That's funny, I see it as a religious symbol of peace. The bike travels both ways, but clearly you can only see it going right. I think this says more about you than me, methinks. :smug:

life is short - play hard
"One thing I see here over and over again is what i like to call the "Rockstar defence". Someone points out some delay/change/downgrade/whatever then it goes something like:
"You are ignorant about game development, things always change! I took Rockstar 5 years to make GTA V and they had 1000+ developers not including outsourcing."

How is this a good thing for SC?

Yes it took Rockstar 5 years, 1000+ developers an 265 million dollars to make GTA V. The difference is that it was their 5th try over 10-15 years to perfect the same concept. They have the experienced staff who has done this kind of thing before, they know the organisation, process, tools, engine and so on.

SC is developed by a new team who is trying to do something that has never been done before. 400 developers and 150 million does not sound like an awful lot if they are going to deliver the insane quality that has been promised on time.

What it takes for Rockstar to do what they do should not be the go to defence but your greatest concern."

Hey thank you.

It was mostly built in Adobe illustrator to match earlier and last year's much despised evil goon charts which are, incidentally, still completely accurate over a year later -- apart from the additional of new ships.

I think he might be confused about goons think of the game and its prospects. They probably like both far more than most backers… just not for the same reasons and on the same base assumptions.

Clearly CIG have decided that a low-effort way for them to show some progress is release a CryEngine mod with FPS and ground vehicles on a planet/moon surface map.

Forget the flying in space part; enough backers will rejoice in this revolutionary new capability that has never before been seen in the gaming world, the sections of the gaming press that pander to CIG will sing their praises, and the CIG execs get another round of bonuses from the next sale or two before they default on the loan and Coutts owns the lot.

I'm boring when it comes to pizza. I think the simple ones are the best. Margherita I like a lot or a simple salami pizza.

I'm actually cooking a lot with the thermomix, I might post some recipes later (I like the Asian cooking, Asian food over here is usually made to a very cheap standard apart from sushi, so making it yourself is quite the improvement)

Guten Tag, Kamerad ;)

It's fine, I like to tease some of my good citizen friends with my newly found goon identity from time to time and once this project is officially kaputt I think I'll have to worry a lot less about getting calls at midnight why I talked to Derek smart (you laugh... But the one time I did that actually happened)

You know, the wheel thing and the lack of windows are stupid from a realism perspective, but in a video game you'd just code it so they wouldn't be a problem.

The sale page says that it's meant for cargo transport. How many of those standardised cargo crates that CIG were showing off for 3.0 do you think you could fit in the back of this thing? I'm thinking maybe two. If they want to make a land-based cargo vehicle, why not make it a truck or something? Something that could actually carry a bit of cargo.

At last count they had 285 employees.
