They're still overhauling the core gameplay at this point, would be surprised in S42 is ready next December
There is no december date for S42. They normally talk about and provide updates in December. They have not stated a specific month for release ever as far as I can recall.
The work on Star Citizen isn't an indicator of their progress on S42. They are two different environments, with different limitations and restrictions.
Oops sorry. I misread the op. It says a roadmap is planned to come out in December. I guess I didn't see the roadmap part. My mistake. I'll go back into hibernation
eh, that technically isn't true but there's no sense in bogging down this thread with theoretical spaceflight discussion.
In any case, kind of a bummer that the quantum thing is just a hand wave. They could've just aped Star Trek.

The entire point of warp drives was because of the concept of moving at the speed of light was impossible. But instant teleportation probably would give the game engine hell and many of the systems planned work around time during travel.

You get a Buccaneer because the Cat can't be used in Arena Commander competitive modes. It's just also allowed in the PU for some reason.
Man, I gave you an out. Why do you insist?
From your own link:
The current theory of how this could work in real life is the Alcubierre warp drive which involves warping the space around the craft. The craft itself doesn't travel FTL. The spacetime around it is warped to the extent that the craft arrives at its destination faster than it could travel conventionally, since nothing can actually travel faster than light. That's the entire reason it's called "warp."
You are just proving exactly what I stated. Warp Drives as a concept were created to solve the problem of ships not being able to move faster than light. In EVERY instance of warp drives the space is warped around the ship. The ship itself doesn't move at the speed of light in any fiction. The end result is that the ships reach their destination faster than the speed of light. You do realize you cemented what I said not challenged it right?
OP
OP
He said technically you don't travel faster than the speed of light, and he's correct, because you don't in a warp drive. You're just contracting (warping) spacetime and getting to a place without traversing the full distance. You get there faster than you would by traveling the speed of light, but you're not technically traveling faster than light, because light in the warp bubble would always move faster than the ship.
but like molnizzle said, I totally agree with him that
You do realize that you initially stated that warp refers to things that "travel faster than the speed of light," to which I replied "eh, that technically isn't true," right?
Nice job on the pointless derail though.
I've finally been able to load up 3.3.6 and head over to Lorville! It was incredible jumping in a Cutlass Black and quantum jumping to Hurston. Seeing my ship pass by the "Sun" was jaw dropping. I managed land in the Lorville spaceport successfully. The city is incredible! I just wish there was more interactivity. Two bugs I noticed right off the bat; the bartender was glitched and stuck in position , I couldn't interact with him; the top level of the residence quarters had a consistent glitch in the geometry. I could consistently walk out of the map at the same point (pretty hilarious to see).
Question though, did everyone just temporarily get a Cutlass Black? I never bought the ship, but it was in my inventory I loaded up 3.3.6. Man, it's taking a lot of energy to not bite on purchasing an Anvil Arrow. The ship looks very cool. I know I don't need it though.

As I stated before
I didn't state the ships themselves move at the speed of light at any time. I wouldn't because the concept of warping space is why the tech has the word "Warp" in it. The term "Warp" regarding the tech indicates a form of FTL travel. But if me not being specific enough allows for someone to feel better about themselves by being pedantic then I guess it is all for the greater good.
Sure. That would have made sense except in no instance of warp does the ship itself move at the speed of light, so that should have been a given.

Can we now please stop debating the technicality of warp drives in a thread about a game where there is no warp drive brought on by a question someone had who said themselves that they don't want to discuss the technicality of warp drives and bog down the thread.
Yeah there are some glitches with the geometry in places they obviously didn't intend for anyone to go to. It's nice to see more people than usual having a good time with SC and not encountering stupid bugs or crashes, although there are still people experiencing those unfortunately.
Yes, everyone got a Cutlass Black for the free-fly. I'm not getting the arrow either.

Indeed, that is exactly why I replied and corrected you when you said that warp normally refers to things that travel faster than the speed of light. Because warp doesn't refer to things that travel faster than the speed of light. Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
You used incorrect phrasing to describe something (I assume) and I simply pointed that out and suggested we not bog down the thread with pointless discussion. So you decided to bog down the thread with pointless discussion. You should stop doing that.
Is there a way to significantly lower the mouse sensitivity for ships? I'm at stock settings and small mouse movements make the ship nearly spin out of control. It's extraordinarily annoying lol.
OP
OP
Options -> Controls for sensitivity slider and curves. Never messed with it so not sure how much it'll help.
Thanks, I tried messing with the sliders but didn't notice a significant difference. They were already pretty low.
Anyway, do you guys think CIG will make the arcade machines and pool tables playable in Lorville in the future? Man, I just hope for much more granular level of interaction with the world. I hope areas like Lorville and Port Ollisar aren't just big hub areas for getting missions as the game progresses in the future. It would be cool to get CyberPunk 2077 levels of world interaction within the major hub areas.
It happens, and it is server wide.
You'll need to hop onto another server. The easiest way is probably forcing a connection to a different region.
Then you can get into the convention hall, rent all the ships and then go back to the automatically assigned server. Persistence is global, so you should have those ships available in your inventory.
OP
OP
Almost certainly. They're building out an interaction system (in fact the current interaction system should allow for much more than is currently being done) but it's obviously not been a priority the last few years. You can see the kind of granularity that we may eventually have one day here :
Back when ATVs were good :(
Star Citizen (The MMO) None.
Squadron 42 (the AAA single player game) Slim.
Human standing next to Idris landing gear!
Massive ship is massive.

So I re-downloaded the game today and was giddy when I discovered they changed the design of the mustang. Then I traveled to Hurston, but somewhere along the way I got transported into a Blade Runner film.
Gameplay may not be there yet, but atmosphere is definitely 10/10.

600i is sexy as hell for a ship. Feels good having one in my fleet.
Don't remind me. I'm too fucking poor to buy it. :(

It's not like Shy hasn't had access to multiple 600i's if he wanted to borrow one from org members.
Also, you're not too poor to own one Shy. You just don't want to give up your physical pack that has the Phoenix attached to it. =P

Ehhh. I don't feel comfortable about doing that yet. I know it's sounds silly, but ya know.
I can be both.
Poetic, the one that doesn't feel like garbage to fly is a bug lol

hahaha took me a while to find the insect. Wow.
Derek Smart is going to be so riled up about this shit here. I'm grabbing my popcorn.
Edit: I fucked it up for everyone.

That's beautiful, can't wait till they add female characters to the game.Female Armor Preview
They teased Microtech (it's reassuring to see it already) and ArcCorp too:

MicroTech won't be entirely covered in snow apparently.

Potterson, seems people are averaging around 30fps with a 970. You need a pretty good cpu and ssd also to get decent performance for now. 60 fps will probably be possible on the moons and in space.
Go here and see how other people's specs are faring.

A shame it becomes all incel-ly whenever they bring up the female armors. "Where's the bikini armor." Seen several posts like that all over, even with other evocati.
So who's getting the Origin 890 Jump? That ship looks incredible! Anyway, it's hard to really get excited about 3.4. It looks like the object container streaming and procedual city rendering performance improvements might not make 3.4. 3.5 looks to be where most of my anticipation is right now.
