We already have that with some orgs and missiles and bombs. They'll have their fighter/bombers, and then a logi ship with a cargo hold of ordinance to rearm them landed a little outside the combat zone so the fighters only have to make a short trip rather than all the way back to a base. Imagine that but also with heavy-duty repair guns (mech-mounted?), spare components and ammo crates as well. A smart team with good logi could be in a fight WAY longer than a bunch of hooligans' without support.

if i interpret CIG correctly engineering and other mechanics like personal health are supposed to be balanced in a way that they dont end up being a tedious job you have to do nonstop to survive, but rather a way to extend your life in the verse as without those mechanics your character/ship would die much sooner. Meaning theyre not supposed to be gameloops to keep you occupied, but rather gameloops to extend your gameplay without the need to resapwn, making death of a spaceman more viable in a complex game like this. I could be wrong and its probably also intended as a balancing pass for small and large ships/ solo crews and multi crews alike, but i think their main goal is to make dieing less common without making the game/ hits you need to take to go down unrealistic.

I think the main concern with engineering for myself has less to do with engineering and more so to do with the fact that through virtue of mission payouts being split between party members solo play drastically outpaces in most game loops you can do with a group. I imagine its going to be just as hard to get other players to crew aboard your ship as it is now in most instances. I think a payout system for missions should consist of giving lets say 4 party members the same pay for basic tier missions and only if they're over the recommended party size only then do they take a major hit to rep and credits for mission time. If the mission is hard enough to justify that recommended party size being upped they can do that on a case by case basis. adding one additional person to a party doesn't double your mission speed, adding 4 doesn't quarter it. Realistically If you just bump mission payouts to enable co-op play you'd still have the problem that solo is still the best way to go hands down. Credit rewards for completing missions relative to their difficulty is always going to have a soft cap on it to prevent overtly expeditious grind. Having a system akin to what i've proposed allows for a more reasonable truncation of rewards in such a way that still allows them to be rewarding. I personally think engineering gameplay is super essential however for even a modest sized ship like the corsair even modest damage to your ship can cost you 100's of thousands of credits. Couple that with the fact that the cost of repair can be so high you may just not ever use a multicrew ship for 90% of the games content. You can quickly run into the red while crewing a ship like the corsair.

Star Citizen needs little time sinks for when traveling through quantum space: Similar to how Sea of Thieves have little time sinks while sailing (steering the ship, adjusting the mast, etc.) This is especially important for space trucking. Unlike in real trucking or trucking sims, there is no road to follow and no cars (obstacles) to avoid. Not to mention there's no unique vistas to gawk at, and no atmospherics to chill to; it's all just space + the quantum travel effects the entire way through. Space trucking, by its nature, has way less gameplay and visuals than normal trucking. So Star Citizen has to fill the void somehow. Otherwise, cargo hauling will be less about being a space trucker and is instead going to be more about being a hangar box mover. Engineering gameplay could be a big step towards this direction. Adding gameplay to the space travel part of the space game.

In fact, the only "controversy" I see, at least for me is, how can this system make sense and have meaningfull impact when MM basically over-rules and negate any depth component and ship performance could bring to the game?

Time sink will not be a problem when the game gets to the point of actually doing something meaningful. Right now all the tasks are full of emptiness and a wipe is always around the corner so players are concerned about time sync. However when you fly to a planet to do a set amount of tasks with friends for the afternoon it will feel much more rewarding. I AM worried about the payout of group tasks. I hope that they pay better with more people involved to incentivise group play. I am not sure how they will regulate this tho and build it into the game. It will be a challenge.

So a serious question.... CIG took away ship storage and many cargo boxes cant be loaded on many smaller ships to store components in. In addition there are many ships that you cant pull components out to replace. Im still not believing CIG has yet thought it all out.

This better not be as annoying as having to eat and drink. We should be able to use all components for a while before they break or need repair. If every single time I use my ship a component breaks I’m going to be pissed as hell

thats where i want this to go near the 12 min mark. find a derelict in space fix it up have crew fly it back or even upgrade your ingame ship then land it and license it or claim it as your own maybe not with full insurance like bought with real money aka your starter ship and or ones bought at the koisk. but have a copy of that ship that has limited insurance or higher costing insurance. OR have it long as you can keep it repaired

Engineering sounds interesting, but I think CIG just needs to be careful not to make it too extreme. I don't want to spend more time fixing my ship than flying it.
@jadedmedic962 ай бұрын
I think engineering will be great. The only people it will tick off the most is those that have dropped $500+ on a large/capitol ship that will have a much harder time solo'ing the ship.

You can tell the Star Trek fans vs the Star Wars fans on this issue. Star Trek fans want the fantasy of being Scotty or La Forge down in main engineering rerouting power. Star Wars fans just want to get in their ship and start blasting.

Problem - CIG's ideas about "soon" and "short amount of time" are NOT the same as the communities. Dying of thirst or hunger appears to be a real threat, and quite a bit faster than real life. Our components will no doubt need repair after 1 flight.

Our org see this as a reason NOT to fly multicrew ships in the future. To do anything you will first have to find and purchase a bunch of spare parts (likely fly around the system to the different shops), then manually move them onto your ship and stow them somewhere taking up valuable space and loads of time. Then if you still have time to play the game, have to deal with random parts getting old whilst we are just trying to fly the ship somewhere... its fast becoming more and more nitche this game, soon there will be such a small potential player base that you will need to pay $100 month subscription to support the game post go live... I used to love the indy side of the game, then came the 'cargo tedium' changes that killed hauling, now with this it will be much easier and more time efficient to just fly around and gank people than doing the more interesting game loops.

This is CIG, next you'll have to file a flight plan. Load and fuel the ship yourself. Preform a preflight inspection. Have customs inspect your ship for departure. Wait for clearance to takeoff. Crash into an invisible hangar door. Then take the tram back to the spaceport to do it all over again.
