The sooner you build up a strong resistance to Roberts Science©, the sooner you can just relax and laugh uproariously at the utter mind-boggling wilful ignorance and stupidity of it all. It's better that way.

How does gravity goo get "turned off"?

How does gravity goo affect incoming projectiles?

How does gravity goo react to a pipe leak and thus floating out into space?

Is it possible to store up large amounts of gravity goo? Can you crash said ship into a space station and cause a super massive black hole to form? Can you extract gravity goo from a red ball in an alien ship from a well-known franchise by an old guy to stop a procedurally generated supernova before being hunted down by an evil dude who also uses the gravity goo but for nefarious purposes?

Maybe it's, like, inert unless you run a charge through it? Or something?

I mean we're making poo poo up here already, may as well go for broke.

Star Citizen should have a ship that's basically a water pistol squirting gravity goo at its enemies to crush them.

Squirting folks with Black Hole Juice (:mmmsmug:) would be interesting weapon. The individual droplets could even effect ships on a near miss, as they are suddenly pulled toward them. Or a giant cluster of gravity goo coalescing in space could force smaller ships into orbiting them. It would challenge conventional dogfighting mechanics and add some interesting twists to gameplay.

So, of course, they wouldn't implement that in the game.

Making cargo affect the game mechanics is camatose-level game design. Think about this for even one second and you can see it's insane. Get in a dogfight and take some items and you're now slower and less able to fight? What? The obvious result is nobody carrying any cargo at all.

In elite your cargo makes your ship less agile but on fighter ships you wont even notice it. On larger freight ships it becomes very noticeable specially when going into different gravity planets back to back.

These are things that Elite has had for years and CIG hasn't demonstrated working yet despite having twice the amount of developers.

I'm so loving excited for 3.0, probably even more excited than most citizens.

It's going to be an absolute disaster and may very well be what ends up sinking the game.

I hope there is a free fly even going on so I can gently caress with citizens in game and not just poke them on reddit.

I do too because it means we would have developed technology straight out of science fiction to simulate a realistic universe and you and I would be fine tuning our robot bodies after we use quantum computers to transfer our conciousness out of our body while Star Citizen flawlessly simulates a majority of the universe in real time, real size space with millions of characters and ships flawlessly simulated down to the most minute detail.
