Star Citizen has some cool looking ships
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
Hahaha, indeed this looks like a reverse bid, by the next page of the thread they might pay us to play.
They sell a corvette for 1500$ so don't wish for capital ships...
Also, the biggest ship we saw (I may be wrong) is the carrier from the SP mode that's been delayed for 5 years...
Yep. There's that speech which links up with the AC5 character.
Also, I completely forgot, but Ace Combat 3 already had a spaceship in it:
Yeah, fair. Thanks.
I knew SC had multi-person ships, but wasn't sure what size they went up to.
User Warned: inflammatory comparison
Seriously. The Star Citizen shit posting is out of hand on this forum. It's like some of you guys are putting together a CV for the Trump Administration. Mods need to start considering bans for this shit.

Yeah I and the rest of us calling a spade a spade are the trolls when people defending this game even question, one to the point they got banned, developers and mods on this forum who have talked to actual developers of the game how miss managed it is and the lack of progress they are making.
The only real trolls left in SC threads are the ones pretending that this development is actually progressing as planned but they are quickly becoming fewer and fewer.
Stunning designs if you look at them one by one. But as a whole they look like they're coming from different civilitations. I think there should be more common points between them. Look at airplanes, or ships . Does not matter who designed them and what their role is, they all have something in common that i find lacking when i see Star Citizen's ships.
This one?

'Cause yeah, that's a cool ship.
One in the OP kinda looks like it, but it is a bit different. There's a bunch of variants for most ships so it's hard to figure out. The one in the OP never caught my eye before because the city background makes it look smaller somehow.
Squadron 42 is supposed to be a Wing Commander successor, singleplayer.
But Star Citizen is separate and more of a quasi-MMO space sim whose closest comparison is, I guess, Elite: Dangerous. But it's trying to do like 20 years of expansions and add-ons in the initial game so it's kinda taken forever to get off the ground.
Star Citizen will be an MMO, probably managed as an ongoing live service thing (new star systems and ships constantly added post release). Squadron 42 is the main single player game, kept mostly under wraps, probably releasing 2021. The current version of Star Citizen is basically a platform for testing and building on the engine tech and gameplay mechanics in a live experience.

I think they are made by different in universe companies and they might have some similarities between them. Other than that, maybe some are meant to be from different generations.
The ships from the same role or class seem to have some similarities though, e.g. the solo pilot fighters or whatever. The more sleek or yacht looking ones seem to be the standout ones to me.
Yes, I actually was going to say that AC3 already went to (near) space. What a crazy game lolYep. There's that speech which links up with the AC5 character.

It's obvious that all those ships have different purposes, and are made by different "companies". But i feel that there should be more similarites.
If you spent as much on a ship as you would on a card to play the game, would the card be able to play the game when the game is actually finished?
More or less the last two can be some capital ships.
Also from some time ago:
The ship designs for SC are in a class of their own. Elite is just a bunch of ugly space wedges, though I guess the Gutamaya ships are ai-aight.
I'm thinking about upgrading my cheapest starter ship, not only because of the looks, but because of the added functionality. Aegis Avenger Titan is still very much a starter ship, but it has a cargo bay so I can handle more jobs. Plus, it has wings so it will presumably handle atmospheric flight much better when they iron out the flight model.
these are from flickr, i recognize the shots, someone there keep making this screenshots, are you that person??I'll post some in-game shots, lol
Oh man, a Star Citizen thread, this is like blood in the water to Era! I see the discourse is already 70/30 in favor of haters.
I think the ships are, for the most part, fucking ugly.
There's very few designs that look good. Most of them have awful silhouettes and those that do look alright have awful greebling
imagine...a car...in space...but it has some ugly spoiler 3 times the size of the body or...a fighter jet...but covered with glue and thrown into a box full of airfix spare parts

Hell yeah
Which do you like? Or which type
No! keep them away from the beautiful wipeout ships! chris roberts would insist they all have 58 intake grills and spoilers upon spoilers
I say this as a neutral observer hoping star citizen delivers the goods but constantly disappointed by the designs they show. not a fan of the design approach of the game, like they've never heard 'less is more', having a great silhouette etc.
the racing ships are better also i like the eclipse and the hawk
OP
OP
Probably just because of the transformation animation but I think the hawk is the best one
Technically, the 890 Jump that got added in the latest patch is considered as a capital ship :
It's a huuuuuuuuuge ass party boat ship complete with a ship hangar, a bar, a restaurant, a hot tub, two saunas and a fucking pool.
The little ship sitting on it in this screenshot is about 10m long, to put in perspective.
SC doesn't have the open environment that Eve Online has to even make stories like that possible.
This game has the ambition of a game that I dreamed about as a kid. I will buy a PC some day that can play it. I don't know if it will be a good game but there's a lot of tech that AAA games couldn't even dream of.
Good luck to the developers and the backers, I hope the ambition is realised.
Also, cool fucking ships.

All this stuff seems crazy to put in lol. Kind of cool to have it like an MMO group home though.
Ermmm... It is ?
It wasn't always the case, yes, but now the game usually run between 30 and 60 most of the time, with a general average at 40. Even on not so beefy rigs. The game being installed on a SSD is waaaay more important than the graphics card, weirdly enough.
Great pics, great ships!
Seems like it has always been the case on this forum sadly, even though it would be an issue for other games.
