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

Another fun keyboard button to accidentally hit is right shift. Sometimes I press every key to work out how to do something, but right shift is a sneaky one as there's no reaction on screen to it :p

Its really stupid. They need to get all these non-intuitive things sorted out and make the game more approachable.

I understand its alpha, but I still think it would be a good use of dev time.

100% with you mate, my head is sore from banging on about this sort of thing on reddit and being downvoted, then putting it into various sections of the forum and being shot down. Accessibility is key - make the game EASY to test and more people will test it, the only reason they have the evocati just now is because there's a lack of real user testing going on by the community, many are playing and not leaving feedback of any kind, personally I think some of that is down to the disconnect between the game and method of reporting, the lack of joined up thinking and working on silo'd parts of the project.

It's going fairly well, but it could be SO much better.

Okay, here's my first five minutes back in Star Citizen...

Firstly - Damn I forgot how beautiful this game is... It's running a little worse than last time I played, but I'm due a Graphics upgrade :p

I follow these instructions...


I reached my ship (Freelancer) - Walked around it a bit - Accidentally hit "F" next to the bed and got into bed.

Then I proceeded to hit every single key I could think of to leave the bed, but couldn't find the "Exit bed" button.

After about two minutes of trying, I heard someone moving around, and then they started flying my ship :p I then heard all sorts of comms chatter, but was still stuck in my bed unable to move :p :D

So yeah... how do I leave bed? :D

There is a lot more to Evocati than that. :)

For example it enables developers and QA to call on testers on mass in the moment to carry out specific testing tasks and get instant feedback, monitor systems....
 
Its a weird one that, Aegis now Anvil, entry lvl mining now... salvage? seems the most likely outcome, looks beefy enough to hold a fair amount so unlikely to be combat focused, and cargo ships are plentiful.

Gaps, for me, are entry salvage and perhaps refuelling/harvesting (but that doesnt fit IMO). Science has the Reliant, nothing mid-sized (Conny Aquilla i suppose is expl/sci ish?), repair is lacking as i wouldnt count the Argo.

Woke up in my room and looked at the FPS, as is a habit with SC, 75 FPS on Very High, thats the refresh rate of my screen, its the highest i have ever seen SC.

Too good to be true?

Went outside, 65 FPS...

Noooo, can't be!

FPS did fluctuate around playing the game but its better again than the last 2.5 Patch, and a whole lot better than 2.4.1.

I also have a short video that i'll upload tomorrow :)

For real? I might have to patch up the first time in months.
Just got a Titan X Pascal and put it under water. This should be good with SC now that it is not held back anymore.
 
Anyone know if there is a ship sale in celebration of Gamescom like they usually do?

Also what time is the stream? I'll have to install the PTU and get playing with you guys as not touched it in a while.

Also with regards to performance it won't improve until they release 2.7 currently I think it sends every single bit of information to the client that currently in your session even if you can't see it happening.

Almost certainly the Terrapin going on sale by the looks of it.

9PM German time the stream goes live, you should have an e-mail about it.
