What do you all do right now? (in-game)

[Odiam]

More generally speaking: what's there to know at this stage?
I mainly fire up the PU, do a comm-array reboot, explore what I unlock for a bit, have the occasional pirate fight, and nothing much more. As far as I understand nothing is yet persistent anyway.
So, all good and fine, but am I missing some major activity or that's all at the moment? More than OK but just to be sure, you know.

I play Arena Commander (BR-SB-VS) while waiting for PTU2.2 then I will be testing that.

You can visit ArcCorp - via elevator from the Hangar.
You can join other players on a multi crew ship in the Crusader Mini PU. And there are several missions to do.

I actually haven't played the PU at all yet. My little 660ti couldn't handle it. I did just get a GTX 970 installed last night so I plan on finally seeing what all the hubbub is about this weekend.

I tend to die a lot. Usually by lack of skill or lack of skill. Both wipe me out in equal amounts.

 

[Blind Owl]

In all seriousness though, you can head to Security Outpost Karesh and do some FPS stuff or head to any of the comm arrays and EVA into it to restart it. That's a whole series of quests. Then there's a sleuthing mission you get in your in game inbox. Oh, and there's another mission that you get via commlink from a doctor or someone. Can't remember exactly right now.
Arena commander is a great place to hone your skills (which I need to do, desperately).
And ArcCorp is fun to ru. Around and check out...or so I hear. I haven't been there yet. Dunno why.

Strange, my 650 Ti runs SC just fine. I get 28-34 FPS on Very High Graphics settings.

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

I'm doing absolutely nothing in-game since I currently do not have a PC :(

RIP

 

[Carlos Spicyweiner]

Basically, I do this.

 

[Grimbli]

Not much. But soon I'm going to spend my time practicing flying and getting better in dogfights. So I have a decent amount of experience with that.

What I'm mostly interested in is the Engineering aspect. I want to mod ships and repair them mid battle. I just discovered the Reliant SIN is a science vessel so I don't have to drop the cash on an Endeavor!

One of these days I have off I'm going to reboot all the comm arrays and the secondary quests. Just a goal of mine.

I've gotten a bit bored with the protoverse, so I've been back in Arena Commander. Squadron Battle mostly, but do a bit of Battle Royale here and there. Testing out new ships and techniques and such, so my leaderboard ranking sucks, but it makes it fun.

 

[Odiam]

Strange, my 650 Ti runs SC just fine. I get 28-34 FPS on Very High Graphics settings.

Performance is still, how to put it mildly, utter shit. Wild frame drops on a 980 Ti (1440p) but it's still an alpha so I am fine with that.

You look like the kind of person who could know how to activate the drone simulation, because it fails me at the moment.

FPS at Karesh is awesome. I can't wait for Star Marine!

I got 980ti and have average fps at 1080 on medium.
Course it's the same fps on 4k medium because...Alpha

I have a GTX660 with similar performance and same settings. This is my current bottleneck as the rest of my machine has a i7 4790 and 16GB RAM.

Huh? Do you mean Vanduul Swarm?

 

[Odiam]

Huh? Do you mean Vanduul Swarm?

I.. have no idea what is that, but I mean, Arena commander, Drone sim free flight... you just fly around or are there actual drones to shoot at? Maybe I am missing something hey, I am quite a noob.

 

[Odiam]

Oh god... I told you I am a noob, I actually never noticed you can cycle between free flight, race etc in the drone simulations...

 

[KKDish King of all dishes]

Fly into the sun... But really arena commander to get flying juuuust right and wait for the glorious day when my reclaimer can rip stuff apart for booze money!

Drone means you can practice with no one shooting you. Free flight is good for setting up your controller, getting used to various keys and you can practice auto/manual landings (there are 8 pads). Also, in Free Flight you can do Co-op with a friend that is willing to be the 'Drone' for you to practice shooting to get used to the targeting Pips etc. (I have done this several times with friends.)

The other Drone maps are very similar. I hope this explanation helps.
Have fun.
