You can start by making the instructions readable ingame. I had to get my brother's glasses to be able to read that blurry stuff.

Nothing I can do about it. That comes from the video card's filtering. You could always read the in-game docs instead. I had those put up as part of the idiot proofing I feel compelled to do. Most can read it just fine.

I am only interested in serious and like-minded gamers playing my games. Though money is nice, I've never - ever- made it priority in my game dev or I'd be out of business by now because I'd end up catering to the wrong demographic.

How do you make money if you're the only serious and like-minded gamer willing to play your game?

Money is nice and also a major reason for why people do anything. Perhaps if you wanted money, you'd make a better game. Maybe you should pay your employees, if that's why your game looks like 2004 crapped out a turd.

Unreal Tournament 2004 and Flight Simulator: 100 years of flight both came out in 2004, and all you had to do was take those two games, and merge them together. Smh.

Why don't you treat yourself to some INN podcasts and ponder that, sometimes, you can indeed judge a book by its cover. (BTW, the guy in the upper-left of their stuff would be considered a mean-spirited nerd stereotype if he was to be included in any actual show. He has it all.)

I am no stranger to INN. I've endured several for the sake of the thread (that was how we learned that Squadron 42 is running a big push in mid-December possibly with trailers before Rogue One, and that CIG, despite public claims, knows that SQ42 may have an end of Q1 release date. Or later.)

So after enduring many hours of these man children sperging out, I'd like to think I understand them a bit. But Dolvak's hypocrisy is ProTier stuff and I am truly vexed by him. I want to believe he's a three dimensional character and not a stereotype so badly written than he'd make a Big Bang Theory writer wince...

i don't know poo poo about cryengine but don't forget that when Chris failed to play his own game a while back he promised to fix the lovely, buggy, ugly chat window after experiencing it first hand. the same one still there. as others have pointed out, the main thing to remember now is that Chris is likely focusing everything on SQ42, and cares nothing about the fact that 99% of backers only care about a better PU.

ED looks cool, and i see a lot of potential there. looks like they have a good, organized thing going on, and only expect that game to get better and more fun with each increment to what's already there. cheers to them.

question to whoever knows: how much money has ED used so far to develop this, and with how many people? if that data's available. i'm really curious

If I remember right, the public records that FD released stated something like around $20million and they have said about 125 people for the first two years. So from 2013-2015.

OK, sorry to harp on something unfunny, but this is for the "graphs are faked" crowd. They may very well be faked, but so far I have seen no evidence of internal inconsistency or ex post facto alterations. In other words, you won't be able to tell they're faked just by looking at their web page. Criticism is fine but should be grounded in reality.

Their latest raw daily totals from the tracker are:

2/16: 51881.82
2/17: 44007.90
2/18: 42831.20
2/19: 48414.88
2/20: 51705.00
2/21: 49735.46
2/22: 39136.32

These are the numbers I got by watching the real-time funds counter itself (i.e. not using their daily totals):

2/16: 51856.32
2/17: 44007.90
2/18: 42831.20
2/19: 48414.88
2/20: 51705.00
2/21: 49735.46
2/22: 39136.32

The only discrepancy is $25.50 on 2/16, and that is probably just due to slight differences in which transactions were included in the respective time windows.

Star Citizen Alpha 2.2.0 PTU Playtest Invite

Greetings everyone!

If you�re receiving this email, you�ve been specifically invited to the Public Test Universe (PTU) to playtest Star Citizen Alpha 2.2.0, featuring the new Monitored Space/Hostility/Bounty system, EVA improvements, the Hangar-ready Xi'an Scout, the Flight-ready Aegis Sabre, 24-player maps, and Party System revamps!

In order to get the best ship feedback possible during this round of PTU, we�ve included the Sabre on every accounts for this first wave of testing!

IMPORTANT NOTE: IFCS/SCM mode frequently break where ships are stuck at 10m/s. This happens far more in Arena Commander than Crusader, and we'll have a fix for this ASAP.

As a reminder, remember to submit all of your bug reports to https://robertsspaceindustries.com/community/issue-council/star-citizen-alpha!

Testing Goals: Our biggest need is for playtesters to spend time inside the Aegis Sabre.

Please note that it will NOT show up on the website, nor will it be in the Hangar (unless you own one). The Sabre will show up inside of Arena Commander or Crusader. We�d also like players to check out the new Monitored Space and Bounty systems as this is a major new game mechanic introducing true consequences on actions within the 'Verse! Last, but certainly not least, we need significant testing on the new improvements to the much-anticipated Party System improvements!

Monitored Space System

"Monitored Space� are large areas of the Crusader system that are being actively monitored by Crusader Industries. These areas are centered around any active Comm Arrays in Crusader, as well as Cryo-Astro and Port Olisar. By disabling the Comm Arrays, you can toggle Monitored Space off for that area. Likewise you can reactivate "Monitoring" by activating the local Comm Arrays. Comm Arrays will be active or disabled at-random when a instance is first brought up. Disabling a Comm Array has consequences, because no-one except a Criminal would ever want to go unnoticed by Crusader Industries. Players who are not currently considered a "Criminal" will receive missions for any Comm Arrays that need to be reactivated. Player character kills made in non-Monitored Space will go unnoticed by local authorities.

Bounty System

In an effort to improve security in the Crusader region while their local staffing is low, Crusader Industries has activated their "Bounty" system and encourages all pilots to hunt down any wanted criminals in their space. Destroying an empty ship, colliding with a landed ship (in Monitored space), or disabling a Comm Array gives the offending character 1 level of Wanted Criminal. However, these are not cumulative and will not take your character above 1 Criminal level. Killing a player character or destroying an occupied ship (in Monitored space) gives 1 Cumulative level of Criminal. Crusader Security AI will spawn and attack any Criminal (of any wanted level), that enters the area around Cry-Astro Station or Port Olisar. There are 5 Criminal levels available. At Level 5 point, a global bounty mission is posted to all characters on the server instructing them to hunt down and kill the character. Each Criminal level adds 30 seconds of "jail time" to your respawn. When a Criminal is killed, they will be locked into their spawn-bedroom for the duration of their penalty time. If you are killed while at Criminal Level 5, you will be kicked off the server!! There are only two ways to reduce your Criminal level. Waiting 10 minutes without committing a crime will naturally reduce the level by 1. There is a console in Security Post Kareah that you can "hack". Each hack you initiate and complete drops your wanted level by 1. However, each hack takes 1 minutes to complete, and other criminals can interrupt your hack by initiating their own.

I wonder if your criminal level is tied to your character, or ship? Like if I steal your ship and crash it into another will it raise your level, or mine?

We need to test all the ways this system works.

Or if I land my ship near yours causing you to hit me while taking off.
