Indeed. It's kind of funny how this tiny little EA game manages to have a full game loop, including the foundation of a fairly complex action- and resource economy, multiple procgen planets, and all that, and it's still just on version 0 and available at a fair price for what it is.

These guys can't know anything about game development.

Also they are already testing a patch that should greatly reduce the resource drain of the tethers.

I see what the game is going to be. More of what CR has released - broken, janky, garbage until the money runs out. Anything else is illogical.

Map your keys, ffs.
A HOTAS won't cure your lazyness, you'll still need to map the controls.

Also, playing ED with m+kb in VR is just fine, you seriously don't need a stick.
It just slows things down (while giving you a placebo ”i'm in control” feeling).

I did maped the major ones but kept getting caught out, so I will wait. And I like playing with my stick thank you.
I do have hopefully the SC refund on the way and can use that to spend on it. Have you tried DCS in the vive?

I was thinking "that's some pretty awesome thing the players built, in spite of the game not working" but then I remembered there's no way to have more than 1 of those vending machines on the map (until now), because there's only one on the station. No, this is a thing CIG had to do.

Obviously, this is the best sandbox game

Then again, maybe it's their way of dealing with working alongside a racist paedophile who's technically unfireable because his head's wedged so far up the boss' arse you'd need a 40 gallon drum of lube and a hydraulic winch to get him back out again.

2.6 HAND SIGNALS WHEN USING LASER RIFLE TURNS THEM INTO GANG SIGNS

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1 Use numpad to produce hand signals while holding the laser rifle.

ACTUAL RESULT
When using numpad for hand signals... You have normal hand signals with the regular pistol or rifle but with the laser rifle, you get funny glitched hand signals that look like gang signs.

EXPECTED RESULT
I expect to get normal hand signals. Although to be honest I love the gang signs. haha

I'm pretty sure they're feeding in money from outside sources over time to keep the numbers looking good. Say if they got a million dollar loan they could trickle that into the funding tracker if they cared whether the tracker actually showed how much money they've actually scraped together since the beginning.

I just spent £12 on two PC games that are PS vita ports, and I know they will entertain me more in the first few moments than SC could ever manage in it's lifetime.

CIG is beyond hosed. They don't have a publisher but their schedule has been determined by the shows and cons and livestreams. They use these events to present nice videos and people throw money at them. They waste their resources with things like the pupil to planet movie while their game remains poo poo. But after so many years people kinda want a game. The live stream was a disaster because they have no game. Nobody would've cared about audio sync issues if they could've shown some interesting gameplay. Now they are a media company that fails at simple streams, and don't have anything else to show. Do they have enough money to produce something that can be used to further milk people or will they crash before that? 400 workers and many studios aren't very cheap to maintain.

Fascinating how evil Frontier and Satan himself David Braben see the xmas period so differently to CIG and noble benefactor of all Chris "give us all your money" Roberts. So selfish spending their time raising money for those in need when they could be raising money for their videogame that's been in production since 1066ad.

To be fair it is inefficient and stupid, but they should totally do that and other "fidelity" features just so that terrible sluggish outcome will be all the more hilarious.

Something's wrong on the Frontier ED 24hr livestream. There's been no tech glitches yet, and the creator is successfully playing his game and is acting like he's seen the interface before today. These guys clearly don't know anything about livestream development.
