Nailed it. God drat dude's picture makes me sad. I imagine when he was a kid he never wanted to wear his CPAP mask and his mom pretended like it was a cool spaceman tool to get him to wear it to bed. Then twenty years later he put it on his face to take that horrible picture.


Everything is ruined forever. Thanks a lot, Star Citizen.

When you consider all the degreed engineers and staff working on this project, and even Chris who has a bona fide degree - which she DOES NOT possess, you have to ask if she really was high in that exchange. Nothing else explains it.

This exchange pretty much validates most - if not all - of the things that were told to The Escapist about her.

This is the woman who, after our investigations yielded lie after lie after lie about her credentials, was playing whack-a-mole with my investigators data mining her LinkedIn profile (it was a Gold mine of bullshit - we have ALL of them archived). Each time something showed up in my blog, she'd write up a new one and kill the previous. Last we checked, she's up to #4 now.

From what I understand it's usually a hell of a fight trying to get them to wear them too (obviously) so a lot of parents decorate them and try to make them seem cool.

Ha, she talks about other people projecting their insecurities then rolls right into some crap about how she's sacrificed her glamorous lifestyle to be a part of Star Citizen. She's just dripping with insecurity because she knows she doesn't do anything productive while the coders and artists have likely been crunching for months.

I like how they consider grabby hands to be a key feature and not at all just an interesting hack someone did using the default Cryengine prop grabbing from Crysis that won't at all be completely scrapped, because the network can't handle everything the game demands and putting prop physics replication on top of it all is just too much. Do they really think that the game will be able to do everything they claim it will over vast 64-bit space yet still allow players to flip a physics coin that other players can see and not have that poo poo be laggy/janky to high heaven?

I'm interested to see just what exactly they are all working on in any meaningful way because I bet you a bunch of key stuff like trading and mining either aren't being worked on or are obsolete/incompatible with the latest branch.

Why does it sound like Gary Oldman is shouting his lines to me from the other side of an auditorium? I didn't think it was possible to have both the face of an actor and him doing the lines and somehow make it seem completely phony, but there they are.

Do these videos show him typing and editing code, or are they just of him saying that he worked on 'this'?

At this point I don't think I believe Chris Roberts knows anything about computers, I don't even believe he made Wing Commander 1 besides tell some ideas to his programming friends.

Yes, it's actually him pecking away in visual studio and using the editor to test it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=165H_5jgE5g

He claims credit for the original physics and skeleton animation attachment code.

It really explains a lot.

e: They actually look at the "Falling through the floor" problem that's still ingame today. That video is from July. Yeaaaa.
e2: ROFL it also has the "You can just mash use from outside a ship and have it still put you in the pilot's seat." bug, which is also still there.
This is the part that Chris specifically says that he's working on.

I'd like to extend my thanks to Sandi and Patrick for being so forthright and polite with me. At first I was a little worried I wouldn't see anything beyond an automated response, but then an anonymous CS rep helped me out, followed by Sandi herself, and then when Sandi couldn't provide the necessary information Patrick was kind enough to clarify.

I hope you guys find the attached conversation as enlightening as I did.
