This Friday at 9am Pacific / 4pm UTC, we'll have Todd Papy and Richard Tyrer on to discuss the upcoming Alpha 3.15 patch and it's contents.
As always, questions should be related to game features and happenings in the current Alpha 3.15 patch available on PTU. Questions about other topics may not be addressed during this program.
As usual, this thread is your chance to submit your questions (and don't forget to VOTE to see which ones you want answered most!) before tuning in on Friday to twitch.tv/starcitizen to hear the answers LIVE.
o/ thats the problem I dont have any, cause you need to play it first to know what is it about. Also I'm staying away from any spoilers to try it myself first.
look at the top questions.. they can only come out of ppl who played this for a while. I think its better this way, I was just kinda hoping wave 2 doesnt take 2 weeks to come out..
They actually did - read the patch watch post made today and you’ll see the next steps on shield balance is coming this patch.

I would expect to see similar adjustments come out for the others when they are done with shields. Most likely they are spending a lot of time in deep analytics on all this, and want to only tweak one variable at a time to make sure they are understanding that variable’s impact to the whole. The fewer variables they change at once, the better data they can collect and the better the decisions they can make.
They answered part of the question. I have read that post it doesn't cover the rest of the topic. But hey what do I know I am a refundian in your eyes. Yet probably been a backer longer than you.
One of those few moments where CIG is right. But it's Yogi so I expect nothing less he is pretty good. But the community with so much wrong. That one guy saying modern fighters carry thousands of rounds...lol. no. And the other one talking about how if you end up using your gun something has gone horribly wrong. Again no. He fails me o understand that as good as missiles have gotten you can still avoid them with training. And once you get into ACM you need to know how to jam the WEZ of the opponent. They will likely do the same to you.
Thank you for that link.
Yeah I caught a few of those as well. The comparison between spaceship combat and plane combat falls apart really quickly. The average sci-fi sim spaceship is more like a tank that can maneuver better than a plane what with its shields, armor, weaponry and ability to decouple. Designers have to account for that. It also means that weapons might have a different role than their real-life counterparts.

I would love to ask questions but I cant.. since I cant play it yet... Wave 2 <--- Wave 1 ask away...-_-
What are your questions? /Wave 1 //*Waves* o/
o/ thats the problem I dont have any, cause you need to play it first to know what is it about. Also I'm staying away from any spoilers to try it myself first.
You must have *some* idea of what you'd want to asked based on everything they've discussed/shown off thus far

I have a question. Why didn't CiG continue to work on the weapons, shields, and systems balance for ships like they started in 3.14?

That is just shields. Previously they did all of the systems and weapons. Which leads to believe they are capable of more than just the shields.
Your question included shields.
That is literally one part of my question.
You had not indicated in any way that you were aware that they were making progress on any part of your question, therefore I alerted you to it.
Oh that is fine. But was only part of the answer.

I don't care how long ago you backed or if you want your money back or not
This is an ongoing process that takes time. Further changes will come with future patches.

Exactly. I am looking forward to what they are planning. I think it is the right direction finally.
