at 1440p Medium it was around 70% usage on GPU at 22-24fps.. Changing res down had no effect on fps at all.

Over on r/starcitizen it's apparently server sided and "CIG" ? whatever that is.

Nothing to do with your rig, My FPS spike up and down between 25 and 60 FPS, i think its server side, everyone has the same problem.

As in, desktop use, internet and typing is literally slowed down for some reason. I'll come back to this at a later time.

 

[humbug]

Its Alpha

 

[Digital X]

I know it's Alpha. I visit the reddit daily it's plastered at the top. Some Alpha games run a lot better, just saying I'm not happy and will return when it's in a better state.

 

[MrKeeno]

I got as low as 12fps in some places but I don't care, this game has so much potential. If they manage to pull this off it will be epic

 

[theaterix]

So is it worth buying now or when fully released? Will the price be going up basically?

No idea, as far as i can work out it will be a one time charge once released, like anyother game.

You can get in now for £35 https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Packages/Aurora-MR-AC-Starter

There isn't a lot to it, a couple of maps, there is stuff to shoot at, very unstable.

Personally i think if £35 is not a lot of money to you its worth it.

 

[new boy]

The single player and multilayer parts will be split off and sold separately at some point. So it would cost a fair bit more at that point

 

[Raumarik]

You can already pledge for Squadron 42 (single player) on it's own, no idea why you would though lol.

Honestly I've put in 300 hours + into the game (or tech demo as some call it) over the past couple of years, been to Citcon UK and made tons of mates through mine and other orgs. Seriously more involved you get the more fun you'll squeeze out of it like most games.

 

[spulse]

if I buy one of the starter packages for £35 does that give me access to the new alpha?

Yeah its gone live to everyone now

 

[eggcup]

What key is it to get to super cruise or what ever its called? lol (not quantum travel)

Throttle up and V, if you throttle down it switches to precision mode

 

[Ceryndrion]

I've decided, the gun mount under the nose of my super hornet looks kinda dumb.. and I wish they'd get my little carrack ready for the hanger. I want to nose around inside it..

Not too enthused by the PTU currently, seems to be far too many people blocking each other from going anywhere.. there is a reason that many other MMO style games don't have player collision turned on..

Oh well, looking prettier every cycle, so that's good at least.

 

[pete910]

V when accelerating will move you up a mode I think, press it when stopped to go down one.. not got it installed at the moment so hard to check lol

I've just using Pete's screenshots he posted earlier:

I knew it want just me that was completely lost with all the keys

 

[anything I don't mind]

Do you think this is playable if you have no flying experience? It is a shame because I always sucked at flying games for some reason but I always liked the idea of these sorts of space games. With the FPS element as well, it sounds very interesting. Is the flying part easy compared to say bf4?

this is going to sound odd, i think its easier but harder to master, been using a mouse for the last few days and found it straightforward as more fps like than a normal flight sim as you have zero to little gravity and six degrees of freedom.
