4/5/2016: SC_Testers PTU_Discussion

Toysrme - 03/18/2016
@everyone https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/322807/2-3-0-published-to-ptu#latest

no real noteable meta changes.
Most power-plants now have many times (4-5 times) previous levels of signature output on EM and IR bands
a few minor IFCS type changes to the aurora (nothing important. like cruise time moving from 15sec to 17sec)
some of the thrusters on some ships had radical changes like the Freelancer & star farer engines, etc

a lot of the hardpoints for ships with the "new" style of having multiple shields have returned (previously removed because that was a broken mechanic)
^but the multiple shields hav not returned (only the hardpoints)

Turrets are SIGNIFIGANTLY slower across the board. fighter turrets not as amuch. ship turrets (connie/tali) much more so. Tali turrets are sloooow

FPS player armor (your outfit/class) has slightly adjusted speed scales for the different armors(edited)

holy shit. Khartu-al is flight ready!

2.3 flight modle?
March 19, 2016
RedMenace - 03/19/2016
@[RS]Draugr BearBlood no changes to the FM. Not sure about specific ship changes yet. Toys is doing an XML compare.
[RS]Draugr BearBlood - 03/19/2016
damn well hopes lie with 2.4 or 3.0 then
[RS] Defanos - 03/19/2016
According to Toys alot of ship stats have changed
[RS]Draugr BearBlood - 03/19/2016
as in thrust
and jerk values
lol
first wave give it time man
[RS] Defanos - 03/19/2016
no im done giving time
😛
RedMenace - 03/19/2016
I know they didn't change any of the thruster characteristics of the Gladius. I've already tested that and it's the same numbers as before other than the slight drop in top speed.
Toysrme - 03/19/2016
moved changes to top post
[RS]Draugr BearBlood - 03/19/2016
they slowed down turrets?
I hope this is not a attempt to balence them
[RS] Defanos - 03/19/2016
anyone know where the new weapons are?
[RS] Sertzu - 03/19/2016
@[RS] Defanos they should be around Yela
[RS] Defanos - 03/19/2016
Zyloh - Today at 2:06 AM
Known issue list menti ons
they are missing from the build
Will be added in the next ptu patch
It's a bug that the assets were not included in the build

[RS]Arc_Tander - 03/19/2016
Desync still pretty bad in Crusadrer for me. Couldn't see an opponents fire, and he rubber banded a bit
A3ATOT - 03/19/2016
@[RS]Arc_Tander what was your fps?
[RS]Arc_Tander - 03/19/2016
About 25 just then before a balck screen CTD
Has been as low as 15 on wake up, but seemed to stabllise byt he time I got outside
[RS]Arc_Tander - 03/19/2016
Code 8 timeout.
A3ATOT - 03/19/2016
it goes up and down for me, now 5-28
15 mostly
and can't get it why, my CPU and GPU are loaded 50-70% all the time(edited)
[RS]Arc_Tander - 03/19/2016
Server?

AdamParker-CIG - 03/21/2016
o7 hi all
how is stability and performance on 2.3?
[LF]nimrod77 - 03/21/2016
Crashes a bit for me. Usually get about 20 mins in Crusader.
AdamParker-CIG - 03/21/2016
it appears the Yela weapons might cause the server to crash, but we're looking into it
so if one person goes after them, the whole server could die
[RS]Arc_Tander - 03/21/2016
Hi Adam, I can't comment for now as I haven't been on since Saturday evening, but then it crashed a lot for me (about 10 minute sessions).  FPS was low, about 15 was the lowest I had, max 30. One instance had 15 upon waking up. Desync was occurring, couldn't see my opponents fire. Will test again tonight (in 7/8 hours) for you.
[LF]nimrod77 - 03/21/2016
I was at Yella Looking for those weapons last time I crashed FWIW.
Yeah, desync is still terribad.
I hadn't found them though.
[RS] Star_Wraith - 03/21/2016
Yeah I had terrible FPS too
About 10/15 fpd
Fps
When the server is fresh, though, I go at 60 without many problems
Looks like FPS drop starts as soon as pirates start spawning in Yela(edited)
Delore - 03/21/2016
i was in yela, catched the sniper rifle, after that (5 min later) i arrived on kareah and huge dsync and crash
RedMenace - 03/21/2016
@AdamParker-CIG for me crashing in 2.3 is lots more frequent than previous builds.
AdamParker-CIG - 03/21/2016
we think this is related to the new weapons
grabbing the sniper rifle seems to have a chance of crashing the server
RedMenace - 03/21/2016
Good deal : )
[RS] malogos - 03/21/2016
performance seems to be much worse than previous PTUs... getting into a dogfight is a desynced slideshow right now

[RS] d0e - 03/21/2016
Absolutely, if say mousing over the individual values showed the previous version's settings that would be amazing. Even just a side by side comparison would be invaluable and time saving for anyone trying to make comparisons.
Talking about @LuckyKo 's suggestion 😃
March 22, 2016
Baior of Red - 03/22/2016
Wonder if we will get some dramatic Khartu-Al changes, kind of needs it.
Silly - 03/22/2016
I hope so
On one of the 10 fors it was stated that it should go 270. At the time, the Hornet was going 200. If the concept is for the KA to be 35% faster than a Hornet it should be going 297 (call it 300 for fun) and be able to manuever at speed. Then, we can start looking at other balance considerations.
HerrMatthias - 03/22/2016
Work is going positively splendid! 😃
Zyloh couple of minutes ago
RedMenace - 03/22/2016
Could he be a little more vague?
Toysrme - 03/22/2016

paraphrasing a zyloh quote after his promoption, "I'm in that happy medium between "na i'm busy doing QA work" and "na I'm busy doing community work"". rotflmao! classic xD

Found that Avenger Warlock got an update to the displays. Still not finished. But looks better. Hud now completely missing.
[RS] malogos - 03/22/2016
@Baior of Red  you know that the IFCS values are placeholders, right?
Baior of Red - 03/22/2016
@[RS] malogos As far as?
Baior of Red - 03/22/2016
Oh, you are talking about the Khartu.  I assume they cut and pasted some values from various locations, broke the lateral thrust in the process maybe, though it does have its own handling quirks not present on other ships so its tough to say.
[RS] malogos - 03/22/2016
copy/pasted from the hornet

I'm faily certain that was just a temporary way to fill it out
RedMenace - 03/22/2016
What then accounts for the different performance? Specifically the massive difference in lateral thrust?
Baior of Red - 03/22/2016
I am not sure what all of those categories mean, its possible those could all be scale and max type of destinctions that effect the slope and shape of the acceleration curve.
Or the thrust curve, but how that translates to ship motion is based on thruster position, mass, and other factors not found on there that end up creating a difference, I don't really know.

Apparently the Khartu didn't have mav thrusters...
[RS] DEEDEE-101 - 03/22/2016
haha
it wasnt supposed to
funny though
CIG found out they cant disengage Newtons laws of Physics
and a Ship with 4 Thrusters in a plane cant access 6 Degrees of freedom
lol
jsut lol
RedMenace - 03/22/2016
You can see them
They modeled them.
And yeah.. articulated thrusters was a neat idea, but
FAIL
[RS] DEEDEE-101 - 03/22/2016
100%
should been clear since cutlass
RedMenace - 03/22/2016
That's when they figured it out for sure.
boop!
[RS] DEEDEE-101 - 03/22/2016
hehe
RedMenace - 03/22/2016
No AC?
Baior of Red - 03/22/2016
Apparently it still doesn't
Handles the exact same
[RS] DEEDEE-101 - 03/22/2016
AC is up
and fine
just did a few tests against loki
just nobody playing
Baior of Red - 03/22/2016
I really like the new boost noise on the scout.
But the HUD overlay has the peek in that the Vanduul has, only its identical, which makes zero sense and just seems kind of lazy.
Diamondback - 03/22/2016
Hey, @Zyloh  or any of you guys from CIG, any way to find out who's doing code on the Avenger? Several people I know found an interesting Undocumented Feature on  the Warlock, and while I'm personally hoping y'all will keep it it also comes with a bug
RedMenace - 03/22/2016
Yep. Khartu is exactly the same. Do like the audio.
Now there's gltiched engine trails that weren't there before.
March 23, 2016
[RS] Star_Wraith - 03/23/2016
I have only an Aurora MR and the PTU Khartu-Al, not sure if I should actually play AC in this PTU :(
Speedbrake - 03/23/2016
The artists come up with a concept, the designers have their input and once the 3D artists and riggers have finished it they hand it to John Pritchett and say 'make this fly'.  He must take a look at some of these ships and fall about laughing sometimes.  Poor guy.  Well I hope they dont make it fly the same as every other ship is all I can say.
[RS] DEEDEE-101 - 03/23/2016
Apparently it takes 2 years and a failed ptu flight test to find out that 4 thrusters in a plane cannot serve you with 6dof(edited)
Delore - 03/23/2016

im afraid not, once a server gets it, its done for
id say to try and avoid it, but since the repro steps are "lol now there are many pirates" thats not really useful advice

I usually just try to kill them all like everyone else, which probably isn't helpful.  Could probably do it if it wasn't for all the 350Rs they spawn, they have the worst of the 300 series invuln issues. lol  Takes forever to kill one.

I heard the other way. "We have a certain level of material penetration so it's possible to take out a pilot inside a ship" was an answer about Starfarer or something..
RedMenace - Last Wednesday at 7:34 PM
That may be the case, but what's happening now is the same bug that we saw a few patches ago.
A3ATOT - Last Wednesday at 7:34 PM
that i know, it's an old one
i am saying that it is intended to be possible, killing someone inside a ship through the hull
RedMenace - Last Wednesday at 7:37 PM
when they implement that it had better be rare, or at least due to catastrophic damage being inflicted.
A3ATOT - Last Wednesday at 7:39 PM
as far as i remember it depends on weapon power, hull condition and material between character (or a system) and the projectile.
RedMenace - Last Wednesday at 7:40 PM
and any shield mitigation I would hope.

all have effects on how far away objects draw and their level of detail, but that's game engine wide and does not over-ride the individual settings for ships (mine are jacked to the maximum with my pair of gtx-980's with very-high settings as a base. hornets, etc still go invisible, yet i rarely have even 3.4gb of the 4gb vram size)

seen lots of changes with shields, strength and regen rate, armor locked to ships with armor but still interchangeable between them (holoxplor)

@HerrMatthias i assume this raises TTK?
I have not played due to the dsync issues.
HerrMatthias - 03/12/2016
yes ttk raised much
+rubberbanding added
Perses - 03/12/2016
Unfortunate

cant confirm coz the rubber banding at all, but the 325a seems to be harder to kill...
RedMenace - 03/13/2016
I know that the 350r seemed a lot more durable.

@everyone

We know how very poorly their "recorded metrics" reflect what top-bracket pilots can achieve with "statistically the worst meta". Literally, if they came as said they didn't trust the metrics recorded in the bad rubbernanding/warping seen from v2.1.2/v2.2+ I'd think that's a fantastic answer.(edited)
I mean... We got told the sawbuck was "Statistically the least performing weapon in the game" covering q1-2015 through the end of summer. We had to explain it was considered the strongest, or second strongest loadout by top pilots for it's raw alpha-output could quickly 1-2-3 volley any fighter out of the sky (at those times)(edited)

I think that these hotfixes have wasted potential.

I played a little bit and still crashed to desktop. Maybe it helped others or the server.

how long did you manage to play for?
Toysrme - 03/18/2016
Not long. An hour and change. I'm not into seal clubbing newbies; so if there isnt a good pilot to go after in matches... I have no need to go 584-5 in matches killing baddies... yet...
