Out of Pod Experience

sweet.

Agree, there arent many things i will touch with EA Origin or Acti-zard/Blizzard-Vision written on them now

I guess thats what happens games companies spend too much time circle jerking on their consumers.

I think you're confusing Origin in SC. Origin is an in-game manufacturer of ships (kinda like Roden or RSS), has nothing to do with EA.

New concept destroyer has been released:

14 Guns for AA defence( 8 on the top and another 8 on the bottom), twin torpedo launchers, cruise missile launcher and 4 really large guns dedicated for capital ships, it can also be player owned and lands on planets too....

Agree. Pretty uninspiring designs overall; despite recently hiring a guy who worked on Guardians of the Galaxy. Perhaps once you start playing they'll grow on you, but I doubt it, because the game in it's current pre-alpha is unplayable; at least for me. The framerate is very bad on my current laptop rig.

Well since the designs are built initially from practical utility, and in this case, it's full firing arcs on the top half and bottom half of the ship, along with turrets covering the rear half of the ship too, there isn't too many choices since it isn't done to simply look good, since there's corridors and living and engineering spaces, and weapons being manned, along with command and control sections that people have to walk to inside the ship itself, not to mention a small flight deck.


In eve ships are designed to look good but don't even try to make any sense, and i'll use a vargur as an example since it does look good overall, but when the right side guns are firing at some angles( namely rear and to the right), the shells are going thru the ships hull before hitting enemy ships......That would never fly in star citizen.

Anyhow, it's still a work in progress and not finalised yet.

^ pure win will go quad GPU my self just need to resist for one more year :)

I have been aware of Star Citizen for some time and loved Wing Commander Privateer, but the options to back the game's development and the rewards you get for various levels of backing were overwhelming. That and I didn't really know much about any specific planned game mechanics.

I've been looking more and more at Star Citizen though and am looking at which pledge package would best suit me. I'm a junkie for physical content, and the Constellation package looks to get me the most stuff without spending a thousand dollars. I'll put some more thought into and research some things. For one, I've read on their forums that physical items also include their digital counterparts, which would be great, but I can't confirm it from any reliable source (i.e. a dev).

So,

PAX video with the whole dogfight module is out.

Skip to minute 21 and have fun!

That dogfighting reveal sure is looking good. Right on schedule too.
