Star Citizen - Atmospheric re-entry, planetary landing, space station landing

[@j.d.4697]

Origin ships are the best for cruising around, even the 1-seaters.

[@sammygoris]

They’re cool, but I wish I could access the cargo bay from the cabin. I prefer the Titan avenger for that reason, that I can access the aircraft either by the flight deck or by the cargo ramp.

If I’m correct was at the end that your base and you went on a desert 🏜️ planet? Nice ❤

[@sammygoris]

Yep! That’s correct! The planet is actually very cold, some parts are ok but most of it is too cold to survive so you need the right gear. When I was landing, it was during a snow storm. The space station where I landed in the end is where I’m based. I used to prefer being based on a planet but it takes a lot longer to fly through the planets atmosphere than just going to the space station too

@@sammygoris yeah I understand

[@kevinpittman2517]

is this on a test server? cause i never see rentry burn when i am playing in the PU

[@sammygoris]

Nah just standard servers. I don’t always get the re-entry burn, I just noticed it when I filmed too!

Good afternoon, Sammy. I hope you are fine. I would like to ask you one thing, I have seen the old highlights of FSR (Formula Sim Racing) 2012/2013, where they have used a couple of your songs, and from all the songs they used, there are 3 that I can't find in any way and that are very good, Suné, Sustain Bliss and A Grandma's Shoe. They are songs that have hooked me a lot and that I want to listen the full version. Please, can you tell me how to find the songs, or could you send me an MP3 of the songs? I just want them for personal use to listen them while I'm driving. I look forward to hearing from you, thank you very much for your time. Likewise, I tried to contact you through Instagram, Facebook, KZbin, but I have not been lucky enough to receive a reply from you, please could you help me? Many thanks, have a nice day.

too bad reentry doesnt affect anything rn (theres no heat, i think only the avenger has the visuals for it.

[@sammygoris]

Yeah I know! The sound design is kind of weird, some things sound great (like hangar doors opening and closing, sand/snow storms), but the ships and travelling sound average. Like I wish there was more shaking and rattling, when first starting the engines.

[@noodle_Cx]

@@sammygoris Elite dangerous does it almost flawlessly, playing it in VR is the most immersive thing i've ever played, too bad onfoot/odyssey gameplay isnt VR. Would be sick af if Squadron 42 had a vr mode later down the line

[@sammygoris]

@@noodle_Cx well the biggest thing I think that dates (and puts off for me) is how you can’t board and explore your ship. The fact that you press a button and suddenly you’re in the flight deck! But I did find their sound design to be very good too. Another thing I would like would be to have a slightly more complex start procedure. I’m a pilot and the fact that you turn the ship on with one button seems slightly too Arcady! Doesn’t need to be super amazing, but just things like turning on the battery, the generators, the various systems (life support etc), then starting the fuel pumps and then starting up the engines.

[@noodle_Cx]

@@sammygoris I believe star citizen is trying to be more on the "arcadey" side of "space sim" compared to other flight sim games anyway, otherwise nobody would play since it's an mmo, it needs to be somewhat accessible for a wider audience. Who knows, maybe S42 will have more detail in controls and physical buttons?

[@sammygoris]

@@noodle_Cx Yeah I get that, but I think the thing is, 'arcade' to 'simulator' is not an on/off switch. There is middle ground there. That's where I think, we don't need to it be an ultra-realistic sim, but equally, the fun part of watching movies about space etc is the hype and build up of a ship turning on, so I think even if the start up was just a 5-step process, it can still be pretty quick and arcady, but just with touch of extra detail in the ships. I mean, they also allude to having dedicated mechanic and technician roles in ships as they make space for them in the ships we're seeing, so who knows. But yeah, I guess S42 is a lot closer to roll out so we might find out then!

[@Dare2b773]

What ship is that?

[@anttihal91]

Origin 300i. I own 315P it has traction beam on nose.

[@daproximus7833]

Origin 300 Series. this is the base-model 300i(white), than you have the 315p as the exploration version(black and yellow) The 325A as the interceptor(black red) And the 350R as the race version( black yellow)
