Marching Powder is objectively the worst poster known. He also needs to learn how a keyboard works.

I bought a game on steam last night for a fiver. It was a port of a PS Vita game. I played it for 7 hours straight, found it very playable, totally compelling, funny, witty in places, and it never crashed. I only stopped because it was 5am and I was totally shattered.

Meanwhile over at the international community…

When confronted with some critics suggesting that CIG should stop selling more ships and focusing in developing the ones sold and the actual gameplay, Top Cultist #1 had this to say:

quote:

“The 85X was done because they had to recreate Origin´s materials and look and it was easier to make the prototype in a smaller ship, as they did with the Herald for Drake. And this ship had been promised years ago, so it was a good candidate… the fact that they sold it during the anniversary so to have an LTI basic ship at 50 USD is a great coincidence, don’t you think? :D They will then later use those materials to build the 890 and reconstruct the 300s series which is going to be used by a lot of people and because it has to be adapted for 2015+ technology. It is part of the development.

With regards to launching additional ships, my opinion is that they [CIG] should never stop adding new ships. Let´s take things in perspective please. This year, 2016, they have made flyable the following ships (I include 2.6 since those are already ready):

1-Vanguard Warden
2- Sabre
3- Khartu-al
4- Starfarer and Starfarer Gemini
5- Reliant Kore
6- Argo Cargo and Personnel
7- Caterpillar
8- Herald
9- 85X

And this year they had made these ships as concept:

1- Vanduul Blade (a ship for the bad guys,… so we can count it)
2- Prospector.
3- Buccaneer.
4- Dragonfly.
5- Terrapin.
6- Polaris (the corvette was promised in 2012, because the Idris was promoted to Frigate, which was already promised in 2012)
7- Prowler.
8- Vanguard Hoplite (in 2.6)

As long as they keep on adding more ships than they launch as concept every year I think we all win, don’t we? They make new ships and concept new ones too. Some go out, and some go in. This should never stop: Those who make the ships are dedicated to that and will still be dedicated to that after release because the game revolves around all kinds of vehicles and a shooter. They have to give us ship content because it is through those ships that we experience and get variety the Universe in Star Citizen.


Star Citizen: When gameplay means gently caress all and all it is is ships.


When confronted to the question about the crazy prices of the sales, Top Cultist #1 of course had to regurgitate the party line that all prices can only go up (remember, remember, real estate only goes up, dot coms can also only go up) and better buy now or suffer the consequences. I swear this guy must be on CIG´s pay roll and has been told that he has to implant the sense of urgency to buy now among his community… The issue of gold farmers, which are the ones that put a cap on prices in these situations, completely ignored of course.

quote:

“Oh well, there is no doubt there is going to be a big controversy [at launch], especially if this affects the ships that most people have, that is the first 6: Avenger, Carrack and their variants. I am going to laugh when people see that an Aurora which costs about 30 USD will cost, say, 100,000 credits in game, and a Hornet of 110 USD will cost 900,000 credits in game. Or even worst, when people see that a Connie Andromeda that now costs 225 USD will cost 3,000,000 UEC and a Carrack that costs 350 USD will cost 30,000,000 or something along those lines. These are figures I am making up, to be clear, but I want to warn as much as I can in advance to avoid those recurring dramas that will happen once the game goes Live. The economies of scale [SIC] is going to leave a lot of people in shock :D . There are ships that are worth UEC x4 or x10 what they are worth in USD and they are spread around the whole range of prices today."

Is there some kind of requirement to not be familiar with anything gamelike that has come out since the mid-90s to be a citizen? Or a mandatory memory erasure? Something like “Do you part! Ignorance guarantees citizenship!”

You keep forgetting that there was a misconception between 64 bit floats being used in a co-ordinate system and 64 bit floats being used for GPU calculations. There was a time where fans thought the engine was going to be so advanced that the rendering was being calculated at 64 bit precision for the highest fidelity. They were even discussing how current 64 bit GPU performance wasn't anything like 32 bit performance. There was also some theory crafting around AMD and Nvidia having to catch up to CIG and produce 64 bit GPUs because it was the future of gaming.

Oh, I am well aware. In fact, that was part of why I made that post to him in which I outlined the differences between the three 64-Bit entities those backers keep misinterpreting.

Fact is, I can't keep pushing Ben too hard or he's just going to stop responding. :negative:

Though I think today may just be the tipping point. For the avoidance of doubt and FUD, I would love to have on-the-record answers to those five questions. So I hope he indulges me.

And here they are at it again: Now they are theory-crafting (with a bit of borderline doxxing mixed in) StarNetwork.

The more ships they add the better it will be for the network code to handle the damage states of ships in combat on a singular server universe, while people are also having a FPS shootout in the cargo hold of one of them.

The Big Ol' Rocketship Is Dead: Long Live The Big Ol' Rocketship!

The team at DSNABA is currently building the first cookie platters for Bakery 42, the culinary experience that will launch you into the Choc Chipizen universe. The bakery's menu calls for the customer to start the meal with a smaller baked good. We assigned them the Big Ol' Rocketship, the scrappy little cookie with a fierce bite already designed and presented to you. Unfortunately, this necessitated some refactoring of the pipelines.

Working from the Big Ol' Rocketship for this piece seemed like a natural fit… until the team whiteboxing the interior found that the original concept was not sized to fit with the chocolate chips. Since the BOR would need to carry multiple chocolate chips (in both Bakery 42 and the persistent universe) they needed to expand the surface area. Other additions, necessary as we learned exactly how a cookie would function, necessitated more inside: greebles for better chewing, TR6 flavor clusters to replace the TR5's and so on. The Big Ol' Rocketship needed to get bigger and better!

In the end, the cookie was a full hundred meters longer and a much more imposing meal than the light snack we originally imagined. As such, we have made the decision to reclassify it. The Big Ol' Rocketship is now a pie, and existing fiction will be updated to reflect this change wherever possible. We are not removing BOR's from anyone’s inventories; everyone who owned BOR cookie yesterday owns a BOR pie today. I’m hoping existing backers will be happy: you’re ending up with twice the baked good you pledged for!
