Win a Starlancer Max | Luminalia is Live | Star Citizen

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

Will you be participating in the video contest? The Starlancer Max is a huge prize. I recently gave 2 of them to org members as gifts. :)

[@planetwally]

Regarding your question on prizes from CIG contests, in most cases they are not meltable, not giftable, and not upgradeable. They appear as 'greyed out' in the hagar. There are exceptions to this, but that is the standard.

[@manegrmusa4551]

i would not complain about that 😎

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

@@planetwally Ok that's what I thought - and thank you for clarifying that!

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

@@manegrmusa4551 Complain about what?

[@DrunkenCitizen]

@@ForgeCoreGaming Maybe. If the game agrees with me and the footage is just right. But it's more of a weekend project.

[@KryptoWolf-1]

Spawning in the Hanger instead of the hab would be awesome, missing and having to wait for the train sucks. Excited for the next Live Aboard episode 😀.

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

I agree! I'll have it ready for you Thursday evening!

[@jonascrawley]

Love your BG Xmas music. Isn’t the usual stuff but still sounds xmassy! Always look forward to collecting the luminalia stuff, this year I will also collect em for my alt acct. Probably won’t do the vid contest as I just got myself a Starlancer at the end of IAE.

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

You could always use an extra 🤓

[@kevinlytle6215]

Hanger spawning would be very nice. A personal space is one of the features I have been most interested in.

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

It's in the game!

[@koruzarius8071]

I just hope they sort out the transit refactor soon, and I'd love to be able to log out anywhere and just come back in. I don't mind a tram ride back and forth periodically, I don't like getting stuck because the tram bugged out, or having to do 45 minutes of setup to play for 20 minutes because that was all the time I had, and having to do it all again next time.

[@DaGhostToast]

Thanks for the summary!

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

You're welcome!

[@ThreeGoddesses]

I couldn't get the first days gift to open up for me. That said, I love the starlancer. Its everything I want out of a ship, its interior is a huge win, its fairly soloable but its got plenty of space for a crew, a big garage area for a vehicle, it feels like its THE perfect multirole vessel. Its going to be good for everything; combat, cargo, exploration, mining. Hell, even salvage if you have a friendly vulture on the side.

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

It should be available this afternoon

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

But, yeah I agree.. the starlancer is probably my favorite ship to use in the game right now.

[@Cread-fb4gt]

Imaging they make it possible to take a speacial elevator from the hospitals to the hangar with the dedicated medical space in every hangar

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

I was just talking about this with my org last week!

[@Kyle-sr6jm]

I don't do any video production, so no contest. Luminalia free stuff is always welcome

[@DrunkenCitizen]

Yay tis the time of year to clean up Stanton from all these boxes being thrown on the ground and free festive paints and hopefully a demeco.

[@db3x88]

While there is some doubt on reddit about it remaining a feature, i'm really hoping that they commit to the notion of spawning in the hangar. With the Starlancer, Raft, and only slightly smaller in liveable space than a hab in NB, the Intrepid, i have three ships that a person could legitimately call a home (hell, the Starlancer is a NICE four bedroom house with wings) it seems obvious from an in-universe perspective that i should be able to land in my secure personal hangar, step back to the habitation area, have dinner and a shower then bed log. Personal habs in the major cities and space stations would be cool too, not to mention base building allowing us to set up a tiny homestead somewhere, but this seems like an easy and obvious first step in that direction, and one i have been hoping for since the introduction of our allegedly persistent (because my hangar decor and vehicles i leave adjacent to the pads are only in my hangar roughly 50% of the time) hangars.

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

Well, I hope it does remain a feature. It would certainly lower the barrier to logging on and getting things done when you don't necessarily have a couple free hours.

[@db3x88]

@@ForgeCoreGaming Cutting down on the time it takes to get us from spawn to launch is an absolute MUST, and, i get them wanting to tie us in some way to the cities they have spent a great number of development hours creating, because i am sure that a lot of the player base, like myself, traditionally spawned into a hab that first time after a big patch, took the tram to the starport, and immediately took off and changed their spawn to their space station of choice, rarely making it back to their "home" planet at all unless it was to hit up the TDD, and the persistent hangars will help with that to a certain degree, but letting us log and spawn in those hangars will definitely help keep many of us from abandoning the cities entirely. Though honestly they do need to find reasons beyond four shops, the TDD, and a food court to make the tram journeys worth it.

[@4tonmike]

Not to mention some of the habs doors are still bugged. This is a welcome move that signals that maybe CIG isn't completely ignoring us like any other faceless corporation. I dare say more moves like this might warm my cold, dead heart.

[@citizen_brimstone3113]

The Nomad and 100i are also on sale

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

Niceeeee

[@LivewareProblem-P4r]

Would love to see your video. I don't do any recording or editing myself so I am probably out on this one. Luminalia is still kinda fun tho and a bit of free account bound shwag never hurts. I just did the exact process, including checking on upgrades and possible new sales, before watching your video but it was still fun to see if I missed anything. :)

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

Well I appreciate you watching :) This video certainly wasn't planned, but I figured I'd get some announcements out there. I'll see what I can do about putting a video together. I haven't even begun brainstorming ideas for that just yet.

[@LivewareProblem-P4r]

@@ForgeCoreGaming If I had the know how I was thinking a fun montage of giving Pico's and Finleys to people could be funny. Or Just leaving them around stations (which I do frequntly already) for others to find.

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

@@LivewareProblem-P4r lol I love it! You can do it though. Download OBS & use the free version of Capcut as your video editor. It's not terribly difficult. You will be at least 32 gb of ram to run obs & SC at the same time though. IDK what your spec are - just sayin from experience.

[@LivewareProblem-P4r]

@@ForgeCoreGaming Hmm I may try. My video card has a native recording feature but I will look at the programs you mentioned. I have 32 ram and a newer card but my system is eight or nine years old at this point. Still runs SC at high settings but I'll probably have to scrape up a serious upgrade in the next year or so. Money is not one of my super powers. lol

[@JWalker-FireFrost]

So much enthusiasm, forgot to mention there's a wipe for 4.0 so any ships u got in game or cash weapons and armor will be gone .

[@JWalker-FireFrost]

You can also just log in the last day and collect everything , for those of us that have been bent over by the scrooge roberts for 13-15 yrs

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

Yeah.. this video really wasn't about the wipe or 4.0.. just Luminalia :)

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

That's a pro tip

[@OverkillGamingPC]

It would be nice if the luminalia weapons could get LTI, but they'll probably just be a one time use thing

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

I think they'd show back up in your inventory after each post-update reset

[@frogger2011ify]

They said we will get blue prints for crafting them instead of the item itself so you won't lose it per say

[@aiur1645]

When they give out the luminalia skins from last year with the starter packs, why not the aurora, they do exist if i remember right

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

I don't know the answer to this lol.

[@aiur1645]

I checked, i got the polar paint for the aurora, so at leat 1 exists. But even i upgraded my old aurora pack to a pisces at some point

[@Vioblight]

Those are paints from last year and they didn’t do the aurora. Maybe they will this year. There are hundreds of other ships that didn’t get paints like the aurora

[@Squirrelking187]

I won’t be participating in the contests but I’m excited to see space Christmas. I’m a long time backer but this’ll mark my first one I’ve played during.

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

Nice! This is my first Luminalia as well.. I've been backing since 2017

@@ForgeCoreGamingAwesome, hope to see you in the verse!

[@Brodi-]

Would be cool to add a hab + medbay inside your PU hangar

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

That would be amazing

[@Brodi-]

@ it would make spawning in ur hangar more immersive and u should be able to make stanton stations primary spawns like pyro

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

@@Brodi- yeah, I'm hoping they bring that

[@VSLL]

I've already seen the rewards that are given out for every day, meeh, just skins. On day 5, there will be 2 skins for 400i, perhaps this is the most interesting for me and maybe on 11, a snowy Pico.

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

Well dang - are the skins any good at least?

[@robwoodring9437]

That sucks, last year there were guns amongst the skins and bad sweaters

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

@@robwoodring9437 That's what I heard - maybe they'll surprise us

[@VSLL]

@@ForgeCoreGaming It's a matter of taste, I think

@@robwoodring9437 in addition to the skins for ships, there will be 5 weapons: Karna "Alpine Sunset", LH86 "Permafrost", Coda "Ultraviolet", Karna "Brimstone" and BR-2 "Permafrost". But for me it's just skins, like for ships. Oh, yeah, on the first day u will receive a badge on the spectrum

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

Oh I totally forgot to go click the Luminalia calendar

[@Power5]

Yawn on the luminalia but at least it is something. I dislike the spawning in hangar. The benefit of living in station needs to remain. Going to planet should have some sort of benefit as well though. Maybe less ship claim time at major LZs compared to stations. But living on planet should have that time sink of going from apartment to space port. So if people want to move to a station it requires hauling all the gear since CIG does not want to have global inventory. But that moving time sink requires a lot of hauling. That would give hauling players a job to do by moving other players around the verse.

[@UltraWideGigachad]

Not live until the 12th. Wrong.

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

Watch the video instead of ignorantly criticizing. Luminalia is live.

[@Captiveyeti]

Yes, no more transit..

[@joeynuggetz]

Yeah, lets just get rid of all the things that make star citizen unlike any other game out there and reduce it to mediocrity just out of convenience for people that dont wanna ride the tram. What's wrong with spawning at a spaceport? I'm sure CIG will cave and make people spawn at hangars but I'm hoping its really about testing habs in preparation for crafting. Soon enough they'll remove the need for food and all planet interiors will be rendered useless as no one will have a reason to walk thru them. Great way to kill the magic. Sorry, not picking on you but it really sucks to see that people dont appreciate the work that CIG put in to give us persistent spaces.

[@ForgeCoreGaming]

This doesn't negate the work they've done with persistent spaces. There are still reasons to go into a city, and there's plenty of justification to lower the barrier from "logging in" to "playing the game." This doesn't even come close to ruining what's special about SC. QoL improvements are just fine to an extent, and this actually gets closer to what CIG has in mind for the direction of the game. They WANT you to be able to get in and go - which is why they'll eventually be adding the ability for other players to log out in your ship - or anywhere for that matter. That's stated by them as their intention. It was never the intention to have you run through the city for no real purpose. If you want this game to thrive, it will have to appeal to a bit broader spectrum of people beyond the "die hards". And the majority of the player base, likely, doesn't value spawning in the habs.

[@lvo1004]

Yeah, just get rid of the thing that prevents people from actually start playing the game in a reasonable amount of time. We want to play the game, not see the same tram ride day and day again, currently I'm not even seeing the work cig put into the starting locations because I just run it on "auto pilot" completely blind to what's around me. When I occasionally need to go shopping or trading that is just enough of tram rides to keep it special instead of a daily chore (or even a hourly chore with all the crashing when the server is overpopulated)
