I’ve got it installed, played a bit this morning but wasn’t in the mood to put up with all the bugs
I re-installed on Tuesday, got the thing to work nice and stutter free (Process Lasso was putting the process sub-normal priority)…and now I’d love to go for the Coop missions.
That’s the thing here, with 2.0 CIG now get dirrectly all crash report from the server when you crash.
The more people crash, the faster the issue will be patched.
Bump for Bigpost’2.0 update
I worked my way through a few modes, and yes, there are bugs which definitely remind you that this is alpha state. I was glad to discover that my Aurora LN wasn’t the worst ship, the weapons which came with it make it a totally valid threat to any other starter single seater, especially if your opponent sucks at using his.
I came across the Ship loaner matrix which tells you, which ship you get as a replacement, if your ship isn’t available in game today. I am very tempted to get a Freelancer, as until 2.1 (which is due before end of this year, and which brings the flyable Freelancer to the game), you get a Constellation Andromeda to fly. I am on the brink of putting another ± 100 euros into the game, but I also have some difficulties to convince myself, because with the basic pledge money I already invested, I get full access to all the alpha features until Go-Live. I guess that the only valid point would be that with that budget, I could cross chassis upgrade (or melt unmelt) between all the < 100 euros ships and have some diversity. BTW, anyone owns one of the more expensive ships and has some feedback ?
I currently own a Cutlass (Game package), a mustang beta (Stadalone LTI), and aurora (30$ game package).
What I can teel you is that flying ‘‘Big Ship’’ is awesome.
With the current REC system I’ve flown every ship there and even tho single seater are fun to play, nothing worth a retaliator/constellation flight with friends.
Now isn’t the good time to get a ‘‘Big’’ ship IMO, shield and armor are still getting worked on (Last information we had was 3 Hornets should barely make it against a constalation, and the fight would be even against a retaliator.), Crew roles are still not fully fleshed out yet and should be super fun once build up, and turrets mechanics are getting reworked so they’ll soon compensate the pilot manouvers, making aiming more easy and Gunners life more enjoyable.
When it comes to the freelancer, this thing is a beast, and generally speaking, those big ship and a shit ton of fun to play.
And it will only get better.
Downloaded will try out over the holidays.

What do you guys think of the following two ships,
I have the Mustang Alpha but I am guessing its rubbish as a starter ship so which would you get or are there others to look at?
Dachi, first of all there is no need for you to buy one of those two ships to fly them, you can earn REC playing public matches (Vandull Swarm, and any other game mods)
The gladius is 9000 REC while the Hornet is 12500 REC, and you can easly do about 2k REC from a 30 minute Vandull swarm, or at least that’s what I’m doing with my Mustang Beta.
This said you can compare the two ships here.
Let’s say they are both fighter, and more than that good fighter.
In my experience flying the two ships, both always felt great, I’d give the edge to the Gladius, being more agile, faster, and harder to hit than the HornetG, he just fit my gamestyle better, but that just personal prefferences.
But keep in mind that the Hornet G is a Stealth ship, witch is not yet an element of the gameplay, included in SC.
Best for you should be to farm some REC and find the one you prefer by flying them.
After that, I can’t agree with you, the mustangs are awesome little ships !
You should try this first, I don’t know if that’s by default, but you still have two hardoint on the wing for S1 Weapons,
Get two of those there and get these on your turret.
If needed I’ll provide a video on how change weaponds and stuff.
Last Tip I can give you with the Mustang and to set your weapond this way, by default all weapons fire at the same time, What I like to do is set my Wings Bulldogs to MB3, and each one of the gun of the turret to MB1(Left) and MB2(Right).
More than helping with heat managment it helps keeping DPS on the target, and is in my experience more effective this way, since when you miss usualy you miss both shots.
Hey man Cheers for the info I will try and get to grips with the game as I couldn’t even figure out how to interact with the merchants haha or get in my ship but I hopefully will see other people playing it over the holidays and will be able to pick your brains about it.
To get new weapons just get some REC, Log to the webite and go there Electronic Access- Roberts Space Industries | Follow the development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42.
Then relog into your hangar and the new weapond will apper on the holotable.
To fix the preset for Crusader, launch first a game with arena commander.
[user avatar=“https://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/4417969/avatar/small.1551569572.png” name=“Tiloup”]4417969[/user] , thanks for the REC tip, I didn’t know that you could use them to fly other ships. I have to check out how it really works. Some features of the alpha are definitely not straight forward and skimming the forums is an abysmal task.
I’d be your guide for this awesome journey 
Hellfire and Tiloup grab when I’m online really wanna get to grips with this game has been good so far.
Got this game installed 2 days ago to check how it performs on my new hardware, but I still get shit framerate (~10-15 fps on lowest and 800x600). That is quite unplayable…
I’ve got a kickstarter founder package with Aurora MR.
Abuk, allow me to help you the way I helped myself…because it was quite low for me…and you can keep your 1080p…one moment…
Well, I can’t find the one I used, but this one seems legit. There are a ton of options to cut down on resource gnawing in the config files. These are pretty balanced and still look nice:
WAIT WAIT WAIT !
Bored gamer made a new one.
Yesterday.
There.
