Hello Commandos
We are still at the start of all this.
One by one ships will be released (if everything goes to plan) and one by one a million nerds dreams will be still born and the backlash will be funny.
That's before anything like a game is released, when that comes out (lol) it'll be a stripped down bare bones version of what everyone was promised.
At that point things will be in full swing, everything so far is just a tiny taster and that thought is pretty mind blowing. We've seen nothing yet, the train hasn't even left the station in all reality.

That's the greatest thing - it's already the most entertaining trainwreck I've ever seen via SA and it's not even close to being finished.

I like how the last two days that subreddit has thrown a fit over SA because:

1) of that twitter account which noone here has taken credit for
2) the paywall which has nothing to do with this thread

we've become so notorious in the SC community that they now auto-troll themselves on our behalf.

Great stuff.

By the way do you want an optimised version? Those cans really don't need 21k faces each, unless you need the fidelity that normal maps can't bring.

Ideally, it would be cool if the second the ship takes damage, or accelerates too hard, the cans fall off since they're only held on with blu-tack, leaving the ship to careen out of control.

That would be great!

FWIW, I'm going to add a rigidbody spring hanging off the back of this ship. Connected to that spring? A chair.

That goes without saying, the question is what its user score will be. I expect the cult to go on a full-on assault to rate it 10/10 for ~vision~, ~fidelity~ and ~sunk-cost~

I can't imagine the cult will turn on CR, no matter how lovely SQ42 will be. I mean, there are seriously people arguing that Star Citizen Alpha 2.2e is better than fully developed AAA titles.

It appears to be. I also remember people getting ships into that social module thing.

e; I'll bug some friends that I know took ships for a joyride around the social module to see how they did it.

Like any massively hyped game it will be lots of 10/10s and lots of 0/10s, user reviews are so worthless.

I don't know how much has been done yet but I quite like the idea of all the ships being household stuff glued together by a 4-year-old, that would be a pretty rad aesthetic

Totally. The general vibe is Hardware Wars.

The concept right now is three main factions, with their own ships:

- Goonrathi (super lovely junky ships, lawnmowers, rideable rubber duckies, etc)
- Stimpire (scary looking alien craft)
- Sperg (overly glossy and cartoony "luxury" ships)

I found this free model, will definitely the flagship of the Sperg line. Working title: "Sperg StarWhale"

Well obviously until SC releases there is nothing at all to play on PC, so, even though they are forced to give themselves lashes and tighten their cilice for it, console games is all they have until the glorious vision of The Christ CRobberts is realized...
