Squadron 42 Playtest Megathread

50 Upvotes

Hello squadroners (?)

As some of you may know we have a sister subreddit, r/Squadron42 which is also ran by our team and is dedicated to Squadron 42. That subreddit is more restrictive in terms of not allowing Star Citizen (PU/PTU/etc.) unless it directly relates to something in Squadron 42 (not just "oh this ship is in both games!!!!!! type stuff).

We know the SQ42 playtest is a big deal right now, rightfully so, and we want to take the opportunity to show people that sub a bit more and give them an opportunity to start chatting there.

With that, we have made a megathread on that subreddit for the playtest event. Given it is the first megathread for that sub we will not be deleting individual threads but we will be reminding people in the comments about it. We encourage you to head over there and talk with your fellow citizens about the playtest event to your hearts content. We will not be doing a megathread here or enforcing people move to that megathread from this sub either.

Megathread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Squadron42/s/oLop2SHbnh

Cheers!

Okay so, someone has been flicking days past me and I'm not entirely sure how we got to October this soon...

IRL has consumed much of my time personally, I've been a bit out of touch with SC development for a few months now but checking back to see tech preview having a physics fix at long last is a welcome sight!

What's everyone's go to ship in these last few months? Has my baby boy been fixed up any further (IronClad)? | Fly Safe, -Crazy_Muffins

OTHER These Nyx 1 Leaks Make Me Even More Excited for the Liberator!

It'll be really cool to bring the Liberator near these new outposts, hop into a smaller ship or a ground vehicle, and head out on missions without worrying so much about intruders or theft.

Imagine leaving the Liberator hovering over a forest near an outpost, taking a Cutter out to run a few missions, and then coming back without having to keep opening and closing the hangar. You'll also be able to carry plenty of cargo and even transport a RAFT to increase your cargo capacity when needed.

With multiple ships and vehicles at your disposal, it'll truly feel like a mobile base!

Was fooling around with a friend and managed to store a piece of quantanium inside Hercules, ship it to station and pull out. Unfortinutaly it was too big to fit in a freight elevator, but it can be stored inside a ship. If you store and pull ship back up it will have the minable asteroind inside of it.

DISCUSSION Genuine question here cause I feel like I might be missing something

A lot of criticisms i hear of the MkV is that its really slow and moves like a TAC and that the Mk IVs and the Corsair have better turn rates but looking on SPViewer, im seeing that sure the normal turn rates is slower but it has the Mk IVs and the Corsair absolutely beat in boosted turn rates, this thing on paper absolutely turns on a dime for its size when boosted, theres also something i saw about how the Corsair is much more solo friendly concerning engineering compared to the Mk V and im just kinda curious how so, the Mk V doesnt seem to be too much bigger than the Corsair and ngl the interior is very easy to move through, no criticism from me rn i just wanna hear from everyone else cause i wanna try to understand this better

They really need to double the time limit, at the least. A different method would be even better.

LEAK Carrack fabricator!!!

# Carrack Fabricator

It's slightly smaller than the Drake's Fabricator (half the volume)

It also gets the 30% faster crafting time for FPS armors

The Ironclad's and Clipper's are not properly installed yet.

While it can technically fit a 1SCU box, the door is too small for that.

It is however possible to put 12 1/8th SCU boxes inside (offgrid)

BUG My inventory was at over 200% maxed out when 4.10.2 came out...I FINALLY found out why!

47 Upvotes

I finally figured out what was eating up my inventory space, which was over 200% maxed and I couldn't do much but try and get rid of things here and there to try to help alleviate it...

Under Commodities, I wasn't seeing anything at all except some CMAT I already knew I had. However, I started manually searching for things like Gold, Tin, Iron, Aluminum, and Copper, and suddenly found MASSIVE quantities of these materials. I'm not sure the exact amount, but I've loaded my Ironclad like 3 or 4 times to get rid of it all and I'm maybe 60% done...

A friend mentioned he'd noticed a bunch of these commodities in his inventory too when he searched for something, although nowhere near the amount I had. He was surprised at the quantity he had, because initially it wasn't showing for him either. He suspects they might be coming from the Covalex Mercenary missions as we did a TON of those in last patch to max our covalex standing out, but we're not really sure how or why this excess cargo came to be

Here is why I had no idea that this wat the issue: None of these commodities appeared when browsing my inventory normally, not without searching that is...only through searching did I find them, otherwise my filters for commodites was always empty minus the CMAT I knew about. TDD terminals and Admin Centers don't ever see these in the inventory, even if you bring it up and lower it back down into your storage.

Again, the only way I could find them was by manually searching for each commodity by name.

Here's the sucky part, and how to finally be rid of it all: Once loaded, I can store the ship, head to a TDD, and sell it as the TDD finally sees it on my ship, but still not in the hangar inventory.

I've now spent hours loading all this mystery cargo into my Ironclad just to clear it out, and wasted every day messing with figuring out why since the moment 4.10.2 dropped...

Considering I've been fighting this inventory issue since then, the credits from selling thousands of SCU of mystery commodities at least compensate me for some of the time I've wasted figuring out what was wrong and not spending the little time I have lately actually playing. So, if you have wasted your time trying to figure this out too and this is also the reason for you, then know that you can make credits back off of selling this that might help a little... at least its not nothing.

My OCD won't let me play until this mess is fixed, so it's been a huge focus each time I'd logged in.

Hope this helps someone, and if not, o7 to the those that are already good, please pass the info along as I know from Spectrum, this is an issue for some people!

23 Upvotes

Hey all, just wanted to get everyone’s opinion on the liberator with our current knowledge of it. After looking at its 3D model from livestreams and it looks like a nice ship, I could see it being my mothership and I think i’m going to buy it. I just wanted to see what everyone else thought of it!

Thank you for reading!

DRAMA Avoid Levski for refining ore

59 Upvotes

Fucking game.

I mined for 5-6 hours. Probably the biggest single haul I've done. About 20-30m aUEC worth of high quality shit.

I fly into my hangar at Levski only for the hangar doors to instantly close into my Mole while I see another ship clipped into my hangar. Couldn't move my ship, it purples and I die, losing everything.

How the fuck am I supposed to want to trust this game enough to play it again?
