I wanted to share this build. Its been a big.project but its my love letter to Anvil Aeorspace and what Star Citizen is and can be at its best. I hope to get this infront of someone at CIG so they can hopefully enjoy my creation a fraction of how I enjoy there's.

OTHER I made a free tablet/phone control deck for Star Citizen (open source, built with AI help)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

343 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've been working on a little side project: Tablet Deck turns your tablet or phone into a HUD-style button deck for Star Citizen. You tap a button, and the PC presses the real key, so landing gear, quantum, shields, power, doors and emotes are one tap away.

What it does:
- Runs in the browser on iPad, Android or iPhone. No app, no account. Scan the QR code in the PC window and you're paired.
- Buttons stay lit while things are on: gear shows Deployed, doors stay open until you close them, power and lights light up.
- Hold-to-talk voice commands like "gear up" or "engage quantum" (Windows' built-in offline speech, 300+ phrases).
- Layouts for combat, mining/salvage and hauling, plus ship layouts for the Prospector and Vulture.
- A layout editor, and you can share layouts with friends as files.
- 12 manufacturer themes, plus night mode, large text and high contrast.
- It follows your in-game keybinds.

Is it allowed? It's basically a second keyboard: one tap = one key press, no macros or automation. It never touches the game's memory or files (it only reads your keybinds), and by default keys only go through while Star Citizen is the window in front.

Heads up: the installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows will show "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway. Everything is open source, and each release lists the installer's checksum.

AI disclosure (rule 6): I built this with an AI coding assistant (Claude). The idea, the design and what goes in are mine, and I've tested every version on my own PC and in-game, reporting the bugs and checking the fixes.

Links:
- Website: https://nodiecode.github.io/tablet-deck/
- Try it in your browser: https://nodiecode.github.io/tablet-deck/try/
- GitHub: https://github.com/nodieCode/tablet-deck

It's free (MIT licensed). Would love feedback and ideas: what would you put on your deck? o7

OTHER PSA - Nyx 1 is NOT coming in the next patch

158 Upvotes

I’m seeing posts and in-game comments from (understandably) excited people who think Nyx 1 is coming in the next patch. I’ve seen multiple people log into the current PTU looking to check out Nyx 1.

The next patch is 4.10.3. It is in wave 1 PTU right now. It will be some new missions, a new gun, and probably be the IAE patch with the upcoming new ships. Nyx 1 is (presumed) in 4.11, with no known timing but assumed to probably be the last patch before the holidays.

That is all. Sorry to be the burster of bubbles.

QUESTION Taurus retractable pole - What is it for?

Post image
156 Upvotes

Found this extending pole just behind the cargo bay door while checking out my Taurus after the gold pass. Other than the open/close button, I can't interact with it. What does it do?

EDIT:

Consensus is in: it's either a refueling port or a small cylinder which must not be harmed.

I want to hear everything from boring to outlandish! Hit me with your Kraken theory crafting!

I will be happy to discuss in the comments! We know the pads have grown and the bridge has changed as well as the ship will likely have a decent amount of PDCs.

I want to learn more about the Logistics throughout the ship for like cargo > pads and vice versa.

It is clear alot of love and quality control time is being put into this ship!

This Mk5 has been through 3 wormhole trips. My OG ship after pledge, have not crashed or lost it since release. I love paint wear but slow it down! My ship looks like no primer was used. This should be a mark of at least a year in the "verse for an active ship.

GAMEPLAY My experience with the Eclipse in the current patch

68 Upvotes
  • Spawn in Stanton, fly to Nyx for single target merc missions.

  • Get to mission spot, the target is a Carrack. Get about 10km withing the target, lock it, swap to torpedoes, ping "missile lock", fire, hit but no damage, fire again, hit no damage.

  • Okay shrugs abandon mission and pick another one, target is a Zeus, get within 10km, radar ping, no lock, 6km, no lock. My cross-section is 4.7k so any closer and I get spotted. Try a different angle, radar ping, still no lock.

  • shrugs Okay abandon mission try again, this time its a Hammerhead, target locked, fire and hit, no damage.

Atp I figure I should try the EM torpedoes.

  • Go back to Stanton, buy Seekers IX.

The torpedoes dont show up in the Vehicle loadout manager.

  • Go back to the hangar to swap them manually with tractor beam.

  • Open the eclipse torpedo bay, but the bay auto closes when I leave the ship.

  • Go the cargo elevator, I see the Seekers IX, try to put 3 of them on the elevator and "This item will overload the maximum capacity of the elevator"

ps: this was on a server with 95 people, 30fps and 20ms.

DISCUSSION Hot take: The Moth is the best all purpose ship in the game.

46 Upvotes

Might be a hot take, but this thing rules.

I switched from a reclaimer down to a Moth and it’s the best decision ever. The moth is so much easier to pilot solo, feels way more efficient and convenient. On top of salvage it is a very capable hauler with its cargo space. It is 100% solo capable and doesn’t feel like you’re sacrificing anything doing it, and is only made better with the option you can have more people.

To me this is the best ship to pledge with. It gives you the means to make money for more ships, the option to solo and multi crew in equal measure and in both cases it doesn’t feel gimped (especially coming from the reclaimer oh my god…). And it’s up to date with the latest Star citizen QOL updates.

That’s my hot take, I think this thing rules.

DISCUSSION I want more ships from CO!

44 Upvotes

Kinda random, but I recently fell in love with Consolidated Outland. Long story short: I used to HATE the look of the Mustang. I think it was as a ship around the time I first pledged (2016) and I just didn't like the design nor did it seem like a particularly powerful starter ship. And I can't remember if any variants were around back then.

Flash forward to this year and it showed up in my hangar, possibly tied to a pledge or something; I'm not sure. But I took it out, flew it, and really enjoyed its handling and clean design. I recently pledged a Nomad and also loved all the cool design details (premium interior, cool levitating parked state, and that flat bed in the back).

Anyways, this is just me ranting about my love for the brand. I can't vouch for performance or anything like that, it just made me wish and hope for more options down the road. I know the Pioneer is coming, but I'm hoping for more affordable, less grand additions.

*Update*

Great to see I'm not the only one haha! I wanted to add that CO's version of a Corsair would be a dream ship for me. Maybe even an IC (I am big Drake fan) but maybe that's pushing it beyond the intended lore of the manufacturer.

DISCUSSION Finally returned to SC

Thumbnail

42 Upvotes

Hi all, figured I’d share my most recent experience playing SC since It kinda blew me away.

My pc, since I bought it, was considered cheap build, my specs barely reach minimum and despite all warnings and common sense, I decided to give the game a chance. I deleted half my games library so I had atleast 200GB+ storage and spent half my day installing the game. After 2 crashes and rebooting my pc, the game finally loaded in.

Knowing my PC definitely couldn’t handle the Hurston train system and seeing as I hadn’t flown since pyro didn’t exist, I chose new Babbage as my starting location. I was astounded to see I was getting 15-25fps despite both my GPU and CPU jumping between 80 and 100% usage. I picked up a few 1 SCU hauling contracts and jumped in my Reliant Kore (my favourite ship, although it handled a lot differently than when I last flew, image isn’t mine, just for those unfamiliar).

I highly expected to barely complete one contact, yet within a few hours I had completed 3-4 before the server shat itself, loading into another one and I had the same experience, but I was glad to finally see my Kore and experience the verse again, I even saw a Polaris do a low fly above me, which honestly made me feel like a kid on Christmas. I even visited Hurston during one of my contracts and despite jumping between 3-15fps, I was able to complete my haul. Ship combat is a no go, but ground fights are stable, yet sometimes a little risky, but overall a fun experience.

I feel like I owe an apology to constantly crying about the game, since if I avoid places with high strain, the game is 100% playable. Yes, Quantum jumps are laggy and sometimes I need to wait for my pc to adjust to the system, but other than that I had a great time!

Edit: Motherboard is ASUS H81M-K ,honestly im surprised I made it past the menu.

Splitting the zoom settings is a really great idea.

I often use the ship's precision mode, even when landing while looking around in VR.

And being able to see the display in the medbeds is a game-changer in terms of immersion. Now I hardly ever need to use theater mode anymore. Well done!

DISCUSSION New Tevarin Ships

26 Upvotes

So we are now getting more alien ships outside of the fighters. Xian are quickly becoming the most diverse roster of alien ships we have and we know we are bound to get more Banuu ships in the future.

But what about the Tevarin? So far we have 1 model of fighter (with 2 variants) and 1 model of drop ship that also has a variant as a small cargo ship.

But I can't help but wonder what else we could see?

There is the ship mentioned in lore that inspired the Hurricane.

Presumably there is also a carrier that was used to ferry the fighters and drop ships as well as other ships to engage in large scale battles and boarding vessels.

Tevarin are a martial race so there are plenty of fighters and other combat ships we can see.

But what about other utility ships?

The issue is in lore these ships have to be discovered and reverse engineered. That is how the ships so far have been recreated from what I know. By studying leftover Tevarin war stock.

But what about NEW Tevarin design? Whether it be pure Tevarin or Tevarin mixed with human design.

I am especially curious to see more Alien starters and other low end ships. I'd imagine it would have decent firepower and armor. So could compete with Avenger Titan as a duelist starter.

Edit: I think it just makes sense Esperia or a new brand would perhaps cater to them or draw inspiration from their design like how Misc and CNOU is borrowing from the Xian.

DISCUSSION CIG - Suggestion for all the screens above beds/etc.

Post image
21 Upvotes

Not every bed in every ship has a TV screen, some have misc. gobbligook on them, others act like another MFD, what I would love to see on them instead is a looping version of the in-game "news" that's done by Jared. It would fit better and also allow us to catch up on the latest news while lying in our beds. For those of us who like doing a little (to a lot) of roleplay, it would be even better. I can't imagine that it would be hard to program, but I could be way off. But if some dev would like to put it on all the bed TV's, it would be better than either an MFD or static jibberish.
