ATLS is $35 so Titan Suits can sell for $90 😄

[@Mace1000S]

I’ll buy in game. I’m not gonna pay $35 for it. I’m definitely not gonna pay 90 for it. CIG has gotten all the money they’re going to get for me. I spent too much with them. It feels like we have paid to teach CIG how to make a game and they still don’t really get it. By now they all should have had doctorate degree in making computer games. Plus paying for a game nobody pledged for. That itself was borderline crooked.

Sounds good to me!

[@LarsBahner]

The multi tool tractor beam was always said to be way too powerful, but that they left it in as that to make us have some fun with it. Like giving the kids the keys to the farm tractor and see what mischief ensues 😅

[@CallMeTeach2]

Only problem is no one looks back to when that original comment was made. No one looks back at the original dream and scope of what CR is trying to achieve. They all just look at what's in front of them right now. It's like those JG Wentworth commercials. "It's MY MONEY, and I want it NOW!!!"

Thank you SaltEMike, I LOVE WEEK IN REVIEW ITS VERY CONSUMABLE

[@wotterthose4511]

It's completely unreasonable to not have the ATLS available for in-game purchase in live immediately for "the cargo patch" imo.

[@hamiltonbrown9591]

Isn’t everything sold not available in game until the next patch historically. That’s not anything new. Nor is selling an LTI token or something related to new gameplay when it comes out. People are just in a mood every year before citizen con and go down rabbit holes. Literally nothing is new with how the ATLS was handled. People just want it. It will be buyable in game by the next major patch or sooner.

[@strategygalactic]

Dont split infinitives.

"Keep focusing on the shiny patch notes for the systems we broke, when we should've focused on more important thing. This will prevent you for asking questions about the lack of real progress (new features) and instead will keep you reaching for your wallet to keep providing us no incentive to change. Thank you" BTW. It's working.

[@VonSpud]

Been stable lately...very nice. Great stream. Always look forward to Week in Review.

[@JFrombaugh]

The saddest thing is, SC was at one point very much an indie game like NMS or BG3, but now, with the amount of money they've raised & the number of offices they've opened, I would argue that CIG has become just as AAA as any of the other major studios we know & hate. And it's made even worse by the fact that they're still acting like they're the same company they were before, even as they're guilty of doing the same sort of cash grab stuff that we hate those so-called AAA studios for doing in the first place.

[@TecHippy]

[@hamiltonbrown9591]

I’m trying to understand why people are so angry. What’s the difference between selling the ATLS that solves an issue and any other ground vehicle. I hear people talking about they created a problem. That’s weird to me since they were always creating cargo gameplay. Is there going to be uproar when something involved with hacking gameplay gets sold? I don’t get all the outrage other than normal outrage right before citizen con. Please explain if you don’t mind.

[@nikelon8227]

@@hamiltonbrown9591 Tractor beams got nerfed to implement ATLS to the point were one handed tractor beam has maximum lift capacity of 8SCU, two handed can lift 16 SCU, to lift 32SCU box you need either: 4 people with small tractor beams, 2 people with 2 handed tractor beams, any vehicle with tractor beam that is awkward AF to use or their new, fresh paid solution to the problem they've created, the mighty ATLS that costs as much as a starter ship+game package.

[@hamiltonbrown9591]

@@nikelon8227 I hear but they refactored all cargo gameplay so I’m not understanding. Were people expecting it not to change. Seems like everything makes since. It’s a loader. It’s supposed to be better. Biggest box you need a loader or ship tractor. Logically it’s a weird thing to be made about. Just request boxes in your size class. Everything gets or will get rebalanced. Sounds like the real issue is people don’t want to pay 35. But this ship literally can get you a half off Carrack if used as a LTI Token. Which is good. No one is forced to buy it and it will be able to be paid for in game probably next major patch like everything before. It’s made up outrage and folks who are mad seem to be flocking for validation of there pain. But in reality it’s seem like a silly thing to be upset about. They come out with a cargo refactor and everyone is trying to use the refsctor part as a negative just because a cool auto loader comes out and it’s “surprise” for sale. Shouldn’t be a surprise. They always come out with something to sell for every new gameplay. Same things going to happen when hacking comes out or whatever.

[@journeyingjen7554]

Why do we even need hand/atls/ship tractor beams in hangars? These are safe un/loading locations and should provide wall-mounted tractor beams for any ship that needs it. The ATLS should only be "useful" out in the field.

There's still a bug at new Babbage where it's not registering recycled material at the TDD office and I have a message on the front of the screen every time I jump into any of my ships saying that I have undeposited cargo and if I leave the area it will fail. Hower it won't go away.

If atls suit would go for 5 bucks, me and my entire group of 17 friends would buy it (yes, we talked about it on discord), that would be 85 bucks to CIG from us. Because they overpriced it, they will get nothing from us.

[@Zombiesmoker]

3 other ppl who buy it for 35 each will compensate that, so i dont think they care.

[@PavelKahun]

@@Zombiesmoker Dude. Yeah, it was only us who got discouraged from buying it by the high price, no one else.🤦 My argument is, that if they would make it actual microtransaction for 5€, they would make far more money. But only few people will pay 35€, almost price of games like Helldivers 2, or price of discounted AAA game, for a gimmick vehicle with little practical use in game. In other words, 100 000 5€ transactions >1000 35€ transactions.

I am wondering if they had the meshing guys working since the last test on the new queuing system. One of my major complaints is that SC has such a small team working on server tech that they can only work on one back end thing at a time.

[@GRIZEH]

@@strategygalactic Show proof then :) Every stream that was live had issues.

[@frogger2011ify]

Never once lol. Their whole idea isn't possible on the scale they want. Every server being an individual entity means every server has to communicate to each other, to each client and to the replication server. This is going to cause massive desync without time dilation. Without loading screens you cannot do time dilation unless you do it on a entire cluster this means that the whole pkg of servers slows to a crawl if one of them does. The whole practical reason they want to do it the way they are is to save server costs. The reason no one else has done it this way is the amount of infrastructure required to develop it will not be covered by the savings as servers get cheaper to run every year as technology improves. They could have had back end server meshing from Amazon but they don't want to pay for it and also didn't want to profit share for it.

[@FieldHoodGaming]

Its not the RMQ, its now the power supplies on the server racks

[@AnubisG0D]

Maybe Soulsinger is what Ep2 is called after Squadron 42; they can't really call it Squadron 42 2/part 2. Since they stated long ago it's supposed to be a trilogy maybe they are simply future proofing ahead of time.

[@frogger2011ify]

Lol no

Pretty sure they can call it Sq42: Pt 2 as long as they have the willpower to write it down. I don't know what else could possibly get in their way

It could be a lot of things, but it feels like a new game. Possibly something to generate revenue, like a mobile game, because they feel the community funding well is drying up.

[@DustinHarms]

As always, I'm really glad you stick to your guns with the funding stuff. Even putting your money where your mouth is by buying JUST skins. I don't think enough of the community will follow suit to make CIG reconsider the future of their funding model, unfortunately, but it gives me some hope when seeing popular content creators at least *try* to set an example.

[@frogger2011ify]

They are stuck with this funding model as they sold us access to the game with the game pkg they cannot legally start requiring a monthly subscription

[@DustinHarms]

​@@frogger2011ify Never said anything about a subscription (which, just FYI, they could legally turn into a "premium" access subscription like other games have done if they wanted....not that it would be a good idea). Not sure if you've just never watched Mike or what, but I'm on the same page as him when it comes to selling skins (they absolutely could/should build a skin system into the game), cosmetics (like decor), and inconsequential accoutrements. There is nothing legally requiring them to continue selling ships, guns, armor, land claims, etc. that all have real in-game consequences. Especially when they're now backed into a corner for selling guns and armor for real money and trying to figure out how to both make sure players can never lose those items but also not create an unlimited-item loop in their game. Same with the ships. No, they are definitively NOT stuck with this funding model.

Appreciate your perspective on the Atls cost. Creating a problem to sell a solution is a perfect way to put it. Especially since they couldn’t get trolleys ready for 3.24. The Atls should have been free or purchasable in game on launch day to make the cargo patch more enjoyable. I’ve lost so much faith in the SC community at large with the number of people defending them over the way they handled the Atls.

[@wdipuccio]

Thanks for another great review video. I know it doesn't feel like there have been a ton of wins this past year, but I am super excited for citizen con this year. I backed for Star Citizen, but at this point I'm just looking for any sci-fi experience with the level of graphical fidelity and detail that CIG is capable of, so I find myself more looking forward to SQ42 since it is the deliverable product that is closest to being in a playable state. Also very curious about what soul singer is. It would be kinda cool if they were publishing a game made by another studio that used their engine to make a game. It would be a good revenue stream to keep the company in good health without needing us to keep opening our wallets. I guess we'll find out at cit con. Or we won't.

You also cant upgrade to the ATLS, I have an Aurora MR SQ+PU pack I would have just added the extra 10 bucks to get it - the MR just collects dust and I have Zeus CL coming, would have just fit my stuff real nice

[@MrBenjaminRhoades]

Good video, Mike. I understand and agree with your complaint about the CL, but saying that it's not useful as a hauler is a bit of a stretch, no? Even if you don't use the second layer of cargo and you're missing out on 24 SCU of potential space, that still leaves 104 SCU to work with. That's slightly more than a RAFT. And the size of the CL means that you can fit any size box, including two 32 SCU boxes, making it superior to the Hull A in that regard. I would agree that it was "sold" as being able to carry 128 SCU, and it looks like that configuration might be challenging to achieve (though we'll see once it's in our hands), but wanted to push back (a little) at what I see as more hyperbole.

[@SaltEMike]

I will not be using it over other ships in its class.

[@MrBenjaminRhoades]

@@SaltEMike Like what, exactly? What are you comparing it to? It's got more cargo than the Spirit and Freelancer Max, and it's the same size. The next highest would be the Constellation series, which are bigger and more expensive ships, and who knows what they'll look like after they get reworked. Again, no shade on you if you don't want to use it, but it's hyperbole to say it's useless as a cargo ship, especially compared to other ships in it's size category. It might not be the perfect cargo hauler, but it stacks up well to existing ships.

Power management seems more of a co polit thing. Little hard to do while solo combat

[@honordevs]

I think swapping weapon groups matters for PvPvE. You can use lasers for PvE and swap to a single or dual ballistic setup for players. Obviously you won't have the same damage output as a player who is full ballistic, but you won't need to compromise and you'll be able to kill the player more efficiently if you're a better pilot.

[@ScottZupek]

CIG is exactly "Creating a problem to sell a solution". You can't really (you can obviously do whatever you want) support the game if you don't support that model because they are 1 and the same.

[@Darksoull.]

I usually defend CIG's funding model. I think people should be responsible for their own spending habits. BUT, this time I'm a bit pissed with the whole ATLS suit, and not because of its price or that they are selling it. I'm not impressed that they already sold a vehicle specifically designed to move boxes around (the mule). They sold the mule to people and said it doesn't work yet. Everyone said ok we understand, with the assumption that when the cargo / box moving mechanics were implemented in the game the mule would work. Instead CIG designed and built an entirely new vehicle and built and implemented the box moving mechanics, and did nothing about fixing the mule so it would also work. Effectively saying to those who paid money for a mule, yea we know it still doesn't work, but hey you can buy this brand new vehicle and that one works. I think CIG should have never released the mech suit, without also making the mule, (a vehicle they sold for the specific purpose of moving cargo boxes around), work. I would have had no issues or problems if they said hey we made this awesome mech suit to move boxes, and also we added the mew mechanics to the mule and that works now too ..... have fun. Poor form CIG, just really poor form.

GSC is set to release Stalker 2 in November after 14 years in development. While similar development time to CIG, GSC was based out of Ukraine. The S2 team has been able to put out a game while waging war.

[@Empty12345]

- GSC didn't have to crowdfund their game because they had a full development team from the start. - The war only has affected them these past couple of years. - Squadron 42 will most likely be a finished product.

[@CowBeatsCrow]

The two are nowhere near comparison. Stalker 2 isn't even shipping with multiplayer, whereas Star Citizen is creating a pretty complex MMORPG "simulation" game. MMORPG's are already among the harder types of games to create and they're taking that to the extreme, making a game that really hasn't been made before, with tech that they have to make from scratch. I'm definitely excited for Stalker 2, but the two games are just in different leagues.

I know all these MFD changes are amazing, but you said something that kind of confused me. This originally happened when I was in your chat during the ISC reaction and you made a comment about how the guns shot faster, but again I hear that get brought up and it just makes me think. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the power triangle does currently change the way components of your ship work. If you set it to full on any of the specific corners, the ratios change. So full power to shields lowers the recharge time. Full power to weapons changes the capacitor.... capacity, and full power to thrusters lowers the charge time on your boost. Now I understand that the upcoming changes make this even more in-depth, but it sounded like you said that these things just weren't in game at all when they are, so I got confused. Do you not use your power triangle, @saltemike? lol If not, that's totally cool, but yeah. I think seeing more capability in the adjustment and allocation of power in a ship is so awesome and I'm excited to see where things end up.

Seems like the Argo + Inventory changes has spent the whole year just bug fixes that alone. Was this the best use of their dwindling resources (cash) no, but they are only there to make sure you keep your hopes and dreams so they can have your money.

elite dangerous is strong in this one

In AC my HOTAS only goes one direction now, anybody else with this problem?

[@jamesschmames6416]

While they should provide default MFD, it seems to me this should ultimately be in player control. Allow access to ship stats and functions. I'm positive the community can come up with better stuff. Allow for uploading of html templates or possibly a mod store like steam workshop. But even if you don't want to allow that level of customization in game it should be available for people who want to run custom MFD on tablets and second screens.

[@strategygalactic]

I disagree with you.

You can see drake's radar easily with the consistently dark background, every other radar is pretty terrible. Other than that, the new ui elements are a big improvement. I hope power distribution has presets.

SaltEMike, is the Jump Point Magazine still a thing?

[@Funkiyy]

If they want to properly test server meshing they have to have these things run on a test server for a month. having short small few hour time frames where a lot of us can't join to help the test doesn't sound logical.

[@frogger2011ify]

They haven't done that because it's broken as fuck and they know it

[@morganlefay-k4c]

They should do in baby steps with logging like , start with 100 players max count and increase with 25-50 every hour so that there will not be 1k players logging at the sane time. Or make a logging que to slow down how much players can join at the same time, it was clearly a problem with 500k and 1k players count when all of them join at the same time.

[@archendvisuals1839]

@@frogger2011ify Yeah that's my gut feeling too. It's nowhere near where it should be and they know it. The copium on reddit was insane. I watched Olli43 try to get to his ship and it took him 4.5 hours. Not sure how that has any positives in it...
