I honestly don't see the problem. And also, low speeds really emphasize teamwork and coordination. Higher speeds would separate teams from each other and we would just have a bunch of isolated 1v1s; so I don't think they show take the speeds up to 500scm, like many people suggest.

Thanks for sharing. Hope testing goes well and the patch releases with Everything.

15:05 I agree 100% the laser (or any item) needs some kind of value in order for players to ever use it. However, the lasers already had value in making aiming without ADS easier; the only reason CIG feel the need to add value via this spread decrease idea is because their stupid dynamic crosshair has removed all of that value from lasers but the lasers are still in the game so they're trying to come up with a solution to a problem they have needlessly created for themselves. The way to give laser pointers value without annoying the sim players is to get rid of the dynamic crosshair; it's literally that simple.

I am very relieved the F-interaction system is polished from your impressions!

I wish they would copy E:D way of displaying system map as an option. It’s fast and clear to use. Far better than what we have in SC…

For the laser. It has value right now. You can quickly know where you a re firing. And a scope already has a downside. With the zoom in, you have a major blind spot. Like your vision isn't as wide, and if someone closer comes to you, then you likely won't see them at all.

I think having lasers give stat boosts is fine, and heavy optics slowing down weapon handling actually makes sense, but the light optics should have a very minimal impact. Even today, basically every gun is going to have an optic mounted if possible, so at that point in the future, it would make sense for the baseline to pretty much be aiming with an optic. Also, a thought on the rangefinding/sniper glint situation: one possible way that could implement this is by making rangefinding a manual process, doing what real rangefinders do and pulsing a laser to determine the distance to an object. Then, anyone nearby to where that rangefinding ping went off would be notified of the ping and the direction it came from (maybe specifically a combat helmet feature). This way, snipers would be able to serve other roles like scouting without giving their position away, there is still a pre-shot warning of danger, and there is more potential expression of skill for snipers in terms of preparation or experience with their rifle.

9:30 if citcon is to be believed, it looked very clean with all the new ui, so nav mode was probably built for that new ui. just have to hope we actually get it, i dont want to see the entire system when i want to go a little faster lol

I actually love the ADS removing spread completely; easy way to raise the skill ceiling and really requires learning those recoil patterns

Your experience with nav mode is interesting. A solution could be to have quantum mode be a sub section of nav mode. So when you turn on nav mode it doesn't start spooling the quantum drive right away or bring up the markers. However, having an extra button press to turn on quantum might hinder quick get aways.

Really my main complaint with the laser sight buff is that I dislike attachments providing magic effects, especially when they already serve a useful purpose. Laser sights show you where you're aiming at all times, which is incredibly useful. Scopes don't also make your gun shoot further somehow (not trying to give CIG ideas here). If we had foregrips or something, that would make a lot more sense for providing buffs like that. Also, what about the combat helmet? Does that provide a spread reduction? I don't really want to see people using combat helmets AND laser sights, just to perform at their peak. If you're doing an arcade shooter with a permanent reticle on the screen for everyone, then I agree lasers have to do something extra to justify them. edit: As for lower ADS speeds with an optic, it makes sense for any kind of scope. Red dots and holographic sights should be as fast or faster though, that's the whole point of them. Lining up iron sights is hard comparatively, and dot sights certainly don't add enough weight to justify 15%.

So the devs need more time to polish things around... thanks for the video Mike :)

The new star-map-thing really REALLY scares me

the other ship requiring nav to take off is probably starfarrer gemini. that hefty girl had trouble taking off A18 even on normal flight if not making use of rear thrust she would even have gravity weight descensions. so of combat mastery mode slows the ships down, its probably safe to assume to reach aero space to open space she would need nav flight mode. sad to hear about the ui, and other engineering test failures not allowing better fps tests. the critter hunter quests sounds cool i was wondering if they would do something like that. i know people who play valheim ect like to mark trohpy counts ect. so this is a cool quest feature to come into starcitizen. as for the update with the attachment aim down sight changes. the scopes are already slow enough under fps lag. the servers need stable fps positions before adapting timatic delays to aiming. espeically if it were already slow for some sniper rifles, then to attach a scope to any weapon reduces it by 25% like wut? that isnt good. one of the most anoying things about call of duty is the sniper and other heavy lmg weapons aim down sight times getting even worse going from 425 to 950ms or even 1142 with some sniper rifles. that isnt Role playing, that is fps hacks and delays because they dont know how to balance weapons meanwhile big weapons like rail guns and 338 lapua firearms or .50bmg do massive damages. but hear this from a realistic point of view. not gaming, but a reality! if you have an m4a1 military spec 14.5" barrel all military trim trigger components, stock, tube, hand grips with chromium/aluminum gas cover and heat shields, ect with your basic bird cage muzzles and your carry handle aim sight. the fire arm weighs about 14.5lb and with a full 40 round mag weighs around 5.4lb in .223 nato 5.56. so total weight is 19.9lb. and aim down sight from low and ready to dirrect fire, is about .455ms. now lets review a 12.5" .887mm R45A8 chromium barrel for .459x48mm aka .50cal baowulf. with a 2.5" gas capture barrel extensions with a 4.5" tanker break. total barrel length 15.9" inches, with with a 9045high carbon light mass 5.2oz bolt carrier group from a stock m4's 8.7oz. that is so much less recoil, then using a tungston mass T2 silent capture buffer and guide arm. a 3.5x swam fox prisim combat acog only weighs 9.7oz. not only is it a .50cal baowulf, but total rifle weight is 8.22lb, less recoil than an m4, and a 10 round mag is 14.4 total lb. 25% less weight with a 3.5x scope with a full .50cal magazine. being its total load weight is 25% less guess what the aim down sight time is. because of the bipod combat grip its more than 25% and more like 42% faster then a mil spec m4. being around .259ms aim down sight time. this isnt call of duty, this is real life fire arms. and why stupid stuff pisses me off. because i know and used a m4, an aug a1, and a m249 and m240b as my field service weapons more than anything else. and i own a custom .50bao with 4k dollar lmos carrier, T2 silent capture buffer, a bi-pod combat grip and 3.5x acog swam fox trihawk. where i know not just in fundamental specs, but actual practice and use of these firearms from years of experience. that .50 rig is better and faster then the mil spec m4 in every way! where 1 round is as lethal as 10 rounds of that m4, and using black tip armor piercing arounds with 485grain Primer+ rounds shooting at 2449fps... compared to the tinny .223fmj round at 1445fps. thats 178gram projectile weight x 1445fps velocity for muzzel energy. vs 550gram tunston core rounds at 2449fps. not only is it faster to draw, set up on bipod from a spring loaded kick, and has 3.5x field acquisitions with low reflex profiles... it can swiss cheese a car, or take down a bear behind the bear! so NOOOO! adding an acog or a reflective scope does not change the firearm weight all that much. you have to consider the weight value different of the firearm. to the percentage weight value added by the scope. for draw delay. meanwhile if to total firearm weight is less then an Armorlight Rifle system, or less then a Subautomatic Machine GUN... then your sniper rifle very well could have a faster aim down sight then either of those 2 other profiles rigged for more weight to manage full auto or continuous fire conditions. mean that .50bao is a full auto firearm and because the way it is modded with the light mass carrier group IT HAS LESS RECOIL THAN AN M4! so, sorry to vent and rage... but i hate when people do stupid things. even more i hate when video games try to simulate stupid things and say it is real or life like! because 1 thing is for sure, it doesn't match my gunsmithing knowledge and reality!

Reminds me of the Star Engine video, when everyone else was being wowed by the seamless travel, scale, and other things this game has had for years, while this community was freaking out over some cows.

I attempted to test out the FPS changes. I was able to get a ship, fly off, but then spent the next hour waiting for the server to recover from the many, many crashes. Had to re-accept the missions every single time. Finally was able to fly to a location with my mission, but right before I landed at the bunker, the server crashed again and my missions were lost. Had a decent amount of graphical issues too around Orison. Clearing shaders did not fix it. The mobi was nice. I did not like the new map. It was hard to use. I also found that some locations did not show up on the map. The mobi also is leaning. I couldn't see the right side of the mobi screen.

Really hope CIG don't constrain the map to that circle. What is with that? Why limit it and leave so much dead space around it? That type of design feels claustrophobic to me

Given the scope of the patch I expected a stepped implementation of features over time in Evo builds till they get the stability and the features all in without breaking everything. It's going to be better for them instead of dumping g everything

It's so hard to keep optimism with this project. CR gets his hype train going, says all this stuff will be in by the end of the following year 2024 (he said 12 months to be precise, but I'll allow him the addition month or so) and we hear that, even with these features being proofed out in SQ42 before coming to the PU, they still seem far from being tier 2 or 3 for 2024... They aren't in a state even resembling what was pandered to us during CitCon. It's very disingenuous of CR to continue selling backers a bill of goods. Just from Mike's experience, it doesn't seem like what he experienced are things that can be tweaked to make them good in a month. Some sound fundamentally bad and in need of major overhaul still...

No surprise 🤦🏼‍♂️We all know Chris is an utter liar and charlatan, what else would you expect? 🤷‍♂️

They should add a way to shoulder your weapon and aim with the laser / smart crosshair instead of the sights / scope. Like in cod. It's one of the best things ever and gives a real use to the laser without making it gamey.

My idea for Nav Mode/Quantum is that only local markers show up in Nav Mode until you enter Quantum. Entering Quantum Mode would enable all destinations in range of your Quantum Drive so you can jump to a friend, or a random location. However if you go in, and actually set a destination for Quantum that should remove all markers excluding the destination, or route. Will that happen? No. Will someone call me stupid? Probably. Does peanut butter cup ice cream fk'n slap? Yes. Yes it does.

Honestly, idk why we need dynamic cross hairs when we already have lasers. I think the dynamic cross hair should only be applied to a weapon laser (whether visible or invisible infrared). Exempli gratia: to use a dynamic cross hair on a combat helmet, one would need a weapon laser of some kind.

Im buying the watch!!

Laser being able to point aim is good value enough. Also reflex sights slowing down aiming is silly, people put reflex sights on weapons to speed up their target acquisition not slow it down.

I think it would have been good to hear how the dlss implementation was.

Yeh I heard it was in the evo build but I haven't seen any details

I'd love it if there were a chance for activists to come after you for hunting the creatures. These unique type of missions being added make me really hopeful for the game.

Finally we might be getting wildlife in sc

Is this patch coming out at the end of the quarter (=couple of days), or is it getting delayed? I never understand when Star Citizen releases. Apparantly they have 4 patches a year.

It was changed to Q2 awhile back.

Was in spectrum general chat with a guy named xeno claiming to be a dev, and said expect 3.23 to be in ptu until Christmas. Can't confirm he was a dev but I think it's realistic to expect it to a long road.

Anyone who claims to be a dev and doesn't have CIG in their name is not a dev.

The laser had value, but then they added the crosshairs..

I'm happy that we will be able to deactivate that crap! Totally hate it and will still use the laser attachments

@@s_3rog4 But the annoying part is that it will be meta to use it probably. The crosshair itself could be explained with the use of a helmet/visor, but the hit indicator and kill indicator is just ridiculus. Unless the bullet monitor the health of the target and send it to us.. Stupid the whole thing

I know it is a game, but they are the ones that went with like "half sim" thing

Oh nice, a late night video.

Still excited for the features, I'm not going to form a good opinion until we can see them in a PTU/Live build. EVO is always gonna be rough

So we get a HUD update....

Laser that works better without aiming it ok on sim part. In real life we use laser same. When you can aim with optic, you don’t need laser

on the guns it is just according to how they will balance it...sight add weight and more dimensions in real life. Same with the spread thing...I believe they are doing this do to the crosshairs to sim movement and instability of not having the gun on your shoulder. Its going to be all according to how they balance it.
