Those barriers are easily fixed, give them 5k hull hp instead of unlimited hull hp
I will forward the issue with the barriers to the Devs.
well 5k hp is totally wrong, limited health - yes, probably, or unlimited hp but longer CD?
Ok, finally played half a dozen matches in T2 after getting home.
This. Is. Utter. Bullshit.
Between facing Rank 9 ships and complete MORONS, this game has become… terrible. That’s the only word I can use to describe it, at this point. It’s like you’re flying a paper ship and they have the scissors. I could blame it on bad flying skills if it weren’t for the 5 Fear Me medals I got in the process and top score in my team. Not just my team, though, lowest I reached was 3rd overall place.
If you can preform better than most players, it doesn’t sound like the patch was bad, but rather everyone else being alot less skilled… and i dont know how that could possibly have happened.
They should fix matchmaking though, the game dont have huge waiting times, so it shouldent be a problem to make games one tier only.
So, this is vaguely problematic: as someone who plays this game exclusively through Steam, the patch doesn’t seem to have been pushed forwards. My client is set to auto-update, but every time I check the game, not only can I not force the update, but I can’t actually find any method of getting around this.
I’m aware that the launcher is out there, and tried it, but it wanted to reinstall the game altogether, not something I’m willing to spend my already flimsy bandwidth on.
Also, although it’s pretty simple to find the new packs on the normal SC site, it would be nice if the packs were also thrown out onto steam, for those of us who enjoy centralizing our gaming experience. (Or, at least, a rough ETA?)
Oh, so [pirate DLC] also reserved to non-steam players?
HAHAHAHAHA
This game just keeps getting better and better…
The DLC will be available on Steam soon. Gaijin’s site updates faster.

Ah, I see. My bad, then.
Hmmm, my steam doesnt autoupdate? I cant play because im still on 0.8.3. What is happenning?
Check if your starconflict is in auto udapte mode in steam.
Restart steam can also work. I don’t know why but sometime it’s take time to steam to detect upload.

THAT’S NOT EVEN THE POINT!!
-
On the only Domination match I was in, 4 people brought ONE ship. They instantly died on the FIRST Beacon we attacked and went “WHY CAN’T I RESPAWN!!!?” and immediately disconnected.
-
The only Recon match I played, our captain was in a Katana (all my matches were T2, btw) and the enemy team had a Kite, Katana-S, Anaconda-M and a few other Rank8/9 ships. We lost because my team seemed to be comprised of full blown xxxx (no, sorry, that’s not the correct term, it’s “mentally challenged”, my apologies) that kept suiciding themselves at the hands of the enemy superior T3 team.
-
Two Detonation matches that ended miserably because everyone kept focusing on killing the most ships instead of picking up the bomb and taking it to enemy stations. It was as if they didn’t even xxxx know what a bomb was. IN T2! AND HALF MY TEAM HAD T3 SHIPS!
-
Two Beacon Hunt matches that went 50/50. The first one was a horrible, humiliating loss of 0>1. And I picked up all 3 beacons that gave us that 1. The second was ok, at best. I ended up in 3rd and still half my team was scattered halfway across the map. “Take B beacon.” “nope, I’ll just go to C and set us up for the next one.” “Dude, B just spawned, what’re you doing!?” “We’re taking C, man, relax” “… *facepalm*”
And this was my day, today. I figured I’d call it a day after completing all my contracts.
Well done, devs. Your matchmaking system… Godamn…
How do i put the autoupdate option on?
EDIT: Nevermind, there is an article updating, not sure if thats STar conflict tho
You’re right, restarting steam did the trick.
@ LautaNull: right click on the game in your “Library” window, and it’s pretty much the only box you can check in the Updates tab.
If i have to play realistic forever, you can see me leaving this game.
I didnt see anything in th egame that i didint like, but now, you clearly made the game bad.
I sincerely hope i dont have to play realistic forever!
EDIT: Well i will take it eventually, but i dont like it a lot!
No fixes to loot system? Seriously? Hopefully they get to that sometime, that’s my biggest issue with this game as of late: The fact that winning is pretty much useless with the fact that “Oh, 3 loot attempts? Still don’t get anything anyways…”
Playing with the new patch and it feels even more pay to win than it was before, surprisingly enough. Making me want to quit the game and just suggest other’s stay away from it…
Yup, still crap. Good job on ruining the game guys, not fixing what needs to be fixed instead of ‘fixing’ stuff that isn’t even broken.
If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it ffs.
Now if you’ll excuse me, going to make a long post why no one should play this game because the developers have their head stuck up their collective asses.
In fact, Realistic mode pop randomly as all other gamemode.
You will still be able to play detonation/Domination/BeaconHunt/Combat Reconnaissance and sometime you will engage a realistic battle.
They put realistic as another kind of gamemode.

Ahh, thank you!
I just hope its not very common
This is why avery game should get a farum of its own!
so, this game is dead…
i cant play with my friend(s)…i am on vanguard/ fed rank 5 and he is on wardens/ emp rank 4…he has vanguard already on rank 6 so he doesnt want to pay the “fee” for the contract to switch to the same faction as i am and i understand that obviously…to mention we are both federation in general (+5%, +5%? hull and shield)…
first of all i thought it was a bug, like “ERROR” said but it seems it isnt…tested it about 20 times…there is no way a can play with him…the error in the chatwindow said one of us is playing for the wrong race…
with my other college on same contract like me i had no problems at all…
i still hope its a bug or it will be changed soon because this is f***** up…bring back old arcade for small squads like me and my friends and the other people who dont want to play this game 12h a day…for me it looks like u force people to join the big corbs…
i am so angry right now because i invested real money for a t3 premium ship to save the rediculous repair-costs AND sometimes they are higher now because u have to play realistic-mode…another game-breaker in my opinion…
another thing: i tried to create a custom pve lobby but i cant invite my friend to custom battle…why? he just doenst get any invite or something else… plz dont tell me we have to switch to same contracts for pve? otherwise i have to laugh and “cry” at the same time…
i still hope to wake up and say to myself: “why would anybody want to destroy such a nice game like that?”
Did I miss something? Why was Arcade pvp taken out in favor of forcing us to do Sector conquest?
The whole reason we played arcade is because there was there was far less stacking than in conquest. I recently switched to Jericho contracts and playing sector conquest gives me the same opponents who are 500+ rating above the team I am playing with. I do not think that you have the player base yet to match make based on factions because it limits the pool of players you can use to form teams (if you want to do it in a reasonable time) and results in far more one sided games.
Bring back Arcade please.
OKAY…so…Im a vacation. Wont be back until Wednesday night…and What do I see?
Controls
New option : Free aim
- Allows you to fire anywhere without turning the ship
- Hold down the corresponding button to use the mode
- This mode is not assigned to any button by default
- You can find the option in the Key Binds menu, View section
This has to be…uh…useful to frigates. (Technically you can park on top of a beacon and fire around like a turret…)
Also, I have yet to see the Pirate DLC…and someone did say it, given the money its not worth it…
Also, I see a lot of people raging again on this patch. Can you guys give it at least 24 hours total play time to give it a through once over?
I want to make this a great game too, but I sensing a lot of PERSONAL OPINIONS with no backing of facts, stats, or thorough tests. Please guys, when I come back, I expect to see detailed suggestions…

It didn’t matter last patch. Everyone was thrown together whether you were playing sector conquest or arcade they were all the same games. You could even end up on the same team as someone in the opposite faction as you in sector conquest. So it’s really just the same as it was before except that arcade isn’t an option anymore.

Kinda hard to when the results in the patch are the exact opposite to what was stated and the problems are blatantly visible after just a handful of games. Frig balls have become far more powerful then before as engineers got massive sweeping buffs in this patch, new bugs were introduced that are being brutally abused (ability to hide repair stations in beacons and rocks), realistic mode means 7-10 min of sitting on your xxxx behind the rock doing nothing in the “endgame” and so on.
That’s what pisses me off the most. It really doesn’t take long to see the problems - so many of them are of “in your face” variety. Why weren’t they vetted out by supertesters before release?
guard drones in asteroids too.
