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

I don't think the visuals are too bad. definitely showing their age now but some of the planetary visuals are impressive imo..... no other game gives the same sense of scale as elite. it is clear however imo either corners were cut with the latest expansion or Frontiers proprietary game engine has hit a brick wall.
the thing which I will never understand however is FD have decided to mothball the feature which I have never ever seen anyone have a negative thing to say about it..... VR.
not all elite players have VR but I am confident the majority of PCVR players do have elite.
I really hope CIG implement decent VR at some point before Star Citizens release.

You're right the visuals are not too bad, its fine, weirdly tho i think Horizons looked better than EDO.

finished? No live service type ghame is ever finished.

MMo's and even MP games keep being worked on with new content and updates released all the time and the same will be true with SC.

CIG are not guna just release 1.0 of the game and call it a day... They will keep on adding new content and features after release

Didn't realise it was a live service game. Thanks, easy pass.

What game isn't live service now? But being an MMO it always was going to be. Anything multiplayer is also live service.

If you want a campaign single story though then wait for SQ42. That's going to be pay and forget. But there will never be another multiplayer game released that isn't live service in that it will have perpetual updates till its mothballed for the next release version like Overwatch 2.

Also no you can get all the ships in game by way. You don't have to spend more than the initial pledge tbh.

Most online MP video games are live services.

They all add content and features throughout its life cycle. Nothing new here.

Are you new to gaming?

No, I thought it was something else entirely.
I thought it was a single player game like freelancer with optional multiplayer lol.

is it like elite where you could play solo/offline but go online if you want to do PvP etc?

@Curlyriff yeah makes sense. This was because as above I thought it was something different.

I wanted an excuse to get a fancy hotas setup from Virpil lol.

Cig are making two games. One is called squadron 42 which is the single player game and the other is star citizen, the mmo game that is currently in pre alpha stage and can be played as of today (but I wouldn't recommend you jump on it yet. Wait for at least beta)

Beta sounds like something to aim for thanks. I don't like episodic single player games, I thought that was what you meant when you said it was live service. Glad to have cleared that up.

The Nvidia 7090 should be released at the same time as squadron 42 ;)

In all honestly I predict its 4 years away

the way its going it will be released in 2042, at least that way the name would make sense ;)


I remember my mate buying a GTX780 so he would be ready to play star citizen. At the time I told him he was being overly optimistic, and he should have held his horses and got a GTX 980 when i did which would *definitely* be star citizen ready.

that was 2 gpus ago ......... am not convinced i will still have my 3090 by the time it drops either!

Nobody will have their current build for SQ42 let alone the PU tbh. SQ42 likely wont drop till xmas 2024 tbh with what shown and the PU maybe another decade till they get features and systems in they suggested in 2014 expanded scope.
 
Salvage doesn't happen without cargo refactor because of how they linked them so it was always going to come in some form. They even showed it with the salvage and said as such in principle but don't expect it beyond the basics of you purchase goods and they appear in the cargo hold of your ship automatically and probably instantly, although there could be a timer to represent delivery of goods to your ship.

Beyond that I am not expecting anything.
 
AvengerOne's put out a quick vid talking about peoples attitudes to pvp and global events such as jumptown. I agree with what he's saying from everything I've seen in game as well. There seems to be a large number of people who don't want to pvp and get very upset if they're forced to. Now that is understandable and is the same issue mmo's have when it comes to world pvp. Being forced to pvp when you don't want to is a bad thing imo. That doesn't apply to SC though; you know it's open pvp and scouting, escorts etc. can all be a thing.

you say it doesnt apply to SC.

you are assuming everyone follows the game religiously. When i backed there was meant to be a PvP slider you could dial right down that would not make pvp impossible but would make it unlikely..... when i found out that this was no longer going to be a thing i enquired about a refund and was told no. I was pretty dissapointed about that tbh and would definitely have made me hesitate over backing.

As for players being too soft (mentioned in video) ...... it is about what i enjoy. I really liked privateer back in the day and would be more than happy with a new version of that with the updated visuals and handling etc..... no players necessary. has it been confirmed whether or not private servers will be a thing? irrc there was stuff sold a bit ago WRT private servers but i may be confusing myself.

if i could i would just play on a pve private server and that way everyone would be happy.....
