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

I really wish I understood their mindset, we've had a genre of space sims that's been death for over a decade and now finally start getting games come out and all they can do is whinge.

They aren't even competitors!
 
There's a misunderstanding about the pvp slider making it "solo" in the community, ultimately until they've implemented it we won't know for sure but they've spoken at length about it not being a solo mode, that there will always be a chance of meeting up with miscreants and if you go looking in hostile territory that slider won't help you.

There should be no slider for stupid, if people want to play "solo" then they can go play ED.

Nope it was sold as having it, whilst CR himself could scrap it there would be an outcry. Bare in mine ED doesn't really have a solo mode either, it's more an online but mostly offline mode, yeah no other players but you still have the impact of players on trade etc.

The way CIG are working it is very reminiscent of Ultima Online, it was essentially a PVP game until they released a patch which essentially created a carbon copy of the world but with tons of artificial rules in it that helped protect people, it was essentially a care-bear version of the same world and people flocked to it. However many stayed in the pvp area, preferring the added danger and opportunities it gave, despite staying there I was rarely attacked but I was still able to take advantage if someone died nearby or was horribly injured.. you know, I'm an opportunist lol .. he had a gun damn it!

Anyway the slider is here but it's mostly only going to influence the type of instance you are in, and that'll still be heavily dependent on where you are. In safe space, yeah it'll likely keep you entirely safe from players but you'll still face npcs. In less safe areas, not so much and in lawless space it'll likely have no impact at all.

For those of us who aren't too fussed about the slider I doubt it'll really impact us, most of the valuable stuff to find and trade in won't be in safe space after all. If carebears want the goods, they'll have to come out and play.
 
just in from work guys so probably won't be on, did pop on last night though - I'm trying out HOTAS again, still not sure I like it more than throttle/mouse but I'm a lot more accurate flying, just the age old gimbal/hotas issue.
 
Friendly fire is def a problem, people should have to report a criminal act IMHO, ships sensors could obviously be used as evidence but that information should also be part of information running.

Missed opportunity, auto-flagging as criminal may well be temporary though seeing as it's a test PU.
