Title: Wanted: Connie LTI + Phoenix upgrade
Post by: Gorion on October 23, 2014, 08:13:31 PM
As the title suggests, I want an LTI Connie Phoenix, either as a single ship/package/non-/installed Pheonix kit.

If anyone's interested, PM please.  IF none one is, I'll use the grey market.

You will be able to CCU to a LTI Connie once it's AC ready, maybe even before if CIG change the CCU process as they keep hinting, so if someone has anything worth less than a Connie that has LTI and your happy to wait, that could be an option too ?

Don't have an idea of how or of it will even work, so of someone from the community is willing to sell, I'll go go for it.

I have your Phoenix here, awaiting collection :D

For anyone else who's interested, Gorion and I have worked out a way for us to both get our Phoenix... it was complicated, but worth it!

Ha ha!  I have my original LTI Rear Admiral which I'd upgraded to a Phoenix.  That's the one in the picture that's heading to Gorion.  Then I asked concierge to unmelt one of my older LTI Rear Admiral packages.  Then I bought a Phoenix upgrade on the grey market (which wasn't actually too bad, for my first time buying on the grey).  So we both get one and I come out slightly ahead on the deal for all the hassle :D

Ta daaa!  Two LTI Phoenixes to race across the verse, gumball rally style ;)

It doesn't matter if they pay upfront.

Just managed to finally download SC.  The download speed was horrible.

Anyway, after a year I'd say massively disappointed.  The goddamned head bobbing like it's a roller coaster ride is still there, can't find an option to remove it.  To spice it up there's motion blur, camera delay, and every time you do something the goddamned view shakes like the tectonic plates under me are blowing up.

I lasted 30 seconds, and I'm about to barf.  I'll have to see if I can find a way round console commands to fix this rubbish, perhaps later as my mind feels like it's been used as a football.

Are you using SLI?  If you are then be aware it's not tuned yet so performance sucks.  Hangar performance in general though is fine so it may be a system specific problem.

Re head bob, I thought there was an option to removed it in the settings now or is that in the next patch?  Certainly the live stream this morning showed a massively improved head bob.

No option for headbob removal, fov sliders, motion blur, and that nasty bloom.  Motion sickness is really bad in the hangar/ships, unplayable for me; my earlier session ended after less than a minute.

Using SLI, 690 here, it's not performance that is the issue though.  I tried arena commander a bit and the frame rate is fine, and there's no motion sickness problems of any kind in it.  Tried the hornet, a bit too fast on the turns for me as I'm used to a slower turning ship.  It feels like the Eagle (http://freelancer.wikia.com/wiki/Civilian_CTE-6000_Eagle_Very_Heavy_Fighter) in Freelancer, whereas I'm used to a Sabre (http://freelancer.wikia.com/wiki/Series_Z) (Ironically enough, the selling planet is name for my country).

Now I just have to figure out the reticules; gonna go watch that video you posted.

Do you have an idea if you can enable reticules and other HuD stuff whilst flying the ship while it's totally visible?  I can't pilot in cockpit view; way too confusing and that moving stick annoys the hell out of me.

There are some Autoexec settings you can hack in to disable most of the stuff you don't like:

Thanks, editing the archive ends up with SC crashing on start-up though.

Made it to wave 9, not too shabby.
