who is MacArthur?

cool old gamer, unfortunately suffering from stage iv colon cancer.

makes very affable, low-key youtube videos about games, mostly roleplaying and tabletop stuff, but also his experiences with videogames. did one called "Am I too stupid to play Star Citizen?" where he talked mildly about his experience in the free version of star citizen

inevitably the SC guys started jumping on him saying yes, in fact, he was stupid.

It's incredible, really. Even if it was a miscommunication, the fact that nobody in the art department dared to question or double check it speaks volumes to how hosed up CIG is internally.

So I went to pick my 3 kids up from school last week in our brand new car, oh man, was my face red when I realised I bought a convertible 2 seater sports car, oh god.
It reminded me of that one time they made that spaceship with one set instead of two and everyone was all like "oooh ha ha, oh dear, what a crazy mistake!"
Luckily we all saw the funny side, but it took a few weeks for me to live that down ha ha! drat kids had to walk 5 miles home in the pissing rain! Awww man, we laugh about it now though.

Couldn't you do the responsible thing and stick two of them in the boot?

Nah, I can't really knock it. I got pretty irritated by it myself. It's not like "oh we totally trolled that dude!!" it's just being a miserable human being that can't appreciate that any person in the world doesn't completely understand or enjoy what you do, even if they're amazingly reasonable about it.

Star Citizen Patch 2.2.0c

Alpha Patch 2.2.0c has been released to PTU and is now available for player testing. During this initial testing phase, PTU access will be restricted to a small group of players that we will expand on over time. We have also increased the maximum number of players per instance of Crusader from 16 to 24 on the PTU so that we can gather performance data.

Your launcher should show �2.2.0-234858� as the client version. It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Public client after patching, particularly if you start encountering any odd character graphical issues or crash on loading. The USER folder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Cloud Imperium Games\StarCitizen\Public.

Please review our current list of 2.2.0 PTU Known Issues FAQ, and take full advantage of our Issue Council area of the Community site to report any bugs you encounter, as well as contribute to other players submissions.

Important Issues:

The Klaus & Werner ATT4 energy rifle is appearing somewhat untextured in-game.
The Klaus & Werner ATT4 energy rifle is being awarded to all players on the server.
Using the Holotable in the Revel & York hangar will cause the game client to become unresponsive.
The Gemini LH-86 Combustion Pistol cannot be picked up from players bedroom.
When attempting to pick up the Gemini LH-86 Combustion Pistol, the players arm animation twists in a weird angle.
When the pickup animation is complete, the pistol will remain floating at waist level next to the character.

Star Systems:

Fixed several texture conflicts in and around Jobwell in ArcCorp.
Fixed an issue where a medpack in the Medical Unit was not displaying the right name when in AR mode (F10).
Fixed an issue where characters could not view mobiGlas while a FPS weapon was drawn.

Game Systems:

Fixed an issue where quantum travel targets where obstructed for no reason, for the Gladius and Hornet.
Updated the point-value of several ships in Arena Commander.

Ships:

Fixed an issue where Auroras (all) appeared grey and were missing paint.
Fixed an issue where the countermeasure launchers on the Avenger (all) where missing detail levels.
Fixed an issue where the Sabre would lose all power to thrusters when its shields were recharging.
Adjusted the rotational speed of the Sabre to bring it more on-par with Hornets.
Slightly decreased the overall strength of the default shields for the Vanguard Warden.
Fixed an issue where the Revenant Gatling ammunition could be used on the Mantis Gatling.

First Person:

Fixed an issue where users could rotate their camera, such that they could see down the neck of their character.
Fixed an issue with the EVA thrusters would occasionally disappear from characters in Crusader.
Fixed an issue where the helmet flashlight would become visible in the characters field of view when running.
Fixed an issue where characters would jerk and snap around when exiting vehicles into zero gravity.
The Klaus & Werner ATT4 energy rifle is now correctly being awarded to players that kill a Level 5 Criminal.

Technical:

Fixed an issue where the users would sometimes crash to desktop with an assertion error.
Fixed an issue where the users would sometimes crash to desktop with a CryAnimation Error.
Fixed a number of client crashes.
Fixed a number of server crashes.

Unity's built in stuff is pretty much cross-platform compatible out of the gate. If you start writing your own networking packets and stuff then you'll need to be sure of little/big endian crap.

If you're going for uselessness disguised as immersion filled feature, how about a radar that is just a 3d equivilant of - a 3d noise that gets updated with a sweeper with slightly higher intensity where objects would be located. It would be in full 3d so it would be useless and unusable.

This is a good idea. I started off with a semi-transparent sphere overlaying the whole radar object, it looked cool but I removed it because it made the radar hard to read.

That radar was an afterthought to use up a ridiculously small amount of unused bytes too.

Yeah, and one of the developers (can't remember if it was Ian Bell or David Braben) came up with it after the finished code had already gone Gold and been sent to Acorn (the original publishers). Normally nothing can be changed after this point, but as soon as the Acorn guys saw the new scanner, they basically said 'that's loving brilliant' and agreed to include it.

Edit - gently caress! I'm turning into the Ben Lesnick of Elite. Help!
