Hey man, I'm a backer from 2012 thanks to some of the original /v/ threads that would float around about ithe. When u put money down I told myself I'd forget about it for a few years and I did, until I rediscovered it right around 2.0 (December last year) and it honestly worked out pretty well for me; considering the scope if the game and CR's autistic need to make immersive space sims progress has been really really good. With all that said, though, I still recommend people wait until there's at least more real content before they buy it. Planets are right around the corner and I'm sure the wizards at CIG are busting their balls on this programming nightmare to make shit work.

The recent work in the Bengal made my jaw drop tho godDAMN

>>150577615

Take it from a dude who started with a 325a, I was able to get enough REC for a Super Hornet through Vanduul Swarm pretty quickly. With the SH I got other shit like the Saber and the Vanguard even quicker. Then I got an interest for racing and after reading the INN beginners guide for racing, I got the Mustang racing ship they recommended and I practiced alone for a few hours until I could go around the track without crashing a few times.

From that point I took it online and within a day I was getting 1st place quite a lot. Its actually really fun once you get it down and it's got potential to be a great money maker if you're good. I can't wait to see the fucking Grimhex track

Chris and Braben being friends doesn't mean anything to the latter's obsessive man-child following. But I'm sure SC will get its own share of man-children also. Also many of them played Elite as children, to them this is the graphically updated Elite.

Also remember, the dad's have dictated some design choices in their favor with ED. It doesn't seem like they could force the same luxury with SC. Maybe if that private server thing ever becomes a reality some of them may look into it.

I think the difference between SC's dads and ED's dads are that while in ED they believe the cobra is the end game ship and call any sort of player interaction they don't like griefing, in SC the dads revere the Bengal as the end game ship but believe they'll be untouchable once they get one for the guild.

I first and foremost wanted a Python, which I got by Sothis trading in its first, unnerfed iteration. Later on I did regular Sothis for a Conda. I'm in the same boat as you currently, I'm not filthy rich but I'm rich enough to stop worrying about grinding for dosh. I keep my Conda fitted for Sothis in case I ever needed. Mostly just fly around in my Python/Asp.

I don't do roleplaying, but I will do stupid/risky shit with disregard for monetary outcome. A few nights ago I got drunk and wanted to visit Farseer to check out some recipes. I fucked up the planetary approach and ended up 70km away. I turned off my engines to let gravity take me there and went to take a piss. Returned just in time to see my ship hit Farseer's tower at 700m/s. Felt good not giving a shit, the rebuy for an A-rank Python was a drop in the bucket.

Some carebears have realistic expectations.

Lots of eve players are carebears. They just learn the systems and adapt to play within them. The cancer begins when carebears expect developers to sacrifice game design or balance just to cater to their autistic fears.

if you're interested in spessman spess getting lost in spess in his spesscar, there's a dude who suffered a pretty serious bug where his ship exploded as he was in his buggy and instructing the ship to wait for him off-planet.

normally his buggy should have exploded as well, but it didn't. last time i read about him he was still stuck on the planet.

2/10, never ever
-5 for thinking that any game developer would allow something like this

SQ42 the reason that the PU aspect of the game, which is going to be the longest living and most dynamic part with all of the careers and player interaction, is being held back.

Maybe we just come from different gaming backgrounds but I could never see how the single player for this game is going to be more meaningful than the PU.

I'll do my best, but I'll probably miss some. So, Smart has been trying to compete with Roberts since the Wing Commander days. Him with Battle cruiser 3000AD. Every game Smart makes is an utter train wreck that gets panned and scathing reviews, meanwhile Roberts all mostly recieve critical acclaim. Additionally, all of Smarts games after BC3KAD have been the same game with new names, starting (iirc) with Universal Combat.

Now, he is so salty and has such a massive victim complex over it, he has dedicated his life to "exposing" Roberts as a fraud, using scummy tactics like yellow journalism and posting pictures of his kids and such. He got a lot of attention the first time because he used an ex-employee allegations as well as making up a bunch of shot and having his loyalists spread it. This got a bunch of "gaming journalists" to pick up on it. Then it came out it was almost entirely bullshit and now journos won't touch shit from him with a 10ft pole. Especially after all the recent updates showing new content coming soon.

His current game, Line of Defense, is so bad he started calling it a project he's doing "for fun", even though it costs money and has microtransactions.

So currently he found out Robert's wife did super tame tickle porn and tried to make that a thing, but it backfired and even people who hate SC think he's an as asshole for it.

That's as much as I can recall. He's no longer a man, but an entity made purely of salt and butthurt.

Considering one of the main reasons Elite has dads is because of the old games, I wouldn't think so. Maybe it's something inherent to space games. Maybe the dads will migrate to SC whenever the fuck it's actually released.

That's not my issue. My issue is that it just behaves like a glorified dog fighter, just really big. Corvette is one my favorite ships in the game, but I hate how FDev have treated it. I wouldn't mind if it was turned into some sort of assault vehicle instead.

Before they nerfed the turn speed on AI there was a brief period of time where the big ships actually did fight differently. You needed alpha weapons and turrets to make them work for PvE. Now that AI is borderline braindead again, you can just outfit and fly them like any other ship.

Yeah sure. And I agree with that 100%. But the problem is that, in case of the Vanguard, it was just an incredibly lazy hackjob which looks completely unlike the concept (aggressive fighter became fat spacewhale, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhiaGAnOalA) while the Sabre, developed at the same time, was originally supposed to be fast-tracked by using existing assets, yet it's entirely original. They even slapped the Sabre cockpit onto the Vanguard.
Apart from that, after the concept sale, when they introduced the variants and when they implemented it ingame they cut all the interesting features it had, resulting in many dissatisfied Vanguard owners.

>That one webm of some fat hovering creature with tiny little butterfly wings

These two concepts wouldn't bother me if this was some LSD inspired acid trip of a game, or if they even had some defined rules for shit. But they have neither of these things. I can tolerate seeing a dog with slug head, but I hate seeing what I described above.

Being fair to the game, it's probably in there but they're probably incredibly rare. Black holes are confirmed but no one has run into them yet as far as I've seen.

This has already been debunked, the guy has a release copy, so what we have seen is very close to what we will get. There will more than likely, trusting the devs, be a day one patch to change a lot of things and fix a lot of the issues that the leaks have pointed out.

I'm not sure when Star Marine will show up, but I do know there needs to be a few more FPS elements that have to be introduced in order for it to be really interesting. We have no gadgets so far. Only four two-handed guns and two pistols. And then we have two sets of armor and about 9 space suits. If anything, you'll run out of stuff to buy before you lose the drive to make money. And then for 2.5 we have GrimHEX coming up which adds new clothing and hopefully new guns. I've been eyeballing that manportable railgun.

Standalone Star Marine, probably along with the gadgets etc., will be implemented in 2.6 sometime thi year along with reworked fps mechanics.

In the PC Games article they write
>Star Marine is scheduled to release with patch 2.6 as a standalone module outside of the PU. It's specifically designed for multiplayer sessions with its own maps. "We spent a lot of time working on FPS mechanics, that will definitely be noticable in comparison to the rudimentary system in 2.4" says Roberts. The devs show us gameplay that leaves an outstanding impression. Animations, controls and weapons were overhauled to feel good for fps game players. The result: smooth motions and clean gunplay.

20 dollars. 10 for the base game 10 for the bonus grind dlc.

Yeah, I know. The whole item 2.0 thing sounds better the more they talk about it, but I was referring to those big-ass surface mounted glowing heatsinks which do look rather nice, not the internal components. Some ship concepts had those, like the Vanguard, but they never implemented it.

A few hits with 4 of those can destroy basically everything. Quad S5 hardpoints plus the ridiculous amount of missiles and the ability to have turrets and carry the fucking Merlin should put everyone who bought a combat ship on suicide watch because Roberts shipfu "freighter" outclasses all of them.

Oh, they also bolted 2 of them to the Starfarer Gemini upper turret, giving it quad gimbaled S4 and dual turreted S5 forward firepower.

The Cobra Mk4 is complete ass because of the forumdads.

>cobra mk.4
>ass in anything but its speed

how

that thing is jacked for internal slots, hardpoints and exemplifies a craft you can do literally anything in, except jump effectively, that and the velocity is its drawback and both of those can now be at least partially offset by engineers

raided cubeo like a mad cunt back in the day in one, rail guns and missiles out the wazoo. I cannot thing of a ship more dense with internals for the size.

speed is irrelevant with palin'd up imperial eagles nowadays anyhow. i can only see a Cmk.4 being absolute dogshit against something both bigger and faster than you, in which case you're fucked anyhow. i know for a fact that a clipper will eat one and shit it out on the spot.

>adding ED players to /scg/ somehow makes it less shitposting and more people who are actually excited for Star Citizen

Anyway, glad to see this thread is still going. New ATV was pretty good, I'm still waiting for more PTU content more than anything. Grimhex is fine but we need more planets to visit, and jump points themselves working, alongside trading. That's the next big make or break update.

A small ship that is literally slower than a T7. It's hard to put into words just how slow the Mk4 is.

It has shit lat thrusters and turns like a bathtub full of lead which rather defeats the purpose of the hardpoint placement.

Also 5th hardpoint, but still only a C3 distro.

May as well just use a Viper Mk4, which everyone has access to.

It's not even comparable for landing gear layout. You have to drop all the way down to a sidey to be able to land on terrain the DBS can.

Not to mention thermal management and jump range if you actually want to go anywhere.

i'm well fucking aware of how much of an absolutely worthless tub it is, but in theory it has a great deal of versatility and i've managed to put it to some decent use, so a soft spot exists even if i wouldn't touch it with steel rebar, now.

i really wish they slimmed down the cobra and just made it a partially militarized fighter vessel with superior speed to the original, more in line with the super cobra of lore; instead we got the logical conclusion of the dadbra line in a ship that any dad would die to buy. the fallacy of 'endgame cobra' comes to mind, here.

I'm pretty sure they doubled the size of all the ships for some reason. The cockpits are just so fucking massive compared to their tiny seats. It's hard to tell in 2d, but get a VR helmet and you suddenly notice that you could probably park a school bus in the Vulture's cockpit.

It's all part of the alpha bruv. Dogfighting would become whoever gets into the sights of the connie first loses, and that includes other connies. If those S5 guns are what they have been described as, there's no point in flying a vanguard, super hornet, sabre, or anything when you can very easily tank their shots. While they spend the next 3 or 4 minutes pecking your shields and engines, all you need to do is sneeze in their general direction.

This will certainly change.

It's true though. He used backer funds to buy meaningless shit. He gave his wife and himself a massive salary. (That's just what we know) he keeps the account books close to his chest and doesn't share that info with other staff. It makes you wonder what happened to all of that money. The guy has had 5 years to get something out and all we have is Olisar and 2 arena maps for space fighters.

It's gonna be just you mostly.
Most people play solo or in a private group.
Most people in open play avoid you like the plague because the current player-to-player interaction mechanics only really allow combat, so there is no reason not to run away from anyone who could potentially kill you.

You can play with us, though. Join our Discord group and we will add in you in-game.

Otherwise if you read Le Ribbit or visit the Gulag you will be horrible turned away from the game because largest portion of the playerbase is males over the age of 35.

Elite is one of the greatest games of our time. It gives the player to pursue what ever career he wants to in space.

based retard
It's confirmed by CR and various gaming "journalists" + procedural planets highlights.
>>
>>150724123
>>150724252
I meant procedural planets aren't in the player branch yet, it seems you guys are just assuming that "Procedural planets" means the system will be fully complete and have all different varieties and not just the stuff from the Pupil to Planet trailer + snowcaps on one world.
>>
>>150724479
People expect at least one procedural planet with atmo flight for 2.7, that's it.
>>
>>150724521
Right, that sounds more like it.

I hadn't seen those german scans before. Does it suggest there will be more planets? It has a map of the Stanton system from the star map, but there is no way we'd be allowed to visit all of that, considering some of those planets are inhabited and one is fucking ArcCorp. Unless they've also got landing on that planet in and have secretly built up what it looks like from space without showing anyone.
>>
>>150724724
My educated guess is that we'll probably have access to several planets, some of them without any hand-made locations at first. Later there will be new passes to polish it to its final version but I don't expect the first iteration of Stanton to have much to visit. Tbh as long as I can fly around in my space motorcycle, I don't care.

>>150719197

>>
So looking at the Stanton system in the star map, all the planets are inhabited, though there are plenty of moons. The Pupil to Planet one orbits Crusader so I guess we'll get that, and from the german screenshots it looks like they really are going to dump Levsky somewhere in stanton for us to find.

Also, Terra and Pyro are both one jump point away, so I'm guessing those will be the next too we will get once jump points are in, considering Pyro is already in the game, just needs procedural planets added.
>>
>>150727206
Probably not Terra, it's a major hub of the Empire and needs procedural cities to be working.
>>
>>150727856
It'll likely be a planet you can't fly down to the surface of, but can only auto pilot into.

They apparently had a Terra landing zone finished years ago, we've just never seen it outside one or two videos.
>>
>>150728618
>It'll likely be a planet you can't fly down to the surface of, but can only auto pilot into.
But why? There's no need for that if we have procedural planets. Even a barebones Terra with a single landing zone is better than autoguided shit.
>>
>>150728679
Because procedural cities is a huge giant ballache and a waste of development time. You won't be able to fly wherever you want on EVERY planet, they are not going to simulate the entire of Earth, for example. Planets will landing zones will just be auto pilot.
>>
>>150728824
>>Because procedural cities is a huge giant ballache and a waste of development time
Not when you need to create 150+ cities. Define layouts manually and artstyle and have an algorithm populate them.
>>
>>150728939
What you are saying is not to just make the landing zones but cover EVERY populated planet with cities, literally making an entire galaxy with 1st person fidelity?

Don't exist. The most you can do is maybe search for wings and player groups to roleplay with, but be aware that it's probably nothing like what you're thinking and isn't as good as it sounds.

I don't think you understand 3 things: How long it takes to make these things, and how much data this would take up, and how utterly useless this is. First, this shit takes forever. We all know this. Second, if every planet with major cities/landing zones (which is a fucking load of them) had the entire planet covered in randomly placed city assets like the concept art shows, the game file would be in the TB size range. That is not feasible at all. I'm okay with 250 GB at the very most, assuming all of the shit actually gets made. Lastly, this proposal is pointless. You make all of these city assets and place them around the entire planet, and for what? Only about 4 square miles of it is actually important to gameplay with stores, missions, hubs, etc. The other hundreds of thousands of square miles is nothing but fluff that is pointless to have there.

You seriously can't think that this is somehow a good idea.

>>150733361

>>
>>150733962
>How long it takes to make these things,
As opposed to manually create hundreds and hundreds of landing zones?
>and how much data this would take up,
Okay you're officially clueless. You just need the algorithm and the seed, nothing more, that's why Minecraft can generate millions of square kilometers without "much data"
>and how utterly useless this is.
Literally a kickstarter promise.
>First, this shit takes forever.
Less time than manually designing 300+ cities.
>We all know this.
You clearly don't.
>Second, if every planet with major cities/landing zones (which is a fucking load of them) had the entire planet covered in randomly placed city assets like the concept art shows
That's not even the point. Cities like Earth & Terra aren't the norm. Most planets only have a few cities on them.
>randomly placed
https://www.google.fr/search?q=procedurally+generated+city&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi5_p3gzKrOAhWDyRoKHcC8ABYQ_AUICCgB&biw=1216&bih=615

These are procedurally generated. Doesn't look like a mess, does it?

>, the game file would be in the TB size range.
No it wouldn't. Because you only store base assets, a seed (a few bytes) and the algorithm.
>That is not feasible at all.
It's like 2nd year cs project with a lot more artist time on top of it.
>Lastly, this proposal is pointless. You make all of these city assets and place them around the entire planet, and for what?
To make it more believable? Look like an actual universe.

There's no proper guilds at all. The closest things are powerplay (which is shit) and having FDev insert your group into the game as a minor faction. You can grind the shit out of the BGS to try and "take over" stations and systems with your minor faction. You can also join PvP groups and participate in wing PvP, but there's no official clan tags or anything, and the results of PvP are completely meaningless in the game world, it's just for fun.

There is nothing obnoxious about greeting my fellow commodores. Shooing somebody away like an uneducated mongrel over a honest expression of a genuine surprise over a strange general combination, however, is. Your tone suggests that you might be easily triggered over any mention of that other "game" in any negative light like a tumblerina on a Trump rally.

Both of my posts have more content than your irritated grumble. I wanted to talk about both the thread (and its metamorphose) and discuss the game and its recent changes.

I'm a bit disappointed that I missed the previous thread that obviously would have something to say about that Engie update which supposedly eased up the grind/promised more mats. You see, there is a CG about that cute robot repair over a long distance and I wanted to prepare for it and jump away before dads completely complete it.

>>150749747
So, are they becoming a power? What happened to the united alliance of dads? Did they accept it, did they get a consolation prize?

I see that all CGs now have that little text saying that UA-bombing and station state could prevent players from completing the goal. That's pretty nice, if only FDev wasn't so shocked that something finally fit together in their game.

I'd like to point out that you failed to address any of the questions or make a single valid point beyond a handful of petty insults. It's almost as if you are incapable of it.

So, mr. /edg/, I'm sorry if my brash and loud return took you by surprise—possibly traversing the vast black nothingness of spess—but I want the gritty, nasty recollection of recent events, I want to hear about dads' tears and nerds' grease release. This was never too much to ask from honest and brutal 4chan. But a thread that was created just yesterday is too shallow in scope and not that satisfying by itself.

Wow, where to even begin. Assuming infinite funding:

>Complete rewrite of the netcode. Transition over to proper servers instead of shitty P2P instancing
>Solo and Private Groups are gone, this is now an MMO
>Guild support added, guilds can own stations and territory, and, given enough pooled resources, can build stations in uncolonized systems. You can pledge to one of the three superpowers or remain independent.
>CQC integrated into main game, when you queue for a CQC match you are placed into a warzone in-universe as one of the normally faceless fighter pilots, this can be a BGS war OR a guild v guild war
>Powerplay deleted, no longer needed due to guild gameplay
>Add interesting events to the BGS, instead of just bars that move slightly up and down, the current state/government of minor factions will have an impact on what's going on in the system. Things like, "oh shit some pirates set up a base in the nearby asteroid belt," or, "oh damn there's a rebellion in progress due to the oppressive dicatorship," or, "the governor is coming to visit, sure would suck if something were to happen to him." Basically a variety of possible events resulting in "mini-stories" the players can participate in in each system, as well as persistent NPCs which have an impact on the outcomes of these situations
>NPCs become interactive, you can use pre-scripted dialogue to ask them for information, threaten them, request assistance, etc.
>You can also hire NPCs to do stuff for you, like guarding a station, running a trade route, escorting you somewhere, etc.

That seems like a decent start. I'll post more as I think of more.

I suppose limited jump range would let you explore in a tighter cluster. Take AFMU, it weighs nothing. Though planetary would require shields.

How sensitive is Orca to the weight? I was considering taking it to Jacques with cargo and mining kit for CGs (does it sell limpets, though? Catching stuff manually in Orca is PAIN).

I'm worried that I won't make it on time for the first part of Jacques CG. I'm 1 rank away from Clipper, but with Orca and 100M spesscash I could perhaps get a more boring / better fitting spaceraft for the task. Not sure if there is time to grind mats for FSD5 too. But what would YOU do?
>>
>>150757468
cont'd:

>Implement a real crime and punishment system and make system security levels matter. Murder bounty is jacked up way beyond its current levels, but minor crimes continue to be relatively inconsequential. Large bounties are visible on a bounty board, encouraging player bounty hunters to hunt down outlaws. Space cops will remember you and interdict you if you come back to their system. High sec = loads of cops, next to no criminals, Med sec = a balance of cops and criminals, Low sec = lots of criminals, very few cops, Anarchy = no cops, all criminals
>Supercruise re-worked - you accelerate to and decelerate from "travel speed" very quickly, meaning interdictions are still possible but travel is generally much faster.
>Micro-jumps between stars in a system, possible a new kind of wake to indicate this is what happened so pursuit is still possible
>Trade ships reworked, they continue to have very little in the way of offensive capability, but instead have thick hulls and well-protected internals, making them difficult to destroy
>Guilds in control of a station or system can set the laws, manipulate the markets, regulate traffic, set up trade deals with neighboring territories, etc.
>Markets are now persistent, can possibly crash completely, nearby systems are effected by commodity prices rising/falling/crashing
>Exploration fleshed out, there are now tons of procedurally generated events, oddities, and ancient ruins to find, which all give unique rewards unobtainable through other modes of play, and explorers can "plant a flag" on a system, marking them for future expansion by their guild
>Infinitely spawning pirates and warships in RES/CZs are gone, instead wars are now a series of objectives to be completed, and bounty hunting involves a lot of information gathering and hunting down of the target before the big payoff of getting the kill

AFAIK, they were asking folks for sightseeing spots around the galaxy for passenger missions which kinda demands better jump range.

>>
>>150764943

...have you never seen any other station than the Coriolis?
>>
>>150764740
All the stations have one of two different insides, a prettier Imperial looking one with palm trees and an industrial one. They are functionally the same.

On the outside the big stations consist of three designs, coriolis, Orbis and Ocellus. These three stations have different "variants". I put that in quotation marks because a variant in this game is being colored slightly differently or having big antennae attached to the outside. Once again, no functional difference between any of them. May as well be copy and pasted of just one station.
>>
>>150762697
It is true. It's a subtle change, though.
>>
>>150764943
there's at least 3 different big stations, coriolis, ocellus, and orbis, and there's also some variations on each of those shapes and color schemes

then there's at least a few variations of outposts (scientific, military, industrial, etc)

stations all look pretty much the same on the inside, though, just slightly different colors again, though there is that one shiny white style with palm trees
>>
>>150765247
>>150765464

Also, outposts do not have their pads in an "internal tube" inside the station. They basically look like a couple of apartment blocks fused together, with pads stuck on available surfaces.

>>150771109
For some reason the cryengine netcode they're using transmits data from every single object in the game, instead of just what is in your local instance. That is what is making your FPS bad in that test universe. If you try out early access you'll get full 60 fps.
>>
>>150771109
I believe it also depends on the time of day and how many people are on etc. every player multiplies the server traffic exponentially because it's tracking so much unnecessary trash that is then relayed to every other player. I had 10-20 second freezes every five feet, then I went with the Disable Motion Blur, DOF & Tweaks premade .cfg from that site and I was sitting at ~25 fps. that said I still get random freezes occasionally too, yes.

the entire netcode is being replaced, so they're not bothering to patch it until then.

>>150771904
They said on RTV earlier I believe that the catastropic damage is a static state they want wrecks you find in the PU or so to be in, with differences depending on whether it's on a planet or in space (rooms venting when you open a door in space etc.), so what they showed on ATV is not part of the procedural damage.

I always lol when people bring up development times in defense of Star Citizen.

Do you think that the other games listed there still hadn't figured out how they were going to network their game halfway or 3/4ths through their timeline? I bet it is one of the core focuses when selecting/building their egnine.

Star Citizen honestly shows a lot of signs of being in Development Hell. The Illfonic Star Marine branch just being abandoned when they discovered that integration is hard is not the behavior you would expect out of a company being managed by "industry veterans".
>>
>>150772575
Exactly the reason why I'm very worried about the project.

>>150772693
No, he should've delivered on the kickstarter promises then added all those squadrons of marines. Otherwise, it reminds me of certain porn games on patreon that can't finish a single thing and would rather rework what they already have (until they flop miserably with or without drama).

>>150772789
He didn't even promised "that much" in the first place. He kept promising more and more as he went, and the rate of delivery is such that I'll be all wrinkly and start worrying over not having a family rather than "how's SC doing" before the game sees the light. There are now talks of "minimum viable product" and that just doesn't sound right for a game that is supposed to push our horizons.

>>150772845
November 4, November 4. Shoot spacemen, fight spacebattles*!

>>150772956
He has the money, some devs quit and personnel numbers seem to go down and nobody to keep him in check. We should try to push the boundaries but under a good project manager. Unfortunately, cool shaders and filters, annoying "immersion" animations don't count as such. Elite, when it finally gets around to get off its chair and stand on its space legs, should have some really long boarding/transferring to station animation—but with a twist that it will be played only one single time ever.

>Shows the signs of being in development hell

Like what? Are there 20 studios that the game's code is being tossed around to like a rancid whore?
>>
>>150774871
I don't really see how a game I can play right now could be in development hell by any measure.
and speaking of networking, I actually played TESO in beta, and they had serious issues there, in that last little sliver of beta time, which they did clear up just fine. a part of the reason those issues existed was that they just didn't have the player load to find the problems internally, so they never became apparent until the open beta. SC has seen these issues pretty early on and been addressing them for years now as player load increases.

I do think the timing of the project was deeply unfortunate though, and that UE4 would have sped production along far beyond what it is now.

that said, they have a ton of the actual builders of cryengine who are doing some pretty impressive shit in frankfurt.
>>
>>150773225
Well, how active was said development? "Trying to get some bux from investors over a fancy idea and a few graphs" active? They put original game and copyright times from '84, so I propose we count it from that, looks way cooler this way.

>>150774871
It is quite sad. I don't remember even DNF getting these graphs. What these graphs don't and can't show is a speed of development, which just doesn't feel very promising. SC doesn't need any kind of defending, let alone borderline cultist one. It needs criticism, it needs pressure instead of a "keep doing what you're doing, everything is great—what isn't, we will look over" approach. They are not some kid trying their first steps at drawing a little picture on DA to be cooing over them.

>>
>>150775438

Development hell doesn't always mean being passed between studios, although Star Marine does seem to be an example of exactly that.

>>150775560

Bug fixing and refactor could be expected during/after beta, that is different than being 4 years into development and completely swapping out your network backend for the second time.

One of the biggest concerns people should have for SC is if the level of FIDELITY promised is even possible in a 30 (or higher?) multiplayer environment. CIG has not proven this yet and seemingly completely failed with their first "Do it right" total Cryengine refactor.

CIG can certainly produce some cool stuff (Crusader module or whatever in general is neat) but I have grown more skeptical about the overall project as time has passed.

Doesn't help I met a number of developers at GDC who were hired as specialized contractors for certain work by CIG and nobody could stop from showing a shit eating grin whenever the discussion of actual release was brought up.
>>
Speaking of development, how FDev earn money right now? Do people buy the game and season pass even now, same for the cash shop?
>>
>>150777415
what exactly is the difference between a refactor during/after beta and one 4 years into development? I guess the difference is they know about the problems much earlier?

and the 'issue' of deadlines and not having them was a major part of the reason they went indie and not via publisher. so complaining about that is kind of asinine. if you want EA's star citizen, wait for Infinite Warfare.

What is this build trying to be? A mining rig?

If it's a miner, try something like this instead: https://coriolis.io/outfit/python/0pftkFflidussf5---2m2m00000303050505CeCe1vC040P4.Iw18eQ==.MwBjEYyrOgWBI5iA

can you actually see all that nose from the cockpit view?

>>150780325
Nah, it slopes down too much
>>
>>150779678
Yes, it's trying to be a long-range mining rig for Jacques CGs, killing two birds with one stone: deliver cargo (almost over) and mine Osmium. I'm not sure if I can manage longer laden jump range in another ship.
>>
>>150780548
Oh, right, Jacques. That build makes more sense, then.
>>
>>150780491
I realize the distances you're working in means it will almost never be an issue, but wouldn't that leave you open to banking into shit when you're trying to do close fine maneuvers. like landing on a station pad, I feel like you would always hang your nose way over the edge.

It hasn't been an issue so far. Landing on a station pad gives you a little display that shows you exactly where your ship is in relation to the pad, so that's not an issue.

What a weird coincidence. I have no idea who this is or what the context is.
>>
>>150777524
Who knows? Half the ships in the game have one or no skins, they have body kits to only three ships, there are very few bobble heads.

I mean, if I were them, I'd have a massive amount of skins on the store for all ships. Basic colors, glossy colors, chrome and gold, all sorts of bullshit.

>>150783273
Yeah, they need to be putting out new skins every month, new bobbleheads every quarter. Ship parts was a bad move when they could have put out ship variations and limited editions instead with different performance and bonuses. Maybe throw out special costume packs once we get avatars.

Since there aren't multiple fucking character slots, a lot of rabid dads buy the game multiple times so they can have separate CMDRs. There's a dad on the forum that, unless he is lying, bought the game 6 times because he wanted to roleplay different characters.

This community is the most limp-dicked cucked shitshow on the internet.
I get it - it's Open mode, you should be prepared.

Just saw this too. On the bright side, I work weekends and have Thursdays and Fridays off so it comes out on my day off anyways but holy fuck I can't wrap my head around why they would find it necessary to push the game back 3 days when its 3 fucking days away from release on PC. Still moderately excited but holy fuck what a blunder of a move.

And then they all respond with "there's no such thing as grifing" or "just switch to solo :^) :^) :^)"
