Star Citizen has some cool looking ships
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
A ship that size would need a crew. You couldn't fly it on your own.
So you'd need an NPC crew, or player controlled one.
Though the Connie has a small ship in the back can detach.
I have zero interest in what this game is or will be by the end of its development, but I will say that they have some talented folks doing the actual ship designs. Some very cool looking vehicles.
Here are some banging ship screenshots by Captain Raoul.

Heh, none. I really like the detail of the ships and the world/traversal but the business model and gameplay style of the online version doesn't really interest me. I just hopped on to try the game with 2 friends one of which is really interested in the game.
In free flight events you can fly any ship for free. Btw same applies for PTU testings.

word.
oh shit I need to do that.
I'm probably going to trade my basic-bitch ship in for one of the nicer looking fighters. Because they're nicer looking. If I'm going to have a low-level ship, it mine as well be one that I like the look of. Not sure that my Mustang Alpha is it.
Yeah, it's one thing to see the obvious joke and move on but it's a page filled with a copy and pasted joke cuz everyone's a genius lol.
Anyway, never saw these before they looks really friggin cool. Not enough sci fi games these days with cool varied ship designs.
Yeah...as much as i make fun of the whole SC situation (including selling ships for a 1000 dollars)I'll post some in-game shots, lol
Im not gonna lie, game looks fucking awesome. I really hope it comes together someday
Indeed the lighting, modeling and materials work is beautiful. I remain interested in SC/S24 but not until retail releases.
For comparison's sake: you could have bought every single mainline Call Of Duty, Final Fantasy and Assassin's Creed (three franchises that aren't exactly short) games with that money and still save some change for other games in the process.
Incredible.
Yeah I poke fun at the game as well, but I do want it to actually come out and get as close to it's potential as it can, if only for the people who have sunk obscene amounts of money into the project
It's been more than half a decade now and they seem so far from being finished, that unless they ramp things up it's not going to be ready for another decade, and that won't happen if the funding dries up, and at some point surely people are going to get fed up of buying JPEGs of ships
I can understand why people might not appreciate the snark, but legitimate criticism of the way this game has been funded/developed/updated isn't shitposting, and it's disingenuous to pretend it is
Not liking the snark is fine, but it's also bit "no fun allowed" and assuming all criticism is shitposting is very one sided and reductionist, and not really conductive to discussion
This is a game with macrotransactions that resets your progress every time it's updated after all. The scope and ambition is impressive, but that doesn't mean the game is impervious to criticism

People are allowed to call out and parody absurd and terrible business practices. Nobody is saying you can't enjoy the ships (I would say game but, well, you know), let us rightfully shit on the terrible and bizarre stuff going on with the project in the meantime.
Implying SC is a complete game that they're just adding post-launch content to?

What's this ship? Probably the same as the other one I quoted above.

Looks maybe a bit standard compared to other stuff in the game but looks cool.
If he had to buy them (you can play with them for free):
Eclipse - $250
Sabre Comet - $185
Avenger Stalker - $60
Caterpillar - $300
Valkyrie - $375
Prospector - $155
Total pledge to own them all: ~$1,325.00 USD
Damn, those are some great looking ships. Also, the screenshots are great.
Really curious about the game.
Really curious about the game.
That's because it's still in beta (yeah i know how that sounds) when it gets to 1.0 (baseline content, full release) then everyone's progress will get wiped for one last time. Then no more.
Its not even in beta. Its still an alpha. So its not even balanced yet.
And there is still a lot in that to be critical of, and being critical about that is not shitposting, which was my overall point
I'm going to upgrade my Mustang to either an Avenger, Gladius, 325A, Hawk, Sabre or Arrow.
You forgot my baby, the Avenger Titan.
Dunno which. Accepting recommendations.
I'd prefer a Vanguard Sentinel/Warden (I'm an F-14 Tomcat kinda guy) but it's not available atm.
I would have thought the 600i explorer would be more your style.
I know, I was replying to someone who was conflating shitposting with criticism
You then took part of my reply to that poster and made another point, and I replied to you to explain why I was making my point
Derailing threads is a federal crime.
I'm happy with my Titan, it had a couple bugs a while ago but now, after the rework it got in 3.2 it flies like a dream. It has a decent cargo bay, speed, and damage (1 gatling, 2 lasers, and 3 missiles is pretty neat. I'd say its mayor quality is "versatility". The stalker is pretty cool too.
But what does that have to do with this OP at hand? Since derailing is against forum rules.
There are many other threads where this is more apt to do.
Elite Dangerous ones are incredible too.
One day a real open universe space game is going to come out without the torturous grind of Elite, the nonsense transactions in SC or the simplicity of No Man's Sky, and it's going to be glorious.
Unless SC is that game when it's released?

I've made roughly $3 billion credits in Elite Dangerous in combat and bounty hunting.
That's all I'd be interested in doing. I play space games to blow shit up.
Okay I'll keep my eye on it
Some of you guys just go out of your way to dickish to people online. I will never understand. Shits so lame.
Ahh. Then the Cutlass Black might be more to your liking.
