those new ships look great

human_error · Nov 29, 2014

There's a neat text based mini-game on the anvil carrack page (scroll to the last thing before "end transmission" and the comments here: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14323-Into-The-Unknown-A-Carrack-Her-Crew then click "start") - if you're logged in, play and get to the end you get a "cartographer" forum title, which is pretty neat.

I also may have just bought a carrack. May as well add it to my list of ships please...

erocker · Nov 29, 2014

I'm not sure if I should keep the Phoenix or melt it for a Carrack.. I really like the Carrack.

At the moment the devs aren't sure if you will have to have 2 or more people (read: not NPC characters) to fly the carrack - it's borderline as the ship is classed as a small cap ship and I'm not sure if they'll know for sure until they start balance testing the PU alpha. It does come with a rover and a small ship in the ship bay, so it's a pretty sweet setup.

I'd drop the phoenix faster than a.........
but that's me.

I am thinking of doing this, just not sure how to keep my Alpha spot...

Every backer can fly the Hornet for the next week - anyone who hasn't flown one yet should give it a try

Am I the only one having issues with the nose guns overheating and not cooling back down? The ball turret weapons, wing weapons, and canard turret weapons work just fine, but the nose guns won't cool down.

erocker · Dec 5, 2014

Nose guns aren't supposed to work right now.

That certainly explains it. Thanks, E.

ZenZimZaliben · Dec 5, 2014

Honest question here. Is this game P2W? Why are ships so outrageously expensive? I really am hopeful for both this game and Elite Dangerous.

Kursah · Dec 6, 2014

No it's not supposed to be pay to win at least... everything you can buy here you'll be able to earn or purchase in-game as well.

Honestly to me the AC module for SC feels more like BF/CoD in space with it's couple of maps and couple of game modes. It's good, looks amazing, but gets old fast...I can play for an hour or two and I'm ready to move on. I only have the Kickstarter Auroura MR, I don't plan to invest any further in this title until I see something worth investing in, I have heard about the future and this game has grossed more than most do in a lifetime...I'm going to patiently wait while it is developed into what I hope is Space Sim greatness. I want to explore space and have freedom...I'm hoping that'll happen before the FPS module. AC is fun though, and I am sure once this game comes into fruition from its very early development cycle atm, it'll be a truly different experience from the extreme limitations of now.

What I move on to is something you can read about in the TPU Space Sim Appreciation thread (link in sig).

Scrizz · Dec 12, 2014

I'm loving the Gladiator!
Sadly, my vid card can't show it to its full extent.

The way to get into the ship is interesting; both seats come out at the same time.
The cockpit for both the pilot and turret are neat.
I really like how they gave it an "older" feel with the map lights.

Overall, I'm glad I got rid of the SuperHornet. This is more my style.

Arena Commander 1.0 releases in 20 minutes!!

Hell yea, I was watching the live stream on Twitch! :toast:

It was kickass that over 2 million people were watching it. I wonder what's in 1.0, Chris said it's not as polish as it should be and it's actually about 5 days early.

bubbleawsome · Dec 19, 2014

I need to get it together. The AMD packages are going for $18. I want into AC!

Is it working out on the server side? Anything happen with the PTU (or whatever)?

erocker · Dec 20, 2014

The "PTU" was just a test build for AC 1.0 last night.

So.. They finally put the Vanduul in the Scythe!!

Mindweaver · Dec 20, 2014

~~So, does anyone have any details on 1.0.. I've been out of the loop.~~ Details are out here.

Kursah · Dec 20, 2014

Updating now....looking forward to trying it out! Have the fixed the control mapping?

human_error · Dec 20, 2014

Control mapping now works great (can un-bind keys as well as save your config for re-importing if the game wipes to defaults in a future patch), the ships fly really nicely but there is an issue with the servers disconnecting people frequently. They're working on it, and restart the servers at the top of the hour and half past the hour to try and contain the problem.

In the time I have been able to play I'm really enjoying it - the mustangs, superhornet and avenger are all awesome in the game and everything feels really solid bar the smaller bugs and connection issue.

bubbleawsome · Dec 21, 2014

I'm joining the 'verse in an ES. Looking forward to playing tomorrow after all these patches sort themselves out.

erocker · Dec 21, 2014

I've gotten in game twice and the Aurora feels like it should now, very nice! The Avenger is also an awesome ship, especially if you replace the suckerpunch guns with some Omnisky's III's.

I can't wait until my Gladiator is flyable. That hing looks soo siiiick.

Random Murderer · Dec 21, 2014

Now that they've finally been released, add a Mustang Delta to my line-up. Last ship I wanted. From here on out, I'll be melting ships if I see something new I have to have

Ahhzz · Dec 30, 2014

Thrustmaster Warthog going on sale this afternoon at 4:00 EST on the 'Egg. Normal price on this jewel is around $415; according to the Camel, lowest price on Newegg was $398. Amazon's at about the same price, but had it down to $360 back in November (I remember that day... many kittens died from my despair that day.....). According to the blurb, this is a "replica set of the U.S. Air Force A-10C's joystick, dual throttle system and control panel". Definitely one of the top performers in the HOTAS arena, but if you're like me, way outta the sky range. Anyway, wanted to pass it along. Will post in the E : D thread as well

to update, that's a $349 special at the 'Egg, and a solid deal ($10 less than best Amazon price I've seen) for those with the fluidity. Burn some of that Christmas Cash, and snag it!!!

then give it to me :laugh:
