I remember chatting with Matt Sherman back when he was supposed to be working on that. They were going to have bullets travel through the ship and trace damage across anything that it hit. Supposedly that would be one of the advantages over lasers, which would only melt what was on the surface. Or something. I don't know it's all jumbled up in my brain and filed underneath "utter bullshit".
one of the first things that got leaked was about the "realistic" damage model being completely thrown out/gutted

a lot of peeps were all but but but we saw it in action it EXISTS so how can it be gone????

I love how people are unable to differentiate between a tech demo and a final product.

Case in point: every edition of Star Marine up to now.

I genuinely can't decide what the funniest part of that picture is. What do you think the odds are that guy has a Constellation Phoenix?

On another note, commandos seem to believe that planetary landings are coming in 3.0 (whenever that may be) but if you look closely none of the 3.0 slides from Citcon list "planetary landing" anywhere on them, only the vague "Stanton System Rollout"

How mad do you think they'll be when in addition to not showing up until this summer 3.0 doesn't have any planets to land on?

I guess this represents the archetypal CiG conundrum: If you tell people how something will be then half the Citizen's ~dreams~ of their particular model are screwed. Smoke and mirrors CiG, smoke and mirrors..

CIG's worst moments are always when they try to actually show something.

True shark hunters would dive into the water with a couple of open wounds, no protective clothes and no weapons, if you can't take your quarry on equal terms then you're just prey pretending to be a predator.

You can skip the open wounds. Just shoot a couple big dumb hogfish and the sharks will show up. They typically don't react to people blood at all, but will come for a wounded fish straight away. Unless the "open wounds" thing was just to make you more uncomfortable.

Okay I'll stop sharkposting now I swear.

Hehe, I just picture a "sports fisherman" having a relaxing swim at the pool only to be shot in the back with an arrow then hoisted up on a weighing machine for photo's with the proud guy who let loose the arrow. Bet they'd complain like gently caress :D

The open wounds thing was purely me being nasty :)

I think people should be allowed to hunt any animal they want, but they have to do it with the same weapons the animal has. Want to hunt moose? Hold still while we strap these antlers to your head. Lions? Hope you're planning to grow out your fingernails and sharpen your teeth.

Actually, what I'd really support is a large area of land, devoid of any fauna whatsoever, where anyone who goes in can hunt and be hunted by anyone else who goes in. Basically, I want The Running Man to be a real thing.

I'm under the impression that Elite does a stripped down version of this, or did.

It does. You can target and destroy components, and some weapons have better hull penetration so are more effective at it. It's not needed on small ships aside from wrecking the cargo bay door to make them spit out whatever they're carrying, but handy against bigger craft as you can cripple essential systems to make them easier to take down.
