Internal VR Tests Soon.TM - Sean Tracy CIG (www.youtube.com)
submitted 8 hours ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
1 comments fedilink

Chachi reviews some new information that we have learned from Quantum Vegas.
Highlights from the video:

  • Sean Tracy has mentioned that they are planning to start testing VR within 1-2 months.
  • VR is already natively supported in Star Engine, but some things have been broken with the changes they have made to the engine.
  • CIG licensing out Star Engine is unlikely because of the maintenance needed to support other teams/companies/developers.

Wakapedia posted in chat(and updated the MotD) to let us know about some mission fixes in the game.

We've deployed a service-side hotfix onto the LIVE environment that should make "Ship Under Attack" (Resource Drive), Gilly's Flight School, and Foxwell missions constantly available. Let me know if they start popping back up again!

Selling stims at Grim Hex (lemmy.ca)
submitted 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
3 comments fedilink

I did a cargo job to send stims from ARC-Bajini Point to 3 nearby out-posts. The mission required 12 SCU of stims. When picking up the stims, the freight elevator gave me too many. Like, double. I took it all, completed the delivery mission and got paid.

What am I going to do with the other 13 SCUs of stims? Selling at a station buying says "unregistered or illegal cargo". Selling at Grim Hex says Price Mismatch error.

Any advice?

Star Citizen - Solo Mole Mining Quantanium - How To Set Up Ship TO NOT WOBBLE!!!/ 4.2.0 /4K (www.youtube.com)
submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
1 comments fedilink

Video for solo miners. RisboTheBlade covers a few different topics here and how to tackle big rocks.

How to calculate the amount of SCU you get from a rock:

  • He gives a roundabout method, but just take the direct percentage and multiply the SCU amount by that (from his example it would be 247.37*0.3203).

How to stabilize your ship to avoid wobbling:

  • Angle ship downward at 45⁰ angle to get your main thrusters farther away from the ground.

Other tips and tricks:

  • Why Instability is bad (you want it in the green)
  • Use gadgets on secondary breaks to lower instability so that you don't lose out on ore.
  • Turn on lifeline module when the green bar is ~2/3 full
  • Use modules completely so that they fall off
  • Reduce refinery times by placing half of your pods in the cargo elevator.
  • Sell quantanium to players looking to complete Wikelo missions to easily double what you can earn (UEX Corp has a useful player marketplace).

An Update on Cheating and Exploiting - Ulf-CIG (robertsspaceindustries.com)

Ulf-CIG@Skelting-CIG

An Update on Cheating and Exploitingpinned

Hi everyone,

We've observed a recent increase in exploits and cheating in-game and want to acknowledge everyone who's taken the time to report these issues. It's genuinely appreciated.

Historically, we’ve taken a more relaxed approach to third-party tools. This was intentional, allowing space for community-driven efforts like localization, VR integrations, and other creative contributions. However, with our growing player base and increased engagement, we’ve reached a new threshold — one where exploiters see greater opportunity in targeting the game. In response to the recent spike in abuse, we’ll be tightening our anti-cheat measures to better protect both the integrity of the game and the experience for the broader community that continues to shape it.

While we won’t be sharing specifics, we want to reassure you that recent updates have already made a substantial impact. We’ve also issued a large wave of account bans and will continue to take enforcement actions as needed.

To be clear: exploiting or cheating is strictly against our terms, regardless of intent or the current stage of development. We understand some users may be experimenting, acting out of curiosity, or believe they’re helping expose issues — but even these actions can be disruptive and damaging to the game. This behavior can lead to serious consequences, up to and including permanent account closure.

We’ll continue monitoring the situation and taking whatever steps are necessary to ensure fair play. Thanks again for continuing to report issues as they arise.

Zyloh-CIG also pointed out that "the bans were permanent." https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/1/thread/cheating-exploits-update/8118455

New Referral Program is Live (robertsspaceindustries.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
6 comments fedilink

I think they definitely handled this upgrade the right way. Many players were concerned about losing all of their previous progress with the previous system, but making it so referrals count towards both rewards is awesome:

What happens to my current referral progress?

If you've referred at least one player who has purchased a game package before July 2, you'll retain access to what we're now calling the Legacy Ladder. You'll be able to view it via your Account Settings, and going forward, new referrals will count toward both the Legacy and new ladders—meaning you can earn rewards on both tracks at the same time.
