Glad that cotton mouth didn't F your poo poo up, Beet. I'm surprised one got you. Cotton mouths are big on running away and usually I see them jumping out of my path and snake-sprinting to the water. Copperhead is a more common bite. Copperhead relies on his camouflage so he will sit still like a flounder fish and let you step on him or put your hand on him, and then it's too late.

Lately however, I have seen cotton mouths acting more aggressively. They have been swimming across the bayou straight towards me a couple times and I've heard similar reports from some other guys I know. Maybe because of spawn.

Am I reading this right and they're putting the Nyx landing zone in the Stanton (PU) system which is a tacit admission that 1) they still haven't figured out how to make inter-system travel work and 2) no work has been done on the landing zones in Stanton? Like not even ArcCorp which is presumably pretty far along because of the work done for the social module?

It can't be emphasized enough how loving ridiculous this is. Supposed to have 100 systems and they can't even manage to get 1/5th of a second system in the game, nor manage to get actual space travel in their space game, so they're just plopping it in the 1/5th of a system that they already have. Despite the fact that it'll take more money and time to sort it out properly later.

You'd think the space travel part of your space travel game would kinda be something you'd work on early during development.

Just like you'd think that persistence might be something you'd work on in the early stages of making your persistent universe.

But NOPE, spend four years working on the game and then see if you can tack poo poo like that on in the last half of development.

Listen buddy, do you think early man started right off zooming into space? No.

Early man first started off in caves, barely holding onto the power of fire.

It's good to keep a little perspective.

We need to have a fully functioning planetside game before we even think of going into space.

Also we need to have those languages made so all of the ingame UI and text is universally translated into these custom languages.

I love that people are talking about the game maybe releasing in 2018 like it's no big deal. We'll have had Mass Effect: Andromeda, No Man's Sky and CoD:IW for 2 years. We'll have completed them and moved on. We'll be playing space games that haven't been announced yet and we'll be eagerly awaiting yet more space games that have barely even begun development today and we have no idea about.

And they think anyone will still give a poo poo about Star Citizen.

They're literally going to be competing with features that haven't even been thought of yet.

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

I'm so close to wanting to start taking apart SC's object code and figure out what exactly is going on under the hood. Problems with that being that I'm pretty sure I don't care enough to expend that extraordinary effort, and decompiled object code of even the best made programs is super cryptic, and SC's is certainly magnitudes more indecipherable. I'd also have to buy an account, and run that trash heap on my computer, in a debugger on a virtual machine no-less. I can't imagine how frustratingly bad it would run.

It would still be nice to have a final answer on their 64-bit positional stuff, that's why I keep having twinges of interest while the rest of my rational brain tells me to gently caress off.

Grass carp is an invader and is taking over the waters here. It's a monster sized fish, very very armored (50% of arrows bounce), and they are totally edible.

Also, she exploded herself. Grass carp rip themselves in half trying to get off of an arrow or hook. They jump out of the water like dolphins. But I won't eat anything I shoot here, this water is partially fed by petrochemical refineries "clean" discharge.

So, let me get this straight. According to the boss we should be expecting BY THE END OF THE YEAR:

- Revamped subsumption AI
- Refactored (3rd or 4th time?) net code
- Basic mechanics such as trading, mining etc
- Nyx, procedural planets, seamless free landing and 2.7
- Squadron 42

Also, Star Marine any time now.

Cant wait.

I´d also like to join SomethingJones in my excitement for the upcoming Star Marine. Bunch of Mushroomhurts.

MVP indeed. You know the funny part though, cultist will ignore all the promises and just fixate in the other game. They will claim that whatever that SC MVP ends up featuring it will have more stuff than the other game had at launch. Quick everyone! Fetch that other space game feature list at launch and compare notes!

PS: Looking forward to SJ transcription of question no 4. That one is the real meat and sabre.
