I'm genuinely curious what they have to show for the limited-access PU. Any thing even remotely resembling an MMO will be head and shoulders above what they have now. Like, how could they be working on this when they don't even know how logging out is gonna work?

Seems like the big centerpiece of 2.2 will maybe be the sabre is flyable. No expanded play area or major gameplay features from what I can tell. But at least the jpeg should sell well. Give them a few hundred monthly patches and they might have something resembling a game.

It's low hanging fruit that doesn't require as much development work as the more complex vessels. I am sure it will piss off Hornet owners to no end.

In addition to most backers having not played a video game in 20 years, it appears some of them haven't realised that firearms have progressed beyond muskets. :downsgun:

he wasn't even asked about the starfarer he just threw that tid-bit in during a 10ftc. i think he might enjoy shitizen tears more than we do.

I think Chris has his head so far up his arse filming his digital space movie, that he really has no clue about what is happening with the game.

He demonstrated this beautifully during the Christmas live stream

hi how are you

with the stimpire i think it's really important to not go past the source material at all or even look into it very deeply otherwise it stops being an effective and funny criticism of the sort of weirdos who back star citizen and becomes something very creepy and goony

that being said i still like the unrestrained enthusiasm with which RSI forums poster Zealot launches himself into his torture porn. it doesn't make sense, it's just whatever's getting his rocks off at that second.

please don't expand the stimpire

...Not to mention one of Goon Fleets leaders harassing a guy non stop in eve, and then elsewhere, until the guy considered suicide and the goon fleet guy, ON STAGE with CCP told him he should do it if he cant handle a little harassment after months and months of continued harassment in and out of Eve.

Haha, I think you've let your imagination run away with you a bit there dude. They exploded his pixels a few times, exchanged a few in game messages and then while on stage at fanfest Mittani spouted off "If you wanna make the guy kill himself then his name is The Wis".

I love that a few years on that story has started to mutate into folklore when the only difference between that incident and every other day in Eve is a dumb drunken comment made to a room full of nerds.

Funny to think about stuff like the Starfarer and just what exactly is being discussed. They're talking about a model being completed to put into the model-viewer. There's this much hype and delays for a loving model, not even a fully-flyable asset in a game environment.

Serious post. I've been meaning to try out LoD sometime. I played (or at least, attempted to play) a bit of Battlecruiser Millenium and Universal Combat many moons ago so I'm curious to see how your design philosophy has changed.

It's a big difference between poo poo posting in a game than to joke about goading an audience to get a guy to kill himself.

Mittani is literally the stimperor. But instead of the worst type of electricity he uses boredom. Goons most celebrated and successful tactic in that game is to literally bore the enemy until the prospect of fighting goons makes them want to quit the game. Only goons are boring themselves too hence stimpire.

Eve is the worst type of boring and the dullness triples every second

lol i like that you spawn in a bedroom at least some of the time in LoD but you don't bother immersing us in the whole getting out of bed while wearing heavy armour thing.

i'm having some drat trouble mapping my thrustmaster hotass's throttle correctly but other than that i like the firepower the ships throw out and the way you can see clearly out of the cockpits. You also don't need to find the immersion chute to crawl through to get into the things which is nice. Space is really dense - there are heaps of objects out there and everything is obviously scaled down (lyrius in particular looks tiny) but that's actually good because it means getting somewhere isn't a miserable five hour immersion-slog strapped into a cockpit. You also might see someone out there more than once in a while, if anyone was there. welp those are my initial thoughts. I'll keep at it until i can manage to fly towards a planet without exploding.
