Inside Star Citizen: Meet the Team - Weapon Content

Nice to see Daniel Radcliffe’s doppelgänger going up in the world!

[@MrCjspeedy1981]

This was my thoughts exactly. I had to take a double look. Maybe it's his brother

[@coolgyownsyou]

[@xXE4GLEyEXx]

I love the guns of the verse. Some of the animations, interactions with them is really cool.

It's just a shame the people design the FPS gameplay are pushing to make it so generic and dull.

Tallin Hogan looks like the bearded adult nerd version of harry potter. Or maby its just the round glasses. He looks cool nontheless.

[@WrangleMcDangle]

nice poem

[@Falcoriders]

With the different changes made on weapons over the years, I don't have one consistent favorite. However, with 3.23, the S71 was brought from "useless" to a really nice DMR. Fun to use, powerful, reliable. Really good job on this one particularly weapon team!

[@MercenaryZack]

Harry Potter joined CIG? Games gonna be magical now. Also nice Rambo 2 Reference at the end there!

[@HK94]

Nice, was waiting for this ISC all week... now I'm excited for the next 3 eps. More and longer SC content is always better.

[@Rasc0117]

Behring Applied Technology is my favorite weapons manufacturer in Star Citizen! My inventory for guns is full of Behring guns only, from the P8-SC, P6-LR, FS-9, BR-2, S-38, P4-AR, I dozens of them for each gun! I just can't stop picking them up whenever I do bunker missions. I can't wait for the P8-AR, I fell in love with the weapon at first sight during last year's CitizenCon!

[@fishy67chevelle]

Love the P8-SC and the Demeco MG. And I'm pretty sure you guys read my multiple posts on Spectrum and made a purple Coda pistol. You guys rock!

[@JonBergacs]

Demeco LMG is by far my favorite weapon. Good sound, great feel, great damage and range and overall just awesome.

[@pppship]

Love the LS-9 definitely my favorite gun, the size of mags and damage balance is so nice for bunker clearing.

[@megaohms1142]

Nice to see more VOLTs, the weapons content teams work and other new weapons. Well done.

[@habinerosauce]

We also need those mines at those caterpillars to be something thst players can place. Solo cargo runners could hire guns… OR… they could deck their ship out with anti personal safeguards like mines, traps, and other things. Make a turret that fits in a 1 scu spot, auto or even personal

[@Tycho-UEE]

Love the FPS weapons in Star Citizen and to see all this upcoming stuff is just more hype fluid for the hype fire of Pyro. Gib standard-issue UEE P8! Can't wait!

[@silus73]

All the Pyro guns should jam and misfire very often, but in turn be resistant to the solar flare.

[@Recsy]

All guns do that, but the developers notched them down a bit or entirely removed it since those who aren't aware of this are complaining that those are bugs on the game....

[@silus73]

@Recsy yes but I meant the manufactured weapons should work reliably for the most part, while those piecemeal weapons should fail from the poor quality alone on top of the ware and tare.

[@dennisthehazarddb1095]

I like the Gemini Styleguide. Very Beatiful Weapons.!!

[@hugolisoiryoutube]

Rambo Pico 😍

[@NineKeysDown]

Love the format change. Also the Arc Light Pistol is the best IMHO

[@jonathan4824]

I used to have a favorite gun, but then they made the Galant burst fire only and haven't found anything to replace it yet

weapons are something I've been wondering about as there doesn't feel like a 'universe' selection of guns let alone a planet selection of guns, would be nice if there was an update that releases like dozens of variants, calibers, manufactures and homebrew guns/modifications.. separating rounds from mags so it's not just 'p4ar' mags that're magically full and artificially depleted, maybe having to refill them allowing them to be crafted and used for multiple weapons that use the same ammo type, then refilled in mags through some animation or autoloader machine in bases for e.g..

[@Magtaius]

The P8-SC is *chef's kiss*.

[@Noidhole88]

Gallant rifle is my absolute favorite. I have about 100 of them!

[@IconoclastMark]

I love the Coda and the LH86, but I want something kind of in between, a high power but not revolver pistol! Those are my go-tos. :)

[@gamerbierjunk7604]

[@SomeGuy-sz1by]

Oh man, I want all of these yesterday. I am a sucker for a bow in a game. Crossbow will do for now though.

[@JonatanE]

can't wait for the P8AR, I was hoping for some form of estimated release date on it

[@AlphaCitizen]

P4 AR. My best rifle since 2945.

[@Citizen_Slambo]

Would looooove to see a single shot, ramshackle, rpg with different ammo types (HE/AP/AA) that could hang off the grenade slots on armor. Explosive x bow ammo will def do the trick though. Tyty

[@redace3928]

Well the polish aint there obviously, there is no where near as many servers or workers, MMO customer service replies in the week not the next month (concierge btw), not as many quests, can't join guilds, no raids, lucky to have 1 event at a time and more. I like the game but there is no doubt it's under bad development with poor future planning and a great neglect to stability. If a few dupers ruined the servers then that goes to show how cheap the servers are and wont handle a PTU long term without wipes most likely. Also how do dupers vehicles stay but if you crash in space, go to salvage it, it's disappeared? Priorities right guys? "oh but I found a water bottle in a cave this one time", have heard this before and if junk in a video game gets you excited but you're fine with the servers crashing every 30-60 minutes you're a twat waffle.

The Crossbow looks insane, can't wait!

[@AdmiralMatticusSC]

Completely agree. The crossbow looks great animation wise, but the sound should definitely emphasize that it's a crossbow and different from traditional weapons... give me that arrow whistle and draw string sound! The sound is the same from one of the shotguns, though, so I'm hoping it's just an early view as the sneak peek at the end already sounded better than the actual clip.

Once you equip a gun, the game really shines. Props to the team! The Shooting, Aiming and Reloading just feels so nice, snappy and responsive. But if you are not, its really, really bad. Sprinting feels like ice-skating and the transitions are soo so bad, atrocious and glitchy. I really do hope you have a similar team just working on FPS movement mechanics to fix that for Squadron42 and eventually backport it to SC. Can we have what you did for EVA for prone-position? I also feel like the original Concept of how helmets and HUDs should feel like, that you shown back in 2013 as the goal, was like got completely lost. Breathing against visor, Reflections, when? Showing helmet interiors, when? I also still feel like raising the arms so unnaturally and having your characters default always be the ready stance instead of and not even having a hip stance was the wrong call. Nor a stance with one free arm and the weapon at your chest, why? You're not CoD. Be like ARMA. You are ARMA in Space for crying out loud. Also, why do we have chicken heads as players now? Without any head-bob at all? At some point you had the best of both world where your eyes/camera would lock on to what is in front of you and compensate that way. Do not remove headbob artificially! Especially since the weapons are not visible at all currently there's no indication or weight while running nor while walking. You only have two options to communicate to the player that the character is sprinting and how. Through the weapon animation, (well that's gone) or through camera shake aka head-bob. Now you have neither!? What's the plan here? What was the reasoning here? I know you never look at youtube comments, or Spectrum so yeah talking to a wall rn, just wanted to get that of my chest.

[@hagebuddencreme]

Preach!

[@EnigMK3]

I really, really hate that the team decided to push back the pledge item recovery feature until next year. I really feel like CIG stopped caring about the existing money invested and only care about new ship sales. I feel left behind as a backer. It's that toxic mentality: "It's not what have you done for me, it's what have you done for me lately."

[@Fractal379]

And that, is the problem with feelings, feelings, feelings. They're valid in your percieved reality, ofc. I feel that there are so many other games that I'm not bothered when its ready. Meanwwhile, I play when I feel like it.

One day will have city exploration on foot/ with ground vehicle? Like walk/drive on streets of Area 18. (In StarCitizen and Squadron 42).

[@anon4662]

yes we will, we already know that Terra Prime (The Capital of Terra 3) is build from the ground with the intention to be fully explorable on foot, it has been shown years ago already and hopefully will make its way in the game soon after Pyro, we also know that all interiors for New Babbage are very far along so close to fully explorable. Idk about Arc Corp since it would be hard to traverse that mess on foot, but only the future will tell. In short it is planed for most Cities and all new Cities are build with that in mind

[@mattl7854]

Looking good. One suggestion on the crossbow; two of the main advantages of a crossbow are armor penetration and complete silence/stealth. Hopefully it's supper effective at penetrating armor, but I noticed it has a loud (comparatively loud compared to a real crossbow) electrical sound when firing. My suggestion is to remove that firing sound and at maximum have a little bit of twang from the bowstring. Make it truly stealth.

[@amiththomas3884]

If it's a powerful weapon, I'd rather it have an audible sound. It's more realistic to not have whisper quiet weapons anyway.

[@alexparris7769]

I would expect that the audio effects team hasn’t had a go with the crossbow yet seeing as they are all downstream of this team and the crossbow is not ready for downstream until they sort the bolt issue. If you listen, it is the exact same sound as the atzkav sniper rifle. Bet that is just a copy pasta of the audio file so it had some audible feedback for the video

[@Roboticus_Prime_RC]

Hey! You guys should have Aleksei give some ideas for medical gameplay! I'd be down for more traditional firearms, too. Like Lever actions, break actions, and single action revolvers. When you're lost in space, reliability is key! Also the 1911 would still be around! lol
