Also first, also what a week... let me know what you guys think about the new ships, finally seeing some video content and more.
Don't ask questions when you walk into someone's ship room and they are naked holding the valakar plushie
Take pictures instead!!😂
This should be pinned.
A pretty nice summary of gameplay content after 12 years of development - you can f a plushie and make a nice screenshot of the process.
"starts staring and slowly backs out of that room"
2 things i dont understand about CIG. They clearly have the tech working for cargo elevators like the one on the Starlancer, and yet we havnt heard a single word on the Cat or Carrack getting them, even at least a band-aid so they can be used properly. Then we have a Starlancer also having its Armory, which was one of the things they was waiting on for the Zeus MR, the Zeus that sold the most and was the most popular pick, no word on it either? Even If they make the door not open and says "coming soon" on the door. Just let people have their things lol. So many dead ships just waiting on things thats currently working in the game, but nooo lets concept more ships guys
They’ve already clearly stated that these things for ships won’t come til far later. I agree that they should finish the ships they have instead of new concepts, but they have clearly stated that is not their intention and filling out the fleets is higher priority, even if half the ships are half-done.
They've already sold the ships, and we already bought them! So they're not a priority...
"We'll get to it later"
They fixed it for Connie Phoenix in fairness. It had cargo glued to the ceiling and it works now.
Umm the BMM!!!
@@Blackwell7 well, as a bmm owner I understand their reasoning on this ship lol. I’m more talking about ships missing mechanics when those mechanics are working on other ships
Video starts at 2:07
Thanks!
It's an ad read, not a one piece recap segment.
Fell asleep at 2:00 cuz of my new manta pillow......
Idris point defense work very well in arena commander
Foxyloxy has a pretty good video showcasing the point PD target saturation is overwhelmed. Makes me hope I can fire multiple s1's to garuntee my s5 mixed into the Salvo gets through.
Oh man, those stickers are GREAT for dimming the ultra-bright LEDs you get on modular synths.
Wow, the suit locker and bacpack gear ship seat thing is awesome, glad to see they remember its still a game 😊
Dudeeee. Imagine having like a part of your cargo or something that stores ice to provide fresh water and etc. Like imagine a system where ice is rare and worth a lot like in the expanse.
When I saw ice I immediately thought of the expanse
@@SaltEMike Use it to "refuel" atmospherics.
@@krispcode creating hydrogen 😏
@@Unknown_Calrissian bingo C:
I guess we’re gonna need to wait another 20 years for this thing to develop into a full release
Great breakdown. I agree with you on the item claim system. I do think they need to do something to bring back the ability for us to ensure our weapons on ships and just charge a premium for the convenience.
I finally made a successful jump from Stanton to Pyro in the current 4.0 EPTU test.
Its fun!
I'm trying to convince coworkers to join but I'm afraid that this IAE will be the worst on stability. With the amount of players plus being open to the public maybe they should consider hosting at multiple locations to ease the strain that is caused by everyone being at one location.
it definitely will
Of course it will…. It’s already terrible on the PTU and that doesn’t even include the free fly lmao. It’s going to be abysmal as usual
RSI day will be right proper fucked lol
I'm not ready to bring people into SC. It will be a bad experience.
Wait for next iae
Question: Are they addressing the game being almost unplayable?.... Every time I've tried to play the last few months, I felt like I was wasting my time and it wasn't fun at all. Mostly just bugs after bugs, and bad FPS on very strong computers.
That's the point sadly, why polish and fix when you're going to periodically add new features that will bring the exact same problems you just polished and fixed. Until core features and tech are in this will be the case.
They still don't have the dynamic server meshing on, when they do they would go full speed in fixing bugs
@@Eli9Adon’t be so sure
@@duckdictator6531 If they did it would be in live. If they have it to close launch it will be in ptu and if they working bug blockers it would be evocati
@@YodatheDeepThroata, they aren't gonna be able to use that as an excuse once 4.0 drops. Server meshing is the last core tech implementation.
Suit with hydration has my vote , i am sick of having to pause what i am doing because i didn't had my hourly drink.
Just remove the stupid mechanics, i have to eat drink shower and shit IRL, why do in game as well?
I'm with you on that. Maybe they should have the food and drinks give your character timed buffs instead of being an absolute necessity
Give all umdersuits a reservoir and let us just refill at a station on our ships like the o2 refilling station in Klescher.
😮
Dang, I was actually so happy when one of the devs said that the Subscriber items would just be given to the player as a blueprint....that totally solves the issue. But then Jared had to jump in and say that doesn't replace the item kiosks and now I'm like....bro....you guys were so close to making it make sense. I really hope they abandon the whole item kiosk thing for sub/store items and turn them all into blueprints for 1.0. Anything else is doing exactly what he's saying they don't want to do.
Was so close to a good answer, but then they had to CIG all over it.
maybe the koisk can give out the blueprints of the items
The things with the clouds is actually quite crazy. I mean they have their tools implemented for quite some time, but to automate everything is something different.
Ooh ice as a commodity is giving me huge "the expanse" vibes, remember the Cant!
Sneak peak: Crusader Intrepid stairs were in the Citizencon video
Thank you Mike. Hope they can deliver on some of this stuff relatively soon.
Thanks again for week in review! It's the snippet I need to understand the crazy that is SC
So. Funny story. You can squeeze 384 scu into the back of a Starlancer.
Source: I did it.
Like just in the vehicle bay or including the „regular“ cargo bay? That’s really good! Was it hard to fit everything in?
@@AW-po7jr that was across both bays. total of eight 32's and thirty-two 4's
@ nice! the 32‘s go into the regular cargo bay? And do you think larger crates would fit into the vehicle bay?
@@AW-po7jr four 32's in the belly, just like normal, then you've gotta feed the 4's through the door between the belly and the rear to sit on top. then you can load the rear with four 32's, with 4's on top just like the front. Keeps a good walkway through the middle, and utilizes just about every logical inch of the hold. There will be some clipping in the belly though, so you could load up fourteen 4's up there instead of sixteen, leaving a 1scu wide gap on each end for things to sit just a little nicer
Ok NGL the blackout stickers look pretty useful
wish they would make the scanning on mining less tedious and be able to scan it from a far and maybe not know the exact amount but knowing what deposits types and or name that are there then finding out how much once there near it
also while they are in the armor phase, have high heel boots be nice :3
14.10 Moab crafting expensive / misc endeavour level crafting.
Suggests the days of no more military grade munitions and components available to buy in-game without pledged schematic or in game reputation.
Main balance of SC is there to see for those of us who are not nose to ground in alpha hoping to grind to deathstar. Pledge wisely. Good luck 👍
Ty for informative vid.
basically every decision CIG makes comes from people that hate MMOs while also trying to make an MMO
quality content as always, honest and feels like its coming from someone who logs in more than to grab b-roll and just cry
I’ll be honest, I had a lot of personal issues this week, and most of my time in game was for this video, at least to check out changes for it. But I wanted to be in game to mine a lot, but I was forced to be off the PC for most of the week.
I hope CiG adds more perishable cargo types, the idea of having to monitor the temp of your cargo bay so your ice doesn't melt sounds like a fun amount of busywork
I've been hoping for this for a while. Gives midsized haulers a reason for having two crew.
As somewhat of an outsider looking in on SC from time to time, its insanse how many ships are in the game without seemingly that many gameplay systems to use them in.
I've been saying in spectrum suggestions that they need dedicated mining suits/salvaging where the tool and storage is built into it. Like imagine the high power gas leaf blower, pretty much that but space tecked out
Thanks Mike! I always look forward to your vids.
"All ships that have inventory, though, do currently."
So the Zeus and the C1 have them, but the Taurus wont? Kind of strange. We also still have useless lockers in the midships. That said - I assumed I would have to wait for gold standard for that, but I don't understand the finality of that dev. statement in that case.
Where is the blurb about Precision Targeting at 25:20 from? The little mention of larger ships actually being a threat to smaller ones is HUGE and deserves some more exploration.
Dev posts comm something linked in the description
@SaltEMike thanks
I really like your idea of buying the paint for gear instead of the item itself.
the 12 months or so statement was "most" and "or so", wasnt it?so basically, they nailed it, right?
Solid video
Dont know if you mentioned it (I didnt hear it) but the elevators at MT spaceport dont work and everyone is trapped on the planet.
Ahhh I never went there.
If Charged hand-held weapons can be held indefinitely, then so too should the Ares Ion.
The Ares Ion can now held the shot for 3 seconds on full charge. Then it is charged again. Chargetime is 2 seconds.
@@drakonhawk 3 seconds isn't indefinitely, which was my point. Game mechanics such as "charged shot", should be standard across all weapon platforms, be they on ships, vehicles or man carried.
Thanks again mike! You rock!
They talk about parachute yet we don't have ejection pods working for multicrew ships lol
I gotta say, the jump point experience is…… chefs kiss
Ice=water=H2 and O2= fuel and life support. Just a thought.
I'd be perfectly happy to have my ship pledges turned into a blue print or something too. Anything to defeat the pay to win aspects of the game at v1.0
Nice video Mike! Have a great week boss
I've said this before on Spectrum, but ship/armour/weapon paints atm make no sense to me. Its the far future, why are my ship paints literal giant barrels of paint? Why are are armour paints specific models of that armour?
Paints should be data files you upload onto your equipment; you can't lose them because they're stored on whatever magical external storage players in SC have. If someone steals your armour or gun, they keep the unique paint on the stolen item until they change it (at which point, its gone forever) but they don't gain access to the paint in any other way. Meanwhile the original owner can buy/craft/steal a new armor/weapon of the same type and reapply their fancy paint.
What is a point defense turret?
Automatic short range machine gun.
raw ice seems like a obvious thing :3 water and what can you do with water .extract the oxygen for ships :3
Mike, you‘re getting really good at the sponsoring stuff - I think you‘re very authentic. If I hadn‘t already had one, I‘d have considered one now.
Hey Question.... Why is the Starlancer MAX and TAC offered at a higher price ($25-$35 more) with 10 years insurance when the cheaper versions have lifetime?
Question two... Is there a way to get items from the digital goodies pack from previous years?
warbond = new money = discount.
store credit = recycled money = no discount.
No, there is no way to get the goodies pack from previous years. Unless you can buy them on the Grey market. The other person answered your first question perfectly.
You only get lifetime if you spend the full price with brand new money
I wonder, when it comes to crafting lost subscriber gear, if CIG is going to throw a wrench in the works, like in many MMO's, by requiring a lynch-pin crafting ingredient that is extremely rare, or horribly expensive to acquire? It would be an ingredient unique to each piece of subscriber gear.
What's the point of paying real money for gear if you have to re-craft it? Insurance was a better plan. Add the in-game cost to the Reclaimed item and be done with it
Omg, the returning of store items is being overly complicated. and it bugs me.
If an item is stolen the player has a CS3, regardless of if they wear it or not.
WHEN THAT PLAYER GOES TO JAIL ALL STOLEN ITEMS ARE RETURNED.
If they are hiding in Pyro, the player who is missing the item(s) submits a bounty based on price to the player who has stolen the item after some timeframe and a bonus from insurance to encourage Bounty Hunters to hunt the target. Maybe they sell the items, then the player is notified and they can go buy it back at an increased price.
You reward good criminals, but we include a return loop to the appropriate partys. And it feels realistic, that's what happens when criminals are caught, items are returned or the value of the item is returned.
I agree, we shouldn't have a duplicating system but a return loop really shouldn't be that complicated.
i really wish some day there will be a star citizen mod or competitor with a lore more akin to alien prometheus / raised by wolves / the expanse compared to the star trek ish lore we have now
SaltEmike hope you read this, i can aid with only a question. on the galaxy how come its not like more of an small ORCA ( since you play EvE ) its needs to be longer and a bit wider to fit two prospectors in the back, and the mole could just doc to the belly of the ship. its the supply chain is my take on this. and that means the expanse will all so have to be bigger. this would give in my thoughts 3 large refiners to the galaxy and six medium sized to to the expanse, the star farer to use its straw pipe to collect the quantianum to refine since they really don't understand refining in my mind. it looked like the expanse wans't going to be able to refine fuel ether. but that was my idea and far as this video good coverage as always i don't type much do to im old and have other issues and responsibility's. but that would fix the main part i would think this should fix the middle mining segment and have the galaxy also have refulling for the doced ships including the mole. but that just my thought. yes you might have talked about this a wile ago but since media moves faster than i do im just trying to catch up.
That needing to remove backpacks thing is so unnecessary, just let us keep it on, who cares, its less time wasted for such a trivial addition.
And we ALL know its going to be so damn buggy that backpacks wont pop back on you or outright disappear.
Ice, it's getting really cool.... NO, you did not say that.
I really don't agree with skins for ships. They can't make them skins now. I've only bought ships and specifically guns hard to find that I like. Giving us a blueprint is a great change tbh; maybe put a limit on how many you can craft.. like one a day. Item duping does ruin a game.
So you paid to not play the game, that’s the argument I’m making. It’s not ok.
@@SaltEMike the game has in such a poor state for such a long time that people are more comfortable buying things on the store rather than play the game because currently its much more of a pain and less rewarding to get certain items in game. Which is a mentality that needs to change for the health of the game. The store could kill the game before 1.0
The only downside to auto equip gear is I will never pull a Roy Benavidez since doing it on purpose doesn't count.
I didn't leave Star Citizen. Star Citizen left me.
Core gameplay likely missing because they are still passed out from shock at all the work they didn't know CR was gonna toss on their desk at CitCon.
As soon as he said "in concept phase" when talking about the mining suit it was obvious he's bullshitting. It's not a thing.
There's some notes on a napkin in a trash bin they're gonna dig up after ISC
Come on with the meshing CIG FFS. This game has nothing else going for it. Shit Gameplay. Broken AF. Fake trailers. Feels like a mobile game trying to sell you gains with real money but they dont actually gain you anything aside from a cool jpeg and a nerfed ship in instance it does come out a month later. A skin has more valuable at this point. I'd rather play RAID Shadow Legends.
I dunno. they got some work they need to crush.
Vanguard stairs look like that, I think.
I really really really want to know what is behind all this poor servers! What are they using hardware wise leasing or otherwise and what is the cause of the degradation?
We don’t need core gameplay bro. We got 6 ships starting development 😊👍 right before a few ships are released for IAE
Ship artists don't do anything else but make ships...the things they do don't hold back development or make it slower
Why is server stability so bad on LIVE if they havent updated anything major?
They said that 3.24.3 Live is 4.0 code base. So new foundations That’s probably the reason.
@AW-po7jr ah ok
As a new player as of yesterday, it feel like this project is a chaotic shit show.
First time playing in a while are the mfds always on now? Or is it a bug
Ok, I can't quite read the "NOTICE" behind you? ;-)
When crafting is introduced 😂 They can just say they don’t want to give us our shit back. Over complicated kiosk as well.. Checking the world for the items existence in someone’s inventory?? Just make subscriber gear not disappear on death….
Come on now Mike, ice mining. Think of it... we could get new ice mining vehicles/ships as well...
I would love that tbh.
Half the game design is focused on trying to fix how buying everything for real money has hurt the game. At this point just offer a sub only server without real money purchases and everyone who doesn't think there's a win in SC and who isn't concerned about what others do in the verse can play in a p2w buy to play server instead without a sub.
"they did an amazing job on the interior" Ohhhhh Mike.... No. I get this isnt a Polaris review video, but there are several places in the Polaris that need some work.
Meh I think it works for the most part, what ship doesn’t need work?
@SaltEMike true lol, I wish this wasn't the case.
Looks like Anvil stairs to me.
Don't ask questions. Just consume product...
17:54 Really? year 12? No idea how to deal with it or a concept????? Oh CIG....
game's still horrible, you're still great. some things (may) never change!
lol if they are auto putting your backpack on and off (in select seats) why take it off at all, what a waist of time and potential bugs
I stopped recommending the game due to poor stability.
When was it ever stable though 😂
Haha I still recommend it but always have the disclaimer (it is awesome but buggy as shit).
As long as they know what they are getting into from the start, it makes it more mentally bearable 😅
@@Kamakazi_MMXM 3.17 was the golden age for stability compared to now.
Same, we are nowhere near playable
Alpha*
The Freelancer HUD looks pretty nice?! You doing bath salts, now? Show me the altimeter, and I'll cut you some slack.
NONE of the HUD's look good.
In comparison to the starfarer I guess that didn’t come through. The MISC hud is by far the worst
Parachutes eh. HALO insertion, maybe?
Mercury Star Runner has an internal inventory I call BS.
Want to fix item duping? Kill the full loot PvP crap. It’s waaaay too easy to die in the game and will always be that way.
This is supposed to be a game, at some point it needs to be a game. For years they sold guns and armor on the store and even gave it as a reward for like $5,000. Making it unable to get it back because someone looted it and holds it in storage is a rapid way to have lawsuits.
Just and full loot PvP. You loot someone you just get some scrap resources you can sell later. Killing full loot just to make sure the game plays without trying to battle players finding ways to break the game rules is a small price to pay for continued free money from pledges and not needing to sell equity and give up complete power.
I have a few legendary items in WoW, I die to a player and they can’t loot me…and Blizzard doesn’t need to worry about duping.
As for ship theft? Just lock it to the players. It self destructs and can’t ever be fully stolen. You put in the claim, you paid for it…especially cash money. Again this is the price to pay for not needing to beg investors and retain control.
I swear, at this point I say in 3-5 years we see CIG close down and go up for sale. If duping and exploiting duping is that big a fear to create rules for….kill it off as a possibility. Maybe Player ships just unable to be stolen or even salvaged. If PvP is the goal then that’s the reward, PvP with another player.
26 Minutes 🤩
Salvage should be scrap metal, and then when you take Scrap to a refinery, it randomizes what you recieve in valuable minerals, so fir example, you could get a large amount of corundum, or maybe youd get lucky and get a large amount of Quantanium. This would purpose scrap metal, cause during bounties, scrap inside cargo is ALWAYS put in the garbage. Giving scrap a randomized purpose would increase its value to a randomized amount.
I understand why they dont want armor stat bonuses, its just a boring and an objectively worse choice
Probably because the core gameplay team is working on 4.0….. which has SM………: which is pretty core tech….. 😮😮 wow using your head is hard. Best to cry on TH-cam though that should fix things.
❤❤❤
Why are they adding so many complicated features unstead of fixing the broken ones already in game? Frustrating
Why put 6 mechanics or gameplay loops into production? They don't sell. Putting 6 ships into production is better, they sell.
Ngl I believe if they were to sell gameloops more than enough people would actually buy them...
@@justalex4214 they can still make millions selling a jpeg, so why should they bother?
@@SolarWindsRider no one said those game loops are finished. If they can sell a jpg of a ship, they can sell a jpg of a gameloop.
So you can grief players base by just flattening them for fun with bombs after bombs lol
This channel makes it hard to take breaks from following Star Citizen development saga. If you come back from hiatus and watch a bunch of saltemike videos in a blitz then it becomes apparent that there's no evidence Mike even likes this game. I don't think he even likes his community because it's mostly "shut up, I know" or some other form of admonishment. I get that he's just like inherently a negative person and being salty is his schtick but JFC bro what do you have to be so miserable about you make videos about games and you already own a home like dude just smile and be positive for 5 minutes
Read your post. You just sound like you are jealous and only point out the negative instead of when I say anything good. Take your own advice.
@@SaltEMikethe weird thing is the first sentence is complimentary, then it dives into a different realm. I wouldn't bother answering comments like this if I were you, best to stay above this sort of muck.
I don't get why they just don't make the unique armors you got from the store a paint/skin for an ingame equivalent. Make it cost some uec to apply to armors and done with it
20:40 stairs remind me of RSI Zeus stairs, could be wrong
Does MISC have stairs like that?
@ no idea don’t own a MISC lol
Intrepid
It's the intrepid. It's been confirmed with multiple images from citcon.
I just want it to be known, a player/ youtuber in the community called "Cobra TV (COBRA T.V.)"... He makes star citizen TH-cam videos, he loves the game and loves making the content. Hes been on my radar for awhile. Basically hes found that is wife has cancer and he's basically had to stop making videos and has gone back to work in order to pay for treatment. I got a notification on his discord with him telling the story. He hasn't made a video in awhile and so we know this is why. I sent a pm offering my support and i suggested him to make a go fundme as i believe his community will help, as I will... And its possible the wider community would help in mentioning the go fund me if created. - I wanted to leave this here in case Cobra did release a video asking for help with a go fundme. I believe he's the type of guy who would take it all on he's own shoulders. So I wanna do what I can, but I'm only gonna comment here to Salt because a gofund me hasn't even been set up. I just want it to be something that's known.
Thats.....an....."interesting way of doing things"........CiG in a nutshell, and not in a good way
GIGACHAIR
Info is good. But your add commercial sound fake. Like you reading a script and you don’t mean what you say only what you been told to say.
The whole video is a script, and I use their masks every night…
Havent played in so much time that i probably will have another wow movement once i get back into the game xdddd
