Funny that. My current PC has a 650 in it.

Miiight get away with it. Any word on keyboard/mouse input? Still remember the headfuck of my madkatz from the MW2 days.

So dogfights this month?

I think they're adding the Cutlass to the Hangar next week and as far as we know the plan still is to release the Dogfighting module by the end of the month. I'd expect a delay though, their release dates have always seemed a little too ambitious, especially since all these new stretch goals have been unlocked.

Edit: Been delayed for a couple of months. Not surprising. Saw some pictures of what sort of damage you can do to the Hornet model. Noice.

Starting to get excited about this again

So a lot's happened recently.

The dogfighting module was scrapped in December basically so they could make something better. They delivered last week with Arena Commander v0.8. To keep it in-universe it's presented as a simulator you can access through the hangar. If you have the ships it gives you an additional 'trainer' version which you can enter and activate the 'simulator'.

The currently implemented ships are the Aurora, the 300i and the F7C Hornet but if you have another ship that isn't implemented yet, (Like a Cutlass, Freelancer, or Avenger,) you get the use of an equivalent, (Cutlass/Avenger get a 300i, Freelancer gets a Hornet,)

There are only two game modes at the moment, Free Flight which is at it sounds, and Vanduul Swarm where you and two wingmen, (in F7C Hornets,) fend off waves of Vanduul, (bad guy aliens,) fighters.

They'll be adding more ships and game modes as they go.

I've been flying around in my 300i.

Haven't done any dogfighting yet 'cause my six year old PC is a little strained. I have found that Arena Commander actually runs better than the hangar module so I might give it a bit of a go.

Also at the moment they've put the two finalists for "The Next Great Starship", (a competition where teams would build ships for the game,) in everyone's hangar. They're pretty cool looking though you can't get in 'em. The one that looks like it has hair straighteners for engines won but there were a lot of really good ships made for the contest and I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of them implemented.

So this has been going on. More game modes including racing have been added to Arena Commander and a couple more ships - the M50 and 350R. No multi-crew ships yet. They've also completely changed the hangars and are releasing more about the progress of the larger ships. This is a video of the current state of the Aegis Retaliator large bomber:



They're also currently in the process of releasing the third wave of ships, first up is the Aegis Reclaimer:

It's a dedicated salvage vessel. Can't tell a lot from this one image but more will be released tomorrow. Apparently it's goddamn huge.

Yes I think so. Not that I've done much of it with my elderly PC. They're improving it all the time apparently, the last big update included implementing six degrees of freedom which seems to mean up/down, left/right, forward/back, yaw, pitch, and roll.

To mark the second anniversary of Star Citizen being announced you can try all five currently implemented ships in Arena Commander for the rest of the week. I recommend the M50, it's a zippy little bugger.



Also the Origin 890 has been revealed, (it's essentially a space super yacht.)

And they also released the Drake Interplantary Cutlass varients, (and an ad.)

New trailer:



Mostly footage from the various ship ads and some of the gameplay demos that have been showing at the various events, (PAX and whatnot,) throughout this year. Everything still seems to be going pretty well. We'll see what 2015 brings.

Also a new ad for the competitor to the RSI Aurora; The Consolidated Outland Mustang:



They're brought in Andy Serkis to help them with mo-cap. Hopefully that will improve things.

Because it was a good deal and my GTX560 was starting to have issues. I am mostly happy with its performance, though the coil whine is noticeable to me and slightly annoying. I also got a Samsung 24" monitor.

I thought this was incredible and deserved posting.

From simply having different damage states of different parts of a ship, Cloud Imperium are implementing a new damage system that goes a little like this:



That's a Gladius which is a fairly recent addition to the Star Citizen ship line-up. It's an older model fighter, the predecessor of the Hornet.

Edit: Also what the Hell, new footage of the Retaliator bomber.



Be cooler with better lighting but meh.
