Agree with pretty much everything you wrote about the 325A, some people seem to be asking for it to have a higher internal space, only problem I see with that is it makes it a bigger target, but it's probably possible without a huge change.

If they tweaked it a bit I'd probably upgrade my Aurora LN to a 325A (or 315) but I have a feeling it'll only be cosmetic changes rather than flight model/armour buffs when we get hold of the new one.
 
Yeah I think the height of it is fine. ^^^^^ it would spoil its fine lines if it was taller.

Also considering jumping in with a basic Aurora package. But I can't decide between the Aurora MR and the Aurora LN. Older reviews I've read seem to suggest the LN is the better of the two, is this still the case?

Since I'm not sure what role I'll want to play, I'm looking for an all-rounder to get started with, something that can handle a bit of combat but also carry some cargo.

The LN is a great ship, a real gem at sub £30, i'm still pining for mine after upgrading it.
 
I had scheduled this to go up next week but seeing as people keep asking about it..

The combat demo (starts at about 1:48) is just an uncut clip of me playing in wave 17, I'm using the stock loadout - I have difficulty getting to that wave in some much more powerful ships when flying solo (which I was here). I did lose in Wave 18 but only due to me flying into a sodding asteroid :p

Impressive.

I see it also refuses to sit still on the Olisar pad. :D
 
Breeze it depends when the code was redeemed, around a year ago they stopped including it, but codes redeemed prior to that did have it.

I don't think they were even meant to have it but one of the usual screw ups with packages granted it to those who redeemed fairly early on.
 
Thanks for the advice everyone. I picked up an Aurora LN package. At least I can get in and out of the Aurora successfully. I tried to board the Mustang and failed miserably! Defeated by an access hatch, there's not a lot of hope for me as a space buccaneer :)

I can't explore the game much at the moment as my rather ancient PC can't handle it. But by the time Star Citizen reaches beta I'll hopefully have built a shiny new X99 system.
 
Just having a mull about on this free stuff. The Hornet is it? how come to guns are pointing outwards? how you meant to shoot anything.

Cheers.

I have the one with the free Mustang Omega. I believe it came with an R9 295x2. Sadly I think that makes it the latest batch of codes.

The codes wouldnt matter, the offer that included SQ42 has long expired (this was about 1yr ago) so assuming they still have an SC Omega offer, you'd only get the SC 'MMO' but not the SQ42 SP campaign included.

Its annoying really, should still be included IMO. Fortunately i picked up a code when it came out, but it makes matter confusing (like things arent confusing enough!)

clearly i'm not doing it correct :P Thanks. I'll have a gander at the key binds

Im not sure any keybind is going to change anything. Are you saying that when you're flying the gun isnt shooting the direction your pointing it? (edit: i presume you're using KB&M?)
 
Accounts are being attributed with backer rewards in the RSI site hangar section, nothing in the actual hangar but at least they're on the accounts at last.
 
yeah, i got all excited when i saw that, and then it sunk in why there werent any screenshots :D


Some RtV notes which are worth listing:

- Feb 14th, Star Citizen and Squadron 42 will no longer be SOLD together at the price of $45. Existing packages are not affected. If you want to buy either of the two, they will cost $45 each, however if you decide to buy both, the other one will be $15, bringing the total to $60. E.G. Buy Star Citizen for $45 and Squadron 42 is $15, Vice versa.

- Free Fly week has been extended till the 14th.

- Movable furniture in hangars will come when Persistence and Grabby hands are in.

- There are new ships additional ships in concept that we do not know of yet. (their/INNs words, not mine!!)

- The new Drake interceptor has been given the name: Drake "Monarch" and the writers are looking for community feedback.

- Caterpillar is getting a lot of love at the moment, but no progress will be shown quite yet, however it wont be too long, only a couple weeks estimated before results.

- Herald is in limbo due to the mechanics for it not being online and thus being in a low priority state.

- Starfarer was said to release in Jan, but there's a cutoff for when stuff can make it into patches and it didn't make it into 2.1. They don't have a date yet, but in the next couple patches it should appear.

- A concept for a firefighting ship is a possibility in the distant future, they like the idea a lot, but don't have time for it right now.

- Jump drives may or may not come standard with starter ships, however every standalone ship can equip one. Companion ships like the Argo, Merlin, and Archimedes support a larger ship and is the reason why they do not have Jump drives.


Not entirely sure what to make of the Starfarer comment. Not about the ship, about the rest of it. I thought the whole point of these monthly patches was that there would be 1 content patch and thats it, only minor glitch-fixing patches would come outside of that. So why would it have been in the 2.1 patch, and why 'next couple of patches'... doesnt make much sense to me.

Yeah, im a bit lost as to how that would work. I can only assume it would be the huge capital ships that could have wiped out any hostiles and survive but be in a bad state. Its like another support role like the Crucible repair ship but much more limited. I'd assume they have something decent in mind if they like the idea. It could well be something they do after release, though theres plenty of time till that day comes so who knows it could be a concept ship on sale in a years time.
