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

Donohue if you wait on the next patch there's likely to be several nights were we've got groups going around together, more fun in a group tbh even if it's only 2 or 3 others!
 
Whole game just now, cryengine is difficult to incrementally patch although they are looking into it.

Typically you'll find that patches are less frequent now than they were 12 months ago though, I usually only download overnight anyway so not a big deal!
 
Still buggy and disjointed mate, it's come a long way though but the netcode is still a major stumbling block. There's also little persistence in the mini-test universe.

Lots of fun to be had still though, if you haven't played yet I'd suggest holding off until the next patch as it adds a little more content and throws in a lot of bug fixes.
 
^^ They have also spoken about incremental patches Harry, just not confirmed it. It depends on what's available and whether they think it's worth doing so 2.7 *might* happen, I think it will tbh they rarely hold good stuff back if it's not needed for PAX, Gamescom etc.

Good to know, i was tempted to melt one of my ships for something less combat focused, but not sure which.

You've picked some ace ships, I love the Gladiator personally although hate how it looks. It's a dream to fly though and is hugely under-rated by some. The Super Hornet is always going to be one of the top dogs in dogfighting and the Cutlass Red has a ton of utility! Cutlass Red isn't flyable obviously so that screams "melt me" to me, but you'd likely regret it when the remakes hit the hangar :)

Remember you can melt/unmelt later if you get remorse, once every 3 months from store credit.

throwing these out there, old patches but still the same ships!


 
Servers are the problem - they're working on netcode and my understanding (hopefully someone corrects me if I'm wrong) is that they've got it in some diagnostic mode so they can monitor performance and find the problems. It'll be like that until it's sorted.

Oddly you will find some servers where you get 45+ FPS, but it generally starts dropping as people join. It is possible to hack (or was - been a while since I did it) to hack the client and run it offline and you'd have silky smooth performance.
 
I flip/flop between keyboard/mouse, HOTAS and Throttle + mouse (Roccat tyon). Have tried gameplay which is OK too but I've never been that good with them.

Keyboard and mouse will likely win I think for me unless a decent new HOTAS comes out, got little faith in Saitek to produce anything worth buying at the moment.
 
Partnered with Saitek/Madcatz but Logitech have since bought Saitek out which means the deal is up in the air. Many are hoping they can change it to Thrustmaster.
 
Check here every week or so mate you'll get a freefly at some point as we always mention them when we're told :)

Right now I think you're doing the right thing, if in doubt hold off. You are pledging for a promise after all. I'm not saying I haven't spent hundreds of hours having fun on it BUT it's not a complete game by any means it's still just a few cool bits, some tech demo and a fraction of a game that's actually playable.

Cheers for info, definitely will not upgrade it, still not played the game, not sure why I feel no pull to play this game, always felt was to much of as cash grab I think, not that I want to start that debate.

You may be able to get a refund or sell the account on later for profit, not all is lost :P

I personally don't think squadron 42 will be released for another 2-3 years. I'll be very happy if we see/hear anything about it and i'm almost willing to bet that they will show SQ42 at Citizencon this year or gamescon.

As i my self and other people still have a sour taste in their mouth from them saying we'd see something about SQ42 at Citizencon but we never got to see it.

I understand they don't want to show something that isn't up to Chris's or the teams vision but to not say anything about it until the event was unfortunate.

My prediction for this year is we will see 3.0 Aug/Sep and 3.1/SQ42 at Citizencon to close the year.

Squadron 42 is likely further along than the PU stuff we're seeing at the moment, however it's likely only missions 1-10 we'd get initially, not the whole thing. This is how it's always been planned.
 
Controller setup seems to slowly be getting easier. When I'm back from hols I'll likely just go back to keyboard/mouse for a while though, might be an excuse for a new keyboard too :P
