Don't like... ask them to fix the flight model, or implement any kind of physics or anything. Just buy a bigger ship. Jesus Christ. And that's not even true, I had a Starfarer, the thing was the size of a friggin house, and it still just sort of skated around like someone had put in noclip

It's all realistic thruster modelling, the only thing that's fake is literally all of it.

I'm not even sure if I prefer CIG to be doing what they claim to be doing or just flat out lying at this point. On the one hand spending ages accurately modelling each thruster on each ship and then realising the ship can't fly and so having to add in a whole bunch of invisible thrusters is funny. On the other hand CIG spouting really dumb simulation bullshit and the backers lapping it up while CIG (badly) uses the same industry standard techniques that games have used for the past 20 years is also funny. That's the great thing about Star Citizen, often it doesn't even matter what the truth is because you just know that it's gonna be funny.

I think that Chris just said he wanted it done like that, people tried and failed miserably to do it because it's retarded and impossible without literal rocket scientists, and they just started faking it all and calling it "fake thrusters" as if that would be any better to anyone that isn't a retarded whale.

Welcome to the

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Crosby J. Gardner has never had a girlfriend. Now 20 and living for the first time in a dorm here at Western Kentucky University, he has designed a fast-track experiment to find her. He ticks off the math. Two meals a day at the student dining hall, three courses per meal. Girls make up 57 percent of the 20,068 students. And so, he sums up, gray-blue eyes triumphant, if he sits at a table with at least four new girls for every course, he should be able to meet all 11,439 by graduation. “I’m Crosby Gardner!” he announces each time he descends upon a fresh group, trying out the social-skills script he had practiced in the university’s autism support program. “What is your name and what is your major?” The first generation of college students with an autism diagnosis is fanning out to campuses across the country. These growing numbers reflect the sharp rise in diagnosis rates since the 1990s, as well as the success of early-learning interventions and efforts to include these students in mainstream activities. But while these young adults have opportunities that could not have been imagined had they been born even a decade earlier, their success in college is still a long shot. Increasingly, schools are realizing that most of these students will not graduate without comprehensive support like the Kelly Autism Program at Western Kentucky. Similar programs have been taking root at nearly 40 colleges around the country, including large public institutions like Eastern Michigan University, California State University, Long Beach, the University of Connecticut and Rutgers. For decades, universities have provided academic safety nets to students with physical disabilities and learning challenges like dyslexia. But students on the autism spectrum need a web of support that is far more nuanced and complex. Their presence on campus can be jarring. Mr. Gardner will unloose monologues — unfiltered, gale-force and repetitive — that can set professors’ teeth on edge and lead classmates to snicker. When agitated, another student in Western Kentucky’s program calms himself by pacing, flapping his hands, then facing a corner, bumping his head four times and muttering. One young woman, lost on her way to class and not knowing how to ask for directions, had a full-blown panic attack, shaking and sobbing violently. Autism affects the brain’s early development of social and communication skills. A diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder can encompass an array of people, from the moderately impaired and intellectually nimble like Mr. Gardner, a junior majoring in biochemistry, to adults with the cognitive ability of 4-year-olds. Until 2013, students who could meet college admission criteria would most likely have received a diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome, which has since been absorbed into autism spectrum disorder. The social challenges of people on the spectrum can impede their likelihood of thriving not only in college, but also after graduation. Counselors in programs like Western Kentucky’s not only coach students who struggle to read social cues, but also serve as advocates when misreadings go terribly awry, such as not recognizing the rebuff of a sexual advance. When a professor complains about a student who interrupts lectures with a harangue, Michelle Elkins, who directs the Western Kentucky program, will retort: “I am not excusing his behavior. I am explaining his brain function.” Breaking the Ice At suppertime, the dining hall at Western Kentucky’s student union is crowded, clamorous and brightly lit. Students in the Kelly program, who often have sensory hypersensitivities as well as social discomfort, usually prefer eating alone in their rooms. But one night this fall, some gathered for a weekly dinner with peer mentors — students hired by the program to be tutors and social guides. The Kelly students tentatively approached a meeting place in the lobby. As they recognized their mentors among the milling crowd, relief flooded their faces. The meal began awkwardly. One Kelly student buried himself in a textbook. Another gazed around the dining hall, humming.

Chin posted:The most jarring bit was you and Beet immediately throwing your weight around with "probies" and threats of probation and suggesting people take their complaints to QCS like mini-Boraxxes. But it seems like you guys just had to get that out of your systems. I've only probated two people. One literally asked for it, and the other was Marching Powder. Beet's been on a bit of a probation kick but most of them feature pictures of Kayak so is that really a bad thing? Not to mention that most of them are also from the other thread where people have literally asked for it. Most of the moderation action from the last few days was from FAU and other mods, same with the QCS request. I know that at first glance it could look like Beet and I are channeling our inner Maul and putting all of you lowly plebes into your place beneath the heel of our boots, but we haven't been around long enough to even put our boots on let alone go stomping on people. That's all I have to say on the topic. If anyone has any other issues or concerns feel free to PM me or Beet.

It's basically a microcosm of the whole project. It's not that the individual ideas are impossible, it's that the ideas conflict with each other and make it impossible. If you want a video game with realistic thrusters and physics, you can do that. If you want a video game with crazy spaceship designs and 'ww2 in space' dogfighting, you can do that. If you want a video game with crazy spaceship designs and 'ww2 in space' dogfighting with realistic thrusters and physics... No! It doesn't work. Here's another one... If you want a game with a whole galaxy of star systems and planets which you can land on, you can do that. If you want a game where everything is in ultra 'high-fidelity' and every last detail on every object is modelled in excruciating detail, you can do that.

But having said that it also did require some actual (weird) imagination so I guess that's off the cards for CiG.
