Xenothreat is one of Star Citizen's oldest events. It was the first time we got to see the Idris and Javelin duke it out in the verse in all their glory. It also gave players the opportunity to take place in a large space battle with capital ships. And after being on hiatus for some time due to performance reasons. CIG really wants the event to come back with a bang. This small update will also bring in Jumptown again. Are you looking forward to these events, or are you more interested in 3.23.2 and its incoming inclusion of personal hangars and changes to cargo? Come on, I know you are :) Let me know below!

Even in Zero-G you would want the VTOL to slow your descent so you don't slam into the pad. Plus it always looks cooler. I would rate significantly more harshly. Lol. Gear - 1pt VTOL - 1pt Wing Config - 1pt Timing (of the above) - 3pts Smoothness - 4pts Bonus points for flair, like I will sometimes fly backwards into the hangars in my Corsair.

Sometimes they assign my Fury, 135C or Drake Herald one of the "Queen Amadala" hangars. I'm not landing in the center of that. So I expect extra credit for landing like a boss with the door opening right on the "Exit" sign. lol I think if I were rating them, I'd focus just a little less with the time the gear comes down.. a little outside the airshield is fine... but... ... I'd be incredibly judgmental if the ship ever moved when it didn't need to and in one direction .. then the opposite direction. Not only hesitation but the ship should land with a purpose. More vectored landings with fewer corrections. I know not everyone can afford sticks.. but dang...they make things look soooo much better.

VTOL usually isnt used on no Gravity locations...

@mhmm4840 2 ай бұрын

IMO ships need to spawn with VTOL in the down position. I agree that it shouldn't be necessary at stations because your in a gravity field for a couple seconds at most, but maybe once the maneuvering thrusters can overheat it will be a good idea to activate VTOL, just in case they overheat and you drop to the floor of the hangar.

You have gravity in the hangar itself

@mhmm4840 2 ай бұрын

@@grumpyoldmad I think it's just dependent on the ship you're flying and how much cargo you have. Something like a RAFT might not need the VTOL unless it's full on cargo boxes, since they're only lifting a couple feet before there's no gravity. While ships that are landing/TO planetside without an aerodynamic design need the VTOL to stay in the air. In the future it will be up to players whether or not they overheat their maneuvering thrusters to land/TO in hangars, as long as their ship can maneuver without them.

Once you’re above any landing pad there’s gravity, so for maximal realism and cinematic effect, you’d want to engage them pulling into any hangar.

I agree... Never leave your ship open unless you are right there and aware of everything going on around you. I actually was at Everus Harbor and I pulled out my MSR to fly to Arccorp. When I got to the Hanger I looked around and didn't see anything out of place so I opened my ship, went up the ramp but... I've gotten into the habit of doing a complete circle to the right at the top before I look at the door panel and I always position myself at the door control so I can see the ramp. Sure enough someone who was hiding in the hanger ran up the ramp right in front of me and tried to stand in the opposite corner in the bay hoping I would just turn and head for the elevator. I stood there and stared at them for a few seconds before I ran down the ramp closed it and went and stored the ship. They appeared at the Asop area almost instantly and immediately headed toward the hanger elevators to try again. This is not the first time someone tried to sneak on my ship so I'm aware of the tricks they use. Don't make it easy for them and close up your ship unless it's absolutely necessary to open it and make sure your head's on a swivel the whole time you have it open. Also never assume you are alone anywhere in the Verse.

Pretty sure the second ship (Corsair) was me haha, normally I'm good with at least bringing the wings out as I leave but the stupid stuff getting stuck in hangar bays and bouncing the ship around to break free has gotten me frustrated to the point I just want to get going, making it pretty/cinematic can wait for when every launch isn't a physics struggle.

My favorite way to take off from a hanger with overhead doors is to lift off just a bit, raise my gear as I'm pitching to 90° and with full throttle and afterburner, take off like a rocket! I like to switch to external camera facing the front of the ship to get the full affect of the speed I'm leaving behind the hanger.

@MaxPSVR 2 ай бұрын

My takeoff’s from planet city hangers goes like this. As the hanger doors are opening I hover just above the pad and rotate facing upwards at 90deg. Bring in my gears, turn on nav flight mode. Push the throttle all the way up, hold shift. And when the hanger doors have opened just enough for for me to pass through. Hit accelerate. Exiting the atmosphere in 5.5 seconds.

12 minutes ago! Hey!! I'm wondering how you set your camera up for these shots? do you just raise it above the cockpit enough so that the ship never shows? I wanted to do some filming of low flying using a nose camera but i always seem to end up with the ship visually appearing.

Hold f4 when in 3rd person and use num pad +/- to go up and down and arrow keys to move left and right

@RumblerGaming 2 ай бұрын

@@Brandon-bd8fk yeah I know that but, for me it caps out at the front of the ship unless i'm maybe just doing something wrong, if you know what I mean? push up arrow, then it drops before the nose of the ship, then if you go above or below the cockpit and pull hard enough you can see the ship

@@RumblerGaming i got you bro: in game settings set global camera shake to 0 and deactivate camera spring movement. This will achieve the effect you’re looking for.

Greetings, I fly my 400i as my go to for almost everything I do (Mostly bunker missions) and when I got it, I thought I was gonna rip off it's nose at 1st but I got used to it quite a lot. Now I'm always landing in Cinematic ways with it. Once you know how to gage it's nose, it's a piece of cake.

I am not a fan of using vtol in station hangars, i am torn tho because it has gravity but still seems silly somehow.

@ph11p3540 2 ай бұрын

I believe all these pilots failed because I am a perfectionist and no one is prefect. Even I fail no matter how smooth and properly executed my landing is.
