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

Ah so RSI site stats out of date for the weapons? Honestly that main gun I just gave up on it seems to pick a direction and fire only if there wasn't a ship in the way :D

Citcon tickets coming up next week but it's in LA :-/

So much for the Scythe being limited to 500*... it still is, but for whatever reason its available to try in the free fly.

I can see Scythe owners being rather petty about it, not so much Omega owners.

* or however many it was.

It's free fly.. tbh Scythe has always been an option for subscribers to rent anyway, it's not even a good ship.

If they did it with the 890Jump you can bet there would be a riot as owners of that are obsessed with ensuring it's never on sale again.
 
Depends on sticks and yourself mate. My T16000M and CH Pro throttle are on the same level as my elbow and fine, I'd prefer them to be an inch lower and when I do get around to making flip out holders for them I'll drop them a little.

I just has a go in the Omega, i have not flown it in combat for a long time.

Its really not bad, the M3A's do the job, they are fixed but it doesn't mater, its so agile the whole ship is a gimbal.
You can make yourself a very difficult target to hit, and you'd need to, for all practical purposes it has no shields and a paper hull.

Still, if you can avoid getting hit its ok.

I prefer fixed weapons, probably as I use a HOTAS though I guess so gimbals are a pain in the...

tbh most of the ships in Star citizen are good or really good, there isn't a huge amount between them in terms of flight capability with a few exceptions (Cutlass/Glaive are poor). I just hope they start tweaking them so they feel more individual, give some of more character.

PS still patching.. taking ages!
 
Yeah true, that's usually why I don't whinge about one being more powerful than the other, it's all likely to change dramatically as new elements are patched in.

I do like comparing them just now but only so in 3+ years time I can look back at short vids and see how they changed.
 
Very true I've flown mostly rented ships recently, particularly fond of many of the lower value pledge ships though like the LN and Gamma, just fun to fly.
 
We got any theory about what happens when the sale ends? Typically they've something up their sleeve, Citicon LA tickets are going on sale on Thurs.. just seems like they're up to something!
 
Sorry, hungover earlier, meant when the free flight ends lol.

I was thinking along the lines of "Sale" or something equally as routine, perhaps yet another concept ship announced that'll be pushed up the line like the Sabre or one to sit at the back of the bus with the Merchantman etc.
 
Weds 5PM UTC - Subscribers access to Citcon LA tickets (1 per account), everyone else gets access to buy them on Friday.

Thurs 6PM GMT - Concierge get access to buy the new star map poster, everyone else gets access on Friday.

both limited number, likely they'll only allow the early access folk to order up to a cap so there are always some held back.

No idea why one time is set as UTC and other as GMT as they're the same just now lol
 
I think it'll be more expensive but tbh I'm not interested, I'll get it on REC when it's in-game and then consider. Even if you are LTI obsessed these days there's really no reason to buy concept ships at that stage with the melt system unless you happen to have the cash sitting about gathering dust :)
 
We use to do it weekly but after I missed a couple when on holidays they never started up again.. I'll be on Saturday evening around 8pm uk. Normally on Friday too but poker night this week! Happy to fly with whoever is about
 
It's the "Blade" vanduul light fighter that's going up tonight. Pretty conflicted about it, yet another fighter, yet another vanduul ship that's somehow in our hands etc etc. I'd love to see more non-combat ships but.. and I know this will sound bitchy non-combat ones are arguably harder to do.

I agree with the lottery tbh Paul, I'm not interested in yet another fighter especially one that being Vanduul will have poor flight mechanics like the Scythe and Glaive but more about the fact that we're going to have a situation where we are just as likely to encounter a human in a vanduul ship as a vanduul in one at this rate :)
 
With it being Vanduul I'd expect it to handle badly, which defeats the purpose of a light fighter!

Starfarer looks great but holy hell it's enormous, way too big for what I wanted :) One to get in-game.
