Impressive explosion but then the ship was just gone... No wreckage. Is that because it's still work I'm progress?

Not sure my little ship would have much of a role in that fight.

yes still WIP.

Salvaging gameplay should hopefully come first half of next year as they are already working on the salvaging ship called the Drake Vulcan and they said it will come with ship salvaging gameplay with it

Any good video guides on getting started? I always log in, walk around for abit, just in a ship and fly aimlessly before i get bored. Seem to be missing what im actually supposed to do or specific areas to go to get started.
 
Pick missions from your mobiglass and do stuff. There's different missions depending on where you are.
Go exploring. Check out planets, moons, caves, cities, stations etc.
Use global chat and see if anyone wants a crew member for some bounties or whatever.

I've been stuck on Aliens for a few days, but I'd be happy to jump on and show you some stuff if you're up for it.

I've been doing the same, been playing Aliens for the past few days but seeing this light up again i've tempted to reinstall it.

Will give you a shout sometime this week if thats okay? Have you set up Flight stick with SC before? Easy to do?
 
Yeah, no probs :) Although Xenothreat ends tomorrow. You might want to check that out and I have gunner seats available and plenty of ships you can try out.

I don't use a flight stick, so can't help with that. Mr Mendoza does. Perhaps he can help?

It's a sandbox right now. Very little ingame to direct you bar some missions in the mobiglass. Just explore, try some missions, enjoy flying about and take part in any events or group shenanigans that get spoken of in global chat :)

Flightsticks are dead simple to setup ingame. Some sticks include built in profiles ingame, otherwise just set your own keybinds. Can take some time to get everything you want bound but worth the effort imo.

Ah okay, was reading up on that! Right if i can get this installed tonight in time i'll join you. Treat me as a novice, can't even remember the buttons to get out of the starting bed...

Thanks, if i can get my stick to work i'll defo want to use that i think.

Has there been any performance improvements? I remember running it last year on my 9900k and 3090 and it was a stuttery mess barely touching 60fps. The FPS was fine but the stuttering made it unplayable especially with the random pop ins from textures etc.

Cool. That video Jonney posted should get you up to speed. I can assist further in game.
I've sent you a trust message with some details :)

All ships have a role, i've seen Auroras battling away in there, its all fun.

Xeno V1 early this year. This time the last part of the explosion seems to be bugged, this is how its supposed to end but if you got close to it there was massive lag... sorry about the talking over it.

 
Full Phase 3, the final battle from V1.

This is the old HUD, new one in the first video at the top of the page is much better, also with the changes in gun capacitors you can't just hold down bot buttons like you can in this, you will run out of pew pew pretty quickly, missile operator mode is also very different, all these changes are a lot better from what it was early this year.

You have to make your shots count now, i always did but you just can't spray all day...

Think there may be a few performance tweaks, but nothing significant. Getting 60fps consistently (unless at low resolution) isn't going to happen anywhere busy, particularly in the main landing zones and during the XT event. Orison you'll be lucky to hit half that framerate I suspect!
I can normally get 30-40fps in most dog fighting combat which is good enough, framerate stutters are pretty rare here - tend to see them more on foot in the landing zones. During the XT event I've seen my framerate fighting the Idris drop sub 20 which gets painful, but there are shedloads of ships around, laser projectiles everywhere and some heavy clouds. Will look amazing being able to see this at a decent framerate some day!

Do you chaps use the OcUK discord for voice chat at all?
 
So, due to a decent increase in my base salary from end of year review I took the plunge and ordered the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 with the 20% discount.. I've seen many a video of it being used in SC and it looks awesome plus other games... $308NZD delivered... may be a toy in the long run but meh I'm in our NZ level 4 lockdown so can't do much else :)

HI, i use the TObii Eye TRacker 5. i got it december last year and really like it!

The only thing i dont like is the monitor flexi mount.

The tobii falls off it quite easily so now i have a bunch of boxes that support the flexi mount and tobii attached :(
