My calculator app is in early alpha, so it can only multiply and only 6 and 7. If you try any other operation, it returns 42, but it's a clever reference, not me hardcoding 42 as the result for all inputs.

It's yet another day in the wasteland.

Scruffpuff posted:

"Building on the mechanics" is one of my favorite developer phrases, because it implies proper procedure and gives a sense of progress, but it's absolutely meaningless where Star Citizen is concerned. Which mechanics do you already have, and upon which you claim to be building? Have you actually built a planet yet? Have you worked on atmospheric effects? Will the gravity on the planet have an effect on flight performance? If so, what effect? Have you, in fact, done anything at all?

So here's a fun thing to do:

Step 1: Be a non-native speaker. (This step may be hard to replicate for some.)
Step b: Ignore what the statement actually means and instead imagine it a something you'd write in a second-year English class.
Step iii: remember how some verbs and idioms have prepositions and aspect markers “built in” either in, or compared to, your native language.
Step δ: Paaaaarp

For instance, in Swedish, with its insane prosody, we have these easily distinguishable variations:
“Vi bygger” = we build.
“Vi bygger” = we're building.
“Vi bygger” = let's build.
“Vi bygger på” = we're building (as in, we're still figuring out how to put the pieces together).
“Vi bygger ” = we're building on (as in, we're adding more stuff to).
“Vi bygger ” = we're still building (as in, the whole building process is trucking along).


So from the perspective of the careless non-native speaker, “building on” may not seem like it's implying anything and is rather a kind of false-friend association/translation error. Of course, in this case, I'm guessing that it's a native speaker saying these things, so the explanation doesn't really fly…

Well they fixed a calendar and liquor cabinet...

Important Issues:

There are red-gold lights surrounding the major space stations on Crusader, which is distorting visuals in the areas.

The Klaus & Werner ATT4 energy rifle is not currently being awarded to players that kill a Level 5 Criminal.

Using the Holotable in the Revel & York hangar will cause the game client to become unresponsive.

EVA’ing back into a ship with interior physics is having issues such as permanent ragdoll and death.

We highly recommend using a ship with a cockpit if you have one available, or using the test Sabre. Updates and Fixes

Star Systems:

ArcCorp, Area 18

Fixed an issue where texture conflicts were occurring with a wall across from the trash incinerator.

Fixed an issue with a ceiling fan in Cubby Blast was placed outside of its alcove.

Crusader

Fixed a lighting issue in Kareah Security Station where the station was very dark in multiple areas.

Fixed an issue with the quest “Tips and Tricks to Surviving Your Death Warrant” where the quest text was abruptly cutoff.

The ATT-4 laser rifle now spawns in your bedroom once you have completed the mission “Public Enemy Declared”.

Hangar

Fixed issue in Revel and York Hangar where the calendar was reflecting off the wall.

Fixed an issue with the liquor cabinet dropping in and out of view for a player, depending on players distance from the cabinet.

Game Systems:

Fixed an issue that was allowing Star Marine to show up as active to players in the Electronic Access menu. We appreciate everyone quickly reporting this to us!

Fixed an issue where the AI spawns during some of the research missions were in an idle state instead of engaging players.

Ships:

Fixed an issue where the joystick and throttle were not animating correctly for the Pilot when flying the Sabre.

Shields on the Sabre have been fixed so they now correctly appear on all sides.

Fixed an issue where switching between SCM and Precision mode was breaking SCM mode for most ships. Please report on Issue Council if any ship still has this problem.

Fixed an issue where “Replaceme” textures were showing up on the M50.

Technical:

Fixed several server crashes.

Fixed a client crash.

I am exceedingly wary of an advertisement promising a cost hike due to employing nice rectangular flat pieces of wood derived from 50 year old sodden marine hull planking pulled from decommissioned fishing craft that operated on the other side of the planet.

e; I mean, if you were strolling through your local marina, dodging seagull poo poo as you try to smother your wailing children's insistent howling by stuffing their noise traps with an overpriced glob of ice cream and some grizzled old fisherbastard who was in the process of ripping apart his ancient fishing tub that wasn't made of fiberglass like everything else this side of the Vietnam war offered to let you take the dryrot infested planks off his hands for an easy $1000 you'd probably not backflip at the chance.

Honestly I thought the desk in and of itself was pretty cool and might make for a good centerpiece of an office depending on your profession, but the majority of the stuff is terrible and ugly.

The homemade desk effort is absolutely fine - it's been homemade for a tiny fraction of the price. The professionally produced items look about as good and for 10 times as much money.
