Space Thread: Space Thread edition

Let's talk space and space stuff, and what you like about space. What space game you're playing, what are you looking forward too, and if there will ever be a Freelancer 2 without next gen gimmicks that everyone puts in their games.

And will Fdev ever pull their heads out of their asses. daily reminder that we have a minor faction in ED in the the system Wheemez, get your asses over there and take over the system for justice and imprison those who insult the Empire.

beheading works too.

The mandate?

ES2 got an update or some shit

We really need to pick a space engineers server to go into.

Soon

Soon™
Angels Fall First has supplanted Mandate, by virtue of actually existing in an interactive state

What would the Eland 90 in space be like?

Eve Online. I'm still digging Armarr's slaving space crusader style. Working towards getting the rep required for the Amarr Epic Arc with the Ministry of Internal Order. Won't be able to do that arc for a hell of a long time, but it'll be good to run missions and grind the rep now rather than later. In between missions it's nice seeing the players shit on the Goonswarm as the garbage it is and shitting on Reddit's alliance in local chat at trade hubs while I piss off the would-be scammers with bantz.

I don't think there's any space game I'm looking forward too. None that I'm aware of, anyway. I guess I'm looking forward to Star Citizen's collapse.

No. We are in gaming's darkest timeline.


Useless. There's no roads in space, dummy.

we used to have a mumble one during a free weekend month

unreliable as fuck was the problem

So, yeah. Astroneer is pretty good. Vehicle physics FUCKING SUCK and over time there seems to be some kind of memory leak a-la Space Engineers, but it's a fun little game that feels like a combination of Grow Home and what NMS was trying to be.

In Freelancer and X Rebirth there are for some reason

Star Citizen

While it's great you guys got your minor faction in game and all playing with the background sim is the most boring bullshit as nothing has any impact outside of a faction name showing up someplace. Call me when they give factions an actual guild like system like any other fucking game with social options. Upside, I can say I'm from any group I want and no one can disprove me. So that's funny shit.

I can't believe Enemy Starfighter was such a disappointment, it showed so much promise.

Cheap plug for space board

>>>/launchcomplexb/

Where is my painstaking micromanagement NASA simulator? Like a head of Space Task Group simulator? I want it like Football Manager sims but all levels. So you have to manage the STG, contractors, Mission Control, remote sites, the astronauts, the PR, the wives, the backroom techs, the MCOR + trech, the IMB guys, the developement going on at MIT and your network to them, Mission Planning, Pad crew and range leader, Lunar geology, etc., etc..
You start during Mercury with Mercury Control, then Gemini, and the move to Houston for Apollo. So things get more and more complicated.

And you can dive in at all levels. From the top, like as a director your managing the whole of the project. Looking at it as an Engineering Systems and budgeting and contracting sim. Then you can jump in and be like Chris Kraft building the MCOR/Mission Control team, or say Gene Kranz or Jerry Griffin and then you're in MCOR as Flight actually managing a mission.

Then you jump to Head Astronaut and you're Deke. Okay flight assignments, well each guy has his own strengths and weakness and incompatibilities. Like you can't put Wally Schirra and Gus Grissom together on a flight, you also can't put Wally on a long duration flight. Oh and what's that? Al Sheppard's fucking Cape Cookies again and doesn't care who finds out? Gotta get the PR people in to handle that.
Training the astronauts like in a football or even horse racing sim would be rad as well.

Maybe you get a disaster like Apollo 1,jump back to the director and somehow you have to keep the whole project together and on schedual. You've got an investigation to do, you have safety inspectors driving themselves and their family in front of a train. You got morale issue with the surviving astronauts, you have contractors fighting and slinging blame.

In fact hell if I can't have my space autism magnum opus I'd even take one that focuses on training and flying one Apollo mission. Maybe a J mission like 17 so you get the flight, landing and rover. So you gotta manage the personal lives, professional lives and training of your crew. Plus the PR schedual to keep the bosses happy, any squabbles or personal conflicts, any surprise events(like, oh say, helicopter crashes into a river, *cough*geno*cough*). Then you have to actually fly the mission. You have pad and then ground support, but you got to watch the readouts, enter the DSKY nouns and verbs, flip the switches. So more detailed flying than Kerbal. Get to the Lunar surface and have to set up the ALSEP and safely get your geology work done. I'm getting too long here, but think you get the picture.

I actually had a lot of fun playing that, but it is a damn shame that the multiplayer is almost completely dead. At least the devs are still working on it

Why am I not surprised?

Aurora might fill your autistic needs, it is a 4x game made for autist but not a NASA type game like you described. And a fellow autist made some tutorials.


Yeah the game really needs more Social options like any other MMO, fuck even winging up can have problems thanks to p2p connections. When we got the minor faction I thought it would be like a guild sort of thing but nope, just a name on the system and we can't actually join the faction just use the BGS to influence it. I wanted to have wings with you niggers and take over the system but you can do that by yourself without anyone.

...

...

Everyone has their own thing, but I never got the appeal of this shit.

I want space. I don't want a desktop window full of charts and shit telling me that there's space.

Isn’t that the one with nothing but niggers? Why would you want it?

Its perfect for autist.

...

Fucking go back to your own universe!

So is there any space game that allows me to be Slaver that gets to kidnap and train loli's?

This tickles me just right. Thanks Anons

make sure to post gameplay updates and shit. I want to see how you do.

I would really like a successor to the X-games, Rebirth looks and plays like shit and I refuse to play the garbage that is ED or the jew-wormhole that is SC.

I want to fly one of the Space Zeppelins from Iron Sky.

...

I that the movie with the space nazis and really cool spaceships from earth different countries that got wasted in retarded story and characters?

Yeah, those space zeppelins were awesome, but the other ones weren't so good.

Story was abysmal and the characters were inane.

...

Any recommendations for someone who's just starting to get into space games?

homeworld and freelancer were fun. I'm downloading EVE but I've heard mixxed things about it.

I pirated Stellaris after heard a few good word about it in here… Not so bad, to be honest it can show a few new thing but…

Where is the other half of the game???

For fuck shake! Why i need to wait years for a fucking complete game in this fucked era? When will these sweden cucks release the rest of this shit? I just wanted just a little fun!

...

Oh man I remember getting that mail

The beginning of First Contact is my favorite bit of Star Trek

don't even bother with EVE unles you either have money ready to spend or are ready to grind forever

...

Join a noob corp/alliance and they'll throw free shit at you. EVE University supplies free skillbooks. Corps like Red vs. Blue have help supply ships to their members.

...

As someone who is actually autistic, it bothers me that people think autism is being really fucking obsessed with math and spreadsheets and shit like that. Most of "meme autism" is more like OCD.

Ha ha.

Who ever scripted the last space battle in the movie needs to be fucking shot

Well that didn't happen and we all know it didn't.

So how good is Aurora 4x's AI?

What PS2 game is that vid from, OP? That's decent graphics for that time.

It's almost like sometime people use terms and words in a humourous or facetious manner…

That's not the case here, and you know it.

But do you.

I cry sometimes in my sleep thinking about how they would rather cause total nuclear annihilation of their planet than be my subjects.


They'll fuck you up in numbers, so get them while they are new and few.

Unfortunate Spacemen is such a cool idea. It's effectively the successor to the old Morbus and Parasite gamemodes from Gmod, but in short, it's dead.

I might start a Holla Forums plays aurora and see if anyone is interested tomorrow.

Just conquered a planet. I lost 30,000 men (2 divisons) from them nuking their own planet. I had to bring in another division just to keep the siege going. Hopefully their fleet will surrender because the system is full of them and I don't want the hassle of chasing after them.

Timelasp of the ISS.


I would be so into this.

Are you saying that they team up quickly and overwhelm you, but they are bad in 1v1s?

Oh, NASA needs to work on its CGI a bit more.

I'm saying is an alien race will begin to build more and more ships. I haven't seen diplomacy between aliens yet, but I exterminate the race at first sight so

are you ready for the best space vidya?

I'm straight up skipping battlecruisers it seems.

Imagine that.

Are you gay? The Space battle was the best fucking part! The fucking Hammerhead ramming the Star Destroyer into another Star Destroyer!

There's a difference between fitting a ship and properly fitting a ship.

Also I miss the old Geddons…back when they could be used for ratting.

how soon

You can't be serious.

GARBAGE

...

I know its not space at all but if you ever feel like watching some interactive sci fi try pirating the latest CoD , played at a my friend's place and it was a typical press x to pay respects CoD but has lots of space porn. Even watching the campaign in youtube should be enough i guess. It has battlecruisers doing hyperspace jumps and shit.

So, Master of orion 4 is on sale now.
Is it worth it?

So space engineers is in beta now, new netcode too.

WE WUZ AYYRYANS AND SHIET

I'll pass on that, thanks.

Did I say there wasn't?

Is there any game that actually succeeds in offering what the x series is meant to do or should I just go back to playing heavily modded X3?

i just want a space engineers but good

Im waiting a rules of nature of that part.

i have autism and you're autistic

Space Engine looks fucking beautiful

...

...

...

...

...

Isn't Space Engineer going to be redoing terrain generation for the next version of the engine?

I'm doing an Aurora playthrough if you want to see how the game is.

I fail at life.

...

...

I pirated the game a few days ago, but didn't play myself, it was for a niece. I watched she play through the campaign and it had some decent action indeed, but doesn't stop being the typical CoD game. However if i had to choose I'd rather watch a no comments playthrough in youtube. or watch her play again

The torrent was 33.5 gb and had lots of seeds.

Well, he said he was autistic so naturally he wouldn't pick up on irony or sarcasm. :^)

One crazy Russian makes a more scientifically accurate and better looking space engine than any modern dev. This should tell you something about the state of the genre right now, really.

Blue space is best space

plz respond…

So spece Holla Forums what's a good space game that's not so set out on realism so much as fun gravity physics and neat art? Outer Wilds is sorta scratching an itch yet it's not out yet and still is kinda shit in some areas.

Ass Erect.
Seriously though? Doesn't exist. Maybe Independence War 2?

Can I run that on a toaster? If not what about 1?

Is there a trick to finding good data sites (The ones that run on a timer) in EvE or is it really just random chance?

Anyone up for a Battle/v/ront 2 weekend? I just replayed the campaign and I'm dying for some mp. We gotta pick a way to set up a server since the official ones are gone.

...

Preach brother. These folks need to wake up to the truth.

Current build of Speesh Engine?
I literally can't even.

...

It's kind of amazing that there are retards out there that are deluded enough to think that the Earth is anything but a sphere.

found the real retard

You got me on that one. I meant to type spherical.

Are those big engines of a star destroyer there just for show? Because i see no reason for having them if a tiny little ship like this can just that easily move it around.

I don't think space works like that. And I'm near certain that a star destroyer would atomize a ship that size for trying such a thing.

Its engines were down.

this , when the ship is an "engines down" state, it loses 95% of it's mass value so a small ship like that could easily move it.

Several issues with that. For one thing, inertia, the other being that the smaller ship is somehow immune to the issue the force it is exerting would cause to it.

This cartoon looks funny.

What?
You mean to tell me that a ship that normally takes three engines that are bigger than the engine block of that hammerhead to move around, can be moved that fast by a tiny little hammerhead when SD's engines are down?
Also, what do you mean when you say that its engines are down, do you mean that its main drives are offline or that its engines and maneuvering thrusters are offline?

What the fuck, that's not how mass works.

wow
That's levels of retardation beyond what I expected

That wouldn't work because the spaceships would just hit the firmament when they tried to leave earth

Why can't the Empire ever get some of this BS that always allow the rebels to win. When will the Imperials get any love and victories from those terrorists?

Let me post

the empire literally build a planet destroying ship orb thing you dunce

Ignoring the bullshit from TFA, the Death Stars would be titanic undertakings and require a lot of resources. It is less BS and more a statement of wealth and power that they could build it at all.

A tiny ship doing that is straight bullshit to the point that it isn't just ignoring physics, but ignoring the internal consistency of the scene by itself.

And the rebels blew it up twice and almost every single official media and comic the rebels win or they lose a single battle and then win everything else. Even during the clone wars they showed not everything was as black and white and the Republic was not all good and the Separatists were not all evil.


I want more humanization of the storm troopers and empire and something that won't end with "The rebels win because we are the good guys"

There's nothing wrong with destroying planets that are in open rebellion

This.
The rebels didn't give a fuck about all the people that lost their lives when the death star blew up nor do they care when they kill stormtroopers.

...

We are talking about star wars mate, every other planet is livable even if it's barren.

Earth is geoid. In coarse approximation it's spherical, but it has ridges and bumps all over and it's surface is in general highly uneven, and in addition to that it's squished across its rotation axis. A black hole, on the other hand, is perfectly spherical, more precisely, black hole's shadow is.

Then why would it even have those engines if enabling them make it 20 times harder to move. Just use those rinky dink tug boats instead. Jesus Christ those writers are functionally retarded.

That looks like a no-brainer.

thanks for letting me know that this movie is fucking retarded

They could have at least just wiped out all life on it, so that they could use the planet later, instead of just turning it into rubble.

Wouldn't it make more sense to build an atmosphere destroyer or something more subtle but equally effective as just blowing up the entire planet?

I know this is a rhetorical question and that Lucas was a hack

Eliminate all life without turning the planet into rubble, how?

The Eclipse.

The Emperor didn't want subtle he wanted dread and fear, when you saw the death star entering the system and heading for your home world you knew it was over.

I'd rather be blown up than have my planet's atmosphere removed. It would be like a medieval siege, but instead of a castle you have a planet and instead of waiting for the enemy to run out of food and water they start running out of oxygen.

But be in a ship or have a space suit and you would be okay, personally though I just think the Emperor just liked explosions.

Since the rebels weren't fanatics, those without would start rioting to get those items and promote mutiny in rebel ranks. By the time everyone who doesn't have a ship or source of oxygen is dead, it would be easy for the imperial death squads to take them out.


The answer for any reason why anything in Star Wars is dumb is that Lucas is a hack.

They would use innocent civilians as shields and then complain that the imperials killed some non-combatants. Not to mention that would cause an even bigger PR stint that the death star that people slowly suffocated all recorded and survivors from the planet that would tell the tale.

dumping required webm

Wow, just end it already,

The Empire doesn't care about PR if their preferred method of rebel removal is blowing up the planet they're infesting. The entire point of the Death Star being dumb is that it removes the economic value of a planet when you could use other methods to remove the rebels while keeping the planet intact for recolonization.

The destroyer was hit with emp torpedos

The whole space battle was retarded as fuck

to be fair anakin was always incompetent

you can ignore the normalfaggotry of it and still get the message about space being huge and unknown

black holes are cool
deal with it

Besides the Death star was only going to be used as a last resort, when it would be too much trouble to keep.

Not during the Clone wars.

What kind of faggot are you?

Well you could make a vacuum sapceship and suck all the atmosphere from a planet you want to fuck up

What


Not an argument to why blowing up a planet to remove them is a good idea.

...

a faggot who's at least two or three notches below you on the 'maximum fag' ladder. maybe next time you want to rename your files something less horribly gay than "please don't with disdain.jpg", faggot :^)

i can see you're not dealing with it

Whatever you say user. Talking about space the way a normalfag or reddit user would just seems really fucking gay and uncalled for to me.

He manage to rape and kill jedi kids without trouble

What's your favorite wrestlers user?, mine is webm related.

The average Joe didn't know the death star even existed and the Empire went on a media blitz that alderaan was destroyed when trying to test a super weapon to fight against the empire.


Oh well then I have nothing then, and admit that it was not a good idea.

Fear is power source of the dark side. By creating fear he was powering up. In theory.

That is true but not the only one, Fear anger, hate the all power the dark side.

man isn't Lucas just a creative genius
i mean nobody should be afraid or angry or hate anything ever amirite

No it didn't, it shot the installation's dish perfectly. In fact it probably shot through Krennic's head perfectly.

There is a difference from having an emotion and letting it consume and define you user.

I dont remember if they said shoot the disk or the tower

It probably never will. It was funded trough fig and the team went dark a couple of months ago.

To be fair, the first star destroyer didn't have any deflector shields at the time. The other star destroyer going down is just space magic. Like everything else in the Star Wars universe.

Well, killing a whole planet so whole galaxy cover in fear is sounds like a good old black magic in SPESS.

They said "quickscope that bitch".

Really it didnt even matter if they missed because the utter destruction it caused would wipe out that installation anyway.

Fucking normalfags ruin everything

i love you all and I hope you get a spaceship with a waifu for Christmas

Short answer: no
Long answer: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yep, X3 is still by far the best spess game

What would Christmas in Space be like?

Cold.

Make a change from the Christmas I have been having lately.

...

But what if I have a shipfu user?

Also merry Christmas eve to you all as well.

Merry christmas to you as well user and a happy new year!

Anyone play Void Destroyer 2? Is it any good?

really? no rules of nature edit?

To be fair, I get the impression that "Princess" doesn't mean the same thing on Alderaan as it does on Earth. Nothing ever suggested (besides Han's mocking banter) that she was actually a member of a traditional monarchy. The prequels established her parents as more like members of a politically powerful elite.

Of course, the real reason she went is because Vader was there. Force-sensitive people attract each other like a magnet in Star Wars, sort of like how Stand users do the same in JoJo. It's a magical "explanation" for what is otherwise simple plot contrivances to bring the important characters together by ludicrous coincidence.

Vader wasnt there, he arrived after the battle was over and everyone was escaping.

Please at least tell me that small ship was a tug and not just a ship with generic engines

It was a hammer head cruiser, like the ones from kotor only updated

That really is some dumb shit. Really dumb. It is literally an ant moving a mountain.

They were using the force, user!

Black holes are neat.

Black holes don't play a role in the formation of galaxies and we would be here regardless of whether black holes were possible or not. Video creator is popsci idiot.

...

Total Milky Way mass = 1.5 trillion M☉
Sagittarius A* mass = ~4 million M☉, 1/375,000th of the galaxy's mass

Black holes are just an irrelevant byproduct of lots of matter being concentrated in galactic cores. They're not responsible for forming galaxies, or holding them together, or anything like that. That's all gravity. Only when black holes approach the mass of an entire galaxy (quasars) do they actually have pronounced effects that are different from what their mass would ordinarily contribute.

not videogames

Thanks for info

what are your thoughts on the moon

Anyone here still playing ED? I'm trying to outfit my beluga to go out exploring, Decided to use it because of the best fuel usage per jump and I could use it for SLF and the SRV. Not doing any passenger missions because fuck them and they're so sensitive and needy.

This build was for when I was grinding out low range passenger missions for Empire rank but now since I'm done I can get rid of weapons and the cabin slots. Decided to go with high shields incase of being a retard of not be able to land high g planet without flying myself into the ground and for self preservation against random pirates. Looking to head out at least 20kly from the bubble and hoping to put my name in some planets out there. Any ideas?

Well it was fun while it lasted

Merry Christmas anons

The same to you user.
Not vidya.

As the most autistic ED player in these thread, here ya go.
If you really want your fighter hanger out on your trip this is what your best bet is if you are actually worried about things out in the deep black. However by about 10,000 out from the bubble you are going to be wishing you had a bigger fuel scoop so consider moving it up to a size six and scrapping the fighter all together. You could use the 4 slot for another AFM unit.

That looks pretty good, I could get more jump range like that. I see why I need to upgrade that fuel scoop, with the belugas heating problems and that fuel tank, I wont be able to go closer to a star without burning up and I'll spend nearly 10 minutes filling up my tank. The fighter hanger I wanted for some canyon flying and maybe POI scouting since the beluga is a damn whale in planets.

The beluga is a very nice ship, just have to watch when I wake out from a planets surface.

Decided to go one of those tourist mission locations but without the pesky tourists to see what was so special about it and to go somewhere close to the bubble to try out exploration. Man those 2g planets are no joke, the landing wasn't graceful. I wanted to fly around the planet in my fighter but like hell do I trust my crew member to control that ship in this planet, I fucking told her to stay put and It kept facing me, I didn't want to see what would happen if I flew lower.

meme bump

...

...

>pilot somehow shoves sharpened cheese wedge downwards into space doughnut

Rebels get "Deus ex machina" to solve problems.So dumb, In "Force Awakens" the Rebels are the provisional government forces of the "new New republic" they call themselves "The Resistance" even though they are the controlling faction.

The original three weren't shakespearean sonnet's but at least from a writing standpoint they were passable, this new stuff is trash tier retarded. Is it a prerequisite that modern screenwriters have no talent at all??

Sounds like geckos sound file has been corrupted.

Some of them do. Galaxy creation was mostly random. But there are a great number of dead galaxies out there because the blackhole in the middle ate up too much matter in a short amount of time, releasing large amounts of energy, blowing away the matter from the core and stopped star formation. Or the blackhole ate too much of the matter so a proper galaxy couldn't be formed.

EvE exploration is sometimes fun.

I've been working on a part time server, I finally got the tools running last night by messing around with Windows Updates and reinstalling .NET a half dozen times. Will have to put it up tonight or some other night.

...

We need a Space Slave Trader game.

Does Holla Forums believe in climate change?

Spaceships.

Yes, but even if you claim it's a meme, you can't deny the harmful effects on humans of all the pollution the industry releases to the air, so even if it was 100% proven as lie to me, i'd still rally behind it for the sake of a cancer free world

Well Indian transformed a land into poo so yes? Climate change can happen.

Creationists browse this board so at the very least we know a few don't.

...

and some higher rez shots of the two scenes

Exploring with the beluga was a great choice for me. I was actually of outfitted my anaconda for exploration or the aspx but decided the beluga would be a great choice instead. It's like taking a road in an expensive RV, damn shame you can't walk around your entire ship.

season 2 is either space legs or atmospheric landings and if the PS4 trailer is anything to go by 2.3 with multicrew might give us the ability to at least walk round the bridge.

My only gripe is cause of the locked down slots you have to take a 6 slot fighter bay you can't take a 5 and since you can only fit a rank 6 shield and I am not dropping my rank 6 fuel scoop it was a pretty locked in choice. maybe another 5 slot without any limits would fix that gripe or at least unlock one of the existing rank 5 slots.

...

No but the two often go together.

I've been wondering this too. Most movies today are reboots and remakes of older ones and they all suck donkey dick. Creativity is dead.

They couldn't be arsed to come up with an original ship and had to steal the design from Old Republic/Kotor. Fucking hell.

That image triggers me to no end. Did the retard who made it not realize a "got" is a Jewish term for a non-Jew?

*goy
So triggered I'm making spelling mistakes

So, is ED fun yet? Last time I played there was fuck all to do and their BGS was probably an intern moving numbers around during the evening.

Any games where i can attempt forceful frontal penetration?

No.

Legend of the galactic heroes pcgame?

NEWER EVER

user, THERE IS a LotGH pcgame, its in moonrunes only, but if you watched the cartoon you will understand what is happening, it covers great part of the story from both sides, it ends with yang wedding.
It needs games for windows bullshit, I dont know how I did it to trick that shit for loading, was a long time ago

Are you mentally retarded?

Rip Princess Leia.

She was a traitor to the empire so she will not be missed

Fuck off normalfag.
Carrie Fisher was a cunt. Her only redeeming qualities are being sexy in Star Wars.

Don't be, I have a copy of it thanks to an indoctrinated friend and I gave it a go today. Even if they finish this shit it still won't be a good game thanks to the mouselook ships and handholding UI, cinematic voiced fetch quests, and awful FPS callodooty combat. If you want a spess MMO you'll just have to stick with EVE for the time being because this garbage is never going to be good. The only thing it has going for it is the gwafix and seamless transition between FPS and flying but it doesn't utilize this at all and it never will (like putting on a powersuit, jumping onto an enemy ship that's chasing you, and boarding it with explosives).

"Muh Realism™" killed any potential this garbage ever had for being a good game.

Modern screenwriters are jews and get their jobs based on nepotism from fellow jews rather than for merit.


Yes, but there are more important things to deal with right now like closing the borders.

That happened in ED too except they confused realism with tedium so it isn't even realistic, just really fucking tedious, and generation x losers like it that way.

I just don't get it. Why does there need to be a 3 second long animation every time I climb into my ship? And another for going in the cockpit? Why do I need to move at a snails pace? Why do bullets need to travel so fast they're impossible to dodge? This shit is sci fi you can explain everything with technomagic and still claim that it's "realistic"

Realismfags killed spess games, they've killed shooters, and they had killed racing games but it looks like people are finally getting over that shit with all the Wipeout/F-Zero inspired games coming out recently.

It's not even realism, IMO. It's just the perception of realism.

Genuinely realistic shooters like Arma and Verdun are legitimately great. "Realistic" shooters like CoD and BF are neither realistic nor good.

Star Citizen isn't even realistic and the combat in it is boring as fuck.

RIP in peace indeed.

ur a idiot

the best shooters have physically modeled projectiles, simulate gravity, air resistance, etc.
The problem isn't realism, it's that developers implement the boring tedious parts of realism and not the fun parts of realism

but your kind of a dumbass so I guess its understandable that you can't figure this out on your own

Trips of truth, close the borders!

the only good jew is a dead jew

I didn't say there was anything wrong with simulating those things, I was talking about realistic shit that isn't fun like undodgeable bullets or gratuitous janky animations whenever you enter a ship.

Also the best shooters unfortunately do not have those realistic bullet physics features because the only ones that do are shitty boring games like ARMA or Rainbow Six that prioritize realism over fun. I think you should design your games with no setting in mind and have everything be grey boxes until the gameplay is finished then you can worry about the rest. The problem with garbage like Rainbow Six is they ask "how can we make a game about realistic tacticool operations" instead of "how can we make a setting that explains the game we made."

ur a idiot

What game is this? I haven't seen this Star Trek game.

Looks like the mod Armada 3.

If you haven't got it working yet try stopping your Windows Update service then running the installer for kb2670838 the previous user linked. I just got it running for the first time in ages myself.

ED won't be good untill people with complaints, and actually good ideas, type them out on their forums

ED will never be good. They had a game catering to dads and listened to them, now they are focusing on console release.

As if being limited by the always online bullshit wasn't enough all new features will now have to work on consoles too. That bodes well and also explains why we only got one SLF.

That's not really a problem actually, modern game mechanics are trash.

That, however, is the troublesome bit.

Didn't read forward, but actually it's already on console (X-Box) and has been for some time. Now the interesting part is the game is dropping their 32-bit EXEs for PC and going full 64-bit, probably for addressable memory space. If you're cross developing that may be an issue if you have to deal with the same situation over multiple platforms.

user…

Rebirth was such a fucking let down. They had all the shit to make it a god-tier game and they fucked it up by having it be so flat and boring

Such a fucking shame all it is, is pretty elevated terrain. So much potential there for an actual space exploration game with all kinds of alien life and ayyy lmaos

When are they going to make X4?!

>>>/out/

Oh fuck off she is, don't buy that bullshit narrative.

Hoth outfit Leia is the best anyway.

You should >>>/suicide/ for knowing this shit and telling everyone in the first place

dads don't have time to play games and want shit to be fast so they can enjoy them, not waste hours on nothing

I'm not talking about real life, I'm talking about videogames where fun > realism.

Define "fun" because you do realize this game is catered too the people who played the original games when they in their late 20s.

Clearly you don't have kids or married

I downloaded the movie to watch this sequence.

Star Destroyers does nothing
Star Destroyers does nothing, shield gate starts closing
Star Destroyers does nothing
Star Destroyers does nothing
Star Destroyers DOES NOTHING
Star Destroyers panic, but DOES NOTHING, gets destroyed.

This entire sequence is pretty much dependent on the fact that the Captains of the ISD have the command capabilities of a fucking turnip.

Meanwhile Vader arrives on his Star Destroyer on the EXACT vector the Rebels are trying to jump from, and proceeds to subdue the ENTIRE rebel fleet with his ONE ship.

The battle would have been a lot more dramatic if the Star Destroyers closed in on the Rebels right from the start and showed that they were in some sort of danger. Instead it was just two fleets staring stupidly at each other while the fighters were doing all the work and the Mon Cal commander decided "Oh, the Star Destroyers are dangerous, I have an idea to wipe it out with a tug."

Fuck Star Wars. Its dead to me.

I do this occasionally, posts just get swarmed with angry middle-aged forumdads insisting the game is great as it is and if we don't like pointless tedium then we must not like gameplay.

Nobody is crazy enough to do that

The only one that looked ok was the ender games movie

They do. Nobody said they were good fathers.

"Dad" is just a reference to their age. People old enough to have nostalgic memories of the first Elite who cry and bitch every time something that isn't exactly like the Elite they remember is introduced.

Aren't they just doing the same thing Holla Forums does whenever they hear "we want the modern audience?"

...

Are you clinically retarded? Do you not think it hasn't been tried?

Fuck makes me wish Galactic Conquest mod for BF1942 wasn't dead. It was fun playing as the Imperials fighting the Mon Calamari going into battle shouting "Deep Fried Sushi Time!"

Battlestar Galactica had some good ones. The last one near the black hole and the Galactica taking a pounding was pretty good.

Shields are for pussy, real men use armor.

I bet she took it like a champ huh user?

There is a difference between autistically demanding the exact same design as a game from 1984 and being against dumbing down of established mechanics.

None of these actually explain how to get a population on a planet going do they?
Been stuck with trying to get off the planet and every tutorial ever about this game seems to leave out some aspect.

agreed

...

No, because we don't want games dumbed down. These motherfuckers actually want to KEEP ED dumbed down.

It sounds to me that they want an HD remake

That's what they got, with a tackled on multiplayer which is complete shit and RNG everywhere.

Wouldn't that be a good thing since they aren't catering for a new audience and are still catering to the original players?

yes

No, since the players they're catering to have shit taste and are ruining what had potential to be a great space game.

So when are they getting Nova Cannons?

Remove Endless

I'm still newbing in Aurora. I wanted to mess around before reading the guide images just to see what I could figure out on my own. I had my supply system fucked, barely got started.

So I've read the guide now, making a serious effort at it this time. I just like to give stuff a try first going in cold, even if I fuck up bad.
Had way too many holiday parties the last two weeks so wasn't able to dig in the way I wanted to. Should be dull as fuck next few weeks with the shit weather and January just sucking in general so I'm hoping to get in a few hours every day.
Congrats user who conquered a planet up top! It's pretty fucking rad how huge the population and materiel numbers are in this game, feels real in a way so many other games don't. Even just with text.

The same user made more guides and they were posted in an Holla Forums plays Aurora thread but I didn't save any thinking the thread would be up for a couple days, which it didn't. We just need the autist user who made them to show up and post the rest,

I saved only 10 guides but don't know if more were made, so have tutorials 7-10.

...

...

Hello?

So what is the story behind that?

Aurora is a little bit of good in a huge pile of shit.

Some are, some art.
Forumdads in general are just really incompetent, and everything they ask for caters to that level of incompetence.

goons

Star Wars is dead.

Not the same guy, but explain more. Especially if its EVE or something else.

But arent goons in bed with the devs? Or ami mixing up the groups?

In Star Wars? Why? I know they gave the clone troopers gattling guns in the cartoon, but that design doesn't fit any Star Wars faction, or really anything in the verse. The closest would be something out of the prequels, but even they didn't quite fit that.

Some background.

After that i think they said about helping the locals to fix their ecosystem and then leaving them to be and if they massacre themselves after that then it's off of their hands.
Although it seems like Anakin was able to get through to most of the young folks within both tribes, so race war might be averted.

Did they show Revan without his mask, please say no

Nope.
He had his mask on.

Good and thank you

Hey lads.
I am looking for a space game that combines the 4X elements of Stellaris with the gameplay of numale sky in good.
What game am i looking for?

Y-wings disabling the Star Destroyer.
It's momentum is keeping it going on the same path but now that the ship is disabled it has no ability to correct for gravity

So this quirky fucking corvette wedges itself into the side of the Star Destroyer, engages it's space afterburners and applies acceleration to the front part of the Star Destroyer. The only source of thrust is coming from the side of the ImpStar which as you can see is causing it to swing the front end around

Likewise from being disabled the ImpStar being pushed is now under the effects from gravity
From the novel:
>The Lightmaker picked up speed as it approached the fray, pulled by Scarif’s gravity as it pushed with its engines toward the disabled Destroyer.
>The disabled Star Destroyer drifted toward its caged twin. Oquoné's course had been set with precision. As the Alliance starfighters broke away, the two Destroyers collided. Both ships flared with destructive power, and both tumbled more swiftly as Scarif's gravity gripped them. Locked together by cataclysmic devastation, their entwined wreckage plummeted toward the inner ring of the orbital gate station.


NOW
ALL THIS BEING SAID
Star Wars has never been science fiction. Is this bending and breaking the rules of Physics? Sure. But we never fucking cared about how physics were being broken by the Death Star hyperspacing into fucking inhabited systems and orbiting planets. The effects would be horrendous and devastating. I don't see anything really bad with the scene. Stop acting like this is Star Trek where they try to make the appearance of having science back up what they do.

The fact that 2 Star Destroyer can't do shit in the whole battle and suddenly Vader's Destroyer wreck their shit in 5 minute triggers me more.

Happy new years to our great servants of the Empire. Happy new years everyone

You could say that to all science fiction stories.

I wish it were more like LOTGH where both sides have their fucked up negatives and their plus sides, but the overlying reality that there is war and loss of life and suffering is the one thing that both sides have in common. I would love to see a retelling of All Quiet on the Western Front but in star wars. Then again, if you want to see humanization of soldiers in a military machine, you might as well read the Forever War, which is the polar opposite of the "sanitized" universe that Star Wars is.

I really hate popsci faggots shitting up perfectly normal science with their idiot hyper-exaggerations of minute facts they have no real understanding of.

New thread on the way
