Star Citizen 3.23.2 Finally Physicalizes Inventories & Creates "Real" Cargo Hauling | Feature Watch 

I'm mostly wondering if strip looting is going to work anymore. In the current patch you can clear a bunker or a settlement the really quickly dump suits, armor, etc into the local/vehicle inventory no problem. We still haven't seen how thats going to work with physicalisation. As a loot monkey I'm a little worried. For cargo it'll be interesting but I hope it doesn't break the looting loop.

I'm glad, but everything is so clunky and slow. So easy to meet a game ending bug like random ship explosions or falling through planet. This is going to be even worse. We spend so much time of the game loop doing time sink, like taking several trains just to get to your ship. Taking several trains to just sell cargo. Get disconnected you don't even log back in at your ship. Just more grind.

​@@allhailourmediaoverlords7824 I honestly agree. People think this sounds cool, but its going to be a serious drag if we really have to order a helmet and undersuit anytime the game kills us because it cannot function properly for longer than 15 minutes. Imagine how HORRIBLE its going to be when it takes you ~20minutes to get your ship out and your armor on, only for you to sink through the hangar and into the abyss - where you lose absolutely everything you had and all the time spent solely because the game thought modifying the already broken enough hangars was a 'fun' idea.

Great vidoes bud, you really do a good job with them. I am going to be the odd man out here, looks like most comments support this update, so here goes. I feel that most players will not like this. Its a video game, not a simulation. Things like inventories in games need to be quick and simple, easy to move collected gear and items around. This is just another thing that SC is doing to add steps to things that should not have steps. It already takes FOREVER to get your ship launched, especially with friends. Attempt to log in, close game and try to log in again, success! Leave room, elevator, run to terminal, call ship, elevator, run to ship, open hangar, blah blah. Oh personalized hangars are only in major cities?! Oh yay! Add in tram time too!! whoo!!. What...server crash?!! Reset all of that. This update only adds to that already ridiculous amount of time we spend running through long hallways for no reason, elevatoring, tramming, inventorying. SC literally made the pathways we run around on in the cities so spread out only for a time sink. Why are there only ASOP terminals in ONE place? Time sink. Why does every city have virtually the same distance to run to get to a TTD? Time sink. With this inventory/cargo update, we will have an extra terminal to mess with. Use terminal to get tractor beam, load boxes, move boxes, on and on. This does not sound like fun to me. Having to wait around while your ship gets filled does not sound like fun. Having to move all my gear into boxes and then move the box into my ship does not sound like fun. It sounds like another time sink with unneeded steps, just to make things like launching a ship take longer, or buying cargo. Its like having to switch from SCM mode to Nav mode...why did we need this? nobody will ever know. It has felt to me for a long time that the updates to this game or mostly just updates that make things take longer. This would be great if we had the option to use either the internal ship inventories we have been used to, OR use the new boxes. If you wanna RP it, cool, use the time sink box. If you would rather spend your time actually flying and whatever, cool, use the internal inventories. I am fairly confident that if CIG gave us this option, the overwhelming majority of players would not take the box route. This change is going to cause soooo many problems while trying to do basic things and greatly reduce the time we spend doing the fun stuff in the game. We will not be able to hit "I" and look at inventories anymore, just think about that. We will have to run to another damn terminal, to see our stuff. Just to see it!. Then we will have to go through several steps to be able to equip it, or use it. Ridiculous in a video game. The video they posted shows a guy donning a helmet via a terminal. How is that different from donning said helmet via the "I" inventory? Answer...time sink. We will have to get to a terminal and access it to put on a helmet. This inventory change will initially be liked, because it is new a shiny, but then very shortly after be very, very unpopular, mark my words. Or I will be dead wrong and a year from now one of you can add the "this aged well" reply to it, haha! Love the vids Tomato, keep it up.

@@Schmeeda-wt9wm youre going to need to buy empty containers and then fill those instead of the magic ship inventory. you can actually already do this now and I believe its considered the better option, as it makes selling a lot quicker.

It is part of life. We lived in the caves and we will live in the caves soon in the future.

@@SuperGT3.2V6 Not me. I'm going to live in a hole in a mountain side.

This comment gave me flashbacks, sweet memories I hope you all had as well.😊

@GeneralC4 You're god damned right there's only one of me.

I will race my Greycat around in circles just to remember what once was.

Ya more important then reworking the inventory

@@frogger2011ify Would be nice, but maybe that was part of the reason.

SKILL ISSUE!

it is going to be a shitshow XD

@@GAExperience skill.issue yes. 1 - drop soda on the ground by draggingnit. 2 - move on FPS + interactive mode 3 - pick UP your soda 4 - open thé bottle and drink This IS simple ! In donthe same thing in Real life 🐒

Was running one of those evict illegal occupants missions, and in the middle of the gun fight I take cover to heal and when I tried to draw my gun again it would come in my hand and as I go to shoot it turned into my medpen…. I was heavily under fire and it wasn’t a good time for game to scuff

Because you see the soda in your backpack, but its not really there ... ;-)

...yeah, why are those side doors still not opening!

I would like an automated cargo loading service, similar to loading the Hull C currently, where it takes a while, and later on CIG can add the people and animations later. 678 SCU on the C2, the currently most popular hauler, would be a pain, even with a crew and still being able to use tractor beams with unlimited lift capacity.

@@Mikalentthere will be auto loading at bug facilities and 678 scu isn’t too bad when you are using 32 scu boxes

I suspect this is the groundwork for all of that.

Dont get your hopes up we wont have Pyro this year. And definitely wont have a 3rd system in the next 2 yrs.

xD *bahahaha....that was a good one. Not like I haven't heared such hopeful theorizing for years already.

He is almost like having our own Barry White in the Stanton System. I wonder if he can sing?

That's the point it's a full immersion game

@@jtkoontz69 the point is to make a game that only streamers and the unemployed can play? glad it's not my $700M on the line..

@jello4479 there is elite dangerous

@@jello4479 you can play starfield

@@jtkoontz69soon you’ll have to file your taxes in game. And server rebounding will cause you to trip due to shoe lace tying being a feature. Do you actually need irl tedium to be immersed?

unfortunately physics don't matter in this game anymore. Master Modes took care of that.

This used to be the case. Weight of cargo mattered. I'm not sure if MM changed it or not. But I'm sure it will be relevant.

​@eddiepatch2 actually master mode was because of physics

Artificial gravity makes weight distribution irrelevant, not to mention the game doesn't need to be more of a pain in the arse than it already is both to make and to play

Just play some thing else until they get this stuff sorted the game is a time sink anyways atm and most things are placeholders.😂

As somebody who purchased the Drake Ironclad (Yes I know, but I got a 1,000 bonus for performance) amd it would be horrible to load an Ironclad from one of the outposts. I know for the outposts you would probably want a smaller ship, a C1 or a Tarus, but the Ironclad can land planetside, and the Hull class can't (past the Hull B I think) and I'm gonna use it.

There will be probably trafic jams at all ouposts with cargo ships using all pads all the time.

@@sebc8938 Space Jams

And the people leaving ships blocking others for the LoL’s.

Stacking boxes in my vulture gives me anxiety. If you don’t place them right they start jiggle around or throw themselves at me

This will definitely be a source of frustration until stability improves imo

I agree. I think that's one of my biggest concerns about the game. There seems a very real lack of respect for player time, as well as a gap between how much the game expects us to respect its time. For example, the game might expect me to sit around doing nothing for 13 minutes in quantum travel, but if I spend 15 minutes AFK it drops me, causes me to respawn at some space station, and also causes me to lose my active contracts. As well as potentially even losing a ship filled with cargo.

the inventory for gear and food will be removed. at cargo centers you can purchase inventory boxes that can be placed on your cargo grid, where you can store stuff. if you dont want that, just put your stuff somewhere else, like your food on a table or gear in an armor stand, weapons in gun racks etc

@@diliscollective9743 That's the point I was getting at, like for example. I thought it would be nice to have a fury on my c2 as I did my cargo runs. Turns out it took away from my total scu about 20%. I would assume if you loaded down the habitable areas with items it would do the same. If not then the ship should in theory have a seperate scu pool that it has a limit of.

You load it in a box, move it to your ship and physically move it to the next station.

@@FuriousImp yay for us! Thanks.

@@robinrichards6275 As I understand it you'll have to move it into the cargo elevator inside the hangar and send it to storage.

It's always been planned

@@Skuggihestur Cool. That has nothing to do with the question I asked though.

Irrelevant. This was no secret if you don't find it fun you shouldn't of bought the game 🤷 5 years ago you should of asked

@@Skuggihestur I haven’t purchased the game lol. It’s okay if you can’t answer my initial question. It was just an honest question about what is actually fun in games.

Depends, for a casual player that expects the game to be fast via menus? Most likely not For people that actually bought and stick to the game for the immersion? Most likely it will stay fun

You mean stuff they have planned/promised from the start....

@@vamperic a bad idea that's 10 years old is still a bad idea

@@jello4479 A bad idea according to you, goodluck with that

@@vamperic I'll wager that most current players and potential future players quickly grow tired of managing their (sometimes massive) inventories in a physicalized way.

@@jello4479 That's nice, the children can go play ED or something if they want dumbed down

Every ship that is considered a "cargo" hauler, will go on sale.

Gotta buy an ironclad. hornet showed it's easier for them to sell you a new ship than to fix old ones or even start on the backlog.
