Are there any space games worth looking forward to?

>The mandate

>Star citizen

its going to be a great year.

>>14280046

Will it end in fire?

>>14280404

What the fuck did they do to B-wings?

>>14280461

I know its just a minor nitpick when there's so much more just plain retarded about this movie, but, why do the shots from the big ship arc through space? No other blaster has ever done this in star wars.

>>14280583

Yes.

>>14280587

And why do the bombs fall downwards?

>>14280596

I haven't seen any of the new ones because I don't like niggers, chinks, or 3d women. Am I missing out or did I make the right call?

>>14280602

Gravity shouldn't affect blaster bolts and more pressingly, there's nothing to produce the gravity to arc those shots even if gravity could pull those bolts down. They are supposedly flying around in deep space!

>>14280602

If I wrote this they would be on a rail system and ejected downwards.

>>14280616

Thats an interesting mechanic that would be neat to see in games. When ships become insanely large their own gravity begins to distort projectile weapons.

>>14280404

>we got slow moving extremely fighter vulnerable bomber ships

>lets deploy them against a carrier capable ship without the element of surprise

Genius. This shit couldn't even get you past the Turanic Raiders.

>>14280576

I don't know. I though Y-Wings were the bomber ships/heavy interceptor ships.

>>14280608

Right call made. The movies are extremely safe and the main character is a book case mary sue. The Last Jedi is absolutely worthless story-wise.

>>14280622

>>14280616

Wouldn't it be more effective to slab a big old engine of some kind on the warheads and firing them at the enemy from afar instead of having to fly right up to the target before dropping them on it?

>>14280622

>downwards

>outer space

>>14280668

>but muh ww2

>>14280721

It doesn't really make sense though.

>>14280404

Anytime that movie is reference, I feel compeled to remind people that throughout a single movie, after every idiotic decision and moronic "plan", the rebels managed to:

LOSE 95% OF THEIR FORCE

They specifically say 400 guys at the start. By the end, it's 20. The rest are dead.

LOSE THEIR ENTIRE FLEET

It wasn't big, but they had a nice carrier, a medical ship and a ton of fighters//bombers. A fleet small and maneuverable, perfect for hit-and-run guerrilla tactics.

Lol, it blew up.

FAIL TO KILL ANYONE IMPORTANT OR DEAL ANY MEANINGFUL BLOW TO THE EMPIRE

Oh yeah, they destroyed the star destroyer at the start. It's not like the Empire doesn't have 20 or 30 of them lying around. Wooooo, you go guys. Otherwise, the only "bad guy" of importance that died was Snoke (and it was so pathetic, his importance is debatable) but it was Emo Ren, not any action by the rebels.

I like to watch the older movies and think "Man, the Empire guys are so dumb. The Rebels are so smart in comparison and always have ingenious plans to deal with shit."

Thanks to the wonders of modern script writing thought, everyone is equally retarded and all positions of command are occupied by imbeciles so we can watch two factions duke it out for the last chromosome in the galaxy.

I gave this movie a try because A New Hope wasn't terrible. 4/10 or 5/10 on some parts.

But the way they painted the rebels into a corner like this? The only way they're getting out of it is for the authors to pull some cosmic ass-pull, a Deus Ex Machina bigger than a Deathstar.

I'm gonna pirate the next one and trully enjoy laughing at how bad it's gonna be.

>>14280773

> A New Hope wasn't terrible

but it was pure shit.

You niggers better get on movie battles II

That bitch was laying there with absolutely nothing to protect her from the from the harsh vacuum of space but a metal grate.

How does that fucking work?

>>14280806

Force fields?

>>14280795

There were parts that I liked.

Namely, the parts they ripped off from Empire Strikes back.

It's funny: the only parts they did well were shit the previous movies did before them in my opinion anyway.

Anytime they try to do something new, it crashes and burns.

Example: that Kylo/Rey mental-force-talk.

That shit reeked of Twilight squeeling.

>>14280808

Magnetic force-fields.

Listen men, when the diversity quotas mandate that we get a diversity hire in an heroic sacrifice scene, we gotta oblige, otherwise we're screwed with Diversity Comittee.

>>14280806

its science nigger, not going to explain shit

they also blow up the cockpit of the bomber but it didnt affect the atmosphere, but blow up the bridge of a rebel carrier and everyone gets sucked into space

>>14280808

Wouldn't that stop the bombs?

nah, his post wasnt funny

>>14280939

This fucking movie is like a hamburguer made with top ingredients but assembled completely out of order. This is like putting the patty on top, cheese at the bottom, the tomato is cut in cubes, the sauces are all separated from each other, the pickles are spread along the levels of the burger along with the lettuce. Sure, it maybe would've been amazing if whoever made this shit had seen a burger in his life, but nope, he's some kind of recently frozen lizard person.

200 deepthroating million dollars wasted on a movie that's a zero sum. Fucking amazing.

>how does this movie affect the overarching story

>snoke gets killed and gets no characterization which would effectively decapitate the first order but no kylos there and he takes control

>also finn and shrek do shit that doesnt matter also

I seriously do not understand how there are retarded faggots like IHE that defend this fucking shit. The only thing that it has going for is production value and that's the absolutely only thing that keeps this movie even slightly afloat.

Taking overall command of the Resistance after the deaths of most of the commanders and Organa's incapacitation, Holdo devised a plan to save the remaining personnel by evacuating them on transports while she stayed behind on the command ship to draw attention away from them.

Don't forget the nigger decided the best way to attack the cannon was to fly directly up the beam and melt his ship to hell instead of shifting over a couple of meters. And then when he realised his ship was melting and he wasn't getting there fast enough he pulls up further towards the center of the beam.

>>14280647

The rebel fighters didn't even start engaging the enemy fighters until after the enemy fighters were already on the bombers. They didn't even try to intercept them. Holy fuck, what is wrong with the screen writer.

>>14280871

I'm pretty sure they are going for the WW2 style bombers, that had numerous gunner positions, but SW already had that kind of thing with the Falcon. Why is that one chick wearing an oxygen mask when pretty much anything hitting you in one of those things is going to kill you and everyone on it?

Holy fuck, the only thing remotely as bad as this were the ships the clones used, but the clone gun ships had clear inspiration from helicopters that filled too many roles, they should have split them off into different designs and the stupid fighters they had.

>>14281414

But you're still posting on /v/ fitting digits checked

>>14280871

It feels like the whole point of the scene with the bombers was just so they can justify the earlier bits with Poe and BB-8 going out there by themselves and eliminating the surface aa guns on the siege dreadnought.

>>14279937

>>14280648

B-but muh B-17 lookalikes!

>>14280733

This. It completely makes every other weapon pointless, when you can just kamikaze light ships to go past any defense and destroy/cripple larger ones.

>>14280461

>>14280537

Absolutely nothing makes sense there

The rebel cruiser is fast enough to get outside of the range, but then magically losos it's speed advantage and can't pull out farther???? You're either faster, or you're not!

A single ship can kamikaze to destroy an entire fleet, and apparently no one though about such obvious tactic.

Welp, I guess Star Wars really is dead. I'm even happier for having skipped this one in theaters than the last one. Anyway, while The Mandate and Star Citizen seem to be boned, Limit Theory actually seems to be back in active, the-dev-isn't-pushing-himself-into-a-nervous-breakdown-again development. It was even playable at Pax South last month or whenever that was. Anybody interested in a full copy or quick summary of the latest backer e-mail now that it seems to be back on the rails?

>>14280404

this is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever seen

>>14280721

It is, but it breaks the entire Star Wars.

>>14285211

Indeed.

Now it is possible for ships to be used as relativistic kill vehicles and relativistic kill missiles become a thing.

Considering that CIS had droids which fought to the death, it wouldn't be far fetched to think about building fighter droids that had no weapons but their maneuvering engines and hyper space engine and enough mass to screw everythings day.

>>14285156

Where's that from?

>>14285236

The only thing that would salvage this would be hyperspace drives being too expensive to be used as weapons willy nilly, but people have been using them for space travel for millenia already, there are probably billions of ships equipped with drives in the galaxy and no indication that they are recycled.

>>14285252

This. It would only work as an excuse if an Hyperdrive was MORE expensive than an entire fleet.

But hey, that fleet also has dozens of hyper-drives, so you're already trading one for a dozen (or more), nevermind the cost of the ships themselves.

And I thought "boy, that Star-Killer base thing was retarded".

>>14285252

The real problem as I take it is that, normally, vessels simply don't keep speed coming out of hyperspace. You are either in GOES FAST mode, where you are in a parallel reality 'coterminous with realspace, with a unique point in realspace being associated with a unique point in hyperspace' or you are in realspace, where you cannot GO FAST. Entering and exiting abruptly forces one to accelerate or stop. Thus the trippy sudden appearance-slammed brakes look of vessels jumping into view in Star Wars. If one is in Hyperspace, one is not in Realspace. Ergo, you can't ram anything at hyperspace velocity, because you do not exist for the ramee. Exceptions of accidental hyperspace collisions do exist, but all those I'm skimming over in the Hazards section of the Wookiepedia article have to do with gravity well collisions, which technically speaking are realspace collisions at post-Hyperspace normal velocity, because if your jump leads through a gravity well, you stop dead. Where and when is a bit inconsistent, but the general rule is that gravity will under varying circumstances act like a dead stop or a brick wall. This makes it very difficult to ram anything, because again, either the target does not exist until you hit the brakes, or the target is a natural or artificial interdictor and you can't get within spitting distance in a jump. The calculation necessary to hit anything in the initial warming-up zip out of realspace, before you hit hyperspace, under the assumption that you are not already in hyperspace the moment you start superaccelerating into a jump, is likely too troublesome for it to be done with any consistency. There is undoubtedly a minimum and maximum range span, and it is stringent.

The one specific example of a planet getting hyperspace rammed is an old EU canon anecdote from The Essential Guide to Warfare, where the Praetor class battlecruiser Quaestor making an unintended jump due to its drive suffering damage in combat with a Seperatist fleet, causing it to ram through and destroy the planet Pammant. Considering this was with a damaged drive, it is unclear as to whether they actually reached Hyperspace velocities, ordinary relativistic velocities, or if the ship was split between baryonic-relativistic & tachyonic-hyperspace matter, with the former partially tethered to the latter and acting as the kill-weapon while the latter phased through to end up who knows where. Considering only the core of Pammant was 'destroyed,' whatever this more exactingly means, while the atmosphere was merely bathed in radiation it's in fact likely the ship didn't even manage to reach 'true' relativistic velocity, and instead reached around the 14% speed-of-light mark or somewhere thereabouts & punctured the core, causing immense tectonic & magnetic disruption as the magma sea and metallic core are disrupted, but not quite destroying the planetary body or even rendering it permanently/universally uninhabitable. This uncertainty, combined with the 'can't normally hyperspace through gravity wells' caveat, and the fact that the far smaller Eclipse & Sovereign class dreadnoughts had integral gravity well generators- and probably generated their own modest gravity distortion field simply by existing as 15-17.5 kilometer long slabs of superdense space metal, with huge pyramidal draft/keel & width to match- makes it patently fucking ridiculous that a perfect hyperspace ram was accomplished through an entire fleet of 3000 meter battlecruisers into a sixty kilometer wide, thirteen thousand kilometer long, four thousand meter high boomerang super-dreadnought to perfect effect, off the cuff, all calculations done by an implicitly nepotistic staff officer from her own station with no visible assistance.

>>14285662

Combined with the variables of the ship in the only slightly more credible Pammant anecdote being a larger battlecruiser- a good thousand meters longer than the MC85 "Raddus", likely wider and slightly taller going by the narrow Mon'Calamari profile versus the Star Destroyer profile and the Praetor likely having the same polygonal spinal bulge as the Praetor II- in unknown proximity, the unknown nature of a physics-illegal jump inside a gravity well versus on outside of it (which should allow for a clean jump to Hyperspace and thus no ramming) and the fact that the anecdote is from a third-generation reference book, dealing with the particulars of mundane warfare & technology, the only potentially reliable account for this sort of thing from the only canon that matters to anyone who isn't Disney is rather a bit low on the totem pole of canon. There is one more credible example of a hyperspace exploitation weapon in the form of the Galaxy Gun. But the Galaxy Gun is more of a missile silo firing kamikaze drone-submarines than anything; its projectiles don't impact at hyperspace velocities or even ordinary relativistic velocities. Rather, the gun launches the perhaps corvette-sized projectile, which then jumps into hyperspace at Class .75 drive speed, gets as close as possible to the target, and then drops into realspace. It then raises shields, activates defensive weapons, acquires its target, and proceeds to accelerate at (admittedly probably very fast) sublight speeds to destroy the target with its particle disintegration warhead, with 'target' ranging from city at lowest to planet at largest. Needless to say, this is very different from relativistic hyperspace ramming, and making a droid ship/missile that is purpose designed to enter a state of mundane sub or semi-relativistic GOES FAST outside hyperspace is far harder than making a starfighter or capital ship enter a useful state of simultaneous velocity & realspace existence to ram a target using drives that are by nature and likely by design for safety's sake not to allow this to happen.

From the Wookiepedia Legends article on Hyperspace, the relevant section on the divide between realspace & hyperspace. They exist in separate strands of spacetime, regardless of their parallel connection to one another. Note that there is no non-Legends article, meaning Disney assuredly does not give a shit.

>Normally, baryonic matter in realspace would obey physical principles of relativity: it would increase asymptotically in mass as it accelerated towards the speed of light, requiring more and more energy to approach it, but even at infinite values never surpassing the speed of light threshold. Tachyonic matter, on the other hand, existed at values solely above the speed of light, and could not decrease lower than the light-speed barrier.

<Hyperdrive technology allowed sentients to bypass this barrier, making use of a trans-physical effect to create ripples in space-time. A hyperdrive-equipped ship would propel off these ripples to "jump" into hyperspace, allowing it to traverse the galaxy at speeds of hundreds or even thousands of times the speed of light. Hyperspace was an alternate dimension of space-time, similar to subspace or otherspace, that was coterminous with realspace: each point in realspace was associated with a unique point in hyperspace. Essentially, a ship traveling galactic north in realspace as it jumped to hyperspace would travel north in hyperspace too. Every object in realspace, like stars or planets, also had a "shadow" in hyperspace at the same location it occupied in realspace

While this is true, suction will be spread evenly in all directions unlike blowing which keeps its momentum and goes relatively straight more like a cone but whatever.

You can try it yourself by sucking air in through near pursed lips and holding your fingers in front of your mouth. You have to suck really hard for you to feel the air moving even barely a cm away from your lips. That said there isn't no air moving but it's coming from all around. If you suck through a straw it will take from the straw first then everything around the end of the straw. Refer to crab and ms paint drawing for what happens with massive suction in these scenarios. If the room is big and open then the suction wouldn't be so directional as to blow out the whole contents of the craft but if it's long and thin (like with a breach at the end of a hallway) it will suck a lot more stuff out or at least move it very far. The distance something is moved is dependent on the amount of relatively high pressure gas behind it as well as the pressure gradient. So basically if you have your back against the far wall you probably won't be moved much at all while if you're the dumbass that opened the airlock with a grenade and without depressurising while standing right in front of it you're getting blown to space. Pressure gradient as a method of moving something is also more effective if the only way for the pressure to equalise is to move the object out of the way first otherwise it will use a lot of that potential energy going around the object rather than pushing it (like blowing a spitball out of a straw as opposed to blowing at it on a desk).

Notice how the crab is able to get very close to the crack in the pipe before it gets sucked in but then also notice that the closer it gets the suction gets exponentially stronger. Also note the sand kicked up by the crab is still being sucked in via a small wisp showing there is still some suction there.

A pressurized enviroment being exposed to a vacuum will cause all the pressure to get sucked into the no pressure vacuum and disperse. A human being exposed to vacuum and surviving is even more retarded. Leia should have literally just exploded with the pieces getting flash frozen because of the extreme cold of space because the same principle that applies to space ships also apply to the human body as well. however the human body doesn't have the durability of a space ship.

Freespace 2 Open.

While I'm on the subject, I came across this video recently. I want that gunsight. Anyone know how I can get that gunsight?

(Also, for anyone considering FS2 Open, that video isn't representative of how the game looks now. It's much better than in the video.)

>>14280404

Let's review

Honestly, with FS2 Open, we don't really need someone to make another space game. FS2 Open can do just about anything you'd want a space game to do, and the community is very active. I'm wondering if it could even do modern-day fighter jet gameplay and become the moddable Ace Combat that I so wanted Vector Thrust to be.

By the way, I'm still looking for a way to use the gunsight I mentioned here: >>14297243.

>>14318242

play X1 first

>>14318242

If you want to play all three you should start with reunion, then TC and finally AP. They become objectively less clunky in that order so going in the opposite order feels like shit.

Otherwise just play TC or AP.

So what is going on with Infinity Battlescape?

>>14280964

When you consider Disney era Star Wars and 343i era Halo both are asspull centrals of bullshit that make no sense and only ruin the characters and story they are trying to write. It's almost like they compliment each other as a cautionary tale of how to fuck up a money printer just by having fuckwit retarded writers who may or may not have even seen/played the original trilogy.

>>14318242

The person telling you to play X1 is trolling you, ignore him. I've played every X game and here's my summary:

X1 - Shit. Nothing like the other X games.

X2 - IMO this one has superior aesthetics, and neat details such as ship cockpits and station interiors. It's a solid game, but the mechanics were a bit dated, yet I can't really remember how. I mostly just remember the ship designs from this one. I think it was mostly just due to how it is lacking direct upgrades the sequels offered, like station complexes, player HQs, etc. The economy was also a lot weaker, and overall the game was extremely slow to progress in.

X3:R - Direct upgrade over X2, has the Hyperion pre-nerf, which is the best ship ever. Progression still slow, economy still weak.

X3:TC - Direct upgrade over X3:R. Hyperion is nerfed, but it's cool because now you have the Vidar pre-nerf, which is a rape machine. Adds new ship classes like frigates (M7), and mini carriers (TM) that are the size of freighers but can carry a few fighters, and the Terrans, a whole new faction with cool ships and new weapons. Also Terran sectors but they're fucking awful and too big so they take forever to traverse. Questlines are actually kind of enjoyable and give you lots of free ships, including the Vidar if you're Terran. Progression is much faster through the ships you can get from missions and the fact that missions are much easier to find and pay better than in X3:R. I think this is where the stock market was introduced as well, which is hilariously exploitable.

X3:AP - Never played vanilla. Install Litcube's Universe instead, which is the best X3 experience. Very strong economy, better battles, much much quicker progression.

Sorry if these summaries are kind of shit, it's been a while since I've played them.

>>14313810

>tfw no one has sat down and just made a straight forward space combat game in the vein of Freespace or the Star Wars fighter series

That's like every single space game, and is why I'm so sad about the state of space games though. I'm sick of all these gay ass faggot planes in space games that every single space game apparently has to be.

>>14321439

But that's not at all what current space games are like. No one's made something like Freespace since, well, Freespace. It's all open-world trading/mercenary stuff now.

>>14321799

House of the Dying Sun sort of is, mainly a Starfighter/RTS hybrid though. I still am pretty pissed the dev took away the open world mode where you fought over control of starsystems; having complete control on how you approach objectives and accomplish them, what you can order in as a fleet, for a series of linear missions you can complete all in under 2hrs with no replayability. Means seriously what the fuck was the dev thinking? Give us the old version of the game!

>>14321799

Yeah, sure stuff is "open-world" now, but they're still just shitty mindless planes in space games focused on dogfighting. The X series is still the only one that managed to be more than that.

Palleon was pretty much legendary in the old EU, being the one to single-handedly preserve the Imperial Remnant in the outer rim after the New Republic chased them out of the core worlds. It helps that he was consistently portrayed to be competent and actually a man of honour.

That he was axed for this… soyboy. Well, not impressed to say the least.

>>14338371

W-what?

>>14338371

Are there any pretty ones anon?

>>14338584

There's like 36 of them so there's bound to be at least a decent one.

>>14339214

The highest payload ever carried by a plane was about 300 tonnes. The falcon heavy that was launched not long ago weighed nearly 2,000 tonnes.

>>14339214

I'm no expert on the subjet, but my guess would be that it involves the issues of operating jet engines above 15km height, which is possible but requires a specialised plane, along with the heavy engines and large fuel consumption required to do this.

Sure, launching into orbit from 15 km to 20 km in the air is a lot easier than than the surface, but that engine and all the fuel needed for it is an awful lot of crap for the spaceship to haul the rest of the way up, crap that takes away from your ships payload (all the stuff that isn't just fuel and engines).

If you really want a modern tech spaceship that can easily haul large quantities into space, what you want is Project Orion or a NSWR style rocket, and both of those are "politically impractical"…

>>14339308

That's just it though, a lot of that is the fuel, which is needed for the ground-launches.

Would it be feasible to strap a couple of those re-usable falcon boosters to the side to get it going?

>>14339315

This is why we need mass drivers for cargo… :s

I guess what I'm referencing would just be a passenger thing.

>>14339308

>>14339315

Really the best option is probably space cable from GEO once we can get the nanostructures figured out so the width doesn't have to be wider than the planet.

>>14339355

If you want a megastructure for orbital launch, then the elevator isn't really the way to go.

You can only have so many cars on one cable after all.

A launch belt would make it cheaper to shoot cargo into space, or if you really want to go big, a artificial ring around the equator of the whole planet, from where you can drop down thousands if not millions of far shorter cables while still being able to launch spaceships from above the atmosphere from the ring itself, are, cheaper options (in terms of cost per kilo of payload brought into orbit when operating at full capacity, not the cost of the project itself, which in both cases would be monstrously expensive)

>>14339383 here, just a quick correction, I meant a Launch Loop not a launch belt…

>>14339402

Alright mr. genius, what's your plan for cheap getting-to-space

>>14280716

What the fuck? Does this bitch have pink hair?

>>14345731

Because Hyperspace isn't supposed to be able to do that in the lore.

In the lore, when shit goes into hyperspace it becomes intangible and massless, thus allowing its regular drive to push it up to its FTL speeds while in hyperspace. This also means you can't actually ram anything in real space when enjoying the accelleration and speeds hyperspace make possible. Just watch out for the gravity wells of big things in real space, since those can fuck you up in hyperspace, you just can't hurt them back.

>>14345967

>Just watch out for the gravity wells of big things in real space, since those can fuck you up in hyperspace, you just can't hurt them back.

So that's why Han was still worried about flying through a star without precise calculations from the nav computer, and why Interdictors work?

>>14313826

Wait, what? When did this happen?

>>14346644

Never played it. I was interested and planning on playing it on release, but apparently they just randomly decided to remove the sandbox gamemode entirely, which is the only thing I was interested in. They turned it into a campaign game only. Lots of people were pissed about this.

>>14346368

Exactly. In Star Wars lore, flying through a sufficiently strong gravity well, natural or artificial, will pull you out of hyperspace–hyperdrives in-universe all have built-in failsafes that immediately drop a ship out of hyperspace if it experiences any of the sort of gravitational strain indicating entry into an unexpected gravity well, or if the navigational computer sees that the ship is just about to fly into one on the charts. I'd imagine that flying deep into a gravity well in hyperspace would simply pull the ship apart, straining it beyond what the inertial damping field could handle. The term Mass Shadow I believe refers to both gravity wells, as well as the literal projections of celestial bodies, which tended to shatter anything that hit them at superluminal speeds into subatomic particles.

>>14348095

Remember, freedom of choice is bad goyim! :^)

>>14350137

It's from a waifu mod

>>14350165

>The whole thing goes up to 15-20 km high, and the shuttle disconnects and fires off from this height. The jet platform can go and land.

….So like the rocket boosters on the Falcon?

>>14351247

Yes except jets, which because I'm talking out of my ass I perceive to be more fuel efficient than rocket boosters.

>>14351256

Jets are ridiculously inefficient until they get to a high altitude. So by the time they get to a height where they are fuel efficient, they're already done and are ready to land in this scenario.

>>14351256

No jet has the kind of thrust that a solid rocket booster has. That's why planes need wings to stay airborne while a rocket doesn't give a shit about air and in fact would have an easier time flying without it.

>>14346368

Don't feel bad, there's historically been a lot of experimentation based on the concept of launching a rocket from a jet, and there are multiple systems in development to do just that, like the Stratolaunch and Virgin Galactic's LauncherOne. The issue is all the scalability problems you have with the weight of the rocket and the size of the necessary launch vehicle–it works for small rocketplanes, but anything big enough to go further than suborbital flight or Low Earth Orbit, or to carry anything besides cubesats or a few passengers, would require an unfeasibly large and inefficient carrier plane.
