For everyone interested in Star Citizen's dog fighting module, the module is set to release April 10-11. Anyone interested in gaining access to this alpha and still hasn't pledged, should do so soon. There are under 4500 spots remaining to access dog fighting. The minimum pledge needed to for access is the single ship pledge of the Aurora MR for $40.00.

Anyone that has interest to upgrade ships or trade ships in for a different one be warned on one important face. You will have to keep at least one of the ships in your hangar that say alpha and beta. If you melt that down to purchase something else you will lose alpha and beta access.

Unless they say otherwise expect this.

latest date 3rd week in May for complete roll out 2 week for the lucky few

I will check out the DFM, but probably wont play much of it until its not a giant buggy POS and the "Arena" GvG lobby is instituted. Which means the Org module needs to drop with DFM interface for lobby invites.

Don't promise what you can't deliver...

"A serious amount of time was spent building the Arena Commander leaderboard system which will carry pilot and org stats for the module."

they are working on the org's and the DFM just not sure how it will work but if they are planning on tracking orgs performance it must have some kind of selection process

ps
can not understand their multi membership obsession??

Because when it comes to espionage and Org Meta Game, Chris Roberts has his head stuck in the ground and is a complete noob or just refuses to admit that Citizens would use the Multi Org system to Spy and cutthroat assets.

CR has been warned multiple times by multiple large scale Orgs that when the crying starts that some SOB that infiltrated your ORG conned you out of hard assets, don't say we didn't tell you.

"refuses to admit that Citizens would use the Multi Org system to Spy and cutthroat assets."

This is what CR wants he has been watching EVE news stories instead of playing EVE

most ORG's are going to be closed anyway if you want to spy you will spy with a different account with no link to your own ORG not use a system that has/will have built in ways of finding out your hidden org

That is exactly what the GSS would do and has always done. I would purchase several accounts for this purpose.

ok access is almost here

everyone will have the single player to try at launch of the DFM

but multiplayer will be rolled out in groups based on you citizen number

Yup just a few more weeks. We will be able to start flying.

Citizen Record #78950

Will the bigger ships be included in this module or only the single seaters? Also If we don't own a single seater will we be able to try out the different models of ships ?

The way it works multi crew ships will be in the 2nd release of the dog fighting module. It's being released in 3 big stages. Those with multi crew ships will most likely get a hornet to fight with until their ship has been released in the module.

#295720

I cant wait to fly on the Idris with you!

Same here. With the size of the ship now it's a mobile command station pretty much!

Can you walk around in the Idris in the hanger program yet ?

Nope, from what I've read it will not be release till dog fighting release 3 when they add FPS elements to dog fighting with the capture the idris match type. Being able to fly it probably not till squadron 42. It's the campaign capital ship so everyone will at least know what ones like I guess haha.

Technically the Bengal is the capital ship. Idrii (?) would be their primary escorts. I imagine we'll see the Idris, Tali, Starfarer, and Cat soon(tm) as they'll want people giving them a thorough crawling over and through before pushing them through into less controlled environments like SQ42 and DFM

Bengal is the main capital ship, however according to Chris Roberts Squadron 42 will be based off the Idris's and the Bengal carrier won't appear in dog fighting only the Idris's as the largest ship. Idris's won't appear until release 3 dog fighting by Chris Roberts, so if he says that I don't expect it earlier but I won't rule out later. Constellations and such should be in release 2 of dog fighting as per Chris Roberts and the PAX East reveal.

"Let me begin with the information you most want to hear: we intend to launch Arena Commander in two weeks, on May 29th.The goal is that every backer will have access to the single player “Free Flight” and “Vanduul Swarm” games modes on this day, and the very first batch of multiplayer testers will get access to the game’s multiplayer game modes."

Sweet date works for me I'll be all moved!

^This

And why I have four vet backer accounts and how I was able to safely grey market hard assets and almost pay off my entire investment into SC. Hell, I even paid off the gifts to Drakiis and Donk.

The only real repercussion you face would be an IP scan of all accounts and would only work if CiG was willing to go that far and you were lazy and aren't running an IP proxy range. I think about a dozen or so of the usual suspects sent CR and Wingman what they could expect if they allowed "Ship assignment" to others in your Org and the entire in-game asset aspect, regardless of Multi-Orgs, which just made it easier.

As usual, no one wants to believe that the cutthroat hardcore meta is going to be there and when you make statements that you want to eliminate or highly mitigate in-game mechanics that facilities the ability to grief Citizens, and then you ignore the human element to that statement, it's very telling about the actual commitment of CR to let go of his belief of the way things are and accept the reality of the human element.

Expect a river of tears once this title goes live in the PU and the ability to con your way into access of hard in game assets of an organization and then pilfer them and filter to your own use. I don't expect CR or CIG to change there stance or the game mechanics that will allow for this to happen until after the fact.

CIG is already playing the Favored Son with multi-player in some of the larger Orgs that are chalked full of white knights...like BWC, LAMP, IMPERIUM

I personally can't wait to poop on these Orgs so hard in the early days of the live PU and let history continue to repeat itself...

This is why you have multiple accounts to get around whatever Person of Interest scanning system CIG employs.

Many of these Orgs are openly recruiting as well, which imo is a disastrous idea because if you are sending out mass form letters of recruiting like the dozen or so I have received, you are setting your own Org up for attacks from within. If I had access to 3+ accounts I could have already infiltrated several Orgs, established myself before alpha/beta/release, burrowed in deep, and by the time I was comfortable with my accounts progress and wealth funneled tons of intel and resources to KGB. All of those Orgs listed and several others have been sending out invites to their clans blindly and that is a mistake..

It's pointless to mass recruit. These orgs with 1,000+ people will never play together. You cant fit that many in a single sector.

Quality or quantity.

This is a warning that you now just have 3 days to blow the dust of your joystick

24hrs to go until we stop posting here about SC
and move it to

http://oracle.the-kgb.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=21&page=1

I'm all set on PC hardware for Star Citizen but I'm sure many will need to upgrade. Also hope everyone remembers that the game will be 64bit only if someone is still rocking 32bit OS.

It sounds more like later in the week after QA testing. The bugs may be fixed but you never know. They have to have their go/no-go meeting.

To clarify, Monday is NOT out of the question (but we also can't promise it tonight.) We'll let you know as soon as we know more!

Ben Lesnick

I am starting to have negative thought
its lunch time over there?
and still no news :(

Im just planning on the weekend.

nothing official but CIG is leaking like the NSA

Arena Commanders: we don't have a release to announce yet, but it's soon! We'll update the RSI site when it's official.

Ben Lesnick @banditloaf · 1h

@MrJoachim007 Not 100% - but it's looking positive. We'll update soon!

"Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Arena Commander forums. Please post any bugs or issues that you have in our Arena Commander Bug Report forum. (Link coming soon). Other than that feel free to discuss anything Arena Commander in this forum. Thanks! "

Well that's nice but doesn't mean much. You should just relax and wait not like many if any of us will be in upon release. Single player can be played whenever.

yep your right bed time for me

one thing I have learnt is to never stay up for CIG

Is the download up yet? Im at work

nope not even the results of the "morning" go no go meeting

And that's why you don't wait for CIG to get back with you.

not to get excited but are we about to go live

Greetings Citizens,

One warning before we get started: the updated launched for Arena Commander will completely replace your Hangar Module's USER folder. This is where CryEngine saves screenshots by default... so if you have previous screenshots (or other saved data) that you want to preserve, please go ahead and move them now BEFORE patching to Arena Commander.

https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/136223

I see you need to patch to AC. Do we need a invite to do so, via email??

still no patch so time for bed again

helemoto looks like it will be a patch on the existing hanger
module if you don't have that downloaded you can get it
from here

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/hangar-module

perfect timing go to sleep open eye wait 10 mins and CIG posts their first official update

now I get to go to work come home and play the DFM

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/13919-Arena-Commander-Build-Update

reetings Citizens,

The go/no-go meeting has happened and the word is GO! Arena Commander V0.8 is currently being uploaded to our server partners. If all goes according to plan, the module should be available to play later tonight! There’s no need to keep reloading your Star Citizen Launcher: we will post here as soon as the download is available.

In the meantime, we’ve put together a quick gallery of what we call “body horror” screenshots collected by the team in Santa Monica over the past several months. These show off some of the more bizarre bugs we’ve run into during the game’s development. We expect you’ll find a lot more once you start helping us test Arena Commander… but hopefully these have all been eliminated!

USER IINSTRUCTIONS
Once it's live, you'll need to pick up your helmet -- it'll be on a stand in your Hangar. After you have the helmet, go board your DFM ship and you'll be able to fly it.

10GB file 1 hour 4 mins

Yup already downloaded didn't see or missed the release schedule of backers getting in multiplayer though

any thoughts on the single player?

Haven't launched it yet, working on a CPA lecture. Heard it was buggy tho from Romeo and Donk streaming it last night. Something about excessively long load times.

Im DLing now! getting 3.2 meg down with 9G to go.

Controller support ='s absolutely horrible atm.

mouse/keyboard ='s probably the best but not my thing for space games

joystick ='s the best in maneuverability however unable to customize my layout so half my features are not working without using keyboard.

The HUD is better on the 300i, the graphics are a start for an initial release some effects seem glitchy.

Disappointed that Romeo hasn't puked though :(
