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

Yeah hold out for a CCU, the only difference is that the Vanguard comes with lifetime insurance, if that's a big deal to you them melting the connie, grabbing a cheap mustang/aurora package and then buying the Vanguard may be better.

Entirely comes down to how obsessed people are about LTI, I doubt it'll be worth much in-game as we'll instantly start customising our ships anyway and it doesn't cover any changes from the base ship.
 
It's not a special ship from what I gather and it'll be back up for sale later, probably with a package at a slightly higher price for both single ship and package.
 
Complained a ton about the hoops they make people jump through, sadly the community on the RSI site are such a bunch of fanboys you get shouted for daring to. CIG have said they're looking into it, but I doubt it'll change.
 
I'm just getting back into Elite tbh, most likely going to wipe and start from scratch as I'm sure I left off after traveling about 2 hours out from core and realising there's sod all to do!

Oh.. FYI anyone wanting to get back into the game who's missed a few months - this is a great little site to see the current status of development: http://www.starcitizenstatus.com/

This month it’s all about the heads and we have been gearing towards preparing the facial scanning rig for the Imaginarium Shoot in London. We have transported the setup to a premises in London, just over the road from Ealing Studios, and the camera rig is now taking centre stage in the basement. During the move we took the opportunity to add 2 more cameras, improved the spacing between the cameras and experiment a little with the setup generally. Overall we are seeing some great improvements on what was already one of the best rigs in the country. The only hardship has been the manual labelling and renaming of the 50 cameras and over 250 cables and hopefully we will never have to do that again!

We also welcomed Jon Jones :) to the team as a very experience facial animator. Jon came down to London to help setup the camera rig so he can familiarize himself with the setup and FACs scanning process. We have also approved the in-game facial rig setup we received from 3Lateral and we are on track to produce fantastic quality heads with great and realistic facial animation".

Ha sweet congratulations mate! :-)
 
using some REC and took a Gladiator out, must admit it's pretty sweet to fly even without using missiles. Found mine was in worse shape than usual after wave 5 though. (jump to 7:21)

Depends on what you want, if you want realism ED certainly isn't the standard as it's practically the same as atmospheric flight. Star Citizen is much more realistic.

For fun factor though ED is much more enjoyable in my opinion. I just don't like the overly quick yaw in SC.

I find it the opposite tbh, the more I play Arena Commander the more I like it, I literally can't stand flying in ED anymore, there's no challenge in controlling the craft. Perhaps it's just that I've spent more time in AC now and my brain is more in-tune with that way of flying but ED fights feels like they take an age and are mostly turning battles due to the lack of debris.

I did enjoy ED, but right now I've gone off it in a big way, hopefully that'll change after a few weeks break from SC for GTA V though lol
 
I barely played AC before I upgraded my graphics card but afterwards.. I'm a bit of an addict :) With huge amounts of backdated REC being given to subscribers I've been able to get loaner ships and try them out, it's incredible just how differently they handle. My least favourite is the Super Hornet, it's like driving a garbage truck, Mustang Delta probably the most fun as it's flimsy but quick and fairly numble with decent guns at stock.

Sadly I think anyone running with a slower graphics card as I was would probably be put off with the combat side as it gets a bit choppy. I know I was, free flight was OK but then you don't really get a feel for what the ship can do in that.
 
MISC Hull series going on sale on Friday folks.

That's if you're keen to be milked.. personally I may melt something if it looks good enough but otherwise "me hands are in me pockets".
 
Mark Hamill is in the UK just now.. hey just saying!

Subs runs out on Friday and this sale comes up.. wonder what I'm going to do lol Sommat is going to be melted!
