Fatkraken posted:We were talking about ship design a little while ago, on that note I really like the ED thargoids. They look organic but nicely alien, taking inspiration from plants/starfish rather than the usual insects or crustaceans seen over and over from Alien to Warhammer, the particle effects are neat and unlike any of the current ships, and they have a distinctive silhouette which links them unmistakably to the 10 polygon models from a 25 year old game while still looking modern and fresh Finally Banu have come to Star Citizen!!! Oh wait that's a Thargoid! Lol

Hav posted:AWS' European endpoints are Frankfurt, London and Ireland, and there's literally no reason, other than they can't split their traffic, to route someone to the access point, then use the fat pipe in the back. Other than expense. Would expense even factor into it with AWS? Assuming each match spins up a new EC2 instance, they'd still be paying the same amount for cpu cycles and bandwidth. Do costs differ by region?

Nicholas posted:Would expense even factor into it with AWS? Assuming each match spins up a new EC2 instance, they'd still be paying the same amount for cpu cycles and bandwidth. Do costs differ by region? No, but the actual GSLB setup costs something to handle the given zone. Technically the location of the EC2 instance doesn't matter as they'll tend to route you 'close', without exposing any of that to you. It's getting to the right endpoint that matters, and that means having a VPC in each zone you want to use. You _can_ use something as belt'n'braces as a geomind lookup table for the external IP of the client (eg non-private address), and then route that to the 'right' location. This is almost static proximity balancing. Failing that, you could actually run a ping to each endpoint to find out which is quickest/least latent. Finally, EC2 instances are _really_ variable. AWS uses shared occupancy for everything, meaning you could be sat in an unoccupied rack, or a runaway peer can gently caress your performance. Most performance people tend to spin up X instances, test them and dump X-1 of the worst performers; curiously, this is really economical to do. You can also save some money by going 'spot', but most of the time it's not useful. Spot effectively bids for compute time but doesn't guarantee it. Another thing that pops into my head which has relevance; AWS does not guarantee IP addresses remain constant either, which means that you're usually invoking DNS, I _suspect_ that Lumberyard has a way of dealing with this elegantly, but it's another fun thing to consider. (When we load balance to EC2, we have to use a DNS lookup to check the IP _every_ time) edit: ^^^ So close. So very, very close to self-awareness. Keep going Boo.

So a couple of things. I think I made a pretty big mistake before because I made a bad assumption and didn't look at the accounts of Roberts Space Industries International Ltd (RSI LTD) properly. As far as I can tell all sales for Star Citizen are made to US companies. They always have been and nothing really changed in February 2015 when Roberts announced the activation of a European "publishing arm" in RSI LTD. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14433-VAT-Change-Announcement That transmission is quite misleading but it was my bad for taking it at face value which lead to my misreading of the accounts for RSI LTD. It was an early example of the now classic Lumberyard switch. So what did change in 2015? All that appears to have really changed was that instead of US companies being charged by CIG UK LTD, they were charged by RSI LTD in the UK instead, who then funnel the money onto CIG UK LTD and in turn to Foundry 42 as before. I guess they changed parts of the website depending on your locale to say RSI LTD at some point but not the store. Job done. A US company can fulfil its VAT obligations from the January 2015 EU law change without being a UK company. Not suggesting any wrongdoing. I am not a 'citizen but can anyone paste a picture of the final screen before a checkout purchase, which company is listed? Where does the money go? Does anyone from the EU have a VAT receipt for their purchase or want to ask for one since I assume it's not provided by default. Probably not the right place to ask. Again though, I'm not suggesting any wrongdoing just want to confirm that all sales are going through Roberts Space Industries Corporation in the United States.

Obviously there are some holes in the data and a reliance on the SC funding chart. I think with some common sense interpretation of what is missing you can see what most people suspected and that there was a surplus of funds in 2014 and earlier but 2015 and thus 2016 would have been running at a deficit vs SC funding charts. Updated MS paints for both years.

Updated MS paints for both years. These are rather hard to follow, but I think I misunderstood one of Derek's earlier posts. When he said 50% of their total fund-raising last year was running costs, I assumed that was overall, but the graphics imply that 50% of their total funding was for UK based expenses only? Is that true? Do we have any data on the running costs of other parts of the business?

technically speaking - the SC's gameplay based on PBR in the dynamic lighting environment is a mind-blowing tech. Nothing of the current over-hyped FPS games can be evenly compared to it. Not even closely.
