Thanks Ben for admitting that only a dozen people work thousands of manhours on ships and have several outside studios actually doing the work for the jpgs. Also all that 'what will the ship do" theorycraftings is literally wasted garbage time because you have 0 flight model and 0 mechanics. Everything will change.

So what did I miss in the last six months?

Is this game real yet? Has Derek admitted all his stuff was fake (game is toast in two weeks, etc a year ago?).

Has crobbers and Sandler done anything dumb recently? I miss obsessively reading the thousands of pages posts that this topic generated on a regular basis, but I quit my job and now no longer have the time. If can get summary, would be appreciative.

Chris Roberts and the gang wowed everyone at CitCon with a bunch of "live" gameplay that he assured everyone was not staged and was representative of the state of the game in the next version, 3.0. That version will be released before the end of 2016. Everyone was very excited.

It's still not out and they now refuse to say when it will be ready. They did release Star Marine which is a dull bullet sponge simulator with no anti-cheat.

So what happened to the usual Friday schedule update?

quote:

Disco Lando | CIG@DiscoLando-CIG10:58 pm
Basically production has to cull all the relevant data, go through IC reports, see what worked, what didn't, what still needs fixing, make priorities, then examine progress on intended features, put that all into some production calculus that's way over my head, and then spit out a schedule. Some patches take longer than others, so I don't know when the first version of the 2.6.2 schedule will be ready, but I don't think it's gonna be tonight.

ah.

Any time you ever read any kind of meaning anywhere into it, they are wrong and you can giggle like I do. I read the other day that it was because you can go into space in your underwear, so that = commando. That's funny to me because 'going commando' means you have no underwear on, and I've been saying it long before you could change clothes anyway. I must protect my legacy, I will start a blog

Interesting read, but this one particular passage stood out to me :

"I am ex military so I used to be in really great shape until my thyroid was cooked by the nuclear ship I served on via radiation leak. This made me fat but really never affected my health in any serious way."

Unless he served in the Russian Navy this is complete and utter bullshit. Our carriers and submarines don't just spring radiation leaks. The dude was a Fire Controls Technician and would not be hanging out in the spaces close enough to the reactor compartment to be impacted by the fake leak.

So supposedly they are working on 2.6.2 but have no schedule describing what they need to work on to release 2.6.2. Sounds about right, 3.0 must be around the corner.

I'm going to miss this debacle when it all goes tits up.

It was year five of the Stimperial Empire Special Citizen's Calendar. Roberts sat in his study smoking a Cuban cigar and scratching his ballsack. The walls of the room were comprised entirely of authentic WW2 fighter plane wings, at a cost of just under seven hundred thousand dollars. He loaded Sim Celeb Porno 6 onto his Playstation 5 prototype, and equipped his Oculus Rift as he prepared to fap. Sandra, his secretwife, had been denying him sex since the fundraising numbers failed to meet burn rate goals for the past three months in a row.

A terrified Ben Lesnick had just finished reading the Chairman the backlogged backer feedback consensus report. He was covered in sweat and there was a dribble of urine seeping through his pantleg on the left side, just below the crotch. Chris grumbled to himself for a few moments, like a resentful child being told to do his chores under threat of allowance denial. Ben cleared his throat. "Uhh...They're.. they're saying the PU isn't fun, Mr. Roberts"

Finally, Chris spoke. "What do you mean it's not fun? This is bullshit, it's a goddamn sandbox! Chris ripped the Oculus Rift from his face and threw it to the floor. "Let them make their own drat fun!", he snapped bitterly as he resumed counting his one hundred and fifty million dollars.

Oh great you again
