How I Became A Solo Pirate In Star Citizen

Рет қаралды 9,234

Ай бұрын

So I have once again lost the ability to receive PvP Bounty Hunting contracts. They've just disappeared again and nothing seems to bring them back so I decided to seek out other emergent gameplay scenarios in Star Citizen and become a solo pirate. Please enjoy this tale of highs, lows, fails and successes as I try to become a solo pirate.

That looked like quite the adventure. Star citizen really is a game where you have to make your own fun.

You really do have to make your own fun since there is nothing but FPS on the ground or in a ship.

Got to love the wonky physics of Star Citizen. In deep space if a ship is in motion but not accelerating or decelerating (as yours wasn’t, it was just steady cruise), you should come out and move at the same speed, not insta down to zero. I hope they eventually fix that some day because it’s beyond dumb that this happens.

There is a mode Called decoupling, wich prevents your ship from stopping just like that.

@Libertas_P77 4 күн бұрын

@@Trillineatus No, this occurs in decoupled mode too. Go speed up to maximum speed in space, go decoupled and hop out of your ship and see what happens. You should be able to move around the ship at that speed, but you’ll see the ship fly off and you somehow instantly are at zero speed. Wonky fake physics.

Very enjoyable experience and video style. Loved the part where you learned cruise controll the hard way. I assume everyone HAS to go trough such an experience at one time. Mine was going to get a drink, just to come back to my ship impacting the planet :D

SC: please man just make me playable, fix the jankiness and the 5 year old issues that keep coming back RSI: we have changed the combat system and flight system! its now entirely different, and we have added a new storage system to replace the storage system! and gods is this getting old fast - bro, it got old 3 years ago

Got to say, I clicked on your vid due to the genuine nature of the thumbnail-no clickbait, real screenshot, no AI, artistic layering & emphasis, etc. I was not disappointed! The immersion level, cheeky self-deprecation humor and lack of awareness of everyone made this a riot. Thank you for taking the time to do this video, as well as being one of the very small percentage of folks to be an ACTUAL pirate of opportunity, rather than a murder hobo, griefer or bored person wanting an adrenaline rush and control fix. o7 Gonna go out on a limb here and say your style has the potential to cross over well with Voidude of Voidy vids, and you should show him this, as there is a serious chance he'd work with you in the future if you are so inclined. Tell him the ridiculous commenter ChaosCorgi sent ya. XD Edit: I don't even do PvP bounty hunting contracts as they are usually a waste of time from running/armistice camping or a sweaty annihilator, BUT-if you haven't tried having someone share PvP contracts with you to try and fix it, I'd be willing to give it a shot. Not that I want the piracy to stop or anything lol. Let me know!

@Lofty_o7 Ай бұрын

Hey Corgi, really appreciate the comment - I wouldn't usually pirate as I say so this was more of an experiment in gameplay more than anything else. This was my first time trying anything like this outside of the usual 'good guy' morality of full loot PvP; with bounty hunting the game is telling you to do it whereas this is just me having a crack at it. It means a lot for you to comment though so thank you, I would definitely appreciate trying to fix my mobi issue, my ingame is OneZeroBlack, and yeah I watch Voidy a lot, probably where most of the inspiration for this came from actually haha for I too am a Maze and railgun ammo addict. But yeah hit me up if you can find me, I'll join Voidys discord under this username too

Camping at one of two places where you can buy RMCs? (while the other two places are bugged..gg,CIG).. Just do the Summit1G and go to Sea of Thieves or something. (Solo) PvE players already have enough struggles in this game trying to make good money with hauling, without losing everything to 30k or a frame-drop-crash-into-hangar, just so they can afford ships which cost almost twice as much now. Don't force your "PvP" (tbh: griefing) on others just because you're bored. Just change the game or do something different.

In the first clip with the C2, you can see the wreckage of my cutty black destroyed. That was literally my first trip to Rappel where I took out some NPCs so yes, technically I did have an s38 pistol but not on me, and certainly not enough ammo to kill anyone. What smells fishy about this? Do you think I set it up? Setting up not pirating someone... Seems reasonable
