Cool thread speculating about the whereabouts of SQ42: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/7610122/#Comment_7610122

It will never cease to amaze me the ability by shillizens to scrutinize and sweep CIG tidbits of "info" for the tiniest of details in order to rationalize what the gently caress is actually going on.

quote:

I'm not sure what the original sq42 delivery estimates were, but seeing all the systems that are incomplete leads me to think there's is/was a massive rework happening. Were damage states not part of sq42? AI pathing/animations? Female models? Personal weapons/items beyond what's been available for months? Environmental effects? and on and on. Perhaps they've raised TOO much money and the sq42 that was originally going to be released would draw too much criticism because the money raised far surpasses the final product?

I mean, as if CIG issued info was somehow reliable enough and could be actually used for that.

Just lol forever if spectrum being poo poo is what starts breaking citizens.

The game is basically an unplayable crysis mod where cig "fixes" bugs by removing features or functionality but having a lovely discord in place of lovely forums is a space bridge to space far.

They're still screeching ALPHA about fuckin spectrum but people are saying "why would we switch then when the current forums are better and the new ones lovely and in alpha"

They almost get it.

Let's pretend they get this procedural planets feature done (bear with me here please), would there be anything, anything at all for the players to do once they're waddling around on these rocks?

If I'm reading the thread correctly then numbers of players on a server will be very small. So what do you do exactly? Have CGI been said if they'll put monsters to zap on the planets?

He left out the parts where one developer made Pupil to Planet in his free time against Croberts wishes. Then it was shown live, because it was the only thing they had working. Now they're desperately trying to make it playable with almost no idea of what the final game should be like.

There are "pro-downvoter" goons lurking in this Reddit, they've nothing to do with the community. Part of the reason why I can't wait for Spectrum to be completed.
Also, I wonder how pathetic their lives must be if they dedicate themselves exclusively on doing that, or to setup bots for that.

Ok so my take

They had a 3.0 close to ready ages ago , but since people kept throwing money at them , cribblers went and axed the whole thing

He wants to provide the best and newest to his backers , apologies for the delay but it is in the best interest of space fidelity.

Ps buy this new ship

Honestly, I've never got why they spazz out so much about 'has to be 100% seamless, no loading screens at all ever'. Who gives a poo poo? The loading screen is an excellent opportunity to take a piss or get a drink.

I like how he's going through "old CIG stuff" for nostalgia, comes across old broken promises and calls it a "blast from the past".

Yeah, sure! Just like he plays Star Citizen constantly and knows how to actually play it. This is why he does developer streams where he shows off new components of gameplay and how the team is handling integrating them.

Oh wait, that doesn't happen either.

Uh... motion capture will save Spectrum. Just need more motion capture. And DLC ship sales for 100's of dollars.

They released a planetside demo 2 years ago, with a second location and interactive loading screens 2 weeks away. Citizens loved it and were happy to poo poo on Elite and it's dumb procgen, they had a "Handcrafted Universe".

That guy was a transporter accident between a 90 year old computer illiterate grandma and a really unfunny comedy writer.

He couldn't understand sarcasm in text form so he would go apeshit on people for sarcastically posting about buying ships and take it completely seriously thinking we were hypocrites for making fun of the game while continuing to fund it.

Also he refused to get a proofreader despite his hundreds of blog posts being poo poo like "Batman, kicked rear end, and then went on a rampage: Who knows what he do next?!"

The reason they are all upset about the forums being shut down is because it is their last bastion of dreams in which theorycrafting and putting words in the mouth for CIG with near revolutionary amounts of brainwashing that this company did to them was accepted as concrete evidence of what the game will be. Now that this is being taken from them, the game itself might as well not exist

DING DING DING! THIS and only this is the real answer to the forums closing unrest. They can't take it to Reddit because they are well established fixtures in their forums and would be reduced to the New User/Low Karma pleb status as well as Reddits /Spectrums up/down vote structure would all but silence them and their dreams.

The totally real news site that was just finding its footing, only coincidentally posted a Star Citizen article as its only unique content, and is run by an internet marketer, hasn't updated in over 2.5 months.
