I seriously can't even loving believe they aren't gonna get Star Marine out.

Like what the gently caress. I have a rockbottom opinion of CIG but this is so far below that. I thought for sure it'd be out (buggy) at citcon. I knew the second they turned 2.7 into 3.0 it was out of the question but SM I figured would be the "easy win" for CIG.

Disco says the Aniversary stream is just gonna be ship updates so the citizens aren't even gonna see the Sq42 demo they were "only days away from" at Citcon. I doubt they'll ever show it.

SA been making fun of Star Citizen since the kickstarter. Making fun of obvious, impossible lies and calling this poo poo for almost 4 years now.

It's not fair to say "none of us suspected" or "none of us believed" when you were in the minority with $3000 of ship jpegs. If your personal attitude shift on Star Citizen happened around the time Derek got involved that's fine, but

Yeah each year he's on stage making some sort of statement like "It was working before the show", "that never happened before", "that wasn't supposed to do that".
And every year the crowd just eats it up.

Yo! The Mafia supports you. But don't tell no one. Spread the word.
In Star Citizen, will we be able to buy a spanner from a tool shop, and use it to undo bolts on an enemy ship's landing gear, and make it crash the next time it touches down? Will the game need us to tighten all our ship's fittings inside and out every 500 flying hours, to prevent mechanical problems, and metal fatigue from flexing under realistic g forces? No other game has such fidelity. It's groundbreaking.

The thing with Star Marine is literally no one expected it anymore. It was dead and just vaguely alluded too as a historical fuckup. Something only naysayers and goonies bring up. It was "already in the game".

Then Chris opened his mouth again. Like you only do that if its basically 100% done and as an "apology" for 2015's fuckups and evasions. But they had nothing.

They must be hard up for money because all those things including Star Marine and the Idris Walthrough but then disappear are always around sales times.


Did everyone forget that hour website presentation with all those fancy new features?

That's supposed to come out this year. Roberts said that's "something you can definitely expect this year".

Its November. December is mostly holiday. You aren't going to overhaul your entire website and add built in Discord++++many other features in a few weeks without major fuckups. Its not happening.

They are never going to get out any passable form of FPS relevant to their current work. If they went back to basics, and just started over with CryEngine, they could probably make a totally forgettable FPS on the base engine within the next year. Anything that involves their "StarEngine" modifications will always be too broken to release. Just look at how janky the game is now, and imagine shoving tight FPS cover mechanics, and everything else necessary to bring it up to the standards of even a mediocre modern shooter. I just can't see it ever happening.

Chris did a great job painting them into a corner, by promising Star Marine in the next update. They now either need to go back on that, or they are stuck in 2.5x until the impossible becomes a reality.

You have had an opportunity to PLAY and not talk about yet, STAR MARINE, that's gonna be coming to us in a few short weeks, I hope SOONER than that, but... since the EVOCATI doesn't have it I'm gonna say 'a few short weeks', um...

Ben Lesnick, Developer
(grins) fingers crossed!

Batgirl
Yeah, fingers crossed, I know how you go, there's always SOMETHING that'll keep it from coming out and we wanna know and make sure that it's ready to be TESTED and not just be BROKEN... so... I mean that's what we're DOING... um... but... but... even FPS in this game is more about SUPPORTING each other than just KILLING each other, what are your thoughts from the few hours that you got to spend in STAR MARINE?

Is that... am I getting that same feeling?

Ben Lesnick, Developer
EEee-yeah it's very team based... but uh... it... it's still that kinda FPS experience... definitely you fighting other PEOPLE. Uhh... I... I... I think it's more than just the GAMEPLAY with STAR CITIZEN, it's more... we have all these people behind the IDEA of doing FPS differently... an-ya-nuh nobody goes into... the latest BATTLEFIELD er... BATTLE... I keep calling... CALL OF DUTY saying, 'oh what, what kind of technological improvement is it', it's more... you know...

I don't know where I'm going with this...

But...

Duh... it... it feels like we have all these people with a FULL UNDERSTANDING of what goes into the GAME, ah... we... I think... which helps you a lot

Well then, I'm buying two Polaris. I'll take a fin off one ship, and will load it in the cargo hold of the other ship - carry it as a spare. After battling pirates, I'll land on some unknown world, and get busy repairing the ship with my trusty spanner. This game is awesome! The sheer vision of it all.

This post is great. It starts off by admitting that nobody gives a poo poo about the ideas subforum anymore so he'd rather post it where people will notice (and thus give the mods an excuse to shove it back where it belongs). He then goes to bitch about something that absolutely nobody in their right mind should give a poo poo about for reasons that he emphasizes in this own words. By the end he basically abandons everything, hoping someone else will be inspired for a topic that he couldn't even care about long enough to finish one post.
