That would be pretty cool especially with all the testing they’re doing now😁 To be honest, I would just be happy to see pyro in the PU and also a look at the next system that they’re working on. I don’t really care much for SQ42 but I hope it is a success. I really hope they get that win for the masses to come to the PU as i’m sure some of the SQ42 player numbers will move over to the PU. I just wonder how they will fund the PU after that point? Maybe cosmetics? More ships? If they go the ship route then there will 100% be a natural power creep and pay to win aspect introduced which I am terrified of. Then again all the ships should be purchasable in game at some point? So who knows…

That’s a great idea, but too many people have told me they appreciate the short bite sized video that I do here. Maybe a new weekly series with standalone videos of general community topics would work. I don’t know i’ll think about it though 😁👍

@@faintanomaly don't over work yourself!

Yah man CIG really needs a win right now, That 40-45$ Argo ATLS left a bad taste in a lot of players mouth. I hope they knock it out the park!😃

@@faintanomaly THAT THING IS $40?!?!

@@StarLeader44 Yip, mind boggling that they thought that was okay, no components, it can't fly, you can't sleep in it... I don't know how they got to the price of 40$ other than it taking time to develop the new systems for the mech, but yah people aren't happy

@@faintanomaly Wow. Just wow.

Its fun and usually works for me however npcs are still prone to kamikazeing you while landing lol

I’ll be honest i’ve only jumped in once and didn’t really try the cargo stuff, used the new hangers though and my experience was flawless. I’ve been feeling very demotivated lately with the game, it’s tough to cover as well because everything online is very negative right now, and i think rightfully so. But it makes it difficult to cover the project in a upbeat and positive light.

@@faintanomaly Yeah the mood rn is pretty bleak. Hopefully that changes with new found stability in the game. Speaking of which, it sounds like it's a good time to hop back in!

The changes to the Zues mk2 were very nice, I must say, moving it to a 3.24.1/2 patch was a good move to win some folks back

I would've voted for the MSR all the way through, but it fell out, so I started voting for the F8C :)

Anytime man and that’s alright, i’m also not playing the game right now, i go through phases of like months where i don’t touch the game, it can get rather stale without there being any true progression. I just play once the itch gets to a point where i have to log in again.😂 So i’m very familiar with what you’re feeling, but i’m gonna hold out till the game finishes even if that takes many years😂

Yah great time for new peeps to join in, I'd of preferred if they did it with the launch of 3.24 though.

I heard from a couple guys that it’s pretty far along, it’s being held up by a couple significant blockers but while the teams were working on getting those big things out the way, many other teams were fixing loads of the smaller ones. So even though it’s late it should be a pretty stable patch in terms of the small annoying bugs being sorted out already

Thanks brother, appreciate the kind word!🙏🏻🙏🏻

Much Appreciated ! Glad you enjoyed my little short video, I do these with each new weekly update

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Literally not the point of an alpha. Alpha development is for features and beta is when they work on bug fixes. The game is waaaay more stable from a server standpoint, than it was a year ago. Replication layer has largely worked well this patch. They just need meshing to come into play and then performance should skyrocket once the kinks are ironed out.

@@DigiBentoBox mate its been in alpha for 10 years lol when is the beta? in another 10? like seriously, one thing is poor piss performance, another is the server being completely retarded all the time. I played 2 years ago and I suffered way less server issues than im experiencing now

@@DigiBentoBox well ill be dead by the time they finish the game

I Love the MSR one

😂 no I am not AI, i just have the flow of the video series quite well at this point

@@faintanomaly It was all the irrelevant footage that made me think it was AI. Most of the footage in this video is from CIG presentations and not in-game footage which lead me to think it wasn't made by a person currently playing the game. Not to mention the footage didn't match up to your talking points so it was very disconnected imo.

@@PandaTheGray I can understand the confusion.

That’s a shame, i’m sorry to hear that ☹️ i guess i got luckily with mine

@@faintanomaly It was mostly just an over spawning glitch, anywhere between 20-40 enemy ships Everytime I tried it. No chance in an Aurora. It's probably doable in a better ship.

Yah super unfortunate, was just checking the page to see!

Anytime, Thanks for watching !

I think it will be on in a couple hours, the time zone delay says it should be online in about 8 hours from now.

It’s a pleasure to have you part of the community 🙏🏻 thanks for watching the video!

Sure man😁👍 glad you liked it🙏🏻

Anytime man, Thanks for watching!

Anytime man, Should be another coming out tonight, just waiting on the weekly update from CIG 😁👍

Interesting so what kind of games are you into these days? I do get where you're coming from though, as I got older I started enjoying more flight simulators and vehicle combat games, but I used to really love FPS games back in the day, this game however, got me excited to play FPS again.

@@faintanomaly I ditched tarkov recently and got back to SC. Solo mole mining in arial in those barren deserts, it has been almost therapeutical lol with some podcast running in the background as if it was a radio playing discussions 1k years ago lol got also into Soulmask, pretty good so far, despite being EA.

Me too, it’s something different, I was initially on the edge, but i’m so glad I ended up pulling the trigger on it 😂 I think this game will see regular updates too, the 2 devs really seem to be enthusiastic about their project😁👍

I believe point defence system are actually planned to be in the game, if i’m not mistaken. CIG has spoken about these concepts a couple times in the past, they feel that they could add them but then they’d lose the “game” aspect, they want people to have things to do while playing the game, and having most of the in game systems automated would mean that players would have a lot more down time. They want star citizen to be a game you play with friends and random players you meet along the way, interaction is important to them. But don’t forget, there’s AI planned for the game, you’d be able to hire crew to help you manage your ship and the AI could help to keep up with many of these tasks on board your ship. I wouldn’t worry too much if I were you, CIG wants the game to be fun. But realism and a “fun” game has always been been a balance that they’re mindful of of 👍 Thanks for the comment

I can't wait for this one in particular to be released, this is the most gorgeous ship in the game to me

Thanks man, the channel has progressed a lot since these older videos, you should check out some of the newer stuff I have on the channel 👍

Thank you, if you like this you'd love the pirating video on this ship - th-cam.com/video/3gy9j0MQShw/w-d-xo.html

Sweet well I’ll try to keep to a high standard for you and hopefully get even better🙏🏻👍

@@faintanomaly I'm sure you will! Looking forward to it :)

I tried to find the most piratey song i could😂

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 if you like edits I think the best one I’ve done is the MSR showcase video m.th-cam.com/video/vYkaleiJG-U/w-d-xo.html

Thanks man, I try to keep them short for people that just want the news for the week, super quick😁👍

Thanks Man! Glad you enjoyed it

Ahhh man, well there's always IAE later this year, I'm sure they'll have another sale on some of the starter packages then. Which package were you eyeballing?

@@faintanomaly i mainly wanted to upgrade my arrow

Goodluck man🙏🏻🙏🏻 I hope you guys have a ball of a time!

I see where you’re coming from, but i’m still hyped for this ship😂 it’s kinda cozy 😂

@@faintanomaly I hope when alll the textures and colors are in, that the interior look great too.

@@Pharesm I'm not sure if you've seen the latest Q&A with the devs yet, but apparently the interior of this ship set a new standard, so I'm very excited for the interior. oh and if you wanna check it out here's the link and a time stamp 59 minutes in exactly th-cam.com/video/71uiBVajvFE/w-d-xo.html

lol yah, at this point they're just gonna launch it and the game will just get regular updates, that will probably happen after pyro

Dam man that's horrible, have you tried a clean install? wiping everything and doing it over? I installed clean this time and I haven't had any Issues yet

The new patch also just dropped this morning maybe you have better stability with this one

That's a longer term goal for these videos, up until recently I didn't have the smoothest computer for star citizen, but I did upgrade now, so I'd like to work in some of my own footage from time to time. Glad you liked the video 😁

What don’t you like about master modes? So far i’ve been finding it pretty fun, but it could just be the way I personally play the game. There’s definitely a lot more keybindings

@@faintanomaly Thanks for responding Mr. Anomaly. I started playing 3 months before 3.23 came out, so that should give this some context. The flight model and the way ships worked was simple, logical, and felt really intuitive in atmo and zero G. The big rub for me is that the ships are unnecessarily convoluted now and combat has been boiled down to whoever has the higher DPS (in the case of two fighters fighting) or faster strafe (smaller ship vs. heavier) will inevitably win the 150-200 m/s strafe and aim fest that is 3.23 combat. In 3.22 we could maneuver, strategize, joust if necessary, and even circle strafe an enemy if we were skilled enough. No matter the size ship, I always felt I had a chance in PVP or PVE combat. Now the ships feel kind of clunky and slow, though I'm not sure what changed in the actual physical flight model. Master Modes forces me to take a lot of damage because combat can only occur in <200 m/s speeds. In my opinion, they took what made this game unique and made it into a CoD-like min/max battle where the fastest strafing ship with the highest DPS weapons will win any given engagement. I'm just glad I've been playing on a friend's account so I don't have any money sunk into the game in case they don't make some changes for the positive. This is not to mention the myriad tiny issues and basic systems that are built on sand. 3.23 is lipstick on a pig.

Alright I think I see where you're coming from. Your main concern seems to stem from combat not having the same "opportunities" it used to, in other words, more limited for the ships that could've escaped sticky situations in previous patches, now potentially getting crushed, up close, from the close range engagements. I can see where you're coming from, previous patches probably made fights more unpredictable and by extension more exciting. Am I correct in my understanding that you're more concerned with what we lost, than what we gained? Do you feel like we gained anything from patch 3.23? Does the patch have any merits? I think this new patch has definitely added complexity with the 3 sub modes under the 2 main modes... I myself have got stuck with this a couple times but I think I'll get used to it. What I don't get is why we can't have shields in NAV mode. It's not like anyone will be able to shoot us, if they are in SCM and we are in NAV mode, we'll be 2 times faster than them, so escape should be easy. Shields also make sense incase you bump stations or mess up landings. I think the combat aspect will improve over time with many passes of ship stats. I just want to know if Master Modes are so broken that the Tweaks that will eventually happen, won't be enough? or will we have to go back to the old way? do we stick to this and tough it out? who knows...

@@faintanomaly Fights before made more sense too, in a way. Why would a manufacturer make a ship limited to 200m/s when there's no legit reason to in a fight? Like...one manufacturer would just make a ship that could behave like 3.22 ships (high speed capable, shields always up, stealth, easy to use functions without switching modes, etc.) and just dominate the star system. Yeah, the shields in nav mode thing is a killer. If you try to break contact then you end up dying to missiles as you jet away without shields... I don't mean to come off all negative, but it seems like 3.23 is all fluff and no substance. They made the UI better, but the gameplay is worse somehow. Contracts barely accept and track and cargo disappears even more than before. It's just frustrating to play right now.

@@leehrvyoswld No no you're not coming off negative, I see where you're coming from and I understand many of the points you raise. I'm just glad you actually have some points, I've had some people complain about master modes in the past on the channel but they couldn't tell me what they thought was actually wrong. I still think there's gonna be a place in the middle, where everyone makes some sacrifices. The way MM is now seems to not be working for a substantial amount of people. I guess, my hope is just that the tweaks to MM can get it there in the end, but I don't know. I do know that the previous version also had it's flaws, for me personally the high speed altercations was too much, but I know some liked that aspect of the game with jousting gameplay being a huge part of the skillset they developed and came to love.

Hell yah man, I think star citizen is in a good spot right now, just needs some refinement, I haven’t been able to play since the weekend I hope it’s still holding up as nice as it did then

If this is true...🎉

Very curious to know what you think, why don’t you like master modes? Is it combat related, just general flight or something specific?

The major differences are much smoother and more intuitive control. Momentum is also conserved after leaving the inputs. It's very similar to DCS, which is another flight simulator game that I'm familiar with. I think CIG is moving in that direction (FlightSim) anyways, especially after seeing the CitizenCon demo. The realistic control surface movements and also the stalling behaviour, those are all found in the more realistic sims. I'm excited personally about these changes, but I know it's not for everyone, so people need to speak up on spectrum if they don't like the direction the game is heading, but we'll see...

@@faintanomaly yeah i have seen a lot of heat about the new Master mode for example. To be honest i dont have a particular opinion on the flight mode, as i mostly play with keyboard and mouse, anything fits for me for better or worse. im more itnerested in the overall game and setting rather then flight itself

Same here actually, I used to play with a dual stick setup, with the pedals and head tracking, the whole works, but these days I actually prefer mouse and keyboard to the cumbersome setup of HOTAS. Once you get used to mouse and keyboard it's actually really fun, and I prefer it. Master Modes has been quite fun for me, but I don't do much PVP, I mainly fight NPC's. I can imagine a massive adjustment to the PVP players and also those players who bought a particular ship for it's performance in previous patches.

Hey man, I'm sure you can, I fly with mouse and keyboard these days, just had to get used to it. 😂 How's the new patch been for you? running alright on your side?

@@faintanomaly uhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I lost all my stuff due to a bug that broke the looting system so I couldn't get my stuff back when I died.... Otherwise I'm loving everything else!

Dam dude that's a shit one, I hope it wasn't any rare loot. So far i've been surprised by how stable everything is, I've had one issue with elevators not opening at the stations but it fixed itself after a couple minutes, so it was probably just a slow server load.

@@faintanomaly The rarest thing I lost was an lmg lol I didn't have much.

Ahhh okay could've been worse, still sucks, I hate it when that kind of thing happens. I have to wonder if in the future the human race ever gets to where the fictional people are in star citizen, if we'll be able to handle such power, I think most people will get in their ship and crash on takeoff and checkout lol. With Great Power comes Even Greater Accidents and Death 😂

I’ll find out for you tonight when I get home, I didn’t see anything online about it, I also didn’t see anything in the menu, but I’ll have a look. I do think if there isn’t a toggle to switch it back to the old way, then CIG might sdd it later, especially if enough poeple complain 👍

Yes it’s in flight movement called gravity compensation. You can set it as a keybind to toggle. Same place you find the keybind for landing gear speed restrictions

@@Ed_Patrick Sweet! thanks for the Info.👍

I set my Gravity compensator and my Precision mode to my key bind for Decoupled. Precision mode is the 30m/s limit with landing gear out. ALso new change in Decoupled with these setting turned off Makes your ship no long have vector hold mode with the gear out. Same as old Decoupled but no Vector hold with landing gear out... FYI

Thanks for pointing that out! @FathersGame2-zi5wv Very helpful comment for the others that might want to know.
