Just getting to the part about the concert bombings last night in the thread.

To all the U.K. goons just know that in America we feel the anger and outrage the same as if it had happened here. We share more than just a language but also a deep friendship that goes beyond borders and an ocean. Your pain is our pain and I wish all of you the best in dealing with this.

I hope it's over, especially with the crowds of the FA cup final coming up soon. I hate to think there could be more of this senseless bullshit incoming for any of us. But just know that we have your backs. No ally will rest until we drive these assholes of the face of the planet.

Us northerners are stubborn bastards, if someone tries terrifying us and trying to incite hatred between groups of people we'll just say "gently caress that" and become closer to the groups we're supposed to be scared of.

It always amused me that in the beginning of doing their best to make MWO terrible the term minimum viable project was correctly used as a derisive term and vehemently denied it, but in Star Citizen it's an aspirational goal.

You have to remember the cheese levels we are dealing with here. Chris likes to call expansions HEART OF THE TIGER and songs FULL BURN - he is trapped in the 80s / 90s and not in a good way

Its a technical software dev term that has zero place in anything public facing (or in high end software like a AAA game) but they eat it up because Chris said it and he definitely knows game dev.

Well Tom Cruise is making Top Gun 2, so maybe CIG can ride that wave for a little bit and then come off looking like a cheap ripoff lol.

Maverick we need you to come out of retirement for one last mission, you are a loose cannon but you get results *FULL BURN PLAYS*

I'm thinking Sandi has no idea the wine basket even arrived. This is Monaco GP week--I suspect our CEO and Best VP of Marketing ever are enjoying their time in the Mediterranean, knowing that even if the backers know--they won't care.

These people also think that Star Citizen will be around for decades and it's pretty much going to be their best-game-for-life literally.

drat it, Snakeyes! You hand over that badge and spaceship key right now! You're a hotshot who's too wild on the stick for his own good!

Sorry, Captain, but I can't do it. I've got a score to settle and it's time to kick it into overdrive.

quote:

Question: "Is the "multicrew ship tech" something specific to multicrew ships or will it be generic enough to be used for single seat ships? For instance, will my Aurora be "coded" like the Retaliator allowing me to have one person in the bed while I pilot the ship and a 3rd one just standing behind me even if the ship is tagged "single seat ship"?"

Chris: "So the short answer is yes. So what is going to happen is on all our vehicles is if they have an interior like the aurora, it has a very small interior but it does have it. 300i is an example of this, if they have interiors you can move around in they will have their own local physics grid. Therefor you can someone piloting it and someone back on the bed. We have not implemented sort of life support and oxygen issues yet but the system we have in terms of the pipe system and item system is something we have that is fairly easy for us to do so some time in the future we would probably have some sort of life support system so you would only have so much oxygen or air and the ability to support so many people. possibly there would be a case where you have to many people and it stresses the system I dunno but you in the multi crew release should be able to get into a aurora and someone else get into the aurora and fly and it will have local physics."

Would be at least a promise or two.

Beet Wagon posted:

At least the Aurora has windows. The guy riding in the back on a 300i has to squat the whole time and his head still clips through the geometry.

The wank pod has no windows, and that's where I'd be tbh

Topology of failure

Interesting, I find how such a failure (if it comes) is quite characteristic. If one were to put different game developers before a task - let's say simulate a human being (time frame: 1 week) - you could even clearly recognize the nature of their failure.

Peter Molyneux would give interviews about the realistic perfection of his simulation from Monday to Friday. At the end of the week, he does not produce a man, but a life simulation à la "The Sims". This would be quite charming, all people are either good or evil. After three days, there is only evil. Unfortunately, he failed to implement food and sleep; So after a week all are dead. On Sunday, Molyneux announces that
1. in his new project, eating and sleeping will be considered,
2. there also will be plants, animals, tides, plate tectonics and the lunar phases,
3. he never gives an interview again.



Chris Roberts starts with the conception of the digestive system.
Monday: Implementation in Python.
Tuesday: Kickstarter, you can buy intestinal villi with its initials.
Wednesday: Limited Special Sale of particularly attractive intestinal villi. The project was ported to Fortran.
Thursday: No one knows what Chris Roberts does today, but shortly before midnight he announces a new module "Facial Hair".
Friday: Kickstarter, there are beard hair (without initials, but with an extra color). The project is now running in Java.
Saturday: Chris Robert starts learning Italian and Russian. In the afternoon he lands in Moscow.
Sunday: Chris Roberts presents the perfect simulation of three beard hair (2 upper lip, 1 chin) of a 38.5 year old Italian when entering the Red Square from Basil's Cathedral (cheerful weather, 16 ° C, 2 Bft from northeast) and promises , Until the end of the year the rest of the chin and upper lip beard.

So a lovely implementation that wasn't talked about for months, was nothing remotely close to what was actually marketed, and continues to be a hilarious joke that reveals how lovely CIG is at making anything fun?

Sounds about right.

Can whales fund this garbage fire forever? Will we see Mars become an independent human nation, while SC will still be in pre-alpha phase?

The possibilities are exciting! Maybe SC can be a test bed for future space travel. CIG could make big bucks by licensing their tech demo to NASA or space UN.

Last night I had a dream that I wrote a huge effort post detailing the exact break down and reasoning for this project's failure, GORF style. I felt very motivated and satisfied with myself. When I woke up I was horrified.
