Sillybones posted:Isn't Elite like that? You run out of fuel or something and your only options are suicide or someone brings you some mana. It also puts you on somewhat of a timer, because once you run out of fuel your powerplant shuts down and you have at most 25 minutes of air. Though you can avoid most of that by logging off until the person coming to your rescue enters the system you are in. Shadowlyger posted:Having to pay for a replacement for your ship. Hence the typical advice of "never fly anything you can't afford to replace". It's 5% of the value of your ship + all installed equipment.

Canine Blues Arooo posted:That's really bizarre. What's the penalty for death in that game? Having to pay for a replacement for your ship. Hence the typical advice of "never fly anything you can't afford to replace". I don't think the cost is equal to what you actually paid for the ship, but it's a pretty good percentage of it. If you can't afford that, you'd probably be better off getting in contact with the Fuel Rats.

Canine Blues Arooo posted:That's really bizarre. What's the penalty for death in that game? A rebuy, if you don't have enough for a rebuy, % of value of ship, then you get an automatic loan which substitutes for the rebuy. If you're already on a "loan", and neither have the credits for a rebuy, then tough luck. You lose everything and start all over again, but you retain your rep with the factions, rank etc, like a New Game+. e: This is if you died, and you don't have another ship. TLDR: Don't fly without rebuy.

Samizdata posted:You saw the Reddit screenie I posted, right? The one about the person saying they would ignore Derek when "there was more stuff to do" in game? Tell me people like that are going to recognize the game is boring. And, even if they do, there's always the Germans. Yes, I saw it. I'm not expecting real closure, it'd be nice though.

Ramadu posted:This is actually a funny as hell post and cymelion should get more love for it lmao Not really, it's quite sad the lengths he'll go for a smug win on the internet. It's become quite obvious to many other Citizens and he's getting a lot less love for it. Even they can see the unconscious hypocrisy.

Sillybones posted:Just playing devils advocate, but SC could be just like that. In any event though, I doubt it will ever mature enough to break out of its current arena type level design; or the tiny player count. These complex mechanics they've come up with on the fly won't be an issue. Bigger issues will be stuff like trading I guess, which is kind of important, and figuring out their economy. Also finally putting a fake money price on ships and junk people paid real money for. If they ever dare to go there. I don't think a 3 hour passenger liner ride back to your home base because you ejected and got rescued will be a thing to worry about this decade.

More of a Death of a Spaceman mechanic than Star Citizen will ever see. If only E:D had more golf swing--it just might be the game Citizens have been wanting...

boviscopophobic posted:CONCLUSIONS This is really interesting, thanks for posting it. Average spend per user is particularly interesting, although I guess the statistics are very diluted by free fly events. Here's a question: when free fly events are over, do you reduce the number of active CIG accounts based on the fact that those users can no longer access their accounts (unless they later chose to buy?) It would be interesting to see how many conversions they get from these events or if they majority of activity are from people who decide that the game is trash.

Combat Pretzel posted:Yeah, like that's not going to be exploited by griefers. Didn't these idiots at RSI want to implement permadeath? The respawn function? Oh yeah, we call that Life Time Insurance, and it costs money on top of what you've paid for the game. edit: and that's per each individual ship e2: and as Titanic said- the respawn will take hours even though it doesn't have to. why would anyone play that? I have a sneaking suspicion this game was never intended for release and now we'll get blamed for it Harold Stassen fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Jan 16, 2017 |

You only have to look at every "sim" game, they gamify so much of the boring tedious poo poo that even the most hardcore fans don't care about. If euro/American truck sim was a 1:1 real world scale, anyone that liked the idea of driving trucks for 12 hours a day would just get a job doing it. Yes there are YouTube videos of people who do 14 hour real time Syd->LA flights in FSX, but the vast majority of people just pick a military jet or Air Force One and dick around doing loops and dumb poo poo.

The stronger the negative consequences the greater effect of griefing. But SC fans are mostly care bears who can't even handle dissenting opinion. These two facts are incompatible. Thus SC, even if delivered as promised,is hosed. Even elite had to create the solo play mode so the Care Bears could be space truckers in peace.
