2.6.0lis out All this for 12 GBs lol

Fixed a number of issues with ship loadout management in the new frontend UI, including crashes.
•Fixed a number of minor graphical issues in and around the Caterpillar.
•Fixed a number of issues with the new frontend UI. •These include a number of lobby crashes and numerous graphical issues.

•Fixed a number of client and server crashes in Star Marine, Crusader and Arena Commander.

[Update]: We are aware that a large number of players are experiencing code 30000 and 10002 errors.

While this new instability is unfortunate please try and play as much as you can so we can gather as much data on these issues as possible! Thanks!

•Be advised that, in order to receive new lobby invites, you will need to restart the client after every match.
•New! Spamming “apply to ship” in ship customization will strip all items off the ship.
•Star Marine Leaderboards are not in-game this build.
•Our planned Electronic Access improvements for sequential map loading (“mega map”) are not in this build.
•Scan is not complete, please refrain from using it (“Tab” key on default keybindings).
•Missile rebalance is ongoing.
•Flight Balance Changes to include Acceleration, Afterburner, Boost, Fuel Rates, and Jerk are ongoing.
•Workaround for Front End UI Issues: Either use the old UI (ui_frontend.startup_mode = 0) OR on the main menu hit the “Escape” key and then “Go To Hangar”. Once loaded into the Hangar, you can use the Elevator to connect to Crusader or ArcCorp





Also "a number". One, maybe zero as that's technically a number. They also introduced some new ones.

nope, Prison Architect, Long Dark, RimWorld, Space Engineers, to name a few good games that stayed in EA for a long time.

True, but all of them, with the exception of Space engineers, did not go above 3 years in EA.

Prison architect lasted 2 year and a half,
The long dark began in 2014, so slightly above two years
Rimworlds just got in EA (it was alpha before) and many would argue that it is not "Good" even if i like it.
I could argue that Space Engineer is a toy, not a game. You have no "win condition" and they could simply stick a "finished" on it at any time (the survival game problem).

Maybe my estimate was a little too short or maybe those are outliers and the whole EA idea is still too young to gather good estimates.

Wait a good drat second, this screen isn't even turned on! It seems that I was wrong all along! Twitter does indeed include messages from people, even those I am not following!

In fact, looking down my Twitter feed for the last month the only mentions of star citizen are retweeted by one Richard "lowtax" kyanka, who seems to run some sort of internet comedy website.

My god, I certainly regret making all those retarded comments about Twitter now that I realise I have literally no idea how it works. I sure do feel like a bit of a twat.

Look, I know how this poo poo works, I've been looking at this entirely blank screen for literally days and it's blank as hell.

I'm basically an expert on twitter at this point and I know for a fact that it doesn't constantly pop up with random poo poo from people you aren't following just because they think you "might be interested in" due to someone you follow also following an account that liked a tweet. No sir, not even once. This is a thing I have never seen.

You seem to be treating me like some sort of moron who has no idea how twitter works. That's a lie. Twitter doesn't have any "suggested" tweets or anything like that. Any suggestion to the contrary is completely false. And don't even get me started on retweets! That's not even a word let alone a thing that would cause something to appear on your feed!! Hahahahaha, what nonsense.

I mean what sort of dumbass would accuse people of using twitter in the "wrong way" when they've clearly got no idea how it works in the first place?

Certainly not I.

Hey about this "the hard part is done" thing. Everything is going to be okay:

turbonerd (which is my favourite word for today) posted:

The Net Work code is much further along, but they can't add it until Item 2.0 is in place.
Think it was that Zurovic guy that said they can now handle much larger instances then originally planned with this new NWC.
And further optimization and improvements would lift that number even further.

As with everything CIG does, they take whatever time they need to build a solid foundation.
I think first release of the new networking code will be in 3.0.

That the super secret build that fixes everything is still alive in late 2016 is amazing. They take whatever time they need to build a solid foundahahahahahahaha :confuoot:

Maybe i'm a little harsh on the whole EA concept, but you have to remember that for one Darkest Dungeon, Mordheim or Dont starve you have dozen of Godus, Space Base DF9, Towns, Starforge or The War Z (count as 3 game, each time they tried to re-release the same poo poo.)

I beleive EA to be a very risky gamble, like pre-orders or lifetime subs i prefer to leave others assume the risks for me.

While Rimworld only just got into official EA, the fact that it was selling the same game on its own site for some time before still counts. And people are giving it very good early reviews.

I don't think you can break it down that way really, there are just way too many variables. There are also tons of poo poo EA games that released before that first year. EA can lead to some great games, and some cool games that would never happen. But at the same time it is prone to abuse and even if the Dev means well it can lead to burn out or apathy.

I'm sure there are some that are actually in that kind of rush — you know, the kind of “so, I played this new game…” smuggery that has traditionally been exclusive to the indie band scene. But beyond that, it's more that EA sometimes offers fun surprises that you wouldn't normally catch.

Subnautica is another good game that has been in EA for 2+ years. I typically don't purchase EA games, the exceptions are ones that have been going for a while that have shown to have quality developers behind it and quality work, and does something unique. Games like Subnautica, Prison Architect, Rimworld, Kerbal Space program, Space Engineers.
