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

Probably BoredGamer with the desperate way he's been trying to cort Intel for sponsorship.

That post has just helped explain why i've been surprised that there hasnt been any 3.0 videos on my subscriptions. I'd forgot i'd unsubbed from him a while back.
It was the fact that every single day he'd have a video posted, and it was always about stuff he'd already covered a dozen times already, and most likely in the last week. I cant stand people who are intentionally flooding a category with their content so their videos are the majority of what you find when searching for something.

I know one, Noobifier? had quit his job to cover 3.0, one of them had. I think Bored just sees it as his job to be fair he's a nice guy but I preferred it when he put out one video a week, now he's streaming etc constantly.

 

[NZXT30]

To be honest he did have one of the hardest jobs in the world of streaming and youtube media.

Just remembered it was WTFosaurus who had the meltdown over the delay

Okay, so if I understand Organisations they'll be able to own territory & build a base, maybe build a space station but they aren't quite sure atm? The territory can be in 'safe' UEE(?) space or outside of it, more risk but you keep the rewards? This would interest me as I would quite like to build an Empire consisting of a sausage factory with my Organisation of 1 I'm actually seriously considering backing it now… probably [insert thinking emoji here when OcUK adds it to the list of available BB smilies]

Have they implemented proper gamplay yet? Ie. doing a mission from start to end or activities such as mining, salvaging etc. ? I've seen some flying around, some walking and some shooting, not much else.

 

[Lordgrayone]

Mining amd salvaging will come in later builds.
3.0 will have missions but the primary focus atm is stability and flying around so I believe the missions are disabled as they are not 100% complete yet

it's still really uncertain how they will implement bases and what they mean by securing them etc. It'll likely be the case that if you have a base within UEE space then the UEE will respond if it's attached, that doesn't mean instant spawning defenders though just that they will turn up.

outside that UEE space I'd expect a similar function offered by criminal gangs who may not be as reliable turning up.

be interesting how they do it tbh

Yeah. How large are they planning to make the Universe? It's all hand crafted isn't it(?) so if the game is hugely popular, & I think the hype will guarantee it will be, they could have problems with amount of 'land' available.

 

[Raumarik]

200 or so Hand crafted systems with the rest a mixture but mostly procedural. It keeps changing a bit though, like Elite I think the devs will always hand craft parts whether it's placements of certain settlements or stations.

 

[LeMson]

Does this mean my drake has LTI? or have I messed it up lolz

 

[Raumarik]

Yes that's a Cutlass Black LTI now.

Think the Hawk is very "Slave One" with the way it loads the target into it's butt!

 

[LeMson]

Thank you Raumarik

k. I'm probably sold & will pick up a ship next month for Xmas… I get a sense that it mightn't be remotely ready yet but that the ducks are now all in order… late 2019 anyone?

Yup.

 

[Raumarik]

2020 onwards for release tbh can't see it even being in beta by end 2018.

Just a collection of images from the PTU 3.0 in it's current state that I think show why we are wanting things to work for the game. Seeing these reminds me of what I want from a space based game. To see a universe and it's different locations and this is with 3 moons and an asteroid in the game at moment let alone an actual planet or city.
