Might have been explained already but in some of these hilarious bug videos there are shots of players jamming needles into their arm I assume for a health boost or whatever Do players wear self sealing space suits or some poo poo because it seems like jamming a needle into your suit would be a really bad idea in space

lol Kickstarter hired a journalist to find out that throwing millions of dollars at hype videos on kickstarter, a site which lets random guests make wild promises and collect money as pre-order rewards, with no obligation to fulfill promises made on their site, might be abused.

Anyone who can come up with a convincing procedural, "forum post based on an erroneous understanding of physics" generator, might be heralded by historians as the Leonardo Da Vinci of trolling. That seems to be the poo poo that brings lurkers out, flips them, and gets them onto the corners so they earnin'. 90% of the time, it works every time.

Angela Christine posted:Head bobbing makes it much, much worse why would you even do that??? Stupid gimmicks like camera shake and motion blur can make it worse. Yeah, the idea is absolutely baffling. It seems like, for some reason (it's  ), CR really wants to display exactly what your dumb eyes would perceive in the scene, thereby leaving your brain with a ton of processing and the consequent platform for motion sickness. Good developers, who understand how to make a pleasantly playable game, emulate the final, material experience, because they know that half-arsed sensory immersion (the only level of sensory immersion available on consumer hardware) is worse than no immersion at all.

You file a complaint with the 'verse GMs, which are themselves furry players. They deny your request. You take the matter to the High Court of CRoberts, who is faced with an impossible situation: Both of the parties are whales. The GM wishes to keep furry ads, citing freedom of the 'verse. You wish to remove them, citing immersion. The CRoberts cannot reconcile two fundamentally, mutually exclusive 'verse truths. The Centre can no longer hold, and thus the end times begin.

They'll probably end up doing something like turret guns get a damage bonus when a human gunner is in there (because of sci-fi implants tech or something). That way it's a calculated decision how you split up a group of people between ships. This sort of system takes a long time and a lot of effort to balance. Also it takes a game.

More PTU Gameplay: It's been three or four patches since the last time, so I figured I'd give it another go and see how the stability is. We've been talking a lot about Puhvuhpuh in here so I thought I'd make my mission for tonight to get at least one pvp kill, consensual or otherwise. Attempt 1: I am immediately able to log in, which is a nice change of pace. So far the usual bugs seem to be in play- FPS is low, I can see explosions through walls, the constant lens flare in the spawn area is still there. It seems like the server's already been going for a while, so I'm not going to be able to ambush people as they get in their ships for the first time. Instead I opt to be the bait. I spawn in a Constellation and do a couple of laps around the station, where a few ships are just hovering about. Being in a Constellation is basically like hanging a "Kill me" sign around your neck at this point. Then I very deliberately align on Covalex, and fly off. Sure enough a gladius, mustang and hornet arrive within seconds and start coming after me. The Constellation gives a good accounting for itself- I kill the mustang and either kill or drive off the gladius, I'm not sure which. Half my ship's on fire and the other half is spraying fluids, so it kind of balances out. One thing of note during the fight- you can lock missiles on "Friendlies" but there's no indicator about their fire status so you pretty much just have to pray. I don't think I've managed to hit with a single missile since the PTU came out. I fly to the repair station where of course more vultures are sitting around only this time as I come out of warp I can't turn anymore? Not sure if that was a bug or I legitimately was shot to poo poo- I use lateral thrust to narrowly avoid the station but then I'm forced to cruise in a straight line as they sit behind me and finish me off. Oh well, good fight. Next up- I jump in a superhornet and fly to the security outpost. There's only one guy there- a guy from the earlier fight- and he beats it as soon as I show up, so I put down and go inside to get a rifle. So far it's all been very smooth, amazingly enough. I pick up the gun and head back out to the landing pad when I'm hit by the first true bug of the night- the infinite-spinning bug. Luckily(?) chuckles has gotten his nerve up enough to fly back and shoot at the disabled character twirling helplessly on the pad like some kind of retarded space marine variety act. Respawning, I decide to go thank him for rescuing me with a lot of bullets. I spawn a super hornet but as luck would have it, I somehow manage to get into the turret and some dude following me gets into my driver's seat without realizing it. Several minutes of a three stooges routine proceeds, as he repeatedly tries to get into the turret and I repeatedly try to get into the driver's seat and take off before he can. Finally I manage it and zoom off- if only there was a "Flip the bird" emote to trigger as flew away, but no. I warp out to a comm array and immediately crash. Well, it took quite a while anyway. Attempt 2: I walk down to the lobby and attempt to spawn a bigger ship to do it like the ancient Greeks did- with ramming. Unfortunately the pad is blocked by a Constellation embedded about halfway through it. I took a picture:  So I jump back in the hornet instead and decide that my first mission is to grind that Constellation into dust. The hornet turns out to be astonishingly resilient- the very first hit sends the Constellation physics-ing into nothingness and I'm barely scratched. I wheel back around and pick off several more spawned ships before deciding this is a little boring and unsportsmanlike besides- the hornet just plows through them and keeps on going. I pick a moving target and bounce him off the side of the station instead. It's really not hard to avoid someone trying to ram- they go so fast that you pretty much have to be stationary or moving in a perfectly straight line for them to catch you. Naturally, nobody ever turns. A few minutes later all that's left near the station is debris, and chat is filling with angry messages about a dick who won't let anyone fly away, so I decide to go repair. When I get to the repair station there's a guy flying an Avenger. Now here, I think to myself, is a worthy challenge- I'm half dead, parts of my ship are literally falling off as I fly, and this guy just got done repairing. Let's fight! He spends the next 10-ish minutes trying to run away from me in Cruise only to occasionally turn and do a jousting run. With half my thrusters gone I for some reason fly way faster than normal, and turn so hard that I am constantly blacking myself out. It's like two peewee footballers trying to get to the ball but they keep losing focus and wandering off toward their parents. Eventually he fucks off altogether, so I fly back to the repair station and put down for repairs, which promptly execute me inside my ship somehow. Oh well. I go back to the spawn area to find a man overwhelmed by it all, clutching his knees:  I try again to spawn a big ship but the spawn computers are now in full clusterfuck mode and I have to hammer on them to get any response. Finally my ship spawns. They show up as icons on the screen now immediately after spawning, which is nice. What's less nice is watching mine show up, land on the pad, and fly the gently caress away before I have even made it out of the airlock. I didn't even think that was possible but there you are. I spawn another one, go back out there, and take off just as some would-be ship thief runs out to grab it. He yells at me for leaving without him, so I come back- at 200 meters per second. There are no survivors. I respawn and see in chat that there are new Mobiglass features, so like a complete mongoloid, I open it up. Once again it smears my screen with vaseline and locks my controls in some mode I can't exit. God drat it, it happens every other time I use that thing. On the bright side, when I hit the suicide button my character just kind of topples forward and down a flight of stairs, which is fairly satisfying. The server is now just completely making GBS threads itself- doors don't work, everything is lagging, NPCs are reportedly sitting still. I like to think I rammed the guy so hard that it broke something. I sit around for a minute and spawn one more ship. Once again I race out, trying to beat the motherfuckers who are out there waiting to jump in it. I get aboard but I'm pretty sure at least one is on board with me so I decide to fly out past the weapons-free line, get out of the pilot's chair, and shoot him until he gets off my loving ship. I get as far as "Get out of the pilot's chair" before I am summarily blasted out the back of the ship by a physics glitch and left floating in deep space as it rockets off into the night without me. I decide that's enough. Mission Status: Accomplished, I think. It's really hard to tell. Final Thoughts: There are a lot of improvements to be seen, and I'd hope so after 11 patches (and 3 years, and 100 million dollars, etc). I never had any trouble getting in, I only had one crash bug, and for the most part I was able to stay connected and the game remained playable. Glitches and bullshit abound, but it's very close to being in a solid release state- I will not be surprised if it's kicked out before the vacation part of the month. PvP is hilarious, and fun, and right now nobody knows what the gently caress they're doing which is always my favorite time in a new game because you can get away with so much more. Everyone has turned into a bit of a twat around the landing zone, which amuses me to no end but I'm sure will bring down the "Concern" hammer pretty hard as soon as enough of the fanbase has a little cry about it. The Retaliator is still a beautiful piece of flying garbage, and the Constellation is still basically the Death Star if you get in front of it. Ramming is fun but doesn't seem terribly effective as a tactic- I suspect stealth nerfs because it just wasn't hurting either ship, but it is fun to send people rear end over teakettle out of nowhere. Truth be told, I'm having a lot of fun with the game as it is right now. I'd really like to try some organized play but I'm going to need to get an organization for that. Or just get on the Discord channel for a server I guess. Sarsapariller fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Dec 10, 2015 |

Star Citizen will literally be the most boring game of all time. Worse than Viscera Cleanup Detail. Worse than World of Guns. Worse than Bad Rats. It'll be composed mainly of people who play online to play by themselves. "There's no end-game", which gives no incentive to do anything. Dying has no effect on a character or the player, and doing well apparently only allows you to buy a more expensive ship to then do the exact same mining mission all over. If there is any excitement for this game, it'll die down in more or less 5 hours of playtime.

So am I right that their conservative estimated burn rate is $3m per month? That means they need to raise $100,000 per day to cover their current overheads before dipping into their savings. They are getting less than half that at the moment. There is a good chance that the $11m that CiG 'has' has already been earmarked for Chris's Sqd42 shambles, or is already owed to some big name actors. Without a large injection of cash, this could all come crashing down far sooner than I realised.
