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

Couple of questions.

Does the game persist your money earned and missions done? - They are working on that. It is implemented in the game but it's buggy for instance i know recently @humbug lost everything he had earned because of an issue with persistence ( this also bugged one of his purchased(real money) items and made it so he couldn't use them in game. A ship i believe it was. )

What's a decent sized ship I can *pledge* for no more than 60/70 pounds? - That hevily depends on what you want to do. Something like the Avenger titan is a good all rounder

How many fps type missions are there in Hurston? - i have no idea

What other cities/planets are there besides Lorville /Hurston and are they very far to travel from Lorville? - there are quite a lot of planets thinking about it all usually having a small set of buildings on them but nothing major. Lorville/hurson/arcorp and i believe now new babbage is there too but i haven't played for a few months.

Can you fast travel to other planets? - NO! not if by fast travel you mean by traditional game standards of go on a map click and you just *POOOF* load in there. No in SC you need to use your quantum drive to travel long distances. Your QD has a speed and that speed dictates how long your jump will take. In some cases the last time i played that meant some of the fastest ships in the game ( the really big ones have faster QD's as a rule of thumb) could take upwards of 10 minutes to complete some jumps so you will be in quantum waiting to get from A-B. You can be pulled out of jump (interdicted i believe) by police,pirates and eventually players.

Where can I buy weapons in Lorville /Hurston? -There is a weapon shop on the majority of planets.
 
I've not played in years - finally recovered my account thanks to support, and it's definitely come a long way. Struggling to get any kind of decent performance though (3700x, 16GB, GTX980 and installed on SSD). Can only assume it's the GFX holding me back, playing at 1440p on low and struggling to get much over 20FPS.

I'll check back again in 3 years once I've upgraded :p

Something isn't right there! the performance has come a long way in the last few years. I haven't heard anyone say 20fps in a long time.
 
Is 4.0 going to be alpha?

No :)

Does the game persist your money earned and missions done?

Its supposed to yes but its kerfuied right now, going from 3.8 to 3.9 initially i retained everything but one more patch later i lost everything, all my personal items, ship items, 745,000 aUEC, a $100 real cash modified 325A (which i can easily get back by CCU'ing it and rebuying with the account credit) and somehow my friends list in MobiGlass is empty.
Well i don't know if this was because of another patch, i also had an Anvil Arrow which i CCU'ed and bought a Reliant Tena to look at as it been upgraded. the Reliant is in game but the modified 325A is missing. So it could be that which killed it.

What's a decent sized ship I can *pledge* for no more than 60/70 pounds?

Avenger Titan, good starter ship, flies well, has reasonable fire power, some cargo, beds to logout in....

How many fps type missions are there in Hurston?

2 or 3, Eviction missions, An NPC mission, her name is tisha or petisha or something like that.... (Edit: its Twitch) and an 890 Jump rescue mission, you have to board an 890 Jump and kill pirates who have taken it over.

What other cities/planets are there besides Lorville /Hurston and are they very far to travel from Lorville?

Planets with their hero cities:

Dellema: Levski
Hurston: Lorville
ArcCorp: Area 18
Yela: Asteroid Belt - GrimHex
MicroTech: New Babbage

Those planted also have moons and there are space stations dotted all over the place.

Can you fast travel to other planets?

Yes, you Quantum Jump to the planet, once there if you press B again it will highlight locations on the planet surface, line the ship up with the location and hold down B, it will do a small jump to take you to 20 or so KM outside the location. Once there find the space port, usually highlighted by red flashing lights, hale the space port and they will assign you a hanger or pad, indicated by a spanner in your world hud.

Where can I buy weapons in Lorville /Hurston?

You can't, not at Lorville.

Weapons:
Port Olisar (at Crusader gas giant)
GrimHex
Levski
Area 18
Most Space stations.

Edit: couple of vids i had in my youtube...

I had a little fun with atmospheric entry in this one.


This was before New Babbage was complete, it is now...

Oh... Wait! @jonneymendoza do you already have a game package? if you do you can simply upgrade the ship, pay the difference in value. what's your situation with that? I'll give you further instructions.

I got all my stuff back, apart from cash with the fix patch. Seems to be a bit hit and miss.

I'll have a look later, i'm a bit miffed with them at the moment..... need a few days break. :)

Go to your hanger. and select Ship Upgrades.

Select your ship package.

Select the ship you want to upgrade to and go through the motions....

--------------------------

If you change your mind you can convert your ships to store credit, remember when rebuying you always need a game package, once you have that you can upgrade the ship in it or buy more "stand alone" ships.

I have plans for tonight, and to be honest we don't play star citizen as an org much.

I'm happy to send you a link to our Discord if you like but if Star Citizen group play is what you are looking for we don't do much of that at the moment. But i'm happy to show you the ropes another day.

This is the Org page if you're looking to do some serious Star Citizen group play https://robertsspaceindustries.com/community/orgs

Cool ok thanks. It looks like the star system is complete. If so they should polish it up more, create about 200h worth of missions to do and make it persistent with 10000 players in one server with server meshing and release it as beta

I terms of celestial content its about 90% complete, the only major thing left to do is to finish Crusader, the Gas Giant, its actually a place holder, its been there like that since 2.0, its going to be replaced with a giant ball of actual gas, it will also have a giant floating city in it upper atmosphere, with space Wales living in Crusader. (no kidding)

Once that is done Port Olisar, also a place holder that's been there since 2.0, will be defunct, be sad to see it go...

Space its self will also be filled with 3D gas clouds, colourful nebulas, to make it look less empty and black......

In this video, at about 30 seconds you can see what it will look like.


Also in this one....


Beyond The Stanton System the Pyro system is currently under construction.
 
impressive stuff.

I am in area18 now and wow this place is gorgous

When does server meshing come so we can have proper MMO type scaling here with 10000 of players in a server?

I think this game is close to beta with the above suggestions i pointed out plus crusader being done.

They dont need to build 100 star systems for this game to be ready. just one star system to start off with

It is, New Babbage is nice too...

No one knows when Server meshing will come, they are working on it and it is a priority.

Once the Stanton System is complete and server meshing is in i agree it should be in Beta, they now have the tools to build systems much faster, it took 4 guys 1 week to build the 3 moons around MicroTech.
 
Something isn't right there! the performance has come a long way in the last few years. I haven't heard anyone say 20fps in a long time.

Dropping to 1080P has made a huge difference, it at least maintains between 30-45 FPS now so it's more playable. Obviously doesn't look as good...

Where are you to be seeing those numbers? it has to be within a city somewhere? they aren't too great for performance as i just remembered :D but once you leave them and get out into the universe and the space it gets a lot better! including smaller planetside places.

THis seems worth me watching?
