LTT Conglomerate main discussion thread

[DamDirtyApe]

I want to deal in trading. but I might also be dabbling in mining, engineering, and salvaging. id also be happy to be a mercenary for someone in UOLTT transporting something expensive, since I also have an 325A. 

 

Right on. I'll be sure to think of you the second I need help with anything like that.

 

I'm purchasing a Hornet myself to have along my Constellation. So in game, lemme know if I can do anything to help you out with. I'm honestly down for anything. I'll just mostly be in deep space.

[DamDirtyApe]

Can't wait to see the Eve Titan equivalent ships in Star Citizen!

 

Likley to be the Bengal. Or Bengal class ships in the future. Though people say the Bengal is a military ship, meaning NPC only more than likely.

[Jaybird]

I am home. You ? 

Been here for nearly a year now.

Hey guys, how do you think the controls are? I've seen a massdrop on those kinda flight simulators and someone said that they needed this for star citizen. But those things are expensive; would a mouse+keyboard be fine? Or are those flight simulators for those hardcore dudes or peeps who want an extra immersive simulation experience?

I mean I suck pretty badly in bf4 with the jets. It's partly because whenever I press A or D for the rudder turns, it goes too far left or right. It's like yawing or what ever. I can't really target it with my mouse because that's for flying up, down, and spinning around (barrel rolls: that kinda spinning).

Still haven't decided if spending so much money on a ship is worth it. But then again, I should not overlook the ability to buy ships with the ingame currency, how long that will take no one knows. but I know that I will work with you guys (or......Redd) together for a more fun experience and for bigger fish!

If they're going for realism, maybe like Space Engineers. From what I can tell only based on my limited knowledge and visual understandings, Space Engineers acts fairly realistic. And unlike many other games which also require thrusters in different positions for steering, in Space Engineers you can really see and feel them during flight. Star Citizen is definitely using the same idea, most notable on the P-52 Merlin. It has quad thrusters on the nose in order to steer it. Reason why people are predicting the Cutlass will be incredibly agile as well.

 

And being with the CryEngine, only comparing it to other games, you imagine there will be a LOT of weight to throw around on certain ships. Weight as in mass. Accelerating and decelerating in all directions. So likely some ships will feel like driving a whale, while others might feel like driving a. Uh. Golf cart.

 

The controls seem very simplified though. WASDQE for main steering. And likely a Throttle + and -. Maybe like ARMA. God, I hope not like ARMA. But maybe like ARMA controls, but more realistic weight and shifting abilities which can be seen in Space Engineers.

i feel like ill need to pack a barf bag before i enter my ship. if we are going to get 75% realism, Id expect newton's laws to play in effect. I can live with out having to place my ship in an orbit though, KSP eats my lunch every time.

I can envision a hardcore mode where you have to manually control, track, and set every flight based element as you like. From what I have gathered there is a way to enable fly by wire which means that if you want to do it all yourself, fine great go for it, at the risk of killing yourself because you tried to pull 10gs in a sharp turn.

you do realize fly by war means you are manual doing it all. fly by wire originates from airplane terms. old airplane used to be flown using wire to control the rutter, elevators, and ailerons. this is different today where most jets are flown using hydraulics aka computer controlled.

 

*I could be wrong in my interpretation from what Chris Roberts meant by fly-by-wire.

I see, learned something new today! From the video I saw it sounded like disabling it is what allowed free control but I must have heard it wrong. Good to know though!

[DamDirtyApe]

 Lol the 300i

 

BMW of the skies.

I want it soooo much. But the Avenger meets more of my needs. Maybe after I get my Hornet In-game.

Get an Oculus Rift, or whatever it's gonna be called after the lawsuit, then cop one of these. Or something equivalent.

Yeah. For a first ship the Avenger is, in my opinion, the best ship. Looks good, cargo storage, seems capable of dog fighting. What more could you want for a first ship? And the price is PERFECT. You really can only compare the Cutlass to it, feature wise, and that's a good chunk of money more.

 

Though, I'm with you. 300i is one of the coolest ships. When I bought my girlfriend hers, it was sitting in my bay until Valentines Day. I miss seeing it, lol.

[AlexGoesHigh]

just upgrade my aurora LN for a cutlass after so many time waiting for saving money 

 

@ixi_your_face update the ship list whit one more cutlass and one less aurora

 

edit: forgot to say i also snatched the game universe map, i hope it comes handy for the first PU release

 

edit 2: lol just today the released hangar patch 11

[Emperor_Piehead]

Wow guys filled my inbox today  :lol:

 

Great to see how active this thread is

[geogga]

How do you brake? Is it like thrusters pushing back ?

Oh I forgot to mention when CR and his team demonstrated the early dogfighting, they used controllers or the mouse/KB, I forgot which one but they seemed okay even in early stage.

Still thinking about ships, i do hope insurance will not cost too much but not too little or else you'll spam it, I foresee getting killed by vanduuls and super hornets in seconds and getting surrounded by two constellations quite often so I would much prefer to play only when the LTTC members are on. Maybe for my entire collection I'd like to get a large ship, Ike the constellation or maybe partake in the journey of a idris (if any LTT member has one), a dog fighter like the super hornet or something cheaper like the normal hornet or 325a. And then a cargo, I don't think I could be able to get a skyfarer, but hopefully something similar when they release more ships.

yea I'm hoping to get the avenger it looks cool and has some mysterious sleeping quarters which i hope will be used to contain my prisoners

Updated ship list?

 

[DamDirtyApe]

That was such a tease. Shaking my head, lol.

[AlexGoesHigh]

Updated ship list?

 

damn we have everything expect an irdris and the scythe 

[geogga]

Hey guys, I watched the hornet commerical with the hornet being chased by an aurora and then I think a 300 series.

First,  is the super hornet or the normal hornet with different guns? the two gatlings on each wing looked great as well as those two long guns on top as well as under the nose, I really want that and will hope its the normal hornet

Second, which 300 series is that? The firepower looks like nothing compared to the hornet in the trailer but as with all the 300 series its more look than power

In the video it showed off the top-of-the-line hornet a.k.a. Super Hornet like most companies do.  You can tell by the turret on the top yet you can always purchase that with UEC (the in-game currency).  Also in the video the 300 series you saw was most likely the 325a or at least a 300i outfitted with the 325a equivalent armaments.  

 

You are right about it is not about how good your firepower is but how good you are with your guns.  That is what Star Citizen is all about.  It is about building and fine tuning your ship to cater to your needs so you don't need to have the most powerful ship but one that is best for you.  If your best is the most powerful than go for it but if you want to be stealthy then there is a updgrade path for you.  I hope this helps and see up there in the stars.

Updated ship list?

 

How does the ship list work?  Do we need to vote what ship we have or is it just through the Star Citizen website?  I am assuming that we don't only have 281 ships...  Can't wait to see a new count and I am happy that I can contribute!
