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

Well I've just crashed 3 times in the past 2-3 hours. On 2 of those occasions it took out discord as well. I didn't even get to complete my mission and it reset my progress. My friends had crashing issues, and one guy died due to a lack of O2 even though he was in an airlocked facility with a guy who didn't have a space suit.
It really needs a better tutorial rather than throwing people in.

The ships are phenominal though.
 
The more i fly the Corsair in an environment where it needs to perform the less i like it.

Taking the gimbals off its impossible to track anything faster than an Idris and even with the gimbals on anything faster than a Valkyrie, i can't really complain about that its a big gun boat, still tho its a bit disappointing that its more than just compromised in that sense, you just cannot make it work and in a big battle you have to because the Anvil Arrow NPC's have a nasty habit of making a bee line for it, no they really do, they see it as a juicy target, again i'm supposed to have a crew in turrets to fend them off and for that to be fair its very effective.
You can't just solo it in a big battle.

Once the shields are down its fragile, its got those classic Drake svivle engines on either side that snap off when you breath on them, but its worse than the Cutlass, its such a heavy thing with those engines generating so much thrust when one does snap off the lop sided torque imbalance wants to send the sip in to a violent spin at the slightest touch of the throttle..

Those enormous wings, as cool as they are just get in the way, it gives the ship a weird profile and bulk that you just can't fit in anywhere weather they are folded up or not, its not just perilous to get them in and out of side door hangers because of the wings sticking up like.... eh (Giant Corsair Sales) you also can't get them under the Xeno Wrecks, so its useless as a supply runner.

I have mixed feelings about it, its huge pilot controlled fire power is intoxicating, when you can use it, i agree with Morthologist it is a brilliant design and super cool, video below. its nice that it has separate crew quarters for all and a separate captains quarters, i like the armoury room, i like the way the elevator gives access to the roof. Who doesn't like an elevator that takes you to the roof so you can walk around on top of your ship?

I like the cargo hold for its capacity and vehicle carrying ability, i like the undercarriage floodlights and above the cargo door, both of which you can turn on and off.

I don't like the interior materials, the olive green colour, i'd like it to be grey like the Cutlass, or a darker green like the Cutter, which also has better more up-to-date materials, i honestly think this is an old ship that was abandoned years ago and only just finished. probably because of the combination of its complicated svilily engines and flappy a-symmetrical wings.

I am going to keep it, there is just too much to like about it, but i can't use it for Xeno, unless i have a crew, which is fair enough, its supposed to be crewed, but i do wish it wasn't so "Drake"

I have a video uploading, i'm quite angry in it.

i think the redeemer is a better ship if you want to solo a bit.

The redeemer has a lot of pilot weapons too and when fully manned? it can destroy a hammerhead or two !!!
 
Is there something wrong with their website? When ever I go onto it it just lags out. I'm using Firefox. It was like that a few weeks ago when I last tried and is still the same.
 
Current patch seems more than playable from the little I've done so far. First big event will be friday for my lot and I'm looking forward to it. My flying skills on the other hand, well I'm out of practice... :D

If anyone new wants to signup with a referral code, let me know. We both gain from it.
