Bro, you are dropping content so quickly. Thanks for all of it, love it!

This is the critical thinking and historical knowledge I need for eps of SCL. It can be good info but it's easy to zone out, miss key points, forget context, follow the trends of the moment, etc.

Restricted airspace is an easy solution to fix ground vehicles. No need to build a fancy structure around a mission just to make ground vehicles relevant. Make it restricted airspace and make them hard so that you can't just do it in a Tumbril or something but you need varied ground vehicles. You could also add AI ships flying in to create gameplay round the AA versions of the GVs.

@@wraith511802003 Hence the restricted airspace concept. You don't have to spend a bunch of resources (people) to create some structure that only serves to provide a vehicle mission playground.

Hope the SRV will get some missions, feels like a niche ship right now

Space Engineers has a gunbrick meme. You will find players that are totally against weapons on non combat vehicles and players that are pro weaponization of everything. Realistically it's the kind of setting were arming everything if possible is a better choice if you have PvE settings on and definitely necessary in multiplayer. I see SC as kind of the same setup, it's like the Wild West out there.

I'm all for it. Even if they did something simpler like ensuring everything at least had the hard points for a weapon attachment. It might not make sense for Argo to have its mpuv come with guns but having a hard point available to slap some bulldogs or whatever on there would give everything a little more value and gameplay possibilities.

Racing thought. Tuning. Tune engine to be really fast with high acceleration at the expense of awful fuel economy. Makes it so you can take into the verse with guns, but not with its racing speed and agility. Thoughts?

Also tuning around zero g vs in atmosphere. Short term performance vs long term reliability. Would really open up engineering and racing gameplay.

To fix ground vehicles being needed just make a long road from new babbage leading to a huge UGF/distro center datacenter that is 100% locked down from air space lockdown using turrets, missles etc etc etc. Force players to drive to get there for 1st leg of data running missions. Perfect place for ground ambushes by dusters, creatures (if vehicles get disabled and players have to walk rest of way), bug army ambushes, pirates, bounty hunters etc etc etc....2nd leg could be using MSR and other data runners to transport data someplace else off planet, maybe into pyro etc etc etc

The updated UI introduced various issues such as removing the altimiter which was replaced with a number, but on some ships that number is either tiny or is superimposed over other UI elements / reflections from cockpit so you cannot read the number. Improved to useless ... which will certainly be fixed.

I also have idea on how CIG can tweek master modes. Create new Arena Commander PvE and PvP ship to ship combat mode where players can tweek settings and create new public experiments and upvote or down vote each. Kind of like everyone upvotes ships each year for best ships at IAE. More experimentation and feedback from players and CIG together Instead of CIG getting passionate overwhleming "feedback" let the players contribute feedback by actually testing feedback iteratively

So frustrating hearing things like "they couldn't slow the game down with the mechanics they had so they forced it to slow down with MM." Yes, they could have. The same way we slow down fighter pilots, their body. Blackout/readout in space is a thing. You fly your ship from 1200m/s one way then whip it around and burn it to 1200m/s another way, well now you're blocked out for 30sec and probably dead. They could've fixed this easily. Adjust the G limit pilots can handle. Give G suits a G rating. Make a G med pen to increase it temporarily. So many fkn ways. Lol

No, that's a terrible idea on practice. Having people just die from just flying their ships fast is a terrible gameplay mechanic. The flight system is so much better now. Before it was all jousting and now it feels much better. Now it feels like you are fighting a ship and not a pip.

Long distance Probing. That's what she said.

I miss ehen decoupled mode let you rotate the ship without changing trajectory. Im still not sure why id be using now

For me, master modes isn’t as bad as it was in the eptu, so I am ok with it, and if under the old model if they actually made it so missiles didn’t lock on at above SCM speeds that might have helped, but they worked just fine at all speeds

why are the mole's turrets cockeyed? i didnt pay for it but some people paid real money for that ship

IMO I’ve preferred MM and think it’s actually a massive improvement and step in the right direction. Flying has been a lot better since its introduction

@Rumply

Ай бұрын

⁠MM is bad for PvP dogfighting pve it makes no difference except it is harder to mess your self up but for PvP it completely obliterates skill and is now entirely reliant on the ship you’re flying currently if you fly anything except a buccaneer you lose and in a 1v1 it’s just point and click and if you are in and multi crew ship you might as well just self-destruct as any fighter significantly out ranges and is much faster than these ships so they can do nothing it ruins all of this whilst simultaneously not fixing the problem it tried to fix being jousting and running away as you still at any time can just hold b and run in summary removed all skill screwed over multicrew ships made only one ship viable 1v1s are point and click adventure games and they didn’t fix what they wanted to in the first place accomplished absolutely nothing and ruined a good system

So... Elite solved the rearming ballistics, ages ago, and made it an internal ship function using materials you find in the verse... Like, perhaps recycled scrap canisters filled from an optional hull scraping laser device attached to ballistic weapns in an alternate firing mode... God, this game is such a Broly. It's so cool, but that's so dumb...

CIG needs to focus more on core infrastructure, systems, missions, gameloops, solar systems, content. Game balance should be done but while key pieces are still waiting to come online balance should be more basic and player driven with final feedback from CIG. See my comment below for arena commander mode that experiments witb that sandboxes 1st. Of course game needs to be fun, challenging and balanced but cig cant try balance, add something new (gameloop, process, gameplay dynamic change) and then be forced to continually rebalance I love the arena commander experiment idea in which players experiment and vote based upon results as the game continually iteratively evolves. Think of it for CIG manhours work smarter and not harder LOL

ai ships and rep and loot for bounty hunting and they probably want to add capture bountys for v2

So much busy work…..but I guess that’s just what ya gotta deal with if you wanna play a game like this. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Legal Mining missions should require actual mining to get resources. Illegal mining missions then anything goes LOL

I dont get the problem with Masster mode. It seems more intunitce to me.

The clutter is not just names... you can see it everywhere you go. Hundreds of floating icons for random shit that isnt relevant to you. Like if there are 1200 ships abandoned at a station, you see 1200 fucking markers. Its insane.

so 40 years for enough features to actually play. constantly. cool

People bring up mastermodes when youre talking about other stuff because none of that stuff matters if its in a space game where the space ships are no fun to fly. (Also recent fps changes are killing that aspect)

Mining missions sound cool...you have to pay more than what the ore is worth or have a decent reputation gain that's worth having rep. Im not mining for hours to get 3 pixels of progress in a rep grind.

I don't want the game to be balanced. Balanced is just like the word equality. Nothing will ever been equal no matter how hard we try. What I'd like to see is a ship that is the "best" from a guns perspective needs to require more maintenance, require more resources to keep rolling. Embrace the beautiful differences in things, just like in real life.

What you described you wanted is what game balancing is. Balancing is not making everything equal. In an FPS a sniper could have huge damage but its rate of fire and reload is slow, while an SMG will have massive rate of fire but far lower damage. Both suited to different situations. But neither dominating the other in all situations. If the sniper has an incredibly high reload speed AND high damage, its out of balance, thus the reload speed is nerfed to regain balance. That doesn't make it now equal to the SMG, it just makes it balanced with the SMG.
