Congrats. I guess you should be happy to finally get a bare-bones FPS mini-game (built on an FPS engine) at least 6 months late and after having CIG mislead backers about it for better than a year. Cudos on the success tho big fella.

We keep lowering the bar to comically low levels, and citizens get really smug about proving the doubters wrong as CIG struggles over it.

I'll admit I'm kind of lost. Derek asked a pretty sane and easy to answer question to MoMA and he loving went up like a house made of combustible orphans. Was this supposed to be a lesson for Derek in what happens when you dick around and don't do what's expected of you or something?

As far as meltdowns go it's like someone cranked up the heat at Madam Tussauds or something and it proved what? Or am I the crazy one?

I'm not sure much thought is there at all to be honest. Is there a secret trophy for petulance being handed out at the CIG LA Orifices? I think I'm in a state of shock because I consider MoMA to be what you get if you scoop a cup across the top of a pond and pour it into a human-shaped cup but even I didn't think he was this loving dumb. This isn't even a hill he's set himself to die on. More like an ant's nest.

If MoMA is a real person I feel awful for everyone around him. The few still around because they can't actually get away from him I mean.

LoD is still better than Star Citizen by a long shot. I've played both and love lod. Star Citizen is a joke and bad and also not a good bad funny joke.

And to MoMA, your a good cook but your argument skills are starting to be bad. Pleas3 post more food stuff. I genuinely enjoyed your Ryan Archering food skills.

Arena Commander and StarMarine are actually sims within a sim. They're playable, arcade game modes within the PU. Right now, they're used as testbeds. The plan is to have them as "arcade type" games to play 'in-verse.'

Looking forward to this feature.

I want to be in the hood of a space ship in a box during a massive firefight, playing a game of a guy having a massive firefight in the hood of a ship on my mobiglass [???]. There will be a box in my virtual fight and I will open the box and inside the box will be another virtual me. I will shoot virtual me and then my virtual character will stop because I killed myself in the Star Citizen world.

The real me will look away from the monitor, sweaty, out a window to see another me looking inside the window and there will be lightning and then the other me will be gone. In its place will be a Tesla, with Derek Smart looking in and holding out his hand as he says "Welcome to Star Citizen."

Not released, but you can access the files for it in the 30gb patch and tinker to make it work, as per usual.

They'll be patting themselves on the back for at least 2 months about (not quite) releasing SM lol, although it's really not anything that can compete with 2006 games let alone 2014 games.

You have (un)wittingly stumbled onto one of the games fundamental flaws, and have disturbed the hornets...



Solution: pretend that people will want to roleplay and do the sub optimal thing of staring at a shields management screen on someone else's ship vs. being the captain of their own NPC crewed ship and having strength in numbers.

There's a lot of things that don't hold up to meaningful scrutiny. The whole concept of multicrew ships is one of them. CIG has had multicrew stuff out for over a year and they still haven't done anything meaningful to make the gameplay engaging.
