The things infrequent and returning players should know Star Citizen Alpha 3.24.2

[@TheRealFreakaros]

The most imporant change for me as a multicrew enjoyer is that its now possible for the Copilot to fiddle with the power settings in the Power Management MFD. This adds a new nice layer of depth to multicrew that is just exceeded by the ability of the copilot of the Zeus to actually fly the zeus. (a thing that i just know from the carrack's observer spot)

[@karmabad6287]

Zeus copilot being able to fly the ship is a welcome change. One, we will hopefully see more of going forward.

[@fupu57]

One criticism about the power management MFD is the horizontal scroll bar.

[@dpawtows]

Agreed

[@SilverTurtle89]

MFD for power management looks interesting, hope everyone enjoys citizencon

[@El-Gordo]

Thanks for trimming it down to just what has changed. The new power management screen will take some time to get used to it, but it's certainly got more function than the triangle.

[@mattp1337]

Thanks for those keyboard shortcuts. Very useful to know. I'll be in the power allocation window a lot at first, I bet.

[@azadamw444]

Thank for the information on the MFDs signatures. I jumped onto the PTU today and was lost with the new MFDs.

[@jwonyoutube]

Hold alt Q for a few secs to select the Upper Left MFD cast (you'll need a flight or combat helmet to see the MFD cast), then you can press alt q or e to cycle through it just like the dashboard MFDs. Likewise holding alt E for a few secs selects the Upper Right MFD cast, then press alt q or e to cycle. They're really only useful right now for Self Status and Target Status.

[@MagicM03]

MFD for power management needs some adjustment as it wastes to much space. we could also use a screen that better shows the ships status, fuel/heat/cargo etc.

[@robertvohs1699]

the new power management setting on the mfd look interesting. it seems more in depth than i remember from starfield. thank you danny, safe travels to citcon

[@Ryecrash617]

I’m so glad we’re getting updated MFDs. The power management one is going to be a problem as I had the power triangle mapped to a little stick on my throttle.

[@Kyle-sr6jm]

I haven't been flying lately, but the new power management is going to take some time to love. Previously, I had power tied to hat toggles, which was fast and intuitive.

[@Kurisu2019]

I like the power triangle more than the new power management MFD HUD. It feels more natural by showing you the trade-offs

[@FredFenster]

It'll take some getting used to the new MFD for power management. I actually appreciated the button approach using F5, F6, & F7 for weapons, boost, and shields.

[@Biggerfoot]

Biggest point is nothing has changed it just looks different thats it.

[@Merciful_Angel]

That power management screen seems perfect for engineers and people who constantly tweak power in combat, while being another layer of complexity for those of us just trying to fly without hitting something.

[@JikAldemar]

I like the new power management system. It’s reminiscent of FTL, and it gives a feeling of scale to ships, where the old power triangle was the same no matter what you were flying.

[@arcadealchemist]

it's kinda smooth but the ES keeps clipping though the Hangar lift Haha "Ethnic styles" it has the meme haircut from every game with an ethnic dude in it . like every game ever

[@circuitguy9750]

I definitely like the tractor beam change. Much easier box power management, B key was weird.

[@JoelBondoux]

I happen to quite like the new Power Management screen. I know the triangle was easy to use, but I think we'll find this is far more useful in the long run.

[@spcrowe]

Power management MFD is a must have up

[@justsomewhitewolf]

i hope they take all the feedback into consideration and rework the power management page

[@PandaTheGray]

Power management MFD is fine if it stops resetting or removing pips from vital components when switching Master Modes.

[@SpaceMike3]

Safe journey to CitCon. Looking forward to your live streams

[@arcadealchemist]

1:30 this is a welcome change, no one uses aim down sights for moving boxes thats silly

[@Archmage9885]

Losing the triangle from the Power Management screen hurts, but hopefully getting used to the new system won't be too difficult.

[@erickruller4266]

Definitely will need to keep that power management MFD in an easy to see spot.

[@aaronpaul5990]

Well those mfd including the one for power management look neat ^^

[@Adam-vo6yl]

The new power management page looks good.

[@stormwolf3255]

I think they could have replaced the power management triangle with any other polygonal representation (e.g. pentagon) and people would have instinctively 'gotten' the change in line with the new requirements far better than a brick-stacking exercise.

[@joesgotmore]

Nice MFD for power management although the MFD's for speed and fuel should be larger and more visable in my opinion.

[@Verinia]

I will so be power management systeming my Zeus when I win it!

[@marvinmuller4003]

Power Management MFD was in my fortune cookie

[@Temprasphere]

I do kinda miss the simplicity of the power management triangle .. This might avoid the default meta and people will have to get creative! Keep up the great work!

[@planetwally]

The scrolling on the power management mfd is not a very intuitive design in my opinion, imagine scrolling while in a fight...

[@darkfae2002]

Was looking at the power management mfd and trying to figure out how to set it to limited joystick buttons....

[@siaa9992]

was the power signature indicator included in the old power management screen? i forget

[@SamLowry_DZ-015]

Have a good trip!

[@charlesz3phyr]

MFD for power management; have a good citcon!

[@morgandyoung]

I'm fine with power management blocks, could be useful

[@hilljonathon]

Going to need to get used to the new power management and assigning power to things from my joysticks

[@kelvinpetherbridge4089]

Mfd power management screen will be difficult to get use to mapping may be difficult

[@eric90000]

Really like the new MFDs and power management screen, but I am not looking forward to having to redo all of my controls lol.

[@cyspeth39]

I don't like the side scroll bar for the power management MFD, but if it can be mouse wheeled it should be fine

[@marcjensen9080]

Is this all configurable from the co-pilot seat yet? If I manage to get one of my gaming buddies in for a free fly event soon I might have them get familiar with the power management screen for some basic roaming before I tell them to get in the turret. 😏

[@jimmy5322hk]

The power management concept is from FTL.

[@darisanshanger1616]

lol you are such a good listen.. I so get your humor

[@3dVisualist]

Having signatures on the Power Management MFD is fine but please, for the love of Pico, make sure all bars fit on one screen, with NO side scrolling!

[@3769Chris]

I think I may miss the triangle. At least I have been playing Starfield and I am familiar with the power management interface.

[@michaelphillips3148]

Great Info!

[@FuzeeSC]

They might have given the MFD for power management some more work

[@citizen_brimstone3113]

Thanks Ray!

[@wildcard12983]

I’m looking forward to the new power management MFD I fly a firebird as my main fighter and I need to control my signature

[@Mike5Brown]

Kind of disappointed to hear that you can only see the signature in the power management MFD you would think that would be also under just general ship status.

[@Bob-jy6hm]

Power Management MFD displaying your own signature is practically pointless. Honestly for example in this video: IR: 26k, EM: 22k, crosssection: 11k. Does it answer? 1. On a scale of 0% to 100% for my ships hull + components, how is my ship performing? IR 26k means ... idle, normal, ... ? 2. On a scale of detectability, what does this mean to the world? Detection range km for radars S0, S1, S2, S3, ... ?

[@rocky258258]

what's essential is that Pyro isn't out yet

[@busterscruggs_sc]

The new MFDs seem really cumbersome to use, maybe I'll get used to it

[@gergenskits3940]

I don't know what I was hoping for in the MFDs. but THAT is not it. Maybe something more STNTG, these look like what I might have come up with in 8th grade. I really liked the Power Management triangle in Starlancer

[@mox9574]

Power management screen

[@TheGavric]

Danny has a detailed guide here. Nails the essentials. But lemme sum up 3.24.2 for you... They broke looting...in an MMO. The ship UI is inconsistent, broken in some ships, and terrible. The MFD and engineering gameplay has broken the ability to do anything efficiently in combat. 3.24.2 sucks. Come back in a year. Maybe they'll finish polishing the half-finished features they added in 2024.

[@Vipelez]

Power Management and other MFDs will take a while to get used to, unless you're a console player

[@Decompose_Corpse]

This game is PC only....what are you talking about..

[@Vipelez]

@@Decompose_Corpse you must be new here. Sandi said many years ago that she wanted star citizen on consoles, and latest changes to key binds and control mappings show that they're going in that direction.

[@Decompose_Corpse]

@Vipelez lmao never gonna happen you must be smoking that shit

[@Decompose_Corpse]

@Vipelez Lmao it'll never happen. SC cant even run correctly on pc after what 12 years? You gotta be smoking that shit brother.

[@Vipelez]

@@Decompose_Corpse kzbin.info/www/bejne/inu3ZoaVa5ipec0si=0OvjVe_Cd4xI-5i0 around minute 2

[@aderek79]

The loss of the triangle for power management seemed inevitable. If they add any more custom buttons this is going to be a two keyboard game.

[@RaysGuide]

Upcoming video will be on how I use a streamdeck...

[@Decompose_Corpse]

Bruh...I reeeaalllyy don't want to have to get one of these just for one game...as well as virpils and all that entails too

[@andrewfanner2245]

I've a nasty suspicion that the new MFDs will be virtually unusable for anyone without perfect eyesight.

[@MikePhilbin1966]

Personally, and I'm hearing more and more people empathise with my view, "This game has evolved into an absolute cluster-f**k of arbitrary i.e. conflicting, mechanics and features." It all needs DE-SIGN-ING.

[@bahdudejhosh_official]

Power Management. I’ve been at this giveaway thing for three years. I’m starting to give up bruv 😪

[@eparock]

power management mfd? i care more about being able to read essential combat info that currently and in this new iteration is hard if not impossible to read at times.

[@ILikeEiche]

Power management

[@jch1386]

I'm not sure I fully agree with the shift away from the triangle for Power Management, but having more information on MFDs is nice.

[@51ghardy]

I like the new MFDS, but they are going to be fumblely in combat. Those poor fighter pilots are going to cry big crocodile tears. The power management options are greatly increased.

[@SpaceDad42]

They need to chill with shoving black default characters down our throats. They will burn in flames like ubi soft if they don’t chill. Get woke, go broke.

[@heru_ur6017]

They are already woke af.

[@THEMALBINO]

All they need to know - sc is broken and more unbalanced then ever!

[@THEMALBINO]

If this character creation system has the most variations you have ever seen, you are probably ignorant. Shilling wont help this mess!

[@misstressscarlet]

Okay doomer.

[@RaysGuide]

Well I was talking about the hair. And both the variety and how it moves is quite good.
