This looks a lot like suffering.
TBF you could say the station's rotating rings are for special cargo that has molecular properties that would make it dangerous to store in areas with artificial gravity due to the way the artificial gravity is generated. But ultimately I think they just designed something they thought looked cool without putting too much thought into being internally consistent.

2.3.0e on PTU

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/4bzfvr/230e_on_ptu/

quote:

Important Callouts:
PTU players in this initial test will have access to the Khartu-al in AC and Crusader, and the Starfarer (if you have the Revel & York hangar on your account).
Players on the PTU who both have the Revel & York Hangar and do not have the Starfarer will find themselves directed into the Revel & York Hangar.
Regardless of hangar selected on the website.
The Holotable is not currently allowing players to save loadouts, or for those loadouts to carry over into Arena Commander.
Stalker S5 missiles only have a range of 30m.

Updates and Fixes

Star Systems:
Fixed an issue where the Pirate AI spawned in Crusader would not engage the player or only engage at very close range.
Fixed an issue where the remains of ships destroyed in Crusader were not being removed after a player respawned or summoned a new ship.

Ships:
Fixed an issue where the Khartu-al may spawn on its side in the Hangar.
Fixed an issue where the pilot hand position would be lower than controls when re-entering the Khartu-al.
Tuned the take-off and landing turbulence for the Khartu-al.
Fixed an issue where the Khartu-al guns would shoot up instead of straight.

Technical:
Fixed several client crashes.
Fixed several server crashes.

I'm a musician, been keeping up with all audio advancements, you're wrong. Onboard is poo poo and sounds like garbage compared to even a cheapish dedicated card. The onboard in my pretty decent rig sounds like utter trash compared to my £50 card.

That's why decent Headsets (eg, the hyperx cloud 2s) now frequently come with an additional USB soundcard dongle, because you literally can't benefit from a good headset without a decent dedicated amp to drive it.

You're a musician. I'm a game dev. Completely different perspectives.

And of course, as a musician, I would definitely expect you to take the "on-board audio is poo poo" stance.

Again, your perspective is completely and utterly flawed.

Stealth is better than Wing commander: the movie (Tomatometer ratings: Stealth 13% WC:TM 10%)
Stealth made a profit on it's opening weekend in the box office, WC:TM did not.
WC:TM barely made more money overall in the box office than Stealth (Bare in mind that people were going to WC:TM to see the Star Wars ep 1 trailer, then leaving, while people went to Stealth showing to watch... Stealth)

gently caress sound cards, buy a decent DAC and use optical out from your onboard to hook it up.
Cheap dedicated external DAC is still better than a mid-end sound card (if there are any still out there) in most cases.

Even though I really do love Uncle Derek, I knew his "They've only got three months left" predictions last year were bullshit. It's quite possible he was technically correct, in that at the time they only had 3 or 4 months worth of cash on hand at the time, but you knew that the big sales season was coming, and you knew part of the reason the August and September totals were so low, was because people were saving their money to see which limited/rare/LTI/whatever ships would come back on the market. And then in Oct/Nov/Dec they killed it, doing nearly 5m per month or so average.

Wrong.

This is how analysts work. You make predictions/analysis based on information at hand, and forecast trends.

At the time, with the cash they were rumored to have, I put that at three months.

At the time, even though I predicted - and posted about it - I had no idea that they would be dumb enough to release 2.0 in the condition that they did in order to max sales over the Q4 (their best time of the year btw) period.

Then they did.

And from the money they raised, last I checked, it bought them like maybe two months of funding. Tops.

Which is why I continue to maintain that they ARE low on funds, rely on the on-going funding in order to keep funding this dream; and that they are already in crisis mode.

I am sticking to my story because I know with 100% certainty, that I'm right.
