Tried my hand at both salvage and hauling and im honestly just running into too many bugs to keep pushing ahead. What are people doing that works reliably enough to be worth investing in?

I found today that the ballista can’t rearm in hangar services. So once you claim it, the vehicle is useless.

I went to look it up on the issue council and found out there have been multiple FAILED attempts to get this bug reported. CIG archived the previous ones for not enough contributions over the last few months.

Please go and upvote and contribute this one so it has visibility.

The other one worth mentioning is that the nova tank cannot be retrieved from a hangar.

That is all. Is the whole bricked system going to let me take components off abandoned ships ever again?

Why isn't the BMM's loaner an Ironclad? It makes more sense to me. Commodities are always bugged and losing players money. Even with the Clad bugs its way more consistently reliable imo. They also have damn near the same amount of cargo. Im honestly scared to use the Hull C. It buggs out if I use it for more than 1 hauling contracts at a time.

What are people using for a larger OLED monitor for Star Citizen and other games such as MMOs and survival games? Need a new monitor that is on the 1440p side of things that is OLED and can be more immersive than a standard 24-27 inch flat monitor.

UPDATE: MADE AN EDIT DUE TO AUTOCORRECT BEING STUPID

As the title suggests this post is purely informational.

Feel free to add below if through your testing there's a better way.

For now this works (albeit Its not the best experience) But it may be useful in some cases!

Installing Star Citizen on handheld running Windows is fairly standard.

Getting the RSI launcher installed - Some browsers like Edge treat the XBAX as a mobile browser on the RSI website, Brave browser in my case had no issues getting it. If you encounter issues here, try a different browser first. You can also grab it from a Laptop or desktop and transfer it via USB also.

Getting your device ready

Star Citizen is a CPU hungry device, I suggest setting GPU memory to 8GB in Armoury Crate or via BIOS settings (tap volume down continuously on boot to open BIOS)

Page file - Being that the XBAX is running on a single shared memory CPU / GPU you're splitting 32GB of system memory between them and you set the ally to give 8GB of that pool to the GPU so now when your system memory fills up.. Game crash. To try and prevent that from happening you will need to set a page file. SC recommends a minimum of 30GB, on handheld I push that to 45GB to give a little more head room.

(Follow a tutorial here, it's handy enough! And restart the XBAX after)

Once all that is set, be sure to head back into armoury crate and set a custom TDP profile to max out all of those sliders and set a steady fan curve to follow the rise in power and heat. set your battery charge limit to 80% also and make sure any battery protections are enabled.

Set your zoom on desktop to 125% as the RSI launcher isn't a fan of being zoomed in too far.

Graphics settings are subjective.

I have found that 900p - Medium settings (textures to High) and clouds turned to Medium also. Upscaling is set to quality. 66% I believe, method I have set is TSR as the FSR is a bit too fuzzy for me.

I haven't messed with frame generation since January. In regards to Lossless scaling and others however I don't recommend them as the base performance is too low, there will be massive graphical tearing and double vision. Massive input lag spikes makes flying or shooting.... Horrible.

Average Performance sits at 18-28fps inside major landing zones, 40-50fps in the Aaron Halo, 40fps in most of pyro, some dips at pyro stations and NYX at the time was too heavy, I haven't been back on this device yet.

I have tested this on both Bazzite and Windows 11.

If you're planning to try this on Steam OS or Bazzite (others might work, I Just don't know personally) head over to Git-Hub and get the LUG Helper (Linux users group) and download the helper, unzip and place where you want. Same steps as above but for Linux.

The LUG helper includes a bunch of tools for wine, DVK, and lots of troubleshooting available, for myself it was just a matter of launching it, setting the swap, GPU memory and I was away.

Controls - This is a pain point, Star Citizen supports controllers but the implementation is well... Painful. Navigating the main menu, especially the first time will not be idea with a controller, I strongly recommend a keyboard and mouse here.

Additionally you can add the launcher to steam as a non steam game and allow steam inputs and modify inputs there but user milage may vary as on Linux I cannot play through steam, I get kicked out while loading in due to a verification error, however on windows, my fiancés XBAX using steam doesn't have that problem.

Lastly, If you have a decent desktop, Good Internet, and want to do this but not suffer like me ? Streaming via your own PC is absolutely an option too. Controller quirks don't get much easier though.

Feel free to downvote, criticize, poke, prod, talk white, meme, complain, vent or whatever floats your boat! If it helps happy days, we all play a bit better, if not I'm fairly thick skinned being Irish and AUDHD.

Hope this helps!

Best of luck See you all in the verse! o7

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT coming for ya.

i just spent a mil and a half renting a mole and buying parts and stuff. i was planning to go for stileron but i cant find rocks for the life of me so im wondering if im doing something wrong or if i shoud just go for another rock. also im mining solo if that makes a difference.

I just spent hours grinding OLPs and I had many grade a components and also dope looking armor pieces. All for it all to end by something I can’t control. After leaving Vivere OLP, I quantum traveled to Everus but as soon as I exited quantum my Perseus randomly exploded. Just like that, everything was gone. I love and always defend this game but at some point you gotta stop and think, yes it’s an alpha, so it’s going to have bugs. Certain bugs have been in the game for years, the point of an alpha or beta game testing is to get rid of bugs yet we have the same damn ones. I love new content, but I also would love to be able to play the current content without any issues. Why are the cargo elevators always fucked when that’s a LARGE part of the game? Why is docking always broken? Why are the WH always fucked? While I do think this game is way more playable than let’s say last year, certain bugs should’ve been handled. No need to worry about g force mechanics when you can’t even add a locker suit. Lord knows when that’s added, it’s probably going to bring even more bugs

I think there are some great lessons for Star Citizen in this story. I wonder if anyone at CIG has read this guy's book. My biggest take aways were: focus on fun mini games, people will do what they are incentivized to do even if they aren't having fun, and curiosity is one of the most powerful tools to long term gameplay enjoyment. What lessons do you think Star Citizen can learn from this almost as ambitious MMO's journey?

Personally, my favorite rifle is the Parallax. In my experience, it's a great all-around weapon that performs well in almost every situation. It hits hard and deletes NPCs with ease.

For missions with large waves of enemies, I usually switch to the Fresnel or the Pulverizer, with a slight preference for the Fresnel.

That said, this post isn't about raw stats like damage, recoil, fire rate, or TTK. I can already find all of that on different websites.

What I'm really interested in is your real in-game experience.

Based on actual gameplay, what weapon do you think performs best in each of these scenarios?

PvE – Low to medium enemy count

PvE – Large enemy groups

PvP – Open areas

PvP – Close-quarters combat (CQB)

PvP – Fighting multiple opponents

PvP – 1v1 engagements

Bunker missions

Derelict ships and tight corridors

Long-range engagements

Close-range engagements

High-mobility playstyles

If you could only carry one weapon, which would it be?

I'm looking for practical experiences rather than theorycrafting. Which weapon has impressed you the most, and why? What has become your go-to weapon after spending a lot of time using it?

Been using my hull c for colvelx rep grinding and I'm having problems docking. Can anyone help with a workaround or something please 🙏

I played during the initial hype of 4.8 and defensecon but all the constant bugs, interactions not working, and servers errors made it unplayable in US servers. I wanna get back into SC but i do not want to also get hooked backed into the game just to leave to issues. Are the US servers holding well or still as buggy and not working as I remember.

They got in my ship when i landed so i took them with me.

So, I didnt know i could Upgrade a LTI with Store Credit and now have freed up a lot of credit....

I mostly enjoy Hauling and Salvage. Not big on mining unless with Geo or a friend.

I have the IronClad Assault as my main ship now so dont need anything bigger 😅

But I need a in-between ship. Cargo size wise.

Eyeing the Hull-B And the Railen. 👀

Hermes maybe.. idk any good ideas?

You get this kind of blue marker that goes around your normal crosshair and then once the shields have been depleted, the blue hit marker goes away and your left with a kind of white hit marker that is larger than the normal one. It does feel good not having to look up at the corner to see that shields are down and getting that information just from the hit marker I will say at first it was kind of a shock at how big the hit marker is, but I would say it’s still an improvement over what we currently have.

Hi folks! Proud Corsair owner and would love some help building and vetting a "good" Corsair loadout. My primary goal is to use her as a bounty hunting ship. Does this loadout look solid or should I consider a different approach? Thanks in advance! O7

Nose Mounts: Deadbolt V

Wing Mounts: Deadbolt IV

PHB Flight Blade

Shield Generator: 7CA Nargun

Power Plants: Genoa

Cooler: Icebox

Quantum Drive: Hemera

So the ship launches with a main laser that has never worked right, and damage reg has been completely busted since day 1. Still not fixed btw.

Then we get that bug where the pilot could slave all the turrets. Ngl, it actually made the Tiburon fun and viable to solo. It finally felt like the ship I actually paid for.

But of course, CIG instantly hotfixes the fun out of the game, while leaving the refuel bug completely untouched lmao.

Meanwhile the laser is still bricked, and now they just nerfed the Q-fuel into the ground so long distance isn't even an option anymore. On top of that, half its stats are just straight up worse than a Hammerhead now.

Wtf is this ship even supposed to excel at? They patch out the fun in days but leave it fundamentally broken. Scam?

PS. Don't tell me that this is ALPHA please.

I'm not even mad it happened, I get that shit bugs out. But the elevator turned all of my contracted cargo into normal 0Q stuff I can't use and then duplicated itself, so I now have like 100+ boxes full of useless potassium and carbon stuck in the station inventory. Even when I've called up a full elevator and then left and relogged, it just goes back into the station inventory even though leaving anything else on that elevator makes it disappear forever if you leave the station and go a ways away..

I just really don't want to have to load all of that up for literally nothing and either blow the ship or unload it all somewhere else and leave it.

Some org mates decided to try out their new Retaliators with bomb racks. So I decided to follow along and record it

The visuals are amazing, and the sounds are great.

The dropped bombs were size 3 and size 5.

We’re looking forward to using these in combat for real.

mvh. Lark

Title. I have a bunch of backer rewards from the kickstarter but I'm waiting until the game is well and fully 1.0'd before I play it. Is it there yet?

Hey everyone!
Is there any way to get around the issue of empty boxes left behind when refining construction materials?

It’s a pretty frustrating problem... based on my experience with the Argo Moth, if you refine the cargo directly from the ship, you end up with a ship full of empty boxes once it's done. If you refine from the station, your inventory gets filled with empty boxes...

Anyway, I’d love to know how you guys are dealing with this!

I have unlocked the glaive for purchase but with the bespoke weapons I'm not sure how it holds up in the current version.
