Fargin Icehole posted:so what the gently caress happened guys, some of us don't follow this goddamn thread like blitzer's situation room Nothing loving happened other than the j.patch being delayed for another 2 weeks and their schedule getting even more incomprehensible as they try to hype people for the actual j.patch 3.1 or 3.2 or whatever.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:A distress beacon is basically a flare in a different spectrum. The thing about the noise of space is that, as far as I know, it's fairly static (pun not intended). The stuff being emitted from stars and whatnot thousands of light-years away doesn't really change in the interval that something would theoretically be scanning the sky. I could be wrong though, but if you're scanning deep space every hour or whatever I figure you'll notice something changing like that. But a flare is very short lived compared to a beacon type transmitter. Only useful for short ranges.

"They did it" he applauds, at a fake demo for a nonexistent game. It kills me that CIG is now completely synonymous with failure, even among the backers - so much so that if CIG does anything related to developing a game, they get loving applause and an "atta boy" from the faithful. Even when it's fake. Unbelievable.

thatguy posted:My face when I make a working door in a videogame: I'd like to save this pic to include in posts as a reply to Shitizens when they start moaning about the huge size of the alpha patch, patcher issues, terrible performance issues, broken mechanics, unpolished stuff, bugs and no content in 3.0. It's definitely not the worse pic I'd have stored on my hdd, but then again, it's not worth it. Their anguish should be enough.

I could be wrong though, but if you're scanning deep space every hour or whatever I figure you'll notice something changing like that. My point is, you want something with longevity (because of the distances involved) and with a very clear pattern. Another constant (mainly) IR source in a system full of constant IR sources (because this is a space game and there are a bajillion of other ships, missiles, expended ammo, jettisoned cigar shipments and assorted junk out there) against a background of constant IR sources is… less than ideal. Even if the concept is the same — having dedicated stations listening for the emergency flare frequency — they're not going to be as fast or precise as ones listening for a deliberately conspicuous and stand-out radio signal source.

Beet Wagon posted:The Something Awful Forums > Discussion > Games > Derek Smart's Home for Wayward Space Sims > Star Citizen: A Treatise on Space Flares, Their Function and Use Well, hey. Even if CIG won't give due attention to realism when they imagine something new to simulate, someone has to. It's our duty as no-good forum-dwellers to get bogged down in exactly this type of minutia.  I mean, what else are we to talk about? Star Citizen?

I like that the guy is trying to portray rapt attention or something, being super engrossed. When instead he looks pissed the gently caress off at what he has been given after almost six years and is waiting for results.

I tried the free alpha a while back on a lark and have been deleting an email a week ever since. I used to think it was really funny and had much schadenfreude for the whole thing, but now it just looks like a bunch of sad, old men who've wasted their savings and ruined their marriages.  They've had twice as long as Daikatana but not even half as long as DNF...using that scale: where will the final release fall?

The most devious thing about Star Citizen is if you go to the RSI website, and you're new, it looks like there's an awesome game you need to buy into immediately. Then you do buy in, download it, and find out it's a glitchy mess with nothing to do.
