  • Star Citizen 3.23 has reached wave 3 PTU. We are weeks away from a live release, and many of the more polished features of Squadron 42 will be in players' hands. But with some delays and contentious changes, is it still the great patch it looked like back in February?

    There is one major problem with character creation. CIG has only been using morph targets so far. The all new handles do nothing but accessing random morph targets AGAIN. If you think you suck at character creation here, it is not your fault.

    Very well made video. Loved the scenic shot at 7:56, had to jump back to it at the end to check if it had the "work in progress" from an ISC or was gameplay in EPTU.
    To me it feels a bit premature to categorize things as good and bad with the build improving a lot each week leading up to release. I really hope they can get it stable enough to include RL with recovery enabled within their timeframe.

      like, if they were just patching the live server like it was the PTU I'd understand it being that way, but the fact that they have all these layers of closed betas and public tests before pushing it to a live server makes the buggy live server a really questionable decision.

    • @LucidStrike
      @LucidStrike Před měsícem

      That's exactly how they handle it, trying to be at least about as stable as the previous patch. Important to keep in mind tho that not all players experience the same stability levels. It can vary a good amount. I might find a patch crashy af while you find it pretty stable.

    At 5:15; They should have the fuse or relay block behind a clear window and you have to lift the panel to access the block to replace the fuse or relay (I've suggested this to "Game Ideas", don't expect a change due to, not all ships have panels shown).
    All of the Master Mode functions on the mouse will be difficult (I have tremors), but I saw a good video that had some description of what does what, though it needs to be more in depth the differences of functions, ie: "NAC SCN" versus SCM SCN", "NAV QTM", "NAV FLT", does SCM Missiles replace "GUNS / MOM"?

    • @Power5
      @Power5 Před měsícem

      We have all these doors to components so not sure why the fuses were not just placed inside those doors they already have, instead of just a new random wall location. Most component covers have room to put the fuse next to the actual component. Not sure why they seem to be just randomly placed throughout the ship. Not sure what the fuse was connected to at that video clip but I am pretty sure ALL the components on a C2 are on the 2nd level. I know at least a lot of them are in the floor and back walls of the 2nd level. Either do it that way, or put a fuse box at some location in the ship and make all the fuses there, like cars and houses. Could put them in 2 locations if desired. 1 fuse box for life support type stuff, doors, o2, lights, etc. Then another for ship systems type stuff, engines, shields, thrusters, etc.

    @GnomeKr Před měsícem

    I think that people do not realize one simple fact:
    This single patch has so many good QoL changes that are also quite possible permanent and wont need much attention, polishing, fixing ect. in the future, that it now allows CIG to focus way more on actual gameplay aspect of this game and move more manpower towards the game itself and not it's "presentation".
    I have a feeling that 3.24 and 3.25 patches (if they of course come out and we wont jump straight to 4.0 from 3.23.x) will bring us many, MANY long awaited features that people will definitely wet themselves over.

    @SpaceTomato, do you know how many patches we're supposed to receive this year?

Are we looking at 2 main releases in 2024 (not including any smaller point patches)? Where did they talk about it? I don't recall any specific mentions from CitCon...

    Do you think we will be able to adjust how immersive we want the mechanic system to be?

If you where to do a solo cargo run or go ROC mining so that you won't need to be worried about that? Or do you think they might create a separate (in time) server for the people that don't want to sit repairing a C2 for the next 30 min and just fly around?

    The absolute quality of the video is incredible. Still my favorite source of news for SC. That said, I like the game being complex and realistic but I hope they don't get to a point were it's so much that you have to take it like a job. Flying a small C1 as a solo player and having to deal with the fuses, components broken, Master modes and so I think will burn out some people. Haven't tried 3.23 tho, so can't say for sure. Hope I'm wrong.

    • @SpaceTomato
      @SpaceTomato  Před měsícem +1

      While they want to keep the game fun for sure, you can rest assured that ships meant for small crews will be balanced to support small crews. Even if engineering is heavy handed at first, it is going to be balanced for the players.
      That being said, from my time in engineering already, C1 owners will probably be able to completely forget about engineering. It'll only be a problem if you're stressing your systems A LOT.

Running through a DC that you know is faster because you do not have to look at the mobi at ever couple turns to verify your path. Having it in the corner is too easy mode for everyone.

    The interaction "UI" elements not being made part of the actual user interface (aka what is on the "screen"), but made game world elements is such a stupid decision and shows that for CIG, "cool" is more important than usable.
    Sure it's looks cool to have a floating button near the item you want to buy, but in practice an element on the user screen is 100% the better choice: it is always visible, not hidden behind the item, doesn't rotate wrong and most important, is instantly accessible.
    Often, less is absolutely the better choice. This is design 101.

    • @SpaceTomato

      They will add more barely functioning stuff.
      Honestly, it depends on the mission and what's breaking it. Package deliveries will not be fixed until they are replaced by the cargo missions schedueld for 3.23.x. Bounty missions suffer from problems like desync and poor AI (sever meshing), bunker missions suffer from older constructed locations. Some of those missions will move to Distribution Centers, so that may help, but that depends on how well performance is in the live servers.
      Ultimately, you're best off waiting for srever meshing to settle things.

    So, i downloaded the EPTU and it crashed and destroyed my RAM literally. My PC would turn on but no display and i would hear 5 beeps. I was freaking out because i am not the best at fixing PCs nor am i experienced enough to pinpoint issues. In this case i did have my older pc which had 16gb or RAM, so i took those out and installed them in my current pc and it worked but i'm afraid to redownload 3.23. my PC is an HP 2TB hd, 500gb SSD, Nvidia geforce gtx 1660 super, 16gb RAM. It reaches the minimum requirements for star citizen and i installed star citizen on my SSD. I had no issues at all with 3.22 but as soon as i started playing 3.23 it happened about 2 minutes in. Is this a freak occurance or could SC 3.23 have done it?

    Maybe not a major update, yet it is a HUGE QOL update. They've fixed many things that I complained about for years, and might actually bring me back. The way SC is now I'd much rather have QOL features than more stuff added. Honestly I couldn't care less about new features if my interaction with them is horrendous, or I can't even get there. I've been waiting for a patch like this for years.

    @FrozenKnight21 Před měsícem +1

    I think I've figured out the major reason for the MM slowdown. It has to do with how fast you can move before your computer updates.
    Your ping time is the delay time between when your send a command and thr server receives it, or the time when the server sends you an update and when you receive it. Ping time is a big deal, and usually measured in mili-seconds, or thousandth of a second.
    But why am I talking about ping? With the current flight model the typical flight speed for most ships is arround 1000 meters per second. That is fairly fast about mach 2 - 3. But the reason I rounded to 1000M/s is because it makes the math easy. At 1000M/s and multiply it by your ping for a decent connection 30ms or 30s/1000. This means for a typical good connection before your connection can physically get data to you a typical ship will have moved 30 meters. That isnt accounting for slow server updates, or slower ping times which can be over 100ms (which pushes that distance up to 100m) for some people. In combat that means someone can make a sudden movement and you won't know about it until long after you missed your shot. Combine that with the typical light fighter size, and well now you can see why PvPers who practice such movements are so upset by this change. Slowing down combat will make it so that rather than missing them completely, the best they can do is miss a critical system.
    This makes sense that nav mode, where your not suposed to be in combat, which allows for speeds closer to the old/current system. As you typically won't be in combat when flying at those speeds so its not as critical for your position to be updated as quickly.
    These slower speeds also make turrets more valuable, as they can track a target much easier when it isn't flying past them faster than the speed of sound.
    Im actually in favor of the change, though it does feel a bit clunky in the current itteration.

    FLAT style of GUIs keeps coming and going for decades now, so if anyone wants to pull the "modern" card, you're so yesterday.
    Details like colours, relief, glass, shadows, all can improve the clarity of GUI, helping to convey not just rudimentary function, but mark active parts like buttons or sliders, from passive labels, and convey hierarchies and relationships between the interface items, I believe.
    I'm big minimalist in my profession, but minimalistic interfaces just don't do the job they're designed to do.
    And that job is NOT to look pretty, nor it is to be invisible.
    I was afraid that the new mobiglass will become a holographic mess we seen at cargo management terminal preview long time ago.
    I think it turned out to look fantastic and getting the job done too.
