    Cutter this, Cutter that

    I have i have learned that no matter how much I love to drive my cars, no matter how much time and energy I spend on searching for the right one I will spend the next 10+ years bonding with, no matter how hard I try and explain just how well it drives, the fact is…some don’t get it. No matter...

    Pirates will mostly be playing the ROI game. What is the potential ROI for a cutter? What about a Corsair, Connie, C2, etc. A cutty will probably have close to nothing worthwhile in the hold, while a C2 probably will

    RSI Galaxy Incomming?

    It will be Less than the odyssey. Depending on cost of modules, etc, I expect it to be similar to Carrack pricing, maybe a bit less

    All…. It’s a STARTER SHIP. unlike a lot of the old starters, it can actually do a lot of things. It may not do them well, but it can do them. That’s the point of a starter, help us figure out what we want to do and then help us get to the point we can buy that next ship. Starters also help...

    Drake Cutter from Pipeline Discord

    Actually, this reminds me a little of the puddle jumper ships from SG:Atlantis and the shuttle ships from SG:Universe

    RSI Galaxy not actually coming

    First of all, I think we have both coming, but I am not sure either is going to have some of the stats we expect (I don't expect the cutter to be as speedy as it says for instance) That said, based on the little information we do have, here is what I am going to theorycraft now. NOTE, this is...

    Drake Cutter from Pipeline Discord

    Heh…I am hoping the cutter is nother name for the Caterpillar command module, this could add some significant gameplay possibilities, especially with soft death, manual decoupling of a damaged/dead command module, etc.

    All, I suspect the ship that is not going to happen is the Galaxy...

    Star Citizen new ship! RSI Galaxy

    No, quite the opposite in fact. Now, my statements here are based solely on the purported information posted here on the Test site. your Odyssey is an exploration class chip that has room for a size small (Buc, Sabre, Hornet, 300 series, etc.) and has a capability of mining and refining it’s...

    Star Citizen new ship! RSI Galaxy

    Based on what you have here. It looks like more than one. cutters have different meaning in different ages, but one of the, was a ship’s boat. I wonder if it will have a docking collar that can be latched on to another ship? For instance, could this dock to the Corsair somehow? It would make...

    5e

    First off off, our personal definitions of good and evil greatly depend on a person’s point of view and the truth as they see it. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union was described as the Evil Empire by a sitting US president. I am sure the Soviets felt similar about the US, and from their...

    Star Citizen new ship! RSI Galaxy

    Montoya, Very interesting.... I don't think it will be as expensive as you think for a "base" version (let's say cargo). Where I see the differences is in the different modules. Much like the Endeavor, the Retaliator, the Caterpillar, and the 600i, you could have multiple modules that will...

    Vulture and Corsair luvs

    from the open 3.17.4 ptu, I suspect both will be shown at IAE, with the Corsair being flyable. That means you should have your corsair the 18th or so

    How to successfully buy a credit Javelin during IAE?

    I know you are looking for stand alone, but there is another way. During IAE, they usually sell manufacturer “complete” packs. While it does not contain the military Idris,it does contain the militia Idris and the Javelin. The other ships all have CCUs you can upgrade too. For instance, the...

    Star Citizen Fatigue, featuring Richard Bong :D

    One of the biggest problems with CR, and one of his best traits is that he is a perfectionist. He wants everything done perfectly and is not unwilling to blow everything he has already done up so that he can get to a better state of the game. The problem with that is that everything can always...

    IAE 2952 mystery ship?

    Since they show the Corsair at 23 seconds into the video. I don’t think the sun shadowed ship is the Corsair, but there is a small chance it could be. That said. I expeft it to be something new. however. I don’t think it’s going to be a big ship. While I can certainly be wrong, they usually...

    I give up.

    If you can only point to one, or even a handful, while conveniently ignoring the other issues I raised, then it sort of proves my point more than it proves yours. CR has said repeatedly that he is not rushing “release” and has pointed to many games that release prematurely and get negative...

    I give up.

    Released games don’t have inventory rep, and other character type wipes so they can redo a system. At least no persistent universe mmo can. That alone prevents it from being out of alpha. Also if this were not alpha, we would not have aUEC (alpha UEC) cash ship sales would be almost non...

    I give up.

    I don't mind if they never "finish" the game by working to keep it upgraded, etc. What I have a problem with would be to call it "released" with all the bugs. If this is a released game, then it's a horrible game. If it's a playable alpha, then a lot of those problems don't mean much. In a...

    I give up.

    honestly, no engine can do what CIG wants to do for the size of the game CIG wants to make. Having hundreds or thousands of people in a game that uses a twitch shooter tech and all the calculations involved therein is very possibly too big an ask for any engine, much less a less than modern...
