Yes because other games are actually good games completely filled with predatory microtransactions and gacha mechanics. New unit always better than old unit and etc...

In regards to crafting I wish they look at Star Wars galaxies' system where the material that you gather (metals, fibres, gas, etc) have variable quality which impacts the end product. Imagine players are able to craft shield component of better quality than what's in the stores. Plus the best crafters were well known around their servers. It adds so much to the social aspect of the game, not just the gameplay loop.

Star Citizen is noted for being one of the highest-funded crowdfunding projects, having raised over US$700 million as of May 2024. In addition to crowdfunding, marketing is funded through external investment, having received US$63.25 million as of March 2020.

I like the idea, that when your LTi ship blows up - you request a replacement and an order is made for a player to fulfil/make that ship and deliver it to a location. Had not really considered a player could craft a better ship than the store. Not sure how I feel about that. I do like the idea a crafted ship could come with the components you have specked.

I've said it before, and I'll continue saying it, but we need items to matter, more than just "I need ammo" or "I need armor". In EVE, at least 90% of ALL ITEMS in game can be melted down to "crafting" resources. This means that even a heap of underpowered, or "worthless" items can be turned into a useful component or even an entire ship. I have personally constructed battleships (the largest non capital class ship in EVE) with little more than "worthless loot" collected from PVE ratting. This means that there is always a derived player demand to every such item for its melted value. To add to this, I sincerely believe that once we go 1.0 live release, "owning" a ship or fps gear in Star Citizen should not mean that you can endlessly spawn it from a hangar, but instead that you own a blueprint to make that thing. This way, if you blow up your Idris, it's not just a respawn timer or expidition fee, but also resources you need to collect or have on hand. "Destruction matters" is one of the pillars of EVE and I believe a good sandbox space simulator of any kind. Maybe it's too late to move to blueprints, but I think it would correct a lot of the problems we're all seeing staring us in the face for release...

I love the eve online talk. Been playing it again recently it still never fails lol. Such a gold space spreadsheet game.

I understand the trains don't work with server meshing but what's stopping them from let's say setting the server boundary at the end of the train station so the train in its entirety is in one server along with the residential section Of Area 18?

The issue with server meshing is the server/s must be able to support the entire population of all of the other nodes in the same shard. For that reason the server cap needs to be a fraction of load compacity incase the shard population moves all to one location that would be on the same server node.

I am interested in them slowing weapon projectile speeds rather than buffinh torps to be too fast. I think slower weapon speeds might help woth some of the lack of agility issuues with master modes too?

My take on what REALLY needs to be in before the game feels like an MMO: player activity NEEDS to be directed towards specific areas with an actual reason to group and collaborate. At this point im just salvaging, doing ERT's, bunkers.. solo, solo, and solo. a buggy event once every blue moon does not an MMO make. so yeah, nonstop, dynamic group events which gets players together (be it co-op play or pvp) is the only thing that's needed at the moment.

I have to agree with Croncy about the $700 million in the tracker not being what CIG has spent. At the end of 2022, the CIG financial report stated that over the life of the project, CIG had spent $630 million, with almost $130 million of that coming in 2022. If spending remained the same, that means total spending on the project was $760 million at the end of 2023. Projecting out a little further, it is likely CIG has spent over $800 million developing Star Citizen and Squadron 42 since April 2012.

people really overhype the whole vehicle (not ship) repair facility stuff on the Ironclad. The Carrack, Crucilbe and some other deep space explorer ships also all have "crafting" rooms in them that were advertised during their concept sales so thats nothing really new with even one of the catterpillar module concepts they showed off years ago being a dragonfly workshop. Technically even the vulture and Reclaimer have "crafting tables" now but those two weren't advertised with it during their sales. Back then they just reffered to them as repair rooms because back then outright crafting wasn't planned to be in the game, even though the Carrack has literal 3d printers in there. As for bases, they have already said that there will be basically cargo level base building for small bases which wouldn't require specialised ships/modules, vehicles for up to medium bases, the galaxy basebuilding module for up to large and the pioneer for up to xl bases so plenty of options for anything between solo players and big orgs.

I'm really worried if they can push the performance of the servers up with server meshing split. Notice how we already have split many services from the old servers, like shops, asops, inventory etc. And despite having those separate now, we do not see even one server FPS as the lowest standard now. Before the split server FPS was as low as 4 and now guess what, it's still as low as 4 FPS. How is that possible?

simplest crafting things are crafted items are after market parts. Insurance pays for things through primary companies and the companies in star citizen have been selling civilian versions of ships. players able to craft higher grade parts or overclocking existing parts would be aftermarket and not covered in insurance and im sure most parts will degrade over time either way. partially why i am starting to consider placing part of my ship gameplan to things that use industrial parts to conserve my military grade components.

A long long time ago, they talked about insurance. The 3 they had planned were Hull Insurance, Upgrade/Component Insurance, and Cargo Insurance. LTI was/is planned to only apply to Hull Insurance. If I remember correctly they planned to have Insurance tied to Security level too. So like the price of Insurance would be cheapest if you only want High Sec coverage but get a bit costly with coverage down to say Low Sec. I Think no insurance would cover Null sec except maybe Hull Insurance. But if the ship was destroyed outside of the hull insurance coverage you can still claim it back but pay a penalty for being out side of the coverage scope or something like that. Same thing if your insurance lapses you can renew the insurance and pay a penalty and get it back.

@Noskavian

Ай бұрын

Note: this was also back when CIG was very anti-crafting and said there will never be crafting in the game. Obviously, that has changed. So no idea if Crafted components will be covered by insurance or not.

For meshing, I think they are sticking with 100 per server, BUT you may have more servers per system. 100 per and most likely a server or two per landing zone being highly dependent on AI density. It really will be teased out based on the entity count. Maybe this would get you 200-400 per system, 400-800 for Pyro and Stanton. 400 per system is 3x more than we have now. That will be a huge difference. Server costs are not cheap so they do not want to have to pay for 10+ servers per shard. Also I don't understand why one feels we need to have constant interaction to be fun. This is not WoW or other MMO's. This is the vastness of space. It may actually be detrimental with players playing the game like Sea of Thieves, or other MMO's. Going to be an issue with players holding up hangers and more. Also the assumption is that SC will have the player base volume to warrant the server costs.

1:13:28 I love when this guy comes on, Trini is such a good accent

Watching this late. But for the question of, what is required for 1.0 (release). Honestly, AI/NPC crew has to come. I’m not a solo player having solo cope, I play with groups, but I’ve seen time after time games die due to not catering to the solo player base, they are the larger player base. Of course they can’t expect to solo everything, but if at least those needs aren’t met after engineering, solo players will just find a new game

I want a tool we're ppl can shere ownership of a ship. I mean of you Farm IT together why only one should have it ?

CIG will never allow crafting to give player produced ships an edge over bought ships while the funding is by selling ever new and better ships.

For me, 4.0 is the tech functioning properly. But before leaving 4.x, It would have to be it finalized, i.e: each planet has its own server, each planet area has its own server and all the space between has its own server. So crusader is 1, yela, daymar, celin, seraphim, and all the space in the crusader system except the planet crusader itself is another system, and all the space around planet systems is another, so cru-l1 mic-l2 or the aren't? Halo is all another server

Crafted components must not be lost on vehicle death because these customizations are what attaches the human player to their vehicles and to the game. Why? Despite the highly customizable avatar appearances, players can't attach to them because they have perma-death. This leaves only their favorite vehicles left for attachment. The attachment is necessary for player retention and for the player to feel invested in something. As of right now, without the rare crafted components, there's no reason to continue playing the game beyond the first death of the spaceman.

People keep comparing Star Citizen budgets to the budgets of game production. Star Citizen is mainly the development of a game/server engine with accompanying content generation tools. I suspect Star Citizen is going to be like Doom 3; a full-featured tech engine showcase (id Tech 4) with the intended profit being mainly from the engine licenses it leads to rather than the game itself. Id Tech 4 had stiff competition, but CIG is still ahead on the network side. The main issue I see is how the planet population tools compare to those for Unreal Engine made by both in-house and its large developer community. So, how much does it cost to make a state of the art game engine?

I think you might be harboring unrealistic expectations about 4.0. IMO even if it's a shard with only two servers, one for Pyro and one for Stanton with a jump gate seamlessly connecting the two of them, that qualifies as 4.0. Anything more than that would be appreciated, but isn't necessary. I also feel like comparisons to 3.0 are missing the mark a bit. Server meshing, Pyro, jump gates, etc. conversations have become some saturated that we don't feel anticipation for them any more, and instead we're asking, "Okay, but what else is there?". While I understand that mentality, I think it's causing us to forget how monumental it will be to have those pieces of the game actually in LIVE and working.

I don't think missiles should get less realistic. They should get more realistic. Without atmosphere they should be limited in range only by the sensors but need more fuel to maneuver. In atmosphere they have an easyer time maneuvering but have to fight back against air resistance thus burning fuel the whole time. Maybe have some fire and forget missiles that display a warning for the whole time and some fox 3 type missiles that don't alert the target until they are close but you have to keep the lock.

Literally got stuck in a tram on orison for 30 minutes.

I honestly really don't care about the player count once static server meshing goes live and I really hope they don't push it right to the limit again so that everything ends up were we are right now again, I just want to have (working) NPCs actually populate the servers finally as CIG has always claimed they would eventually be basically 90% of the server population. Even if they doubled or trippled the player count the world would still feel pretty much empty outside of LZs or hotspots like GH, JT etc. People like Summit wouldn't be bored to death from waiting an hour for a single player to get pulled out of QT if they could pull out NPCs much more frequently and industrial/cargo oriented players wouldn't always have to be loot pinatas for pirates so they can get any of their gameplay fix, while also finally having some pressure by AI pirates put on solo miners/haulers as well, which could revive combat/assist beacons and mercenary missions as well.

Missiles slow for servers, same as MM ships

Get that man a medipen.

ENGINEERING: imo I think stock components should have the most resilience, but least performance, so that the players who DON'T want to play engineering are not as impacted by the engineering mechanic. But players who want to play engineering, can upgrade their components to be much better, and since they are already swapping components, they will be able to repair and replace them as a reward for that better performance. Forcing players who don't want to play engineering, to do engineering, is a very bad idea and bad game design.

15:37 ... Slow? sh*t some of the missiles would pass to be on a disability pension now in that patch.

The fact that missiles in a game that's set thousands of years into the future, move slower than missiles TODAY irl... Makes no sense at all. Missiles should move crazy fast. Should be nearly impossible to outrun a missile if there's nothing between you and the missile coming toward you.

We need a garbage cleanup system similar to Space Engineers, but instead of deletion, it just gets offloaded into long-term storage and removed from being calculated on the server until someone gets within 1000km of the asset whatever it may be, say an abandoned ship or what have you.

The argument regarding military ships is the same as mining or cargo…leverage numbers (escorts). So “more” lesser ships could overcome any one F7A. Not everyone needs a trophy. It’s not just US military, any military should be more powerful than its civilian competitors. Otherwise why even bother making a big deal about a ship, and having a 5 week event is meaningless if it’s too similar to anything else. If something more powerful comes along that’s fine, I would not ask to make the new ship weaker or the old ship stronger. From reading the comments and Spectrum I hear influencers crying more than anyone else. Also, didn’t A1 just put out a vid disproving how “god like” this ship is?

Easy solution for ship crafting: You can't craft a ship without blueprint. You earn blueprint of particular ship only if You buy it in pledge stor or in game, ant then You can even buy an insurance for crafted ship, and even sell crafted ship for other player, but crafted ships does not provide blueprint. Then we can think about engineering skill. Only skilled engineers will build better ships than base ones. This will connect also to facilities, resources and so on, so If You want to build a ship You need proper base with workshop and hangar, so building ships from scratch will be come an engame. Players without proper base still can buy Basic ships and upgrade them in personal hangars adding better components, maybe tuning up thrusters, painting, upgradeing other stuff like capacitors, maybe even hardpoints.

yea, though ship crafting for complex ships should be complex but it isnt a skilltree thing but an actual player skill thing and maybe (like in real life) if a part is not the very same as another you need to tune them slightly differently for the same results (think of the mining gadgets, maybe in a similar way)

Insurance on crafted ships SHOULD be a thing, but there should be a baseline quality of the crafted ship to insure it. If a ship made from a blueprint (and blueprints should be earnable via rep through a faction, instead of a pledge/bought in game) comes in too far under or over a certain "quality" after production, it can't be insured. If it's too crappy, it's just an utter mess and insurance doesn't want to touch it. If it's too much better than the baseline purchasable option, insurance doesn't want to handle sourcing the high-quality replacement materials. This would give crafters a reason to make a good product to sell it, but also make the REALLY good quality ones that you feel risk, taking out of the hangar.

You can create ship hulls Up to the point where you can make a full ship.... After that, you specialise in Light fighter... Heavy Fighter and each Frame you make has more HP than the last... Each full has better armour etc. All of the early frames you make are stock... And you just sell them on to level up you crafting skills or send them to the Org to make one use ships... Even if it's the blueprint levels up? Each time used, the process gets better.... Sale of BPs is restricted by Rep... Outsourcing Ship frames to rookie crafter... Oh man..> I need to lie down.... This is too much

Without he cargo portion of he patch why even imply you've got a patch. Who cares about anything else in he patch. CIG misses every time. Chris Robert's needs to be pulled off the project so an adult can run the company.

Simple solution for the ship crafting - Ships are crafted at a baseline. It's improved components that make them better. You can buy a ship from a crafter, maybe for less than what it costs at New Deal. That makes the crafter money, that gets you a discount. However, you buy crafted components, and when they're fully blown up/not repaired? They're dead. You have to replace them. And you have to get a crafter to make new, also good ones. That keeps the economy moving. Stuff like Croncy said - 3% extra capacitor, 5% extra shield HP, etc? Those can all be handled on a component level. The ship market persists due to the possible discount, or maybe someone having a blueprint for a ship that is scarce (if they ever implement a supply situation for those ships), but the real improvements come from what you put IN that ship.

missiles should be buffed and balanced with price!!! real life missiles are i win buttons but our military will seek cheaper resolutions to dealing with a target. as i was battlefield tactician and i can make my own calls when using artillery or smaller arms but the bigger the boom the higher the rank you need to use it!!!! and the higher rank it takes the longer it takes to get approval.... and approval is based on funding!!!!! if we didnt have a budget we wouldnt need a maned military!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we can use big booms to solve all our issues lol.... when i approved small arms it was for smaller softer targets when we used our smallest missiles it was an i win button our targets dont exist anymore! this game is supposed to be SIM based so we should have far more deadly missiles but they should cost millions like you you be able to buy 2 titans for the price of 1 size 9 missile if your a single player and you cant afford missiles then get better or make better decisions.... we need missiles to be a decision that should not be made lightly! they all should be fast they all should be very accurate there should be a way to rid of them but what they should not be is super cheap and non effective.. just look at avenger 1 and his entire corp think missiles are a joke and prefer to fly ships that gun because they can make guns work!!!! and pilot well enough that 99.99999% of missiles will never hit their ships as a military tactician and watching technology advance the US military i can say with almost certainty that lasers will be just about the only weapon of the 900 year future as missles and bombs get rendered useless to lasers being effective as killing other weapon types at speed of light. i know there are ignorant opinions that feel otherwise but im a subject matter expert trying to help CIG have an easier time balancing the SIM

The current prices for missiles are too low, that much i agree with, but the idea to make torpedos more expensive than some ships is absolute bs.

Building interiors were paused to work on distribution centers instead

There is no speculation on the basics. Read what they wrote, "Reworking the Transit System used for TRAMS and ELEVATORS to be compatible with SERVER MESHING as well as generally more robust" This means that TRAMS and ELEVATORS will be the transition points between servers, otherwise they are working just fine without server meshing. So if they were not going to be the transition points, then they wouldn't need to be made compatible with server meshing. So areas that are separated by trams and elevators can be split off into their own server if needed. I'm supposing (yes, here I am speculating) that trams and elevators they will be the smallest unit of meshing for 4.x and might be further worked down to the door level, it's unlikely that you need more than 100-200 players in one 'area' at this point in the game's path. For 4.0 it will be STATIC server meshing, meaning they will just manually allocate servers for planets/space/moons. So maybe 20 servers per 'shard' to start with. That would give 2000 players per shard (max players, and under max load, so probably not very playable). It would be amazing if they can actually acheive that for 4.0, with DYNAMIC Server Meshing to follow in a 4.x patch, which means the server will dynamicly split off more servers for smaller sections as they fill up with players, and also shut down unused servers, kind of 'recombine' an area back into less servers as the players leave/logoff. Really hoping they can hit the target with this one.

I have still been unable to get my friends to stick around to play Star Citizen while I've been able to spend hundreds of hours with them in Elite. I don't want to see you guys get stuck in this bubble where your glasses are too rose-tinted towards SC to the point where you're unable to look at the project from an outside perspective and relate to the broader gaming audience.

Elite Dangerous, EVE Online, Star Citizen, etc... etc... ALL have good and bad. And, all have their place. The less Star Citizen is like any other existing game, the better. No fan wants another me-too game.

@@zantrag What on earth is a "me-too" game? And no, I don't think "being less like any other existing game" makes it better just because it's different.

I was actually enjoying Star Citizen again, in 3.23.1; BUT then 1a drops, and we're back to bug city.

video games are not meant to balanced . Balance is boring - you would be complaining if it was. The game is constantly changing, there should never be a complete balance - there are too many different items to even expect this . Everything should always be in flux and the variety is a good thing. There would be no progression if things were. Things are constantly improving. When things improve other things should become obsolete and left behind. If you want to balance. make everything in game ' THE SAME '. It will be much like a bunch of race cars at an event, 4 brands racing the same car, with the same engines and drive lines, which have have different fibre glass shells to make the aesthetics different. you guys sound like winer's carrying on about the exclusivity. I feel like everyone just gets on the META train, YOU don't need meta items to kill . If i kill you with the meta gun its the same as if i kill you with non meta guns - your dead you don't need a meta. It was almost impossible for myself to do the xeno missions with master modes to obtain an f7a token, having only returned 8 days ago from 6 years break. I achieved it with considerable effort and sacrificing my time, getting involved, making friends and helping others. I did it in 8 days with no sleep and alot of disappointments due to constant bugged servers and random event. WHY SHOULD someone who hasn't put the effort in, have access to the same ship without making some sort of effort or sacrifice themselves. So i don't think the F7a should be available to buy at all - It should be an exclusive item to those players willing to do the work. It was/is available to all players. players who put in effort through content like it has been implemented.I don't think it should be balanced down to appease the mob. sure fix the bug. but military is military. civilian is civilian. and in my real life experience miiltary stuff is very industrial in strength . not in the agricultural sense where its just slapped together and works. military is purposeful - no gloss - full function, well built, durable and exceeds the capability and specifications of anything civilians have access to. provided it is maintained, the nature of military hardware reliability however is generally temperamental due to HIGH maintenance requirements. those maintenance requirements generally exceed the ability and resources of the average person. anyway enjoyed your podcast . cheers {edit for spelling corrections}

Really..." like a bunch of race cars at an event, 4 brands racing the same car, with the same engines and drive lines, which have have different fibre glass shells to make the aesthetics different" .... That would be NASCAR. lol!

This will be a redondant unsolvable problem in all the life of Star citizen.. each an every time they will add or change something.. they will tank down the fps.... it will never be solved.

It feel like they reached the limits of the game engine. December 2024 will probably makes us all realize that.
