Found it. That's the sound of a major feature cut.

I wonder if there's a big jar of listed game features and before you appear on camera you have to stick your hand in and see which one you'll quietly get to kill.

I feel like Star Citizen could learn a lot from how GTA V Online handles player interaction. If someone's griefing you, after you are killed, you can choose to go into passive mode and not get blown up by the rear end in a top hat driving down the main street in a tank, or you can just start the game in passive mode and just not deal with poo poo. If you're being the rear end in a top hat, it costs money to go into passive mode and the game tracks how aggressive someone is. A player is worth more cash and EXP dead if they're being aggressive, or you can just put a bounty on someone for any reason at all. Not to mention if you shoot at poo poo too much the cops will just come and publicly execute you.

Really though, the EVE Online thing says something totally different: People are blowing up mining ships for economic gain, not sadistic videogame catharsis. It would really just be way more interesting if killing a player had a measurable change on the game instead of the pointless space bubble the game is in right now, and there isn't anything measurable in the game right now. Timeouts are just loving stupid.

Wasn't Arena Commander supposed to exist to test the netcode and ship interaction? Why the gently caress does the PU even exist in its current form, other than to court space whales?

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

Didn't someone figure out you can clip out the back of the pod you spawn in and head straight to the landing pads? I wonder if they fixed that before implementing grounding people to their rooms.

:omarcomin: The first thing that comes to mind when I think about SC ships is how well thought through they were from the start.


e: jesus christ that entire thread is pro-read. I'd be quoting almost all of it.

The first thing that came to mind for me is how they (CIG) have stated multiple times that they are trying to get the PU stable before adding, or patching as we know it, more modules into the "main" experience.

No, that is based on the Voat.co post by someone who made a fake Dolvak account. Someone posted a PM with him on Reddit where he said it wasn't him who said it on Voat.

It's rather amusing that the new Bounty/Mission system basically asks players to go and PvP/Ram other players. Since if no one would become a criminal, no one would get bounty missions. So ramming people on the landing pad and/or shooting them is intended by CIG.

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.

Idiot proofing is Derek Smart's codewords for "The backers keep annoying me with their questions".

Here's a tip, Derek, call it "Making it user-friendly".

This thread has me fatshaming myself. I'm 5'9 and 186 lbs. Now I feel the need to drop sodas entirely (I've been working on that addiction for years), problem is finding a decent replacement. I'll probably check the fit Goons thread, but to save time, straight black coffee good/no good?

Thankfully the misses and I both eat relatively healthy, we need to cut back on the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in our salad I'm sure, but eh. We both want to shred some weight for our wedding this year and actually keep it off.

That's my weight story, thanks for reading commandos. o9

Black coffee fine though mind the caffine, water or green tea would be better if you can. Weight loss thread has a bunch of good advice and support, I recommend calorie counting with myfitnesspal or similar at least for a month or two (be MEGA rigorous and honest, weigh everything, don't forget beverages and snacks), if you wanna keep the counting up long term then great, if you just use it as a tool to get a feel for things and for good habits then are able to wean yourself off it after a while that's good too

I stoped drinking Sodas a couple of years ago. I replaced it with bottled Water (not table water). I also stopped putting sugar into my coffee. Also: Read content lists of your food.
You'd be suprised what kind of poo poo goes in "normal" food.
Example: Frozen Pizzas - often contain sugar, makes a shiny surface after baking it.

Posting from the past.

I think GAS is different. At least then you get a physical product. It may have been over-hyped or you may get bored with it quickly, but you actually get something tangible that can be used. Some dudes on the gear sites definitely blow too much money on pedals and poo poo like that, and that's a neurosis all it's own "The perfect mid-breakup low gain TS clone of the week", but it's not nearly as pathetic as jpegs.
