Roflan posted:And why not Final Fantasy 15? That took about 10 years and cleaned up fairly well. Hell, you could argue that they're still developing it. Indeed, you could argue that they're still developing Final Fantasy 14, too... FF15 is a console game, there's no way these guys even look at console stuff they're so up their own buttholes with "PC Master Race" nonsense, in spite of the fact they've already spent enough money on ships to make buying a console look like a drop in the ocean.

We, as the big fans of CIG we are, should help out Chris Roberts with ideas to generate additional income. Imo every dollar paid to CIG is a dollar well spent. 1. Cosmetic skins: They should dedicate an entire department to develop skins. Also things like sunglasses or piercings should be considered. 2. Somekind of XP booster is needed, if there is a skill progression system. People who work 60 hrs/week should have a chance vs people who play a lot. 3. Various fees for shiphandling should be introduced. I am thinking about docking fees (like per hour or day), taxes depending on used weaponry, fees to be able to fly in UEC space (the same thing for all other empires/factions), fees to support your faction. People can pay that easily with the real money to game money conversion. 4. There should be special job positions available (ie: station chief, weapon chief for a sector or system) for people who spend more money than others. Those people are more involved in the universe and should be able to influence the economy/society/war. Working in those jobs should require a daily/weekly payment to CIG to make sure its taken seriously. 5. Imo CIG should use more ads ingame. All scifi movies are always full of colorful, in your face ads, why should be Chris' universe be different. The should use the helmet HUD for it. Also who cares if an advertisement plays on your ship control monitors when you fly in space. Just consider it realism. EDIT: I really want SC to happen, so please just ignore the few problems they have with marketing and buy the new ships. No new found company runs smooth everytime, our job is to support CIG to the fullest. To the goon haters: Just consider how much further you all be ahead in the game if you spend money now. With the advanced AI crew it should be possible to command a few ships alone, so the standard mass ship goon strat shouldnt work.

I was at a kids birthday party today where the kids were making robots out of LEGO to battle each other. I was listening to them and that's when it struck me that they're exactly the same as people who are still into star citizen. The kids would endlessly debate what to stick on their LEGO. They had 90 minutes to build and spent the first half hour or more just arguing over what they wanted their LEGO to look like. I walked by and say just a pile of pieces on a table with 4 kids standing around arguing about what their robot should be, weapons, wheels, shape, etc. After 90 minutes, each side made something with 4 wheels and something poking out in front that didn't do anything. Then, after that, came the endless deliberation over the rules. These little kids were all fantasizing about all the ways their robot could win. It was pretty fantastic to watch how they came up with all these rules and regulations. What ended up happening is their LEGO robots slowly moved toward each other and bumped into each other. Then both sides declared themselves the winners. Then they were distracted by pizza. My point is that the kids really had the most fun in the speculation and buildup. The actual final things they built were disappointing. Well, maybe not to them, but they're kids. I'm just seeing some very strong parallels to star citizen. Sadly, there was no LEGO robot court to serve as a counterpart to SPACE COURT.

6. Do away with CCUs entirely (announce a cut-off date -- "make those final decisions now") and, from then on, open all ships to all backers during the alpha. This would simultaneously be the best and worst PR decision ever for CIG.

Also, did a little girl come in and try to sell robot pictures to the other kids? I fail to see the similarities here otherwise

If 3.0 gets pushed back a bit more (which it will) it will then fall over in August (or has it already?), and there's no chance in hell they are releasing 3.0 publicly in early August. Also no chance in hell they are releasing it in late August to coincide around gamescom when they will be in crunch mode to create something fake for GamesCom -- and also the backlash for how terrible 3.0 will end up being won't be good climate for their gamescom presentation. So, new guess, they release it either September, or they push it all the way to December and release it just before closing down for holidays. Which, as much as I hope that's what happens to the Shitizens who still dream away the real issues with this crappy project, I'd really want to see it earlier than Fall/ Christmas.

Wasn't the original Prey: 1) Scrapped and started over a bunch of times 2) Pretty poo poo outside 2-3 novelty "oh look I'm on the ceiling/teeny tiny now" moments Not sure if it ought to be removed like APB lest someone realise that maybe long dev cycles fraught with bullshit lead to mediocre misses more often than they do to gold.

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards. Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will. Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect. However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps. Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection. All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever. Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed. Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable. Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average. Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule. Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed. The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.
