WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT FROM IAE 2024? | STAR CITIZEN

[@drfreeze76]

Expect some ship sales for some really cool looking ships with great stats that will be “rebalanced” into oblivion after CIG has your money.

[@danielbalder]

100%. CIG pulling a Corsair.

[@alwayssearching4760]

Hey Chris roberts wife needs to buy a new human and they aren't cheap

[@Volf1916]

Every year like clockwork, plus all the "rebalancing" of ships that may be direct competitor to the new ships.

I expect the, more than usual, horrendous server loads that come with these events that turn everything into a slide show.

[@mikehoncho116]

The 600i rework was announced like 2 years ago. I'm turning mine into an arrastra this year. I feel pretty trolled.

[@toecutter9372]

yup! i pulled that trigger during Invictus. I don't really miss it either.

[@rory-red]

I have the 600i Touring and Explorer doesn't bother me hold on to them it's like holding on to my BMM.

[@mikehoncho116]

@@rory-red Well first, good for you. Second, origin ships on the whole are useless.

[@ytwetsu]

@@mikehoncho116 Origin ships may be useless to you and I have agree that currently most of them are. Once CIG get’s around to working on Origin ships again, I believe their role and usefulness (as you say) will return.

[@senn4237]

@@ytwetsu The problem being, it is not on the production schedule, and hasn't been talking about at all. So we are probably looking at 5+ years for the 600i rework and other Origin updates.

[@805Peej]

I fully expect Exe to say AIE instead of IAE xD I expect people's fleets to grow, but funding will still pace behind previous years. I don't think that the excitement will be there this year, as the Polaris has been covered to death by streamers already. Also, I am not getting the Intrepid. It seems to be a ship without a purpose or a good design. The Paladin will likely be OP since it is a new ship. However, since it's covered in turrets, it will be more forced multicrew gameplay and I won't purchase.

[@shadow7037932]

If the Anvil Paladin turns out to be a Carrack gunship variant to compete with the Perseus, the Pioneer might actually be outsold this year.

Sadly no Mirai Guardian.... Hope to see him for Christmas

[@bolla999999999]

I am geting the Intrepid as the Intrepid. I am genuenly more excited for it than I am the Polaris.

[@Accuracy158]

We could also get something on the show floor that isn't flyable or finished on the interior yet... Like the Polaris at Invictus this year. I wouldn't be surprised if more ships started to take that route just to increase sales / excitement a little.

[@DawnstealerGaming]

The Paladin will definitely be a gunship in the truest sense of the word, being EXACTLY like Shockwave from the Transformers - it'll just be a gigantic pistol that flies around. Book it.

[@CosmicTurtle13]

I prefer the Paladin to be a unique hull than a Carrack variant. I love the Carrack but it does not seem gunship to me. Bonus points if they make it into Anvils capital ship.

[@GreatWolfBalistic]

I think the sensible thing and for the sake of time just have modules set in designated spaces for the caterpillar.

[@cygnus6623]

Agree that the Intrpid is a smuggler or long distance light hauler. I think $75-80....like the Nomad.

[@gergenskits3940]

I'm getting the intrepid because I think it will be a very fun Role Play ship. maybe not the best it stats. but put a ranger in one cargo pod and a hoverbike in the other... fun fun fun

[@soeveth]

I hope the paladin is not a variant. But is the only new im interested in.

[@Agent-yc2ii]

The Anvil mystery ship probably has one variant straight to flyable and another in the holo- viewer not flyable.

[@Orginal_Sinner]

The paladin, cant wait to see it

[@shive7501]

I will totally be getting an Intrepid. Provided they do not go crazy with it's price.

[@JClif]

Quick question- can you purchase any ship at the end of IAE? Or are you limited to only purchasing ships on the exact days of the manufacturer?

[@Feokian]

You can buy any day from the day it goes available all the way until the end.

[@njasicko]

I have my Endeavor CCU from my Cat at the ready when they inevitably kill modulatory on it....

[@redsamurai6586]

For the Paladin since we been hearing it’s in both areas they could do what they did with the Polaris and just have the exterior done 😅

[@coolcooper1971]

Enough invested already ($3K in) not 1c will be spent until they start fixing the game.

[@shadow7037932]

I hope the Paladin is a Connie or maybe bit bigger than that.

[@AccidentalFriendlyFire]

Another benefit to more ship teams you guys haven't mentioned yet is increased ships that can be brought up to gold standard. :-)

[@wuxtry]

I think we will see an increase in Polaris price and people melting their fleets to get it, or the Paladin

[@natalyiatimoshenkova1273]

The Intrepid's a "nooo" for me. It's not the asymmetry, and it's not the firepower, it's the aft third of the ship. There's something just... wrong about it. That upper layer on the hull just doesn't work. At all. But with the gun upgrade, and the lovely interior, there's nothing "wrong" with it anymore - if you want a small starter and the aesthetics are your jam, then it should be OK. Caveat is that it better be a Cutter competitor, not a 300 series/Avenger competitor. Because it just isn't.

[@N0V-A42]

Looking forward to the BIS WB CCU's. I've got some chains built around those. Also need a Ballista WB CCU.

[@davewills6121]

Luv the purple theme this year, about time we had some more diverse minority colours. A purple Reclaimer, Oh: my

[@cicio7777]

CIG just announced all ships the Polaris will be the loaner for until they officially release!

[@NaishoTheNeko]

I am actually looking at the intrepid as a replacement for my 300i. If it is between 5 and 10 dollars increase, as far as I am concerned. It is a better ship experience.

[@synthetictv5340]

Could you please show us a Perseus chain? I'm at the Starlancer MAX, currently. Thanks!

[@Garflog643]

They litterally said at CitizenCon this year that the Guardian will come out this year, which pretty much means IAE unless 4.0 does launch in December and they release it then, which why then? Assuming its ready.

[@cicio7777]

Has anyone confirmed if the Polaris hanger refueling' rearming and repairing function is working ?

[@honeyspringshomestead1411]

I would love to expect the perseus to be a release, but I am holding my breath. Hopefully in 2025 we will see it.

No, the Perseus was only going to get worked on After the Polaris which is still not finished completely.

[@Sandgroper-WA]

How about a channel covering how progressively tired Execute is getting each day of IAE?

[@JL-rj9fl]

Thanks guys, always fun. Looking forward to the daily coverage. As far as ships go, the MISC Fortune has me most excited.

[@Tenjac]

I don't care for the outside of the Intrepid, but the inside is nice. However, I'm not sure it wins out over the 315p I've got, so I'm thinking it's a no from me.

[@davewills6121]

Plenty of new ships, and a good few more to come. Its going to be a great IAE, especially with all the rentable New Ships?

[@quasistellar]

Yeah it's been a rough year to be motivated to play/test at all. They've added tech, but no gameplay to provide that carrot on the stick for us to test, which also means less likely to spend money.

[@HelloStarCitizens]

@@quasistellar I logged in for the first time in about 6 months yesterday and I first couldn't get out of my room so I had to relog then I got to my hanger and called the MK2 but when it arrive the ship was dancing in circles on the floor. It just completely demotivated me to play further.

[@anidiot9831]

@@quasistellar They've also driven a great number of players away with their hamfisted console gameplay like Master Modes and the new Interaction Wheel.

[@grymrammsolkbyrt6203]

The intrepid is a ship I am interested in not for purchasing but wondering at this new interior level and design what the price point will sit at. For 45 it outcompetes the cutter but for 60+ its too close to the titan to make it worthwhile. Currently I have enough money in this game to melt my cutter, pulse and upgrade my nomad to a zeus cl with a skin, which I might do however, i just love the nomad too much!!. we shall see as 4.0 launches with the new system whether the nomad ends up going cos of the distance it can QT.

[@paulyskidda387]

[@jvoodoochild2755]

The CSV-SM might be the LTI token throughout this IAE. Though… With multiple characters mention at CitCon, starting chains with an Intrepid + Game Pack will be the best of three worlds LTI-1, Character Slot, and Warranty.

[@CraigPaschang]

Please don’t fall into the “character slot” trap. That is REALLY old information they haven’t spoken about, confirmed, or updated and I seriously doubt “character slots” will survive to 1.0 or beyond.

[@jvoodoochild2755]

@ “and speaking of synchronizing, when we have multiple characters…”. CitCon24 d1 full day video 2h54m30s The last time, that I am aware of, CIG mentions Possessing (Agent Smithing is the wrong term) is the 2020 AMA

[@jvoodoochild2755]

@ and a good service announcement is “Everything will change before and after launch, and no goal survives contact with development” We all have our risk aversion to any goals CIG states, no matter how old they are There is no need to pledge for anything more than a $45 starter package. Any pledging beyond that is guessing how much time or money one can save by getting it now, instead of later

[@BC-vv3ot]

The intrepid is fine, I just don’t think I need it as a pledge ship. Looking to have a salvage, mining, and fighting ship. The arrastra is tempting me but the Orion is so close in price I’m starting to understand girl math.

[@First_Chapter]

What do you reckon an Intrepid will cost in game? Around 700k aUEC like a Cutter or 1.3m-1.5m like an Avenger Titan or Nomad or 100 series?

[@BC-vv3ot]

@ I’d put it in between. Maybe a million. Seems like a fine starter ship. It doesn’t take much to beat the aurora though.

I cannot wait for the move to larger scale org fights. Like the battle of Vega. Also would love to see an Origin Medical ship.

So dissapointed with the dire ''Polaris pilot chair cockpit view'', yet the little Intepid wipes the floor with its gogeous wrap-around cockpit panaramaic view, C'mon CIG, why flounder on such a crucial aspect of the cockpit......pilot visuals?.

[@davewills6121]

@@Raptorman386 I don't hsave anything else to bitch about the Polaris, its so immersive and theengine room is a work of art. I an not bothered by Misc cockpits, but after a few days i just melted it, being squished up in the corner of that hulking cockpit is an excuse of denial, very poor design choice CIG.

[@quin6135]

$60-$70?! Does CIG pay you for those guesses. Its a $50 starter ship.

[@rory-red]

rebalancing never bothered me it needed part of all games.

[@davewills148]

Why don't you guys ever do some 'theory Crafting'' for those that want a: 'pioneer/Kraken/Javelin/Idris''. There are without doubt thousands wracking their brains on ''how can i get my Capital Ship'' as the waves roll out?, and if they think getting one is hard, i doubt many, if any especially 'Noob/Solo' backers will entertain any thoughts to ownership?. I like many have had the Polaris for a good few days and its everything and more once you have time to take it all in, and i can only imagine the Polaris in the hands of a competent small crew, yet no one has mentioned that dire ''Pilot cockpit View'', a gorgeous spacious cockpit, and the poor pilot is squashed up in a corner, struts blocking your line of sight, with a very poor viewing angle, and a ship that is expected to end up with a $850+ price tag. I had one, yet being pilot in as polaris is more restrictive than the cheapest starter, and the Intrepid with its crystal clear wrap around cockpit wipes the floor with the intrepid for the pilot, in fact visually, its possibly the worst. Im sure there is a practical reason that makes sense, and i think the ships we are getting are exceptional, CIG are doing a fantastic job overall,?.

[@Sentan555]

I kept thinking the intrepid was a shielded cargo

Although i take most of what they say as personal opinion, they did have audiences with the likes of 'John Crewe' and other devs, and came away with some interesting validations from those talks. I do know the HUll series has allowed for a mass of assets to be used in Misc ships including the Starlancer variants, and john crewe confimed the Max/Tac were built off of the back of the BLD,.
