Septic Tank Gulag posted:As the atmosphere sours, some will retreat to defensible "green zones" behind fences/barriers with armed checkpoints leading in to them. These zones will be large and clustered around key buildings like a large metropolitan hospital or research institute. The benefit of the hospital is that it provides accommodation and treated air handling to the bedside for the residents. It also has the ability to provide In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) services with carefully stored gametes (genetic diversity). This 5th Stimpire seems a bit low on gore tbh.

Have they ever explained why Star Marine doesn't allow higher player counts, given that it's not burdened by the networking requirements of the PU? I mean, aside from the issue that nobody would ever be able to get a match started if they further increased the player count.

Honestly, I think they are trying (or implementing) alternatives to their existing serialization (which if I recall correctly I read that it was using a bloated xml representation of objects -- but I may remember incorrectly). That said, they should be getting huge wtfs from anyone with programming background not only because they are now dealing with serialization, 5 or 6 years in the project's development, but also because of their really sloppy use of programming terminology in general (eg refactoring, rebuilding) and what they advertise of doing as contrasted to what they are actually doing (eg two days of work to merge with Lumberyard done Vs maybe getting a few license files from Lumberyard and claiming they are now working with Lumberyard, because historically Lumberyard forked from CryEngine 3.6 as well). They should be getting huge wtfs from anyone who is triggered by microtransactions, pay-to-win mechanics, and sleazy marketing tactics (referral competition, selling of jpgs, fake "playable" demos that no-one else gets to actually play even though the development is supposed to be open) them still working on implementing a cut down version of that playable demo build -- delayed two weeks each passing week etc ... I think not enough people care anymore, and certainly less people want to get involved in a slap fight with the retarded crowd of shills and Crobbler worshippers.

AbstractNapper posted:Honestly, I think they are trying (or implementing) alternatives to their existing serialization (which if I recall correctly I read that it was using a bloated xml representation of objects -- but I may remember incorrectly). You are correct. Serialisation/marshalling isn't new, otherwise the PTU wouldn't work at all. They are 'refactoring' Crytek's implementation into Serialisation 2.0. It's basically moving from something suitable for FPS, to something more suitable for an MMO. In an FPS, you need to know the state of every player at all times, but that quickly becomes a problem in an open-world MMO. It's just weird they aren't calling it 2.0. It's probably just to pull the wool over backer's eyes to make it sound like they are doing something new.

Pretty much anyone who actually understands development has already got a refund is my guess, due to years of red flags being frantically waved for anyone who knows anything about coding.

Also remember that we built Star Marine as a testbed for fps gameplay which is like really funny considering it's a fork of our network code that's like two years old so any "testing" we do in it is pretty much trash data anyway

What I'm saying is that Star Citizen's modular development is going great and will seemlessly integrate into a sum that's more than its parts and I can warmly recommend it to anyone who's making a video game.
