TrustmeImLegit posted:Hey Goon Programmer guy who got super mad at bugsmashers and wrote a bunch of bullet points. Like, this is something that does happen in the game industry a lot (though thankfully not at my studio, mainly because we don't do demos at industry events until our game is basically shipped), but its also one of the thing everyone in the industry hates the most. You crunch like hell for E3 or gamescom, and try to preimplement a ton of features, and then afterwards you need to go back and rewrite them. Like, do people remember Sonic 06? Apparently for some trade show, they branched the game and added in a ton of features and cleaned up gameplay that never got back ported into the main branch.

Having to desperately scramble to push a button on a ship console during a fight, instead of pressing a hotkey, brings fidelity and multiple gameplay opportunities. Also, it would allow them to simplify their key binding UI a little bit too - win-win.

Am I the only one laughing at all the wasted time with the extra 23984 buttons they are creating to start up your spaceship? Do these people not realize within weeks of this design being released to the public, it will all just be macro'd in to make it a 'one press' system? I laugh even more thinking about the rage it would cause on the forums and reddit about how "macro'ing should be a bannable offense because it ruins my immersion."

MeLKoR posted:Weren't they limited to one token a month already? The token was for re-crafting stuff that you melted. The CCU is to upgrade a ship into something equally or more expensive. So now, if you have a ship worth, say, $100 and want to buy a $200 one you can either: 1) Pay $200 dollars in either cash or credit, like a chump. 2) Melt your $100 ship and use that credit plus another $100 to get it. 3) Use a CCU to upgrade your old ship for $100 plus $5 for the convenience (this is more expensive than 2) but it you have LTI you keep it). It's pretty simple!

trucutru posted:Lately the dreamin' has been kinda low key. Forget being a space flight attendant or a space janitor, let's keep it real Imagine you threw the tray. The mess hall officer comes and asks you what the problem is, while a few npcs (and maybe some players???) hold back the guy you hit with your space food (and got his clothes dirty (which is permanently there until he gets it cleaned in the laundry bay)) as he tries to hit you. After you go through a bit of discussion with the players and npcs involved maybe it is decided you need to get some counselling with the on board psychologist. But first, you are going to have to clean up that mess with a mop. It is a little mini game style where you need to do a good enough job. All the while the mess hall is heckling you for your stupid outburst and giving you looks. When word of this event spreads through the crew it eventually makes its way to your ship captain. He is pissed! Your whole dynamic reputation falls with most of the ship and only your best npc friends really know what is going on inside your head to make you do such a silly thing in the first place, but even they might not be so willing to go on missions with you. And this is just one event in a tiny mess hall. In a whole galaxy of stars and planets! Imagine what else you can get up to in game!

You addressed that to the WRONG ENTITY (good luck finding the right one out of the 40 shell companies we've created). Also Sandi is listed as the POC for all BBB interactions.

The Titanic posted:I was going to say this but you got the deadlock on me. literally the only people left following this thing are goons and cultists. CIG could come out tomorrow with a "gently caress it, we are just going to deduct $500 from everyones bank account" and you know that wouldn't cause any of the cultists to leave. Literally everything is filtered through "CIG is doing it, therefore it must be good for Star Citizen!" Edit: gently caress me, i went to /r/starcitizen and the sidebar says "there are 100k citizens, 500 in the cafeteria". Even the broken cafeteria is a meme.

When will the tipping point with backers will happen? I wonder if it will start to happen over the Christmas holidays or during the post 3.2 lull (lets be real, citizens will forgive 3.0). This thread has been wildly optimistic (and wrong) about it but as this posts exemplifies, the concrete examples of Chris's lies and desperation for money have been piling up. While it will never happen at a speed to satiate this thread, it is starting to feel like the finish line is within sight. I was going to say that Citizencon will be explosive this year, but I'm not sure that it is even happening. I thought the referral contest prize was a trip to Citizencon, but I checked and it's for GamesCom...

It will not happen. They will continue to throw money into the pit until CIG is forced to come clean. The big backers are too invested to think clearly and the project failing would be pretty much *then* failing.
