Star Citizen Social Module is LIVE. (Nyx preview)

(CIG defies the laws of reality by being on time).

https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/281903/downtime-tonight-1-2-social-module-to-live-7pm-cdt-12am-gmt

Star Citizen's next big step, the Social Module, is finally going live tonight. I'll try to post some videos of the whole thing tomorrow.

Most likely, if the PTU is anything to go by, it'll mostly be the same has what was in the Gamescom tour.

The SM will be in ArcCorp. In this v.0 version, it'll be very barebones and missing in many aspects, like complete Mobiglass integration, full communication features and even some stores are closed. You can read more in the link.

Also, remember that the current form of AC is not the complete area. Further walkable zones will be added, as they are under construction. The full size of ArcCorp at launch is currently unkown, like the other planets.

Finally, even weather patterns and day/night cycles might be missing.

So remember that this is indeed an alpha and does not represent the complete experience.

Nyx landing preview:

You can read about the Aegis Vanguard variants. The Sentinel (An E-warfate version) and the Harbinger (a bomber)

(Could use some more detailed info there CIG)

Is it beginning???

Yes?

I absolutely fail to see what the **** constant SC updates have to do with System Wars. Blog it.

I certainly didn't expect them to launch it with in the time Chris said at Gamescom

Now that I've picked myself up off the floor. I'll update in the morning once the rush dies down :)

It makes the kids butthurt. Exhibit A^

Prime SW material.

Wanting to make someone on the internet 'butthurt' is something small children would want to do. QED.

it should be in the PC forum where, ironically, people give even less of a shit about it than they do in here.

Posting 'news' about a PC exclusive in SW is desperate attention seeking hoping beyond hope that someone will read it and be impressed that you have a PC.

Pathetic, no matter how you swing it. And yes, I have a good gaming PC and will probably buy SC if it ever sees the light of day but I won't be posting about it to people who don't give a shit.

He didn't want to. The SC news simply did it.

Prime SW material.

Funny I don't see you crying in any PS/XB exclusive info threads ;)

So,posting news about any exclusive games should be kept in the correct subforum you say

Has the thought ever occurred to you that System Wars is the busiest forum on Gamespot and more people will see something they may not be following as closely as others?

Perhaps the rules should be changed so as there are no posts at all about any system exclusives or do threads about Halo 5, Uncharted 4, Horizon etc. not count?

So the "next big step" is an empty, functionless area, with anything cool or useful still not done.

But don't let that stop you from sending in that money, kids...

For one thing, SC was broadcast here on SW This Month, there was a thread on it, nobody bitch about it, and why the hell does it matter to you? No one ask you to click the thread anyway.

On topic: I'll have to follow this tomorrow cause I'm going to a party.

It's available for download now for anyone interested. Downloading now at 4.5Mbs, which is pretty good.

This game is a joke. Just like PC gaming in general.

that is beyond ridiculous.

@lawlessx: Overly butthurt guy that hopes the game to fail when he realizes that CIG indeed does update their games instead of running away with the cash.

Why PC gaming in particular?

@MonsieurX: If this game comes to their choice of console (really LOL and good luck), then he's probably one of those who will praise it endlessly and worship its developer.

Yeah buddy, you tell him! This is System Wars!

This is where the adults post.

Get it straight...only mature, serious business is allowed in these hallowed threads.

Well I guess I should go recover my login password again...... I swear I should just write the damn thing down somewhere.

Ships flying around you look great. They don't have a set path it seems. They randomly fly and move in between buildings. Hard to see same path being used again. And none of them disappear after moving away from screen.

Sounds like a whole load of nothing.

The PC forum is dead.... much like most of this entire site/forum .. .SW is the biggest forum.

Star Citizen is a System Exclusive and will be used as ammo.

Don't like the updates? don't fck*ing read the threads.

Video games are really cool.

@blueinheaven: Most threads on SW have nothing to do with system wars nowadays. Forums are dead anyway. Besides, my last update on SC was 2 weeks ago about the Gamescom presentation.

I coudl actually make a shit ton of threads for all the updates CIG gives, but i try to keep for big stuff and try to keep most info on the most recent threads.

Hell, i asked for a SC sticky because of this. So, no.

Here's a video touring ArcCorp.

There's also a new design post about Electronic Warfare:

Finally, a post about the Social Module launch:

Includes a preview of the Nyx landing:

A little annoying having to download the entire launcher again, instead of updating.

Not to worry though it's only 30Gb and with the back end being much improved it'll only take 25mins

@deadline-zero0: Holy Sh*t. Dat Nyx preview.

that looks awesome for the landing zone

What about Sony, MS, Nintendo exclusives? Btw what're you doing in PC related thread?

Music is amazing.

Now the game is only missing NPCs and nice character models (some of the stuff is planned for Citizen Con reveal). Everything else is looking impressive and improving noticeably.

citizen con my friend

So when's this game coming out? Does it even have a vague release window?

The dream is real

Getting really sick of this game.

Took a walk around ArcCorp yesterday and was quite impressed by how great it looks. Loved the sense of scale and the view. Too bad there isn't really anything do to in there right now but it's a first step.

And holy crap that Nyx preview looks fucking amazing. Nice to see that CIG finally met a deadline lol, hope they'll do the same with Star Marine and the multicrew.

End 2016 is the current goal but they plan to release the first part of the singleplayer end of this year, I don't think that has changed yet.

Seems like I've been reading about this game forever. Is it ever going to be done?

It's only been in development for 3 years and they started off with a very small team, have patience bro.

TLG been into development for almost 10 years and almost five years since its last appearance before the press, with a much bigger budget than ICO or Shadow of the Colossus however I don’t hear PS4 fanboys bitching about it ....

It's and entirely open development cycle. They've talked about it from start-to-finish, which the vast majority of game developers/publishers do not do... Only Square-Enix comes close, by announcing games 5 years before release.

Not just first part. The entire campaign will launch at once. It's called Squadron 42 Episode 1 because it's first part of trilogy and they can't called sequels Squadron 42 2 and Squadron 42 3. Squadron 42 is Squadron 42 Episode 1 (like Star Wars Episode 4 and not like The Walking Dead Episode 1).

LOL! Social Mod.... What a bunch of truly talented scam artists, glad they will never get another dime from me.

i agree completely. damm them for developing the game we pledged and for giving us feedback/updates on a daily basis

/sarcasm

@lawlessx: Have fun waving at people for the next three years, but I guess that is why you pledged right?

What the hell are you even talking about?

@phantomfire335: Oh I am sorry, is waving broken in the social mod? Hey, give them time right, they will get right on it.

@Wasdie: Your an idiot mod, your opinion is like a bucket of broken dicks, fanboy.

Omg they showed off one part of the game, but now its the whole game!

Troll confirmed. joined 4 days ago? plz.
