kingcom posted:Please explain this you hack fraud. Well, the most important thing is the idea and that's where you need a visionary like Croberts. Once a genius has come up with the idea you create the UI and that's where most of the hard work is. Now a dev just has to layer on some code to get it working. And finally you layer on some more fidelity. Also this is so stupid and wrong I'm now 100% sure it's the CIG method. "OK guys, our artists came up with this sweet ship and UI, now it's dev's turn to make all the buttons and switches do something. Oh, and make sure it's highly immersive with maximum fidelity! "

Did a google news search for "Star Citizen Chris Roberts" and have to say I'm shocked at the amount of positive press this thing is getting. But there are a couple of diamonds in the rough. https://heatst.com/gaming/huge-crowdfunded-project-star-citizen-gets-negative-articles-scrubbed-from-web/ quote:That is, if it ever comes out. Star Citizen has been in development by Cloud Imperium Games since 2011, promising empty release dates since 2014. Every year it seems like new features are promised, yet not much is actually delivered. The game in a basic form is available now to its highly enthusiastic backers, who can purchase space ships through donations. The full package of every ship costs $15,000 and some people have actually ponied this up.

dealing with the wrath of the citizens, plus whatever ambiguous legal mud cig throws, is probably a pretty good disincentive. also the whole article would be the usual "oh here's more promises that it's coming". and then it becomes an argument about believing cig. because solid intel on cig's internal practice is borderline impossible to come by, there's not a lot more to report on other than that, unless you want to deep-dive into derek smart blog posts. and even then you have to knuckle down and drag through his "two weeks they're hosed legal action inevitable the end" hyperbole, plus all the convuluted interior linking, to make sense of it. what i guess i'm saying is, this thread is actually the best place for star citizen news and analysis. and this thread is loving

Yeah, that was me yesterday. "Boy," I thought to myself, wrapping up my 149th hour on the steam version of Elite (and probably triple that overall), "I really am unhappy with the direction this game is going." As I thought this, I hit the boost on my fully engineered combat fitted Imperial Cutter, snaking into the station mailbox just ahead of another player's slow-rear end cruise-liner coming to land on autopilot. Quince was way, way more full of players than I thought it'd be, due to the newest "Exploit" which involved running passenger missions from the station to a beacon literally 20 seconds away. I had picked up a bunch of wanted passengers and didn't want to get tagged by station security on my way back in, so I didn't stick around to wait in the slow queue of Blue Danube-playing motherfuckers. Luckily the Cutter is 3,000 tons of shielded gently caress-you, and doesn't really encounter obstacles, when going full speed, so much as suffer moderate turbulence and leave a field of devastation in its' wake. "I mean, the game is an inch deep!" I mentally repeated for the seven thousandth time, as I navigated the menu in the station and ordered a bunch of my core internal equipment transferred to the station. I'd gotten kind of bored with the passenger running and figured I'd throw in my fighter hangar and go host a multicrew session at one of the four or five conflict zones dotting Quince, as it was apparently in a state of civil war. I can only assume Quince is in a civil war because so many commanders are assisting all factions equally, and something about the rapid growth in strength triggers a conflict state in the background sim. I don't know, the way Elite does background mechanics has always been kind of obscure. "There's just so little to do, and the devs aren't listening to their players" I lamented as I queued up to join a multi-crew session while waiting for my ship components to transfer. I was placed in the jumpseat of somebody's federal corvette and immediately launched to go fly my fighter around their mothership, along with the host and another player doing the same thing. "I feel like the only thing left to do is go poo poo on Star Citizen, which is much better in every way" I mused while hugging the belly of an assault ship to keep its forward-facing guns from tracking my unbelievably fragile little fighter, dumping plasma repeater rounds into it all the while. "I remember that one time in SC where I shot at a dude from space with my rifle and he died and then t-posed through the floor and then his ship exploded for no reason and jerkily spun off in a hundred different directions. So immersive! Elite will never match that," I reflected sadly as the three of us took on a 3-man-wing composed of an anaconda and two eagles in a rolicking, deadly laser-light show through the asteroid field that was our current hunting ground. Battles won and items finally transferred, I left the session and collected my meager earnings. "It's just too bad that they didn't have Chris Roberts' vision" was my sad thought, as I surveyed the in-game galactic news before leaving for one of the conflict zones. Turns out a year-old forum and internet based ARG had come to its conclusion, with players discovering an abandoned megaship far out in one arm of the galaxy, along with a bunch of audio logs furthering the shared story line. "Some day, when Star Citizen is out and good, people are going to be asking hard questions about what went wrong with this game" I concluded, boosting back out of the station. I had several hours of shallow, tepid gameplay to experience before I logged off, and I couldn't spend all night worrying about what might have been. But I was resolved that tomorrow, I would really let those Citizens feel my grief. It was time to post... Dangerously.

EJECT IN ARENA COMMANDER, THEN KILL ENEMY WITH THE SHOTGUN. ACTUAL RESULT You are able to kill NPC pilots when they are waiting for you to respawn. EXPECTED RESULT Make them fly around so you cant hit them with the first person weapons. (great bug though!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNJCzYSwjs0

EXPECTED RESULT no loss of gravity I expect the EVA controls to work for all armors equally: I EVA a lot, it's not that I made a mistake in pushing the wrong buttons or having a screwed up keybinding. The rear shields to work To respawn as normal. The game ends, the player with the largest amount of points wins. Crusader and aera18 must not disappear Access to my friend's server, should be automatic Move to the elevator and exit ship. Fly into space and do your mission. Come back to ship that is not spinning. Enter Elevator and close it. Walk to pilot seat and fly off into space with yourself in ship. No duplicate text in midair. That i was gonna Respawn That i have control of my character and i i can move normally. Looting the booze bottle as normal without breaking the character movement Freely enter, leave and reenter the cockpit. I expect any armor glitch to be fixed on re-equip. I configure my cutlass or hornet vessel on the head attachment point. I put a gimbal s3 sawbuck gun and ammo pack. I save and apply to the ship. And after a tt momment I have a 10002 error, connection problem. Which exists only on starcitizen. And that goes out. Anything but exploding the ship and crashing framerates for the server. shouldn't be happening if you make a spring sale please make sure it works The Ship should not speed up after leaving the mobiglas or the menu. Expected to be able to swap weapons between the two ships without incident Pilot should dismount to a location beside the pilot's seat still inside the ship. Warning labels are not mirrored I should be able to finish the game. Label is not mirrored when viewed at any distance NPCs, both enemies and allies should proceed with their routine program Working ability to adjust power levels The ship, being much heavier than the player, should not move at all. The player should be able to climb in without shoving the ship away. The sticker "WARNING" should be written readable. You should go out as you came in. The /help text should scroll up normally like all other text. but wanted to play Star Marine Button should be visible at all times. back to game menu you can check my error dump from 2017-04-17 20:52 CET Nothing should happen that way HUD should not be visible in the menus. That It fit That a S4 item can be spawned on a S2-4 fix point usually, it clears the moment I initiate my Quantum Drive Normal liftoff from criminal asteroid station Ship remains stationary Lights should be able to be toggled Attaching weapons to hardpoints should reduce the number of unattached weapons. Attaching additional weapons should leave the previously attached weapon where it was. Recommend launcher auto closes on game launch. Player does not fall through floor I should be able to see the screen layout properly and my camera view should be from the cockpit. Should have been unable to push into the wall and subsequently into the abyss. Nothing much else to say I`m not able to properly scroll up with the mouse wheel When the game crashes the crash handler should read the data. Proper animation i would expect to not be able to run through the door. i would like to have to hit the first button to open the door and then after hitting the second button inside the pressure room, i should wait the appropriate amount of time and have the second door open, allowing me to advance to my destination Stay inside the ship. To be able to play the game as chris roberts intended, using my flight stick or at least to be given an error code so I can begin to fix it please. Expect max window to remain so. Character should not contort body parts to reach object https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-ln9uPvUBM
