I've followed all the SC threads from the humble beginnings when it was part of the Doobie saga (rip doobie), and you deserve to get back everything you put in with no further effort or expenditure of your time

It's high time someone took the big guns to them, and Derek seems to be 99% bark with no bite, even Streetroller only had people talking enough to get refunds (and how to obtain them easily)

The more media outlets that highlight CIG's rampant disregard for their customers and the never-ending (according to CIG) flow of cash, the better the chances are government agencies will take a good hard look at things

There is no way dova will ever reach 10% on the Branson scale. That dude has 2 settings: shouting into the wind and, when somebody notices him, melting down.

quote:

You know I was gonna ignore this, but I just can't.

Treated like terrorist? What the loving hell is wrong with you? Where in that post is violence being encouraged? The only people that even bringing that up are people like yourself; which is disturbingly ironic to say the least. And here's the thing, you're advocating for the terrorising of people on this sub. Via mass surveillance, censoring, banning, naming and shaming etc. So who's the terrorist here? Cause no one else is coming close to what you're calling for. Goddamn I bet you're the kind of person who thinks Edward Snowden is a terrorist and the Patriot Act a god send. The kind of person who would have Glenn Greenwald locked up and as you've states this sub scrubbed. That's disgusting and you're shamefulness is on full display for all to see.

Willfully agitating the mentally ILL (fixed that for you) to violence? I, nor anyone else here, is not responsible for what others do. Sorry, but there's far worse sub's you can label that accusation at if you're so inclined, but here yet you come here. GTFO with all that.

Monitoring all of us? You're in conspiracy and you're pushing that kind of poo poo? Seriously? Like loving for real? First off, its already happening, and not just to us but to you too buttercup, and that's not a conspiracy that's cold hard fact. Secondly who the gently caress are you, Columbo? "I've flagged some of you myself". What!? Dude THATS CRAZY. Who the gently caress does that? Do you got a special folder with screen shots and a list of names to take to the authorities? Always wanted to be the big bad policeman but couldn't hack it or something? I don't know, and usually don't try to judge, but you strike me as the type. Wonder why that is?

Bunch of evil freaks? Yeah, once again then only one advocating anything close to violence is you and yours. Not anyone else. So what does that say about you?

As for conspiracy culture attracting then mentally I'll, okay, sure. So does psychiatry. So does law enforcement. Here is a list of the top professions for psychopaths: media, salesperson, surgeon, journalist, police officer, clergy person, chef, civil servant, CEO, lawyer. Weird, I don't see you at any of those related sub's yelling about how they attract the mentally Ill, and yet those are the highest likely professions to attract such. Hmmm. Strange.

Now, do us all a favor and leave. You clearly don't want to be here. So quit wasting your time, as I'm sure you'll save plenty not having to flag anyone. Maybe take up a hobby, something calming perhaps. It seems you need to take a step back. Either way, have a great day!

Okay, done, and I promise no more feeding the trolls. I just couldn't ignore this in good conscious.

the aircraft carrier mocap was awful but it did induce me to go watch youtubes of carrier deck guys doing the real thing which are pretty neat



also the most realistic space fighter launch was, as with pretty much any other thing you could care to name, in babylon 5. in that they just dropped them out of the bottom of the ship.

because their ship was spinning for artificial gravity, so all you have to do is just let go and the fighter "falls" away.

weird how all the future spaceships with some kind of gravity generators need so much more complicated mechanisms.

Bolded for emphasis - whether or not the project falls under the technical definition of a "scam", what you said about misrepresentation hits the nail directly on the head. This project was, first and foremost, about what Chris Roberts wanted - and he wanted to make a movie/game in the vein of the very worst of what the CD-ROM 90's first generation had to offer. poo poo-tastic games that were littered with FMV cutscenes because the industry had no idea where it was going, and figured they're try to emulate movies. The industry matured and found a way for games to separate themselves from film, so both storytelling mediums have their own approach and their own art.

Chris does not give one flying gently caress. In his mind, one last FMV cutscene hellscape is his manifest destiny, and all that money he's taking is owed to him. That's why, despite taking money for a space game, one of the very first things he did, before even getting a functional engine, was blow it on big-name actors (and his participation-tropy-wife), enless motion-capture sessions, and one of the worst "scripts" ever to come to print. If the tree that became the paper that Chris printed his script on lived its earlier times crushing the chest of a hundred dying orphans alone in the forest, it was still doing less harm then than it is now as the carrier of his mental flotsam.

Chris pulled nothing more than a simple bait-and-switch: promise Second Life in space, deliver complete poo poo - poo poo he gets to define top to bottom based on what he wants - an ever-shifting mind-dump from a narcissistic manchild who feels 100% entitled to this cash, and feels no obligation whatsoever to deliver anything other than what he himself wants to deliver. So assuming anything at all is released by this sham of a company, you can rest assured it will be only the pieces Chris himself wants released. Once he has his backers' cash, as far as he's concerned, they can go gently caress themselves.

See also: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-citizen-creator-wishes-hed-explained-games-de/1100-6434856/

IMO The real weasel poo poo taking place is Chris conflating and selling the 'universe' as somehow a game. He is building an IP (the star citizen universe) which his FMV drek takes place in. This is why he will not stop promising poo poo it's because he's just pulling a universe out of his rear end in a top hat to build his god awful movie on. There is zero engineering debt because there is no MMO. He is here to create a billion dollar brand because through sheer force of will he knows he can.

The Lude is coming out next year and probably represents >80% of the expense of this farce. The PU is a loving sideshow being hacked together so they have a context to keep selling ships 4 god dam years into this mess. Whatever the gently caress
3.0 is will be another hacked together revenue protection play because the money required for Chris to deliver something that isn't a total humiliation is astronomical.

The fact that the customers are protecting the CEO from accountability for enormous financial waste of money THEY risked is poetry.

There is no MMO, there never has been an MMO. They are selling imaginary assets for a non game and are definitely receiving private financing and misrepresenting it with their fund tracker 'simulation'.
