Scruffpuff posted:So now we find guns are somehow tied to the suits... this is amazing. I can't believe how bad a job they've done attempting to build this game. Not somehow, they're children of the suit object, which is the child of the player character object. The weapons snap to attachment points on the suit. Without a suit, those are likely missing, and it craps out. As far as gaffes go, this one's not that outrageous. It's the fact you can walk outside naked with a gun that's actually outrageous.

peter gabriel posted:This is amazingly shady Standard practice for a company bracing for lawsuits, though. The maze of holding corporations isn't just for tax reasons. If a class-action suit does erupt, or an investigation gets opened, then CIG can rapidly yank all their cash and assets from it and stuff them elsewhere. I've seen this tactic in the wild. One of the first warning signs is that suddenly the company starts claiming your paperwork is addressed to the wrong entity and therefore totally invalid. This can be used to tie up lawsuits and derail asset seizures; not saying that's happened, but CIG have for some reason implemented countermeasures to prepare Just In Case. Might be worth checking the public-facing paperwork after the TOS change, actually. If I cared enough I'd pull the land registry records for their office and see which company holds the lease. The last company I saw start to do this also began registering its assets to strange hybrid names that could be easily associated with several different holding companies . All the better to keep them away from bailiffs.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Science fiction also tends to ignore that the relative velocities between stuff is really loving fast. Kilometers per second fast. And the distances are really loving far. Like the distance from the Earth to the Moon is 30 times the diameter of the Earth far. It's generally easier to think of distance in terms of how long it takes light to get there, since nothing can go faster than light anyway. So the distance from the Earth to the Moon is around 1.3 ls. Elite does a good job of representing the scale of space even with their FTL setup. The problem is that "real" space combat would be incredibly boring. Instead of space fighters you'd have hypervelocitic drive-by shootings where ships tried to predict where their opponents (which they could see anywhere in the solar system) would be hours or days in advance. And then try to hit those targets with clouds of tungsten dust, lasers, missiles, or possibly single shot nuclear shaped charge particle cannons. Any kind of fixed defense would be laughable. Try Iain Banks' Excession or The Algebraist for stories with these elements.

This is actually a completely normal part of game development. Once the title you've spent $115 million on approaches release you put the legal shields up and prepare for a storm.

It blows my mind they put out 20gb patches with no substantive new content (or does this one actually have new stuff?)...are they at least P2P'ing the updates or are they eating the full bandwidth cost?

I'm sorry, in what ducking universe is 20GB an acceptable size for a goddamn PATCH? That's not a patch, that's a Witcher 3ish DLC if not a full game!

Keep working on those high-fidelity models, CIG. Especially since all evidence indicates you won't be able to get a functioning engine to put them in.

I like the part where while the art guy is talking so happily about how much faster the new animations are, they loop over the Cutlass exit a few times and it's basically the exact same speed.

Samizdata posted:You all do so much with video capping and all. What's a good program to grab a screenshot of a 3D game? Doesn't need to be video, just a screen cap. I'm using MSI Afterburner to record modern games (and some hideous thing called HyperCam 2 for really old games where MSI Afterburner doesn't work), so try that one. I had no reason to complain about it so far. And it certainly works better than Bandicam. No guaranties about Afterburner working with Star Citizen, since I'm not willing to download all that poo poo just to test a program. Or willing to give CIG money for that matter.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Of course I guess if you have the ability to rapidly change velocity (maybe through some kind of reactionless drive system) then combat gets much smaller since you can see stuff coming in and dodge it. Maybe then there'd be justification for wanting to get closer to your target to actually hit them, although even then I doubt the pilots would be human since the reaction times would need to be quick enough to dodge incoming lasers or whatever. So now instead of hyper-advanced computers shooting rocks and lasers at each other from millions of kilometers away you instead have hyper-advanced computers shooting lasers and dodging each other from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. And the occasional single shot nuclear shaped charge particle cannon. Dodging lasers makes no sense anyway because you wouldn't see them coming until they hit your ship. Focusing lasers at extremely long distances while tracking a moving target would be very difficult in the first place, though. Beexoffel posted:Try Iain Banks' Excession or The Algebraist for stories with these elements. There's some dumb anime whose name I forget where they have vaguely realistic space combat. It starts off with a ship full of young naive recruits getting blown to smithereens by laser beams from tens of thousands of kilometers away without getting any chance to react.

Focusing lasers at extremely long distances while tracking a moving target would be very difficult in the first place, though. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers still translates to a distance of light-seconds. The idea wouldn't be that you're actually dodging incoming fire, it's that your ship is moving constantly so that you can't reliably hit your target because you can't predict where they will be.

Why implement it if you're only going to show 24 hours to a day? eXXon posted:Dodging lasers makes no sense anyway because you wouldn't see them coming until they hit your ship. Focusing lasers at extremely long distances while tracking a moving target would be very difficult in the first place, though. Depends on the quality of your sensors. If you can reasonably detect where the lenses are pointing and when energy is being built up, you can probably figure out when and where a shot is coming. This would require ridiculously short distances, of course, but then, as you mention, lasers are pretty short-ranged weapons to begin with, so it might work anyway.
