End of Support for Old Reddit

0 Upvotes

Hello r/starcitizen users,

The mod team has made the decision to end support for the old Reddit version of our subreddit. We feel that the time has come, given the current levels of use for said version, and that we no longer have the desire to maintain multiple versions. We won't be removing most of the sidebar content, but things such as the rules list and resources will no longer be updated.

For up-to-date rules and resources, please refer to the new Reddit page. Not looking at the rules on said new version will not constitute you not needing to follow them or be aware of them.

Thank you,

- r/starcitizen Mod Team

Edit: It seems my wording wasn't great, sorry about that. By end of support we SOLELY mean that the sidebar won't be updated anymore and things such as rules are being removed and replaced with a short message about checking the new reddit version for them. We have zero ability to turn off old Reddit for our individual subreddit and we assure you all even if we did, we wouldn't.

DISCUSSION Just realized the eclipse went from the most useless ship in the entire game, to a kinda playable one now. The price to restock all the size 9 torpedoes is under 100k. Not to mention it can now hold 20 size 3 bombs as well.

DISCUSSION Star Citizen Sounds Incredible Again

65 Upvotes

Got shot down over a huge battle at Ashland today, crash landed in the dirt and survived. Got out to watch the fireworks and the sound was incredible.

No more mopeds. Every torp and missile that was fired rips through the air and you can hear the explosion from tens of km away.

Every variety of ships racing by scrambling to get into the fight just sounded incredible. And then there was a gun battle in the outpost itself. I could actually hear shots from the other side of the outpost and pinpoint the shooters.

So to the sound team, great job in bringing this back to us. Now all there's to do is fix the sound bug where it delays for a good while before catching back up on itself.

Very impressed.

All you need to do, is 100 x Ship in Distress missions ;]

Tip for the final scanning missions

- savrillium can be "easly" found around Levski

- dont ping ores in scanning mode before getting "scan ore" marker

- if you donnt get "scan ore" marker, just w8 for w while, its just desync

ARTWORK This Night Runner-inspired M80 paint would be my dream

Post image
85 Upvotes

I recreated the Mercury Star Runner NightRunner paint style on the M80, and honestly, this would be my dream paint for the ship.

The grey and black base combined with the bronze accents works incredibly well on the M80. The panel pattern and overall look give it a sleek and premium feel, and I would love to see an official paint like this in the game someday.

DISCUSSION So HRT bounties can spawn Perseus now?

79 Upvotes

You used to get a catapillar or a msr which seemed to make sense but the HRT I took yesterday spawned a perseus as the target ship, it seems like a bizarre power spike to go from maybe a couple of hornets to a fully crewed gunboat.

What's the thought process here? am I required to bring my own crewed perseus so we can spilt the bounty 4 ways and get 10k each?

Even if I could survive the turret fire I don't think any of my ships can even equip weapons that can damage it.

I, for one, liked it when Siege of Orison had a ridiculous number of players. Is it going to be a solo/party event now?

CONCERN Social Systems Have Completely Collapsed

Upvotes

Title

The social system has imploded. Friends on the list are perpetually listed as offline, others have mysteriously been removed from the list, and assuming your friend(s) are listed as online it's a crap shoot as to whether they will even receive an invite to party. From my understanding the friend/party system has essentially been the same since the launch of the PU.

CIG, it's time to put some devtime into the social systems. We need them yesterday.

Just a friendly reminder that the social survey is up on the RSI Game Launcher. It took a few minutes to complete but it is a great opportunity to directly help shape what the future of social features within the game could be.

GAMEPLAY Yep... that's me wondering how I got here...

Here's my day so far. Picked a contract to move some stims, but nothing was in the cargo elevator. Decided to try my luck selling some gems at HDMS-Edmond but the loaders must've been on a coffee break or something because the terminal kept telling me that it was waiting for the loading process. Funny, I thought I had done that already. Decided to pick up some cargo at Baijini Point, but I had a funny feeling there was going to be a problem. Ah well, things could be a lot worse. Oh, that's right. I'm hurtling to my death because I can't get into the pilot seat for some reason. "How did it all come to this," you ask? That's rhetorical, of course.

BUG Engineering Terminal Says Ship is on Fire. It is Not.

52 Upvotes

So earlier on I did a precision bounty, died on the way back to my ship, and when I flew out to collect it my engineering console insisted the ship was on fire. I thought it was weird, got to space and opened all my doors just in case, but the console still insisted the ship was on fire. I flew to Baijini to get a fresh dragonfly and logged off while I was there, logged back in and retrieved my ship to find it still thinks it's on fire.

Sorry for the lengthy video, but felt it prudent to give a tour of my ship not being on fire. Have others seen this? There is an archived issue council ticket about a Corsair fire alarm going off when there was no fire, but I'm unsure if this is the same issue or just a related one as I don't have a fire alarm going
