Star Citizen, Roberts Space Industries - Chris Roberts' life support and retirement fund [2012-]
- Thread starter green.pixel
- Start date
1. This is the first bigger and playable military ship
2. The Hammerhead is made as an anti-fighter but not to battle against other large ships.
3. He had mostly the standard armament, which is mainly intended for smaller ships. Because of the many same weapons the effects look more monotonous.
4. Bad tactics and communication
5. In 3.4 the ships will become slower
6. What should one also be able to do in a turret?
7. New and advanced shield effects (planned) can make it look more existing
Of course CIG has still to improve the fight, especially for big ships. Fights will probably get more easily with the changes of the flight model (3.4). Otherwise they have to make visual changes. Shields should signal how good the condition is depending on color, effect etc. Projectile hits etc. should cause more appealing effects on shields and armour. But it shouldn't be too colourful and comic-like either. Then the explosion of a big spaceship should be announced and they should also be epic to look at. That alone would improve a lot.
I tested some Arena Commander and as far as combat is concerned Star Citizen is at the moment one of the least pay to win games I know. The gap between players could not be bigger. This is so abnormal most people cannot even imagine it. There are pilots who play alone and with weaker ships against 10 enemies with better ships and they still leave the match with 40/3. If this stays Star Citizen is going to be a splatterparty for most but not one of the beautifull kind.

I know 
(the Freelancer changed a bit as well. See 6:43)
Since 3.3 this game feels better than ever. Sure there may be many bugs but it is playable. Slowly it becomes suitable for the masses. Since the weekend there is been a Server problem which may be fixed today.
Telemetry page: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/telemetry
Current minimum system requirements:
-GTX 1060 with 6Gb VRAM
-FX 8350 Eight-Core Prozessor
-16 GB
-SSD
Current recommended system requirements:
-GTX 1080
-Ryzen 7 1800X Eight-Core Prozessor
-16 GB
-SSD

First PTU wave can test it now
Lorville
3.3.5 Lorville city map
Hurston
Earlier I saw a fleet of Hammerheads landing outside the gates of the city. Seeing a fleet of capital and combat ships landing at the same time was one of the most impressive sightings I have seen in this game. Especially since it wasn't scripted by the game. I explored a little outside and then, from nowhere, many ships with players came slowly from the sky (about 13 ships in total ~ 3xHammerheads, 1xStarfarer Gemini, 1xConstellation, 3xHornets, 2x Gladius, 1xVanguard, 1xAvenger, 1xProspector). And from two of the Hammerhead spaceships came players with ground and hover vehicles.

I don't think there will be much of an improvement in terms of performance over the just released Alpha 3.3 (last week Friday). From 3.2.2 to 3.3 the performance improved by about 80 % in FullHD. This currently allows 60fps for many players in most areas except Levski and Lorville. In UHD I wouldn't expect 40fps at all in this game. Especially not in Lorville. There is still a lot to be optimized and thats also listed in the roadmap.

Faceware is actually immersive for the game. It works with every camera (better are cameras with more Hz and which recognize the players head/face well in the dark).

Whats you name on Spectrum? Mine is
and you can contact me.
I think that a high RAM clock rate (like 4000 Mhz) and an overclocked CPU (like 5 Ghz) are even more important. With thats its possible to get 50-60 frames per second on Lorville (1440p etc.).

Wow those graphics look like they came out of X3's expansions almost 10 years ago.
And who does an action reel for a marketing video without enabling antialiasing nowadays?
I hope they at least got super focused on improving gameplay and stability. I heard the last X Rebirth was critically panned for stability issues.
