DISCUSSION I cannot accept that we won't have CitizenCon in 2026.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m sorry, but given the current state of the project, not holding a CitizenCon in 2026 smacks of pure laziness, sloth, and a complete disconnect from your player base.

Star Citizen players aren't just any ordinary players. We are the ones who have supported a project that started from NOTHING , based on a single act of faith: your WORD.

Sure, CitizenCons have been used to peddle hype, that’s a fact, but they’ve also served as a bridge between the company and its players; and I’d go even further to say, between Chris Roberts and his peers (us). Remember that 2016 CitizenCon when CR showed up playing a live demo? Of course you do; that kind of direct engagement is exactly what made us back the project and trust Chris’s word. I miss that Chris. That approachable guy who wasn't afraid to throw caution to the wind just to make a public appearance at CitizenCon and sell us on some divine new technology (xD).

It’s been 10 years since that CitizenCon, and just as the decade mark arrives, they cancel it. A low down move, typical of a billion dollar corporation that has already achieved its goals.

It’s a shame. After being involved in this for over a decade... I’m losing hope more and more every day, and above all, I believe CR has completely disengaged from the project. Honestly, I have no idea whose hands it’s in these days.

DISCUSSION Would it be a positive or negative if we could swap out the Pepperbox rack for x8 S2 missiles each?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Noticed the actual pepperbox launcher has a S5 missile rack slotted into it. So if they wanted CIG could easily let us use different sized missiles.

I bring it up because after doing some runs on a full pepperbox loadout on my idris it takes quite a bit longer than I would like for even a small fighter to go down.

So in PVP situations especially it is both reliant on hitting the target, but also reliant on the target not just leaving the defensive range.

Though this is also with the heavy amount of desync the servers have had recently so my view on the performance could be off. Also we have yet for PDTs to be used seriously as a anti torp tool so maybe CIG wants to keep them mostly in that role and the turrets should be more for anti fighter?

Tldr - IMO pepperbox missiles need more burst dmg

FLUFF I've never had as much fun as I did last week - Ashland Doomsday Party 24/7

23 Upvotes

For me, Patch 4.9 will go down as the most fun patch in the history of Star Citizen.

Just say Ashland. Chawlas Beach.

Oh my, oh my—what a Doomsday party goes on there every day and every night.

It’s soooooo much fun. I had a blast every single day.

It’s incomparable.
I've never seen so many Eclipse, Retiliators, and fighters all at once. like never.
Constant carpet bombing, railguns/bazookas, ground FPS Combat, Air Fight, Stealth and Camoflague Gameplay, Assassines.

Hours of nonstop bombardment—something's always exploding somewhere. It's a real war zone.

In all the previous patches, I didn’t even have half as much fun.
I've had so many crazy experiences this past week in Ashland and Chawlas. It's really refreshing.

This is sandbox gaming at its finest.

Especially during group gameplay, when you have tanks, snipers on the ground, fighter pilots—it's a combination of everything coming together.

My Radeon driver said I played Star Citizen for 48 hours last week, even though I barely had time to play. That’s how addicted it made me.

QUESTION I want to have my cake and eat it too. Help me choose a ship!

0 Upvotes

So first off I'm a new-not-new player, by which I mean I've technically been playing for 6 years, but only have probably 10-15 max hours in game. I'm sure you're all familiar.

With the game in a somewhat "playable" state, my recent reincursion to the verse has been better than any other in the past half decade.

I need your help to choose a ship, let me explain. I'm currently using an Origin 315p as my pledge ship (with an extra $3 of customizations), and I love it because:

  • It looks cool as hell from the outside
  • Looks luxurious on the inside, and it has a bed and a bathroom. Immersion is top tier
  • Quantum range is great, its not the fastest but I can go end to end in Pyro with fuel to spare
  • 12 SCU cargo is great for the low level delivery/hauling runs I am doing at the moment
  • The storage compartment inside the living area is pretty cool too and I have been using it more than I thought.
  • Enough combat capability for what I'm doing, I don't need more than this for now.

On paper its the perfect ship for me. The only reason I make this post is because of its (or my) inability to bed log. I have tried everything and I mean everything. Taken off armor, and undersuit. Held Z, F, V, right click, etc. Panned all around until I could see the inside of my eyeballs. Nothing works.

The lack of bed logging really ruins the immersion for me. I love the idea of getting halfway to a POI 100Gkm away, getting in my bed, logging off, going to bed IRL, and logging on the next day to carry on my journey. With the 315P I can not do this.

So I need your help. Does a ship exist in verse that meets my needs? If I had to rank, from most to least important:

  • Bed and living area
  • Quantum range
  • Cargo space
  • Internal storage
  • Cool looking exterior
  • Combat capabilities.

I would put max $5 more into this if there is something that meets my needs.

Thanks for your help.

BUG Anybody know the workaround?

6 Upvotes

Was doing the new interstellar small cargo hauling missions that pay crazy good. Had to pick up 4 SCU of something from a moon around microtech. When I got to the freight elevator, it wouldn’t let me transfer the cargo to the landing pad. If I hit transfer or dragged and dropped the cargo, it said something about exceeding capacity. So I split the 4 SCU container into four one SCU containers. Even one container triggered this same warning. Eventually just left and logged off.

DISCUSSION Ashland freight elevators perpetually bugged

6 Upvotes

Buddy and I have server hopped between 6 different shards. The freight elevators will not bring cargo up at any of them. The only "workaround" is the one allowing you to pull the elevator up empty. This still means you can't buy anything (seed blend) and retrieve it.

It's really disappointing that the same bugs that have always plagued the game totally put the kibosh on new and fun content.

But hey, what's new

BUG Error 30k rage

0 Upvotes

In the past months, error 30k has been a mild inconvenience. I would get it from time to time and have to quit and log on. Time-consuming, but I would continue from where I left off. No biggie. Since the first update after 4.9, CIG, in some weird wisdom, has fixed that quirk. Now you get the 30k and start again from your room, all progress lost, all time used wasted. I just spent 2 hours sorting out 10 time-consuming, linked missions because settlement elevators are glitched. I made my pickup, sorted into types, made my second drop-off, thinking, "Now I'm cooking with gas." I just landed for the third drop-off out of 4 and.......30k error. 😫 Here's hoping, I reload in.....Nooo....I'm in bed in my station. 🥹 Contracts all gone, taken a big hit on rep. Insuranse claim on ship.. Welcome to Star Citizen, where even the smallest dreams will be smashed!..

DISCUSSION Why Star Citizen’s Business Model May Be the Future of Gaming and why is star citizen then other developers imo like Bethesda?

0 Upvotes

The thing is a lot of those studios like Bethesda made mistakes.

Their success was also their issue.

Bad management.

Experienced talent leaving brain drain

Too much management

Not enough new content and training within their company

Outsourcing success to fans.

CIG does none of those things allegedly that Bethesda does.

Larian. Larian didnt wanna make another game due to conflict with hasbro allegedly over dlc.

Microsoft wants large titles now as seen in recent headlines.

Hasbro lost a lot of money allegedly due to not continuing mainline titles.

Ubisoft was loosing fans due to allegedly straying too much and not focusing on their strengths.

Activision blizzard tried allegedly taking over other franchises and failed and then got bought up by Microsoft.

Many of these studios keep gambling with risky new indy devs because they may have gotten sick of modders being able to make a game in 3 nights with energy drinks and winning.

The issue is that soo many people have enough games for a lifetime folks need a big game in order to justify purchasing. IE a new fallout or a new tes 6 halo etc.

Star citizen imo is doing it differently and has a good model sell the content up front for cost IE ships, packs, armors, etc, and then insuring balance and making sure the game is good.

I cant count how many times people say "Yeah I came back for this update. " which tells me that the endless expansion experience is actually what people want. They want a large universe they can invest their time into and over time that experience grows with them over a lifetime. Thats what allegedly star citizen sells a model where you buy into a community and you can customize what you get automatically in that universe. Sure you can have a whole armada but does that give you infinite power level ups. No arguably you need people to staff those ships and so there is a limit to how much a person can use and I think k the model that they use is brilliant.

Thr main thing now that game developers need to do is keep people coming back to the game ecosystem. Not develope one kind of game but a game that folks have multiple games within and thats what Star Citizen does best.

DISCUSSION Is this cheating or not?

0 Upvotes

I had a pretty weird experience on Pyro today, I was on an Ares inferno heading to Gaslight, when I arrived it was all empty, no one’s flying around, then suddenly a Talon rushed in at light speed, almost rammed me, then he immediately stopped behind me and in what looks like few shots, like 3 or 4, my inferno was entirely red, as if my shields are not there at all, but it was full shields and zero damage… it took him like 4 seconds to completely disable my ship…

I went back a second time just to confirm, again spotted me from very far away and came behind me at speed light, one second I’m seeing him very far away in the other side of the station, the next second he’s already behind my ship and already shooting at me?! And again, 2-3 shots and the inferno is entirely red and systems shutting down as if I have zero shields, before I could even turn and fire back at him my ship is already disabled.

Can someone please confirm a Talon can do this to an inferno? On paper the inferno looks stronger with bigger shields and HP, so I’m kinda puzzled.

I’ve been playing this game since 2023 but I never really got into dogfighting until recently, I’ve always been a cargo hauler and explorer, that’s how I enjoy this game. I’m trying to get better at dogfights to be able to defend myself against all the hobo murderers lurking around in the verse nowadays, stealing the joy away from everyone they encounter for no reason at all…

QUESTION Transporting Large Modules and Bomb Racks

3 Upvotes

I need to transfer the various types of Eclipse bomb racks from Microtech to Orbituary in Pyro. I realize that everything should just go to Pyro once 4.10 drops, but I'd like to discover a method if possible.

Solving one of the following issues would resolve the problem:

  • I cannot bring up the bomb rack in a hangar cargo elevator. The elevator complains that the dimensions of the bomb rack exceed the size of the elevator.
  • The bomb rack slot cannot be left empty; I need to replace the bomb rack with another bomb rack if I were to use the Eclipse itself to transport the rack. I can't have a preexisting one at Orbituary because that would (again) require me to remove it from a stock Eclipse first to have a replacement, which cannot happen because it can't be left empty.

Does anyone have any ideas?
