And most conversations end with people saying to him "Well why did you say it was on the left when it's on the right? Why didn't you say it was on your left, or better yet, use some loving common sense and realise that left and right reverse when you face in the opposite direction? And stop staring at my tits, you creepy bastard."

I'm willing to give them a pass on that one. Its too much ingrained in modern science fiction( many of the writers having served in the military) that space assets are classified like wet navy ships.

Ship class have always been arbitrary and vary by nations. During the napoleonic era, the USA where building "frigates" that where vastly superior in tonnage and guns to what the french and british navy called "frigate". Even today, look at the new USN Zumwalt, that "Destroyer" displace 14,798 tons while a WW2 light cruiser (Uss Astoria, Cl-90 for example) displaced 14,358 t and a WW2 destoryer displaced only about 2500 tons.

You're right. It's really not that big of a deal, and since you have to call these things something you might as well go with the trope.

Chris Roberts: "Star Marine was just a game mode for people to play the FPS elements of Star Citizen until we could combine everything together: Flying, walking around, shooting, doing all the rest of the stuff, all together, that is what is in 2.0, that's what it's 2.1."

So if I understand things right, Derek is saying that Star Marine isn't in the Evocati build, but MoMA is saying that Derek is wrong because the Evocati build apparently includes the Star Marine files that are playable if you somehow hack the client similar to what people did years ago when the Illfonic stuff was accessible?

I'm just glad that Star Marine is now out, and can enjoy the same level of robust developer support and community engagement that the PU has received for the last 14 months. Really looking forward to watching streamers play 6000 hours of it as some kind of weird self-flagellation in exchange for a half dozen views.

All fiction requires a certain amount of making poo poo up. And there are few original ideas that someone didn't come up with beforehand. Declaring something as an unoriginal derivative work is as old as Shakespeare. The consumer can either accept that and relax, or can sperg out and post about it on the internet.

In other words, ripping off ideas from older sci-fi is the least of CR's problems.
