Our lord and saviour Christ Roberts hath bestowed upon us glimpses of his upcoming flight model refactor for all flyable Jpegs in the verse, yet the backers are oddly distraught in the face of such divinity.
Don't they know that it's perfectly realistic for large jpegs capable of planetary landing to take 3/4s of an hour to escape from a low-g planetoid's gravity?
Were the space tow trucks part of his plan and will any publisher be mad/desperate enough to buy SC when it inevitably crashes with no survivors following Squadron 42's projected 2021-2022 release date?

I'm actually in their special secret testing club testing this shit right now. We're limited to just a small light fighter for testing and that bitch slides all over the place like you'd think it was eight times it's size. You literally can't even make it through their race track mode at a speed higher than "crop dusters would zoom right past you" without crashing. Also, while the flight system isnt actuall that terrible in theory, the way they laid the controls out and their naming system for the controls and functions is so fucking bizarrely illogical and convoluted that even after playing the tech demo off and on for years it still took me a hour just to figure out how to unfuck the new 3.5 controls and rebind them into something close to how a normal person would design a space game to work like.
I dread seeing what unplayable bullshit the medium sized jpgs are going to fly like if even one of the most agile fighters in the game flies like a lead filled bathtub sliding on ice.

Wasn't the IFCS supposed to prevent those sliding maneuvers outside of deliberation or decoupled flight?
Also does the Gladius(I assume you're testing these) have improved vertical pitching like it was shown at Citizencon?
The new FM is said to calculate flight behaviour according thruster placement, thruster output and jpeg mass+lift instead of .xml files, with some jpegs supposedly getting better/worse maneuverability on certain axes.

I haven't noticed a major difference between pitch and yaw speeds so far. Though frankly, I'm not a fan of the whole space ships banking to turn idea anyway, it kills the whole point of them being space ships if they fly like jet fighters. And the idea of the new FM is that you have now full control of the IFCS instead of preset speeds. In fact that slider for it basically replaces what use to just be throttle slider. It's just that currently anything over 200 m/s max speed basically sends you drifting all over the damn place

Yes, that's what the new limiter slider is for. But the problem is that 200m/s is just slow as fuck for highest speed you can go and still safely make a 90 degree turn without massive uncontrollable drift. That's slower than what some WWII planes could do. Basic bitch commercial airliners cruise at that speed. And this is for a small star fighter that is suppose to be the space equivalency to a fucking F-16.
>How retarded is the atmospheric flight model?
Not even playable yet. We're limited to just their tiny arena combat map and race track at the moment. The actual open universe section isn't playable in the test server yet, and they never had the basic common sense to make a planet side arena map to easily test atmospheric combat and ground vehicles.

Yeah, it doesn't even need to be AI controlled. I wish CIG would make some sort of drone carrier where your crew mates could control the drones by remote from the safety of the heavily armored mother ship. It would be a billion times more fun and effective than the fucking WWII style manned turret pods they slap on all the larger ships in the worst positions possible.
But it's fucking Star Citizen so even if they did make such a thing it would be a bloated mess that they would sell for over a thousand dollars that would take years to grind for in any sort of actual finished version of the game.

It needed strafing movement so it would have been less planes in space. Also more ship types available on each mission would have helped make the tactical stuff more interesting than just a immersive way to explain extra lives.
What I'd like is a sequel to Everspace that ditches the roguelike shit for an open world campaign. The combat was great, the graphics were shiny, the plot wasn't completely unbearable. But the game being stuck as just a progression of randomly generated maps you fight and explore through till you get bored and warp to the next map until you either die or have to start over was a waste of everything else that was great about it.

464c58 No.16202445
>>16202395
>I'm talking crazy Descent type movement
That would make for horrible dogfights IMO. Descent was a solid game, but it's control scheme is adapted for you to easily maneuver in confined spaces. It wouldn't make much sense in a wide open space environment, and certainly not in large battles. It would just be "point and shoot+ circle strafe" all day every day.
>that button just disconnected your ships rotation from flight movment
And it was executed great compared to literally any other space game, in that it enabled you to make rapid rotations at high speed like it should.
I would add strafing to the HotDS model instead going with the Everspace flight model. Being able to apply lateral thrusters whilst in drift mode would make it much better for flybys on large ships by allowing the pilot to better evade, while still retaining the high velocity and momentum of the more aircraft-like control systems.

Most people that I know of (including my cuntself) became a "Quality Assurance Tester" which is just a fancy name for the job, got it by playing a 'work in progress' game at either a convention or by sheer luck then finding some bugs in the build and pointing them out to one of the developers watching your ass play it.

That 'opening' is always getting applications because it sounds like an easy gig, even highschoolers sign up for it. Going through that route is like the lottery and companies are 100% aware of this too.
