I prevent overshooting by watching the 'time to destination' counter next to the targeted planet or station. When it gets under 0:15, I slow down to halfway the blue zone and then calmly get there, slowing down some more when it gets really close.
But I still overshoot often after a year hehe.

in controls u will find thrust @ 75%. bind it to a button. Your are big boy find a spare button, I use space. When you fly at a station\planet\poo and see the timer hit 7 seconds hit said button and you will never overshoot your chariot again.

I specially like that he says that it has more "fidelity" than any other game ever as if it was something that is written on a whiteboard during any game's development and is anything anyone gives a poo poo about.

To me, that shows that the salvaging mechanics are basically completed. And if the salvaging mechanics are finished then that must mean the inventory system is done too. And being as they have a functioning item system that means they will have crafting and trading mechanics all in place and just requiring the final level of polish.

Also take a good look at that image 'Medium Shield Generators', don't you see what that means? That means that they've got ship fittings all worked out and ready to go. I mean why would you have shield generators if you can't fit them to the ships? I bet in two weeks we'll start to see all different types of these 'placeholders' for armor plating and cloaking devices and tracking disruptors and then one day they'll just flip the magic switch and *bing* the finished game will be released.

Is that seriously what they're getting excited about? The video game equivalent in seeing Jesus on a piece of toast.

My cat is black and light photons refuse to bounce off his coat. This means that it's impossible to capture decent videos of him.

I don't want to sound racist, but if he wasn't black, he'd have been a youtube star a long time ago.

Star Citizen and SQ42 are so far along in secret development (as a part of what is clearly the most open development process ever) that CIG purposefully avoided showing PCGamer any gameplay a couple months back!

As stupid and delusional as the cultists have demonstrated themselves to be it's still mildly surprising to me that they're all embracing this PU criminal level bullshit as some amazingly fun and worthwhile addition. Not a whiff of persistence, hardly a hint of any typical space sim gameplay, still just one stretched out multiplayer map that holds 16-24 people, but throw in some basic capture point/GTA wanted level mechanics with the excuse that it's for testing systems and these imbeciles eat it up.

IANAGD but wouldn't an alpha for a real MMO with a significant focus on commerce and exploration and simulating millions of NPCs involve the testing of systems involving commerce, exploration, and simulating millions of NPCs?

I've found the opposite, there are two random cattes that come and see me when I'm waiting for a bus in two different parts of the city, both are super loving and friendly and love being picked up and cuddled, and both are black. My own black cat is more friendly than her black and white brother, and the other four black cats I've owned or lived with in my life have all been sweethearts. The only *un*friendly black cat I ever met had three legs and was blind in one eye following a major traffic accident so that's kinda understandable, and apparently even that one was very friendly with her owners and only wary of strangers.

My blacke catte was visited by her mother when she was about 1 year old and beat the loving poo poo out of her. My hands and lower arms a re mesh of scars from her love-bites. She sits on my lap, purrs, getting her back petted until she grabs my arm with both paws, claws extracted, and slams her jaws into the meat. That means "thank you human, thats enough for now" in back-cat-speech.

e: also neither me, nor my demon cat are from the us. They are closer than you think. Send help.

G0RF: you're an extremely talented writer. You take the time to research and reflect before posting, and your tone is professional and eloquent. You write clearly and have an excellent grasp of vocabulary, grammar, and punctuation.

Serious question: have you thought about writing up a massive expose based on known facts or things which can be conclusively researched and submitting it to a news organization for review and publication?

I'm honestly shocked that nothing further has come from the escapist, given that the allegations against Sandi are patently true, and because their follow-up/addendum stated that CIG invited them to visit their offices to see what it is "really like". I can only assume that never took place...

Where's @lizzyf620 at? Someone invite her to join SA (I don't use twitter) and I'll buy her an account.

Thanks!

I'm genuinely curious how many of you were surprised by how chill it is here when compared to the cultist narrative.

Although I'm not a CIG refugee, I'll give you my impression of the SA forums...

I'd previously heard about SA, and it's association with Goons. Like others I'd previously been a bit wary and looked at a few threads. The topics weren't anything that interested me though, and were about things of which I had little experience, so I couldn't really form a knowledgeable opinion one way or the other.

It was this thing about Star Citizen that drew me back here, after Dereks Smart's series of blogs. I'd been following SC from afar, and had thought for a long while that something didn't seem quite right. It all felt a bit too good to be true - a pretty slick marketing campaign with fantastic artwork, but little tangible evidence to prove that it was going to be all that it was cracked up to be.

I followed the discussion here without an account for a while, and time and time again kept reading things that reflected exactly what I was thinking. OK, there are plenty of 'ya boo Ben's fat' posts, pictures of cattes, and low effort shitposts, but plenty of intelligent thought-provoking posts too. Some wicked senses of humour as well, which is never a bad thing.

So I thought 'ya know, there are some very clever people on that forum. People who aren't easily fooled by all the bullshit coming out of CIG. It's a place where I can actually speak my mind without the rabid horde descending to drown out my heresy and downvoting my posts into oblivion'. So I finally took the plunge and bought an account. To me, it wasn't a huge financial investment, and I can't say I've got a great deal to contribute, but being able to post on the few occasions where I feel inspiration makes it worthwhile to have an account.

And on the other occasions, I can just make a low-effort shitpost (I have no cattes).
