Commissar Kate Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 19603	Posted - 2013.10.14 12:49:00 - [1] - Quote I looked at the Star Citizen forums a few days ago and it seems there is a pretty good hatred towards Eve players. That kind of put me off. Also I do agree that Star Citizen does and will have a much larger user base then EVE will ever have. In my eyes Star Citizen is appealing to a larger audience then EVE. With shiny graphics, Twitch based, and less of a PVP focus being the big draws to the game.

Damn the general eve player reputation all to hell. I'm still on the fence about Star Citizen. I have not seen enough about the general gameplay to determine if I would like it or not. I tread lightly on pre-release stuff these days.

Correct. Shouldn't play a game which charge $200/year without providing new content for years: the only changes in my gameplay during last 2 years were OGB nerf + drone-eating AI. I'm sure with PvP-focused "expansions" situation won't change in 2014 (and maybe in 2015) so switch to other 5 upcoming sandbox games isn't really a question. Just it's a bit frustrating to abandon "investments" I've made into EVE while there were no other alternatives + to see how CCP is wasting huge potential while they still have money for actual expansions instead of PvP content which failed to attract more subscribers during last 4 years. Do you know what would be evil?

Sure Star Citizen looks "cool" but no one actually knows how the end product will feel/play. As for all the limited edition ships and other nonsense im sure if you really want to fly one that badly just start you own private server and dev hack them into your hanger.

I still haven't met a single person who is interested about the new development plan. And i don't know why. Maybe i'm not looking in the right places, or maybe the average EVE player only minds his business and leaves worries to the 1% (if it's that much) who bother to keep themselves informed and share their opinion. From what I gather, it's like if the servers could be shut down tomorrow without as much as raising an eyebrow. This is some strange game, truly. I feel this way about Eve right now.

It took me months to decide whether or not to get the bounty-hunter package. I suppose CIG wouldn't have $23 million if not for folks like you guys, but it does stun me how loose peoples pocket books can get to fund the development of a game they want to see. Well, a developer can also HTFU and tell players to go F themsleves if they don't like being served the same reheated porridge for 10 years @ a mere 180 Gé¼ per year. Put in other terms, would you rather have a Constellation in Star Citizen for as long as the game lasts, or double-account EVE for 8 months and just get more of the same? I wish I would have known about Star Citizen when they had their lifetime insurance. It feels too late to get involved now.

After EVE it was amazing experience - to trust complete strangers with hundreds $$$ worth ships and receive them back with higher value. Playing Eve for years and years rewires your brain to not trust complete strangers.

This has been more about selling one persons vision for a game they would like to play than it has been about the game its self. It is the first game where I have ever thought, well I will need a new computer just for that, No Worries. $500 for a HOTAS and another $500 for Pedals, sounds good. I might want 3 bigger monitors and an TrackIR, awesome. Will it compete with EvE, yes/no it is similar as it is a space game but it will more pull on the strings of everyone who played Wing Commander, Freelancer or even Elite. And the graphics so far are just out of this world and make EvE look like an old VGA game by comparison. As to the ships we can buy now, they are apparently a small amount compared to what will be available at launch, especially the capitals. Heh. Such obvious parallels between SC cheerleaders, such as yourself, and Apple nerds that it is just tragic. Does sound a bit like something a Apple loving person would say. Now admit I have a $400 joystick/pedals and trackIR but its certainly not for StarCitizen. Nor would I feel the need to purchase such hardware before the game is even released.

If I want a arcade experience, I'd play any of the FreeSpace (available on GOG) games, X-Wing, TIE fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE fighter or X-Wing Alliance. Oh god yes. A space sim with the detail of DCS (yes i'm a die hard fan and own all the modules) would be killer. I bet Star Citizen won't even have helmet based targeting systems. IE look at target and lock him for missile launch. This is very real, modern fighters currently use this system like the F/A-18 Hornet and Su-27 Flanker.

Modern fighters are inherently unstable. Instability leads to maneuverability. Without computer assistance, controlled level flight would be difficult and inefficient. The pilot basically tells the computer where to maneuver the aircraft and computer moves the control surfaces to the needed positions and compensates for any instabilities. Although this is for atmospheric flight and aerodynamics only, not spaceflight . Spaceflight is whole different animal. At the very least, if there is true newtonian physics, a "kill rotation" button will be needed. Rotation can get out of hand quickly if you're not careful. /rant off

The system is continuously firing micro-thrusts to keep the ships straight, but Roberts disabled the visualization of such microthrusts because it was ugly to see the thrusters flickering continuously even when the ship was "stopped". Anyway, I would expect hardcore private servers enabling the effect back just for the sake of it, along with whatever modifcations are allowed via modding of the engine. Hmmm If I intend to play SC I better get awesome with my dog fighting skills. Guess I'll have to do more dogfights in DCS with my Su-27 Flanker.

Commissar Kate Team Evil 59242	Posted - 2014.05.07 17:22:00 - [20] - Quote Real physics? Even Star Citizen won't probably have those just out of the sheer complexity of maneuvering in space. From what I have seen so far it just looks like it has lite newtonian physics with atmospheric flight dynamics for ease of use. If you want real space flight physics go play Orbiter or even KSP Obviously dogfights with fighter craft will be close range <500m in range. What about beyond visual range combat >25km? Will this be a thing? Is there missiles that can shoot out that far? Also what about capital ship battles? its this going to be close range or will you be able to engage lets say out to 100km+ which would be a believable range if you're using something like lasers? Does every weapons system have to be manually aimed? Even Capital ships turrets? However I completely understand that manual aiming would be "game design" feature, meant to actually test the players skill and automated tracking would take the "fun and skill" out of the game. What about larger ships, capital ships? Does each and every turret have to be manually aimed by a separate person or is it an automated process with someone setting in front of a main battery control computer directing the ships fire? For me, completely manually controlled turrets is dumb and highly unrealistic for a civilization that can traverse space without any troubles. I guess the real question here is what is the realistic/game play balance? I could really careless about dogfighting. I just like to see large ships slug it out against each other.

Can't you spin the ship around it's own axle without changing flight direction? I'm thinking its because 100% realistic space flight is very difficult. I would expect them to have a hybrid atmospheric flight/newtonian flight model just out of sheer ease of use just like almost all other space sims out there use.

This was actually addressed by CR on the forums here: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/92575/dogfighting-demo/p1 So as I said above, it just comes down to ease of use and gameplay. Just add some techno-babble fly by wire computer explanation for it. Realistic space flight = extreme difficulty and lots of frustration for the unseasoned and pilot. I'd take a hybrid space/atmospheric flight model over a 100% accurate one any day just to make the game more enjoyable instead of fighting it. And there is G-Forces to deal with? If so, so much for crazy extreme maneuvering. If they include g-loc be prepared for hilarious results from it. As I used to see it all the time when I played my flight sims online. Also how do SC ships traverse star systems and interstellar space? Warp drive seems out due to fact that I think you would have to deal with extreme g-forces. People, who talk, don't know.

Less travel time makes for a happy player. But for me the question is if they use jump drives does that mean you can jump to anywhere you want or do you have to jump to a beacon/gravity well or some other specific spot intended to create a chokepoint?

Mind you I come from a sim that has extremely detailed aircraft with very complex targeting systems so I'm used this sort of thing. Flight model was exactly as I expected it would be.

If I want to fly planes, I fly my DCS A-10 or FSX. Some cockpits don't look extremely futuristic. Not trying to defend or promote SC here but 'it is possible' to fly like that in a vacuum to a certain extent. It just requires enormously powerful engines and RCS thrusters, especially RCS thrusters. The RCS thrusters can be used in such a way to fake atmospheric aerodynamic flight so you can fly your spacecraft almost like a normal aircraft but in a vacuum. The RCS just has to be setup in way that emulates the forces you get from a wing and tailplane while maneuvering in a atmosphere. This can be achieved in Kerbal Space Program but it is difficult at best to control and requires modded RCS thrusters that are just as powerful as your main engine. Works best while flying low over a moon. In the end it comes just comes down to game play and aesthetics. Realistic space fighter combat would be a hair pulling out affair and space fighters would look totally different than what we expect and non sexy with all the gigantic RCS thrusters they would require.

Commissar Kate Team Evil 74202	Posted - 2014.09.23 20:02:00 - [29] - Quote I've been checking out all the new updates for Star Citizen as then have came out. Can't say as I'm really impressed as of yet by what's available, nothing really groundbreaking for me yet, but I suppose time will tell. I wish I could check out a few other ships as all I have is an Aurora and it seems pretty basic... Would also like to try out missiles too but don't have those either. Are they high off-borsight capable or do you have to point your ship right at them to fire? Do they require a radar lock or do they have their own seeker and it automatically locks on to the nearest/largest target? The main thing i'm interested in is how all these different gameplay options will integrate and interact with each other and how seamless it will be. As that seems to be the big deal about Star Citizen, not necessarily all of the individual modules but the whole package. FPS module is least interesting one for me. I'd much rather get a large ship and unleash hell on someone with railguns and missiles. Why can't I wear that? \|\| My Fanclub

Awesome, sounds kind of like the R-73 or AIM-9X.... You just look at the target, lock him and fire away. I do that all the time in DCS with my Su-27 and R-73s.
