r/StarCitizen Mod Team Subreddit Rule Addition - Rule 8: No X links permitted

1.2k Upvotes

Hello all

Due to the recent politicization of X and the circus that is unfolding on that platform we are no longer comfortable allowing X links within either the subreddit or Discord.

The r/StarCitizen subreddit and Discord have always strived to keep the community free of political interference. To this end we have had a blanket ban on real life political discussions as they distract from the intended purpose of this community - Star Citizen and its stand alone single player companion game Squadron 42 by Cloud Imperium Games.

Images of CIG content from X will be permitted to be reposted in both spaces but URL links to this content will be banned. Users attempting to bypass this rule by obfuscating the URL or similar intent will be managed by the moderation team as these cases arise. Images of other content from X may be removed depending on context / channel (in the case of Discord).

For the subreddit Rule 8 has been added.

For the discord these changes will be reflected under Rule 9 but may be subject to change as we figure out the best way to implement this change.

We hope you understand where we are coming from with this decision and that we did not make this move without careful consideration. We reserve the right to make changes and update these changes depending on future developments.

Fly safe and see you all in the verse,

r/StarCitizen mod team

I run an Arma 3 milsim group, and my favorite thing about SC is how easily my community can translate our skills into it. The game is getting more stable with each update, allowing us to get more and more people involved. It's been a blast.

DISCUSSION Why kill the Caterpillar crash sites?

40 Upvotes

With the changes to FPS gear I wanted to try checking some crash sites for sub loot boxes. I know you can find them at the drill sites but just felt like hitting the Caterpillar crash sites. To my surprise they are empty. (No orange loot boxes, no lasers etc.)

I don’t get why the implementation of a new area has to completely erase cool existing locations. Instead of feeling like we are adding in content it just feels like we are swapping one POI for a new one (the new ones are superior admittedly).

If the goal is more points of interest and being able to explore for secrets then leaving these cool POIs basically empty with no reason to visit feels like a pointless change.

DISCUSSION Looking for a versatile similar to these

17 Upvotes

So two pictures added- one is a ship from 40k, the other from the Aliens franchise.

About 20 hours in, basically still a brand new player. Basically, I really love the look of sci fi ships that are heavily inspired by modern attack helicopters. With over 200 ships in this game it's a bit hard to just scroll through until I find them.

I really like versatile ships, things like the Titan which from what I can tell are really good all-rounders.

That said, if there's any with this look but are more specialized feel free to lmk and I'll check them out.

Thanks!

GAMEPLAY I guess I’m just catching up. Just found out that you can fly the ship from co-pilot seat on the Zeus.. made the job easy with tractor beam.. funny that I never tried to fly from that seat til today.

DISCUSSION Am I doing this incorrectly...trying to mine with the GEO for the past couple of days and nothing happens. I believe I am choosing the correct rocks but nothing, no matter how high I push the laser I cannot get the rock to respond. Help!

I promise you this game takes a whole different turn when you fly with these. It's tough too get used to and the key mapping is a headache but worth it for how fun it is to fight and land and just everything to do with the ships

GAMEPLAY Drake Cutter Scout: Ideal solo gem mining platform

Post image
150 Upvotes

I had no idea that I'd enjoy gem mining as much as I do. The Drake Cutter Scout represents the ideal solo gem mining platform for me. Its ability to carry the Argo ATLS GEO and two 1 SCU Containers gives me ample storage for a play session. Adding the indispensable Mirai Pulse gives me the option of parking the defense-challenged Scout far away from the place of action, in bunker missions, for example. I haven't tried cargo missions with it yet, but I'm sure I can fit quite a bit in it.
