MilesK posted:I've actually met a grown adult, in his 40s, who lived on expired bags of Halloween candy, bought with food stamps, and played some Star Wars mmo all day. He was actually a cool dude who shared his awful weed with me. Point is, gently caress the common excuse they need to eat. Look for a new job now. To me, anything sounds better than CIG. Unless, I am completely mistaken (and I might well be), I am pretty sure the CIG offices are in areas with pretty brutal housing markets. These folks might not have the savings to live without a paycheck. And I think CandyDude is more an outlier than something to base such an argument on, frankly.

Loiosh posted:You had a nice talk with Tipp about this which covered the issues with lasers being used as direct weapons. They're not good for it (because of beam divergence, coherence of photons, and most important, slow effect). What I was referencing is things in the future when some future technology has far better ability to focus energy coherently. The point I was making, and what general relativity tells us, is that all energy is mass. Did you get a refund

re: eightace I'm wondering if hobo santa was the guy going to leave. He's got that 1000 yard stare thing going on (although it could just be for show), and probably one of the few people CIG would throw money at to hang around for more of the poo poo show. Whether he's any good or not is maybe not important - the important bit is that he is on the front line. Loose a programmer/designer and the Citizens can put it down to 'just moving on'. Loose chief community person and the community focus is deeply destabilised.

Star Citizen exploits both markets without a product. You should feel great shame if you work there.

Posting from the past but this is not true. The electrons aren't leaving the flashlight, they are moving from one terminal to the other. The only way the flash light could lose mass, and thereby weight, would be if the tungsten (I am assuming an incandescent flashlight) is exposed to atmosphere and thus loses mass to atmosphere while heating. Tungsten enclosed in a glass bulb would not lose mass to atmosphere. What you're saying is the equivalent of "Does a 2 pound box weigh more on the ceiling or the floor? It weighs less on the floor because it has less potential energy." Now, if the flashlight were nuclear powered that would be a different story.

I wouldn't have been shocked to see someone throw down 20 bucks to buy back in or whatever - in fact if I thought there was a chance in hell of getting a refund now that's exactly what I would do, get a refund and buy back in at the minimum for griefing and enjoying this broken janky piece of poo poo. When I read his posts I got the impression that he was in for $2500, got a refund and then bought back in for a lower figure when 2.0 came out, not the other way around.

ZenMaster posted:Trying to eff(g0rf)t post, but... the mess is too far gone... I am trying conceptualize how turrets SHOULD work in the SC universe. As they are now, I can't even believe it was implemented. It's literally like having a calculator to solve a complex math problem in space or you die, and then eating it and pulling out a piece of paper and a pencil. Why? Star Citizen is set 900 years in the future and Chris created a world that is more like maybeee 100 years ahead with massive technological set backs (apparently) or just plain dumb decisions. Auto turrets must exist because they exist in 2016 (and have for sooo much longer). The reason they exist are many fold: I thought it was a good read, ZenMaster. I think Chris Roberts distinctly Anachrofuturist™ vision of space ship design, combined with his coercive view of immersion and his complete obliviousness about WHAT MAKES GAMES FUN, will consign turret combat to the sad fate of so much of the gameplay. What could be a blast will be a chore for the sake of verisimilitude as defined by a person who actually thinks the more work you have to do to achieve even the most perfunctory of tasks while gaming, the more realistic your gameplay experience will be therefore SUCCESS. I mean, 60 minutes ago, Lando said that obscuring the view of players (as in the Freelancer) with space-blinder cockpits was a big part of their game balancing philosophy. Surely that came right from Roberts himself. I get that merchant ships might have less visibility than a nimble little dogfighter but game balancing via space horse-blinders that block 70% of your view of space? I know that's a tangent to your point but UGH, it all is just so idiotic it still sometimes amazes me. Sadly, I think there's a particularly futility in theory crafting improvements to gameplay mechanics, which I'm sure many of his talented developers have faced first-hand. It shouldn't be that way of course, because for a man in his right mind, the gameplay mechanics are the very heart of any game. That they seem such a tertiary concern for Roberts below "Immersion", and "Fidelity" speaks volumes.

If you want to add another layer of idiocy onto turrets, you are supposed to go through an airlock when you are in them so you are essentially 'outside' the ships hull so if you get shot to poo poo you won't gently caress up the pressure of the hull

I think every department has its own roadmap that they don't show chris or any other departments, because they would just get in the way and ruin it all. Also they have to change priorities all the time because chris found something insufficiently fidelitous If they had a roadmap for overall development they'd have no reason to claim otherwise

I mean there must be some sort of plan or structure to development? it can't literally be 100% piss in the wind, can it? That's what so amazing about this project. There is no roadmap. They designed ships on paper, threw together a space station, most of the paper ships didn't translate to in-game assets, so we have lovely ships and a lovely station. Gameplay isn't even on their radar until they can get the physics working. Chris thinks if you just throw ships and environments together with guns and all that other poo poo, a game will pop out of the other end.

The Walrus posted:it can't literally be 100% piss in the wind, can it? I am quoting it in full because it's the answer to your question in elaborately damning detail. ScruffPuff posted:"We've all read the stretch goals, and we all had ideas in our minds of what this project could have been back during the Kickstarter. Many here, including myself, backed it. Some were so taken in by the possibilities offered that they continued to back it even once the problems started to surface. Very few people wanted to consider that the game would outright fail; I assert that the latest PTU patch instead indicates the direction I personally feared the project would take: the path to mediocrity.

But as soon and CRoberts produces a notarized document where he explains how the game is just not going to come out I'm sure Loiosh will be the first to double-check it and then ask for a refund, after waiting a week or so to see if they post a retraction.
