It will never get another update, so you’d better like mods. There’s one that changes the map to be an entire star cluster; seven star systems and almost 50 planets. Three guesses how that one will run on any machine, though.

BEHOLD! I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER TO HEADTRACKING!

>without paying 500 for VR goggles

I was trying to get facetracknoir going for X3 albion/TC, which was a massive pain in the ass, but I did finally get it working, but it lagged, and was all around shitty. I used to have a trackir years ago but I'm not dropping $150 on it again.

Anyway, this is the fucking answer

vid related.

https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/wiki/Smartphone-Headtracking

Strap a fucking smartphone with gryo sensors onto your head. I just tried it, it's works better than TrackIR, and a million times better than face tracking with no overhead. The trick is getting it on your head, I don't have a solution for that yet, but I'm going to buy a headband or headset or something and some rubber bands tommorow and strap a phone on my head.

>>14215769

In that case just have the human-input-needed alarm rigged to a siren next to the bed.

>>14220322

when you download opentrack the apk for android is in the folder you installed it

{{instal_dir}}/doc/contrib/freepie-udp

took me a little bit to figure that out.

it works fine over wifi but adb wont do udp port forwarding (it will do tcp, but this is udp). that's going to require more work to get going. the solution i found to turn on usb tethering on the phone fucks your networking all up on windows if you don't want to actually pull your internet from the phone, it fucks up the existing networks and knocks you off the internet. i had to uninstall and re-install the wifi driver to get it working again after i tried it.

it might work over bluetooth but i haven't tried that yet. also you can turn the screen off to save battery it runs in the background.

>>14220364

>it works fine over wifi but adb wont do….

this is trying to pump it over usb not wifi, this will not fuck up your wifi

>>14219065

For around $20 I made a DIY Infrared TrackIR I soldered and duck taped together.

>PS3 Camera with negative film taped over front

>3 IR LEDs + Resistors + AA Batt pack + Switch for convenience

>PS3 Opensource Cam drivers + OpenTrack IR

Bit of configuration and fucking around but fun if you're into that type of thing. I made my setup with cardboard which I then duck tape to the side of my headphones. I think eventually I'll ask my mate to 3d print the brace for me.

>This spare phone gyro method looks easier though…

>>14220484

you can make your own gryo's now too with SBC's, there's a couple of examples and projects on the opentrack wiki. I think the gyro idea is superior in all ways to tracking ir led's. there's no processing overhead, no issue of the led's going out of site of the camera, and it's far more accurate. the only downside is there's no translation so it isn't true 6DOF, but translation isn't a big thing to begin with, even in DCS it's minimal. With opentrack you can mix two types together, so you might be able to do both and get it more accurate and have translation.

making your own gyro with a sbc would be a fun project and considerably easier to strap to you head and much lighter weight, but short of that, the smartphone idea is genius, everyone has a botnet in their pocket. i'm suprised people aren't selling phone head mounts.

>>14221524

I'd love a 60's clarke/heinlein/asimov-era game. Neutonian physics combined with nuclear everything and early cold war naval tactics makes my dick hard.

>>14219065

after hours of trial and error i have a way to get those going over usb cable. there's no easy way. usb tethering is supposed to work in theory, but then it requires cell internet to be active, and plays games with your internet connection on the host PC, you can configure away those games, but not the cell network requirement. this solution bypasses the requirement.

1) install all of the drivers, go to xda-developers, need networking drivers and adb drivers, install all of the available drivers for your phone.

2) install all the shit for adb, xda-developers pull a shell over adb to make sure it works.

3) with phone plugged in over usb, toggle usb tethering, it doesn't have to work, but it should be enough to trigger the device to show up in windows and install the networking driver that you already installed, but it should now show up under networking connections as another LAN connection. infact confirm it's off afterward. it should fail on it's own if cell data is blocked.

4) configure static networking on this new lan connection on the host, assign an ip address and netmask, ie

ip 192.168.105.1

netmask 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.105.1

5) pull up an adb shell on the phone, now it's time to manually configure the usb networking connection on android/linux.

6) find the networking device

ip link

find usbX, it should be the only one, this is the usb lan.

insert static ip data, for the purpose of this example, if you used the host info above this would work and assuming the device is usb0

ip link set dev usb0 up
ip addr add 192.168.105.2/24 dev usb0
ip route add default via 192.168.105.1 dev usb0

that's it, the interface should have come up on the host as soon as you ran ip link set dev usb0 up. you can now run the freepie app and opentrack, and get the data over usb.

it seems like alot and it is but you only have to fuck off installing all the shit and configuring the host side once, and afterward it's only pull a shell and run 3 commands each time.

>>14223437

also this same type of manual ip method should work with bluetooth, slightly different instructions obviously to get bluetooth up and running. i didn't put much energy into that so I haven't tried it,

bluetooth has shitty bandwidth and the sensor data already lagged on congested wifi. part of the goal is also not to have wifi bluetooth and cell data all running at max power right next to your brain for long periods of time.

Is EVE worth getting into?

I used to play it but my trial ran out, now I hear it's F2P. I remember it had good ambient/soothing music and a comfy atmosphere, but I hated the spreadsheet shit. It's definitely not what the trailer presents it to be.

Just wondering about the status of the game. Not gonna bother if it's dying or has a dwindling population.

>>14224481

Damn, RIP.

>>14224491

Honestly, EVE is pretty stale right now. There's a big war going on, but it's boring as shit, because it's goons and friends vs everyone else, but the goons are being kikes and not committing to anything. It's OK if you want to play some solo stuff, or do wormholes, but you'll probably need to sub to be good at wormholes.

>>14224513

I thought the goons got blown the fuck out a while back, what happened?

>>14224513

I'm interested in faction warfare, never cared much about fringe alliance drama shit.

I wish FW was the main aspect of the game instead of corporations, the reason I joined was to pick a faction who's ideology is closest to mine and kill my enemies who are obviously wrong and misguided. I was disappointed when it turned out it doesn't matter much what faction you start as, can use any ship and FW is just a "small" thing as opposed to alliance/corporation wars.

I want to kill Gallente SJWs and Minmatar savages.

>>14224558

>repeat

>>14224624

Can't F2Ps use up to battleships?

>>14224644

sure but those will get raped by t2 ships too. it's just a more expensive loss.

all p2p in eve revolves around massively outnumbering your enemy and never fighting unless you do, which means fights revolve around hunting for people for hours trying to catch them off guard while pve'ing or mining with no protection, or getting ganked while doing the same.

massive fleet on fleet battles are cool when they happen but there's so many ships the graphics are really just background, you might as well be playing with a black screen and menu's. it truly is a spreadsheet simulator. it's fun until the novelty wears off and you realize your actually not flying anything.

>>14224624

The problem seems to be that you approach pvp in eve like some normal game.

Any lowsec area is liable to be home to pirates or some other group strong enough to keep the pirates out. You can't just ignore the social part of the game if you want to go there. Either make nice with the priates or whoever is occupying the place with enough force to keep the pirates out.

So the first thing you need to do before doing much of anything in a given lowsec area, is to get to know the groups there. Who the pirates who will hunt you are, who local miners are, who you are likely to run into while jumping around the asteroid belts, who are going to be hostile and who are potential allies.

Second problem is assuming you need no special preparations to do PvP well. I'm not sure what MMO's you've been playing where this isn't the case, but in most of them, PvP activity requires a lot of preparation and and practical experience for you to get any kind of success. EVE is no exception.

You can theoretically take a good frigate with a little cheap equipment as barely a weeks worth of skills and go bushwhack some dope in a freighter or a ship kitted for mining. In practice this will require you to have practice at the game, a good idea of what you are supposed to do with your frigate and knowing who to target.

So while it is possible to take on t2 cruisers in your starter frigate, that is the kind of shit highly experienced and skilled pvp'ers tend to get away with when dealing with less experienced players, not the kind of thing new players tend to get away with.

Alternately, get a bunch of your mates together and attack as a swarm. You will loose against coordinated groups of experienced players, but you can easily take down individual foes through sheer force of numbers.

Lastly, yes, when I was playing, 10 years ago, fleet drama and the painfully slow progression of the large battles was very much a thing.

One way to get more fighting is to start a mercenary/pirate corp and go pick fights in high sec space with various small to mid size mining corps there and then spending your days hunting down the carebears until they pay some massive bribe for you to end the way, then you just pick a new corp like that, rinse and repeat.

>>14224624

Pretty much this. Combat fucking sucks and it will never improve.

>>14212438

Playing Galactic Civ 2 as Arceans and keep getting wrecked by Drengins. Even when I start making medium ships with armor the corvette dominators managed to break through the defenses. And even with using the race with a naturally high soldering the Drengin have a higher soldering for some reason.

Some friends have gotten me into stellaris but I can't into military. Its just not in me

>>14224624

I mean, you can be a perfectly reasonable F1 monkey with an alpha account, just join Pandemic Horde, Waffles or E-Uni and you'll get plenty of fleet action, too bad hitting F1 when told to gets boring after a while, and the only thing to do during the downtime is jew.

>>14224702

>So while it is possible to take on t2 cruisers in your starter frigate, that is the kind of shit highly experienced and skilled pvp'ers

this is a blatant lie.

the only way your taking out a t2 cruiser in a starter frigate is if the person in the t2 starter frigate has the bare minimum skills to fly it, and equipped it with random rat drop junk and has no idea what he's doing.

>highly experienced and skilled pvp'ers

highly experienced as in in-game experience and skilled as in good at purchasing large amounts of isk with real money.

>Lastly, yes, when I was playing, 10 years ago,

the game has gotten far worse in 10 years

>>14225805

i don't want to shit on eve completely i got into it for a long time on and off since it came out, I never quit because of these issues, they can be considered part of the grind, I always end up quitting because of this:

>>14225276

PVE is nothing more than making sure you have a strong enough ship for what your doing, and pressing F1 until the rats go pop for hours, small scale pvp is more involved but takes hours and hours to find someone to gank, and large scale pvp is the same as pve, press F1 until target goes pop, next target, repeat, or even worse in the case of stations and player owned crap, press F1 and wait 4 hours for it to go pop.

>>14225805

>the game has gotten far worse in 10 years

That I will believe.

>>14224624

>>14224709

This.

EvE is a bad/boring/unfun game with pretty graphics.

>>14219065

messing with these sensors now there are some problems. sensor noise is one of them, but it's not bad and the software filters the shit out well, you'll notice it if you turn the filter way down (below default).

the biggest problem is the yaw sensor. maybe it's my phone, or some gyro's / compass's are better than others, or both, but what happens is you turn your head 30 degree's to the right, you'll get the 30 degree response, but then it'll drift 5 degrees left slowly until it settles on 25 (maybe it's right and i only moved my head 25 degrees), either the compass is fucking up, or it's using the accelerator or something to guess where it's going to be and adjusting with the compass as it catches up. the pitch and roll don't seem to have this problem (phone is mounted flat).

i tried calibrating the sensors with some app but it doesn't do shit for the z axis/yaw, i don't think there's a way to fix it, it's just the phone hardware and the phone's software mixing all the senors together to spit out an orientation. the solution is to filter slower movements with opentrack by bumping the sensitivity up, so the slower 5 degree backtrack is filtered out, as a consequence it's not as accurate with slower head movements, but it's worth the trade off. maybe if you could somehow strap the phone to your head vertically instead of flat on top, since pitch and roll don't seem to have this problem, but I don't know how the fuck you'd do that.

it makes me want to build one of these myself, and then get pissed off at the shitty chink gyro or compass i'm using.

EDTracker is $70, that's too damn expensive, and if you buy the DIY kit your going to have to solder 100 pins. there has to be an SBC with a gyro attached for less than that.

The fusion thing might also be an answer, combine the phone/gyro AND light tracking, but then there's the camera cpu overhead issue again if you don't have 8 cores.

<Different ecosystems for different manufacturers (with some overlap if the company intends for that), a restrictive high end ship core may require certain parts only sold from that manufacturer or face compatibility issues

<The features of your text console would be directly effected by the ship's software with certain types requiring certain hardware platforms

<Off/black market parts having the additional risk of their software being potentially compromised and needing some additional setup before use

>More indirect PVP options like infecting a ship running vulnerable software version if they have open ports/no firewall enabled, attacking cargo ships supplying manufacturers you dislike, buying up parts for scrap to drive prices up

>More hard boiled sci-fi where any direct PVP would be more about long range detection and weaponry rather than being 100 meters away shooting at each other. More submarine-like as apposed to plane-like.

I think the HOTAS allows for better control of your ship's rotation and thrust which is crucial in battle, otherwise you are stuck with aiming and seeing only in the direction your thrusters are facing, which could not be as important in aeroplanes, but is not the best case for a spaceship that can just turn its thruster's off and still rotate and shoot in the opposite direction while maintaining its previous vector

>>14232628

>stuck with aiming and seeing only in the direction your thrusters are facing

*the direction your thrusters are pushing towards*

HOTASS in space games are for plebs. Yokes are where it's at :^).

>>14228778

lol hotas is shit for pvp aim. okay not really but seriously if you are good at keyboard and mouse then you'll be fine in pvp. the big issue with pvp is finding it and realizing that the pvp wings generally don't care about 1v1 shit so prepare your ass for meta de lance gang rape. it's more fun then it sounds.

>>14233353

Pvp is shit in Elite also Frontier makes slow as fuck updates and can't even fix problems that have been reported for months thanks to them taking the jew pill and putting the game on consoles.

Do you realize how little is coming during this whole year? their 2018 roadmap is short of being nothing.

Also I don like how there is literal zero ship and player personalization unless you pay super expensive DLC. I mean $4 for a fucking non premium paint job is overpriced as fuck . Want to put the ships name on it? That would be $3 please. People should avoid this cursed game.

>>14233441

that sucks, I keep thinking I'm missing something but not playing ED. I guess I'll just stick to X3.

>tfw ywn go on a holy crusade defeating space saracens

>>14234148

Well can't deny snipping streamers is great and best of all its completely valid. Unlike in other recent games.

Roleplaying as a pirate and mugging player ships is also fun when you caught a python or type 9/7 full of expensive cargo and no or weak shields, once melted a type 9 that had a 30 million rebuy plus the cargo lost. The guy was pissed as fuck.

I am excited yet disssapointed by the upcoming fleet carriers since i mostly play alone. Also disssapointed because it seems they will never make any effort to improve stealth. Which is really mostly limited to heat dissipation right now.

>>14234833

No

>>14234834

Aww.

>>14234840

You can however spend loads of money buying keys for lockboxes and a 0.00001% of getting anything decent though :^)

>>14234855

True, but now that i think about it, there's an awful lot of boarding in this game.

>During tutorial mission you fight boarders aboard your own ship

>In the very nextmission you fight pirate boarders inside a transport

>After that there is something like 3 more missions where you board ships to either help the locals repel boarders or to take over a ship (klingon bird of prey) and in latter one, fly that ship to a klingon base and after that use it to fight a planet killer

>Then there are several other missions where you fight in a space station that is getting boarded and sometimes you board a space station

>In previous season, you boarded a Tholian ship while wearing an environment suit so you wont die in Tholian atmosphere

>And in latest mission, you board a Tzenkethi ship, take its weapons offline and then attack the bridge

So while there is quite a lot of boarding actions going on in the story, you can never just pick a fight with a ship, board it and then change into inside ship view.

>>14234815

Haven't gone too deep, but already loving it. It's really nice to see some devs willing to go that deep with the lore, character interaction, and RPG elements in a genre where they usually just get brushed off. IMO it's a really good example of how in-depth crew management and branching character interactions can make a space game much deeper.

>>14234855

>>14234910

what he said and you can play just about the whole 70 or so missions with basic stuff

>>14234855

>That seems like a lot of wasted of potential.

You should have seen the PvP scene before it was killed.

>>14215653

I loved the hell out of BFG:A, even with its flaws. Are there other games about simulating space battles between fleets? Not RTS, but just doing battles & creating big fleets.

>>14235276

My problem with ED PvP is that you have to grind to take part in it due to Engineers. Grind to win is a huge failure for any PvP game.

>>14236248

You don't have to grind if you just gank defenseless faggots.

>>14236272

Yeah but that's not the same as having a proper battle.

>>14236306

A lot of pvp groups hold daily unengineered battles so they can upload their videos on reddit for likes. The issue is that you would have to come into contact with them and possibly join their player group, The only good pvp is organized pvp or else your stuck trying to kill wanted engineered ships in CGs. Also, learning to FA off is a big must.

>>14237513

I prefer being a sneaknigger and blasting people with torpedoes and shit, real fucking shame that Elite doesn't have cloaking, or a sustainable stealth mechanic, and that the missiles and torpedoes are shit, because you can't carry any fucking ammo, and they do nothing to shields.

God damn, if they took at least some of the shit from EVE, they could've had such a better game. Dscan or a sonar pulse or some shit, to find miners in asteroid belts, ammo racks to carry extra missiles, cloaks, etc.

I enjoy the hunt, my guy, I love wandering the galaxy looking for guys to blap, but Elite just doesn't have the mechanics or content for that. You'll never find some guy exploring relic sites, you'll never be able to find a guy in an expensive combat ship, running a site, so you can decloak behind him and blap him with torpedoes and warp off. There's no way to find out if there are even other players anywhere in 20ly of you. I mean, they do have a null, low and highsec, but there's absolutely no incentive to be in the anarchy systems, the money's not better, the loot's not better.

God, I really can't get why Fdev struggles with this basic level shit, when CCP had it figured out twelve years ago, shame that EvE is so shit these days, too.

>>14237573

I wish someone actually played that game so I wouldn't have to wait twenty minutes for a match every time. It's not even a bad game, but it's a wonder they haven't shut it down yet.

>>14237580

It truly hurts that it never became popular. I think it's because the game requires actual teamwork, strategy and cooperation, something most people on Steam or who play Moba's in general just don't have. What killed it was going free to play. So many people think it's pay to win when in actuality they're just not competetant against veteran players.

It's definitely going to get shut down soon and I'm going to have a massive void in my heart.

Dreadnought is basically the same game, but utter shit. The ships are smaller and it's more of a pew pew shooter and less of a tactical experience. In Fractured Space you're literally flying capital ships. The longest one is like 2 and a half kilometers long. They're only like 100 meters in the former.

Why does everything good never work out?

Why is the space games genre doomed to have boring, trite garbage?

>>14237886

That was my issue with Fractured Space. They reset the progress one time too many when it felt like there was no need.

>>14238135

>Devs make their money up front and they become conformist

That shit right there. Nail on the fucking head.

>>14237819

>It truly hurts that it never became popular. I think it's because

Tts because it was early access, I played it.

On initial early access release you had to set your ship before the match so everyone could end up with a cluster fuck of ships that didn't balance or worse, someone would leave unbalancing the teams and nobody would join because that wasn't a feature yet, and the best part was with all these glaring problems they decided to release a free weekend.

The game was doomed from the start because the devs were always idiots.

>>14238135

>conformist

Can you elaborate on that? I have an idea but I want to hear your thoughts.

>>14238461

HA, I found my review of it:

I played the game for free on the free 24 hour or whatever on 11/20/14

It’s fun but it has some pretty basic problems.

Ships are pretty much made in the fashion of rock paper scissors where some ships are better against others but weaker against others so you want a varied team. For instance I found the stealth ship Assassin was great for smashing snipers, the ranged support cannons, and useful for softening flagships, the tanky big ships, but I kept getting stomped by hunters which is fine because I like a challenge.

However you pick your ship before the match even begins so when you actually get into a match you may end up with teams full of flag ships or 4 assassins and a hunter, clearly it needs some sort of option to pick your ship during ready time so you don’t end up with a gimped team.

And people often leave when they are losing, which wouldn’t be so bad if there were some way to join an active game.

Also the game crashes a lot for some reason, some files not being found or something I don’t know.

It’s fun but I really would not recommend buying it right now, what with how unreliable some games are about early access.

>>14238475

What's there to say, my man? Once you've sold a small fortune in EA, every month of continued development shrinks that profit. You become desperate to release it, looking to consider it "finished" as soon as you can without backlash.

Men can’t bear children, faggot. There’s a reason the phrase “Can’t live with them, can’t live without them” was coined. Humanity can not survive as a species at this point in time without women. Unless you know a way to a fetus to gestate without a womb?

>>14243738

Ah, I see that you have watched your Monty Python. Touché.

>>14243827

I believe there was an anime about that actually. The men and women both made artificial partners and could clone, so they made separate societies and after generations neither men nor women knew what the opposite sex was and considered them a different civilization. I forget the name though.

>>14243928

Nah, in the Left Hand of Darkness, that species just had the potential to switch between male or female depending on what gender a potential mate happened to be taking at that moment. It wasn't a sexually dimorphic species to begin with.

X series lets you pilot capital ships- they have a class of ships called destroyers. I still had my fun strolling through an entire sector purging Xenon and Kha'aak, but it's way too slow paced to use regularly.

>>14263618

I think he means the system which you've decided to set down roots in (fleet and modules stored there, faction relationships maxed, etc.). Since you've just started I seriously doubt you've picked any out, but if you're ever trying to decide on one I'd recommend Maikoro, It has a huge selection of ships (only missing Imperial ones), it's a single short jump away from a high tech system named Wodiwodi that has a huge selection of modules, and both are exploited by Li Yong-Rui, which means that ships and modules are all 15% off. Even if you don't settle down there, I recommend it to pretty much everyone as one of the most convenient spots to buy and outfit a ship.

>>14212585

Time out, what mod is this now?

>>14265580

Yes mostly the place you store all your stuff, or the one where you do your grind,

i just decided to base at a system where all services were available and that was really close to the entry point, so this hub is only 6ls away from the star, so i don't have to waste yet more seconds of my life staring at the void.

The old /v/lancer mod. It's like a decade old now but it had some cool stuff, but there was a major system that was themed like an ocean and the ocean part beneath it had sea monsters. It was horrifying.

>>14262385

>X3 is more of a strategy game.

I've been using the "ships can't stop running into shit" strategy extensively in early game this time around. If your fucked, just get to an asteroid or cram yourself into some space in a nook of a station. You can't time accelerate to success with the asteroid, but they will have a much harder time hitting you, I think the AI does make some attempt to not go headlong into it. With the station though, you can time accelerate and there will be a 100% chance that whatever is trying to kill you will slam into the station. Some stations have some nice nooks where they can't land any hits either.

>>14268027

i'm aware that there's mods that handle this, but litcube changes the entire game, I want to get a decent playthrough again first, and apparantly the other mods that deal with this have performance penalties.

I've always had the suspicion that FD was going to make the game single player until they found out they didn't have enough money to finish the game properly and then inked something with Microsoft so they'd get cash under the table in exchange for MS getting a space game for the latest greatest XB. After all development was by all accounts going smoothly (unlike Scam Citizen) until they suddenly announced that it was going to be MP/always online, then they shoved it out the door really fast and adjusted things quickly so that controllerfag could play reasonably well. I'm sort of wondering why I never hear anyone ask the same questions about that one. It's a shame as Elite 2 and 3 beat the crap out of any given X game except possibly X3.
