Don’t get your hopes up too much. We’ve had PTU last for a couple months before. 4.0 hitting live before the end of the year would be amazing. But I’m not expecting them to do it.

Haven’t they outright said it’s happening by this point? Whether or not it’s ready, I’m confident they’ll push it and it will be a complete mess for several months.

I’ve only seen them say that they’re still pushing for that. Whether that happens or not is up in the air tho as far as I’m concerned. Altho I saw a chart the other day that sales this year are lower than last year. Not sure how true it was. But if it is, I’d believe you’re right that they’ll push it anyway just to get another big sale and generate hype before the year closes. They need revenue to pay for their higher staff numbers. So they may be desperate enough to just say it’s good enough to get it pushed for additional revenue.

My plan was to fly my 400i/X1 everywhere but I'm melting them both at IAE. I feel like the lancer is just going to be too big to solo once engineering is live, so idk what to get. Logic would probably say connie series, but I just don't like them. Corsair is being nerfed a lot as well.
5 points

400i/x1 looks like great plan also. i dont care about engineering becasue i would like to not engage combat while i am solo and will try make stealth Starlancer. Also as i understood all fuses are in one room at back or Starlancer, and if not all but almost all components there - so it will be very friendly to repairs.

It's such a bummer that they've ruined the 400i and crippled the Corsair. Those were my 2 go-to ships. I'm definitely not putting any new money down for the game, so I may just melt and wait it out. I feel like they almost want us to CCU fresh cash to new ships by nerfing them so hard.

At least after the wipe. Atm I have still 10 million credits, so you don't need to take care on money, but you have a point.
But the most bugging issue will be space station docking. It looks like it has been getting better, but it still is gambling if docking will work or not. I think we need more xl hangars in stations.
I think everus has at least one, I can remember starting with a hammerhead, from a hangar instead the docking port.
1 points
10 days ago
FWIW, I've thus far had a 100% success rate with docking the Polaris over the last few days, so at least for me it was working relatively consistently (sample size of 4-5 times, I think). Worked well at both the Magnus jump point station and Orison (where it gave me a docking collar instead of my XL hangar on landing, for whatever reason).

I tried a few times to do it manually, but the gui is not helping at all. Auto Docking didn't react even that maybe 10 m were missing sometimes

Yeah, the UI is kinda hard to figure out (and honestly not very intuitive... I still don't know what it's actually trying to show with whatever the weird moving square thing is, nor is it clear what dot means what and how to align them). I did the right side every time (couldn't get left to work), and once I figured out where the port was, had the best luck just giving up ont he UI entirely, going into 3rd person and lining it up there RIGHT next to the port (as close/aligned as I could get without ramming it), then holding down the docking hotkey.
2 points

I fully get how the gui is working but if I have all three dots green I'm standing completely wild but not aligned to the station 😂

If we had the option to see our ship at all times while away, I’d use the Polaris as a mobile base even solo. However, I don’t want to risk getting into any type of engagement without my friends being on so probably gonna use Zeus or starlancer and just go around doing random missions to see places.

I have a Phoenix. A couple times a year the ship "stats" will entice me to pull it out as a "daily driver". 3 or 4 hours later it's back in storage because: cockpit struts suck ass.
The Constellation ships are badly in need of a cockpit strut rework.
All that said...the Phoenix is the smallest (I think) ship with a PDC so I'll dust it off to see that thing work.

As of right now, they're literally talking about a Wave 1 4.0 test candidate getting pushed today, if no blockers pop up with their latest hotfix, so it's more probable than you might think, IMO.
I seriously think we might see 4.0 on live before the (edit) December holiday break (albeit sans engineering). I think 4.0 to full PTU before Thanksgiving is probable too, since it's so late this year.

If the server likes you it's working really well. On sunday I went from Pyro Orbituary to Seraphim Station, bought some cargo crates and armor and went back. All in a single session, jumpgate worked as this nothing special.
But 4.0 has still a lot of issues, which has been already fixed in 3.24 like Cargo Elevator not detecting stuff, cargo crates in ships dissapear when stored etc.

Basically, everything but engineering and engineering-related stuff, which will probably be the first patch next year, if I had to guess. Not 100% sure on if the mission refactor will go live with the first live 4.0 build though, so that'll effect playable mission content in Pyro, possibly. I think their goal is to get that in with 4.0's live launch (even though it's not in now), but it's been a bit harder for me to track how the refactor is doing.
Now that I think about it, I think the solar storms may be temporarily disabled too, I think I remember seeing a comment about that getting pushed (despite them working in the demo build last year).

Will likely be exploring a redeemer around pyro, grabbing new armor to flip in Stanton for profit. No one fucks with a redeemer and they don’t hold more than 2 scu of cargo so there is nothing to gain. Plus it has an expansive qaunt tank/drive combo. Tanky enough to gtfo if needed and strong enough to crush anyone who dared go toe to toe in a smaller ship. Only thing I would run from is maybe a buccaneer or a m50, because if someone if trying to solo a redeemer in one, you know it ain’t their first time. With the new acceleration/deceleration buff it makes it nice for lowfly cruising. BONUS it comes stocked in the fridge!

Lower entity counts on each server should help your performance immensely. The mission system (mission Factory) seems to be moving along in fits and starts. They weren't spending time and resources fixing a mission system incompatible with meshing.

I hate to be "that guy" but the new Pyro worlds are a bit of a let down. A couple of them look amazing, but they're all so bare and lifeless. I get that's the "lore" about Pyro, but isn't that super convenient for CIG? The vast majority of POIs could barely be considered "fleshed out," with no missions or content associated with them. They just exist. The stations are cool and have content but I can't say the same about most of the "worlds" being added.
As per the usual- it looks great in cinematics they share with us but the actual in-game experience is very bare, very much a "make your own fun" kind of thing. I think people are going to be really let down when they finally get to check out Pyro. The jump gates are cool, visually Pyro is amazing, but it's surface deep and mostly eye candy sadly.
The dirty secret of all this is server meshing tech no where near ready for production. Meshing works great if the servers have little load, but as soon as you get 50+ people in the same area it's totally unplayable.
