"Star Citizen is supposed to host many thousands or even millions of players on a server... Star Citizen is to have a nearly unique server structure in its release : Virtually all players of the space simulation should share a single, persistent instance of the MMOG universe. And that could be millions of people, as long as they were a sales success."



I mean, how much bullshit is too much bullshit even for Star Citizen?

God drat it the more I think about this the dumber it gets. A house cat is a dangerous predator. The fact that you called it a loving house cat does not make it a terrifying threat to a mouse! Star Citizen has a bunch of facts that point to it being a scam- if you disagree, present the evidence that convinced you otherwise. Otherwise you're just derailing by claiming you have some kind of line on an ultimate cosmic truth (Star Citizen is Good) and waving your hands as to why. "Truth can only be determined by the person who possesses all the facts" and then he doesn't follow up with a single fact that contradicts the version of "Truth" that he disagrees with.

Someone once tried to goad me into an argument about this.
And how airports were racist because they only existed around low value housing.
All major industrial structures were racist for existing only around the poor houses.

It's some speculation that is derived from some facts.

The visor splash has been mocked a million times, because it's been seen in a ton of videos. You get a crysis suit visor water effect from crysis 3 when you go change elevation sometimes. Cryengine has water underneath all of it's maps as a function of the engine. It's been more of a random bug than easily reproduceable though, since most of the time you would cross the invisible surface boundary you are in a spaceship. CIG themselves admitted they couldn't remove the water, so you extrapolate that out to they made it invisible since you still have the exosuit visor splash effect and can't see the water.

The ships are obviously in NOCLIP, anyone who has played a game with NOCLIP can see that.

There are camera bugs with distorted bodies in Crysis

Which matches things like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVsnKbOi-bM

And all the distorted body stretching images we've mocked endlessly.

The size issue is the only thing that is pure speculation. They dramatically increased the size of the play area somehow, while still being unable to remove the visor splash or fly with anything but NOCLIP, so the easiest explanation is they made everything smaller by changing some positioning and scale variables.

Imagine Crysis 1 and make all the jeeps and characters the size of grains of sand. The island would be unimaginably huge, but then you'd run into glitches trying to track locations for things that small, and a grain of sand getting into a grain of sand jeep starts glitching out due to position errors from items smaller than the engine was designed to track being inside eachother. Position changes like 1.001 -> 1.002 -> 1.003 become 0.0000101 -> 0.0000102 -> 0.0000103 which would cause more bugs since your engine has a margin of error when processing the positions of objects, so if you shrink everything that margin of error might not change in size but it has a much greater impact.

Like a 1% margin of error for 100 votes is 1 vote. A 1% margin of error for 1,000,000 votes is 10,000 votes. A collision/position glitch might move your character at 1.0 scale .01 units and cause a slight shudder. But a collision/position glitch of .01 at 0.00001 scale causes you to be flung into outer space and become a twisted horror since it's no longer 1/100th of a step it's 1,000 steps. Which we make fun of all the time since commandos fly in all directions at the speed of light.

Basically the entire thing smells of a mod since the only changes from 2.0 -> 2.6 are just variable adjustments. It makes even more sense when you see Chris Roberts completely focused on working on and releasing Squadron 42. So in my mind they ignored the persistent universe until Squadron 42's overblown cinematic horseshit became impossible and are now switching focus to the persistent universe which hasn't worked and would have never worked from the start.

So now we are waiting for things like Star Marine, which is a separate module you load into probably at actual 1.0 scale but still possessing crysis bugs they can't remove. It's basically just Crysis 1 multiplayer with reskinned exosuits in space maps with a star skybox instead of a blue sky.

If 3.0 is another separate module without the seamless orbit to surface transitions and you just click a moons name and it loads you on a ground map it's just another mod of the base cryengine and now full size exosuits are reskinned to be space armor and crysis jeeps now look like land rovers and you zoom around running into invisible borders it's basically just a reskinned car segment from Crysis 3 or a flat island from Crysis 1.

This is just me talking though, because if this is actually whats happening it's probably legally actionable as fraud.
