If they're cool with 2019 being the most optimistic estimate for alpha 4.0 the PU's vertical slice, this may actually go on forever. Chris Roberts has invented perpetual game development with a little help from Derek Smart breaking peoples minds.

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube


I didn't know Derek was such a huge racist, and hated Germans so badly.

Criminal lawyer or criminal, lawyer. Yeah. No difference.
Regarding the delta patcher issue, is it because Croberts desperately wants everything encrypted so you dirty goons can't see the presumably awful spaghetti code that is being used?

Here is a conspiracy theory for you all.

The way the patching works now has put off so many people from even updating anymore that a delta patcher would in fact mean more bandwidth was used per month than it is now because more people would do it :tinfoil:

No, you don't get to use this excuse, i demand a new video you angry cat. :argh:

The ongoing war against doors will never be won for CIG.

Just as soon as they figure out the whole door thing (doors being both open and closed for example), they will totally take this CryEngine modding skill to use and invent internet communication that allows for fleet battles and ground battles and on ship battles all in the same place, with twitch type combat where reflexes are key.

Oh and keeping your guy well rested so he doesn't not leap over that wall in zero-g due to tired.

Somebody needs to ask CR how he plans on mocapping all these animations except in zero-g because what if your space ships gravity is turned off but you really need to have a meal in the cafeteria otherwise your space man will be tired/die of starvation.

If I need to see this animation not in zero-g, my immersion is ruined.

Come on guys, you know you're dying to help CR figure out what his next mocap and money sink is. I think zero-g motion capture could be the ticket! :homebrew:

Anyone remember when they had an ATV early in 2016 on Persistence, and all the things they wanted to add through the year, which included character customisation (as indicated in this thread)

They've actually shown off lots of pictures of female avatars I thought. It's funny they didn't even make the cut for the totally 100% real project timeline.

I would suggest a drinking match for every CIG deadline missed, but we'd have alcoholics on our hands at this point and probably a few in the hospital.

The current timeline is absolutely hilarious. We know the very-likely-to-be-missed release date of their next alpha version, if that would do? Also Squadron 42 will always be scheduled for release "this year" until somewhere around October when it's refactored to say "next year"

  • you will not be able to fly down to the planet from space
  • there will be rovers akin to the mako for ground exploration
  • desert planet populated with several small oasis
  • playable space is less than 100km2
  • 3.0 will include a new player inventory
  • no new ship inventory in this release
  • mining will be available
  • player to player trading is not available in this release
  • crafting will not be in this release
  • the planet will only hold 32 players
  • the planet will be instanced

  • the planet will not track changes made by players
  • this will be the only planet available for this release
  • will feature 3 distinct, hand crafted outposts with new quests
  • players will not be able to go underwater (unsure if this means no water or that they can't get in water or what)
  • sqlude has been pushed to q1 2018
  • mocap cleanup still ongoing with "years" of manpower still to come
  • many npcs and quests from sq42 have been migrated to SC, as SC specific quests (3.0 planet will feature these)

quote:

What I sent you is what [name] considers the barest of bones release of 3.0. Currently, in order to hit [name]'s release to coincide ship sales, this is what we have to put out. I am beyond hopeful more progress will be made before we release this to backers. Planetary landings are posing extremely problematic at the moment, as well as AI. We were left last year with almost zero progress on AI thanks to [contracted company] but have since moved all work in-house. Most contracted studios are now gone replaced by in-house people.

I want to mention the negativity about the project. I don't know if you'll post this. I want to say many of us here believe in what we are doing. We are not relaxing in hot tubs surrounded by bikini-clad girls, smoking fat-cat cigars lit with backer money. We work very, very hard. Sixty hours a week sometimes. We try to breathe life into this game. We are not a faceless zombie army of programmers and artists. We are people. I want everyone to remember that.

We do understand the patience of people is wearing thing. Mistakes, sometimes big mistakes, have been made. I am not privy to every piece of information regarding those. We know they've happened. We don't stop working. We don't stop trying. We guide and mentor and continue to strive to make the best of bad situations.

We are years out from a full release. Please try to understand that doesn't mean never. Backers started this journey with us and I hope they finish it with us.

The released schedule basically validates that the 3.0 branch of development has been going on parallel for quite some time. One only needs to read the schedule notes to know they have many things in place.
