It has to spend time in the hands of the super secret elite avocado testers, that are soo tight lipped, that no one even knows they exist.

Or CIG is full of poo poo as usual. Take your pick.

No 3.0 for regular backers in June or July. Probably longer when Chris puts everyone on Gamescom duty.
No mining of any kind in 2017.

This is an interesting thread. The Rest of the Star Citizen Universe: Progress Update?

It seems like it was just yesterday when I was saying that they were never - ever - going to be able to build the world scope they promised. That aside from the fact that their tech requires them to build these moons/planets manually (no procedural tech to automate the process).

Now some hardcore backers who already know the original claim was bullshit to begin with, are saying that they knew it was bullshit, that they would be happy to get just some of them etc.

Oh how far we've come.

A company with over $151m can't build tools to create a procedurally generated world. Meanwhile, my Battlecruiser/Universal Combat, games built over three decades ago, as well as current games like Elite Dangerous, Infinity Battlescape, Dual Universe, all have that tech in some form or another.

It's amazing.

Actually it would pretty fast, depending on the velocity and the cone of the fumes. Space is empty, so particles just fly without resistance.

Imo the whole concept of smoke in space sucks. Future space drives shouldnt operate on burning fuel (which also produces visible smoke). The whole game is playing its physics so loose, its just really sad.

AC: going through a door and no gravity wtf. With tech like this you really should use better weapons

Also the thing with the shipdesign, no symetry, no concern with the center of mass and the engine placement (is it proven they use noclip?)

First, they paid for the features. Then, they prayed for the features. Then, they got refunds. When I finally asked for my refund, there was no money left to fund it.
