You can't in E:D. I've tried.

While it's true, that you can travel in any direction for an infinite time, when you finally get to another system without using hyperspace, there won't be anything there. You're at the right spot, but no sun(s) or planets will exist.

But we're not talking about another system. What he's attempting — in-system travel without QT — can be done in any number of games, including E:D, and wasn't even unique to SC back when the whole thing was first conceived. The only reason you'd do it, though, is because of the severely foreshortened scale that SC offers.

We can't really talk about anything else, since that's all SC has on offer. There are no systems to go to, just different parts of the map.

Yeah, pretty much.

When I posted my Tweet on Thurs, I specifically didn't say anything about what it was about. I had already written an article (just now published) but didn't publish it because I was awaiting additional info. Then the CIR company filing appeared in my Discord channel because one of our insider "aces" also knew about it, and posted info.

And just yesterday someone on Discord, where we were discussing it in private, was saying for me to just publish the article, so I don't get "scooped".

But the company filing is only the tip of the iceberg. I wish I didn't have to publish the article today though. :negative:

STEALING SOMEONE'S SHIP (ACTUAL THEFT)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1 Climb aboard, sit in the right cockpit chair and fly off.

ACTUAL RESULT
It has come to my attention on another forum, that part of the game, or gameplay, may include the theft of your ship.

EXPECTED RESULT
In Star Citizen, we BACKERS paid REAL MONEY to back this game in the purchase of these ships. Given it is now possible to do this in SC (admittedly no actual loss or damage can be done), I don't appreciate the fact that someone CAN DO THIS with my PROPERTY and CONTRIBUTION to SC's development. Even if there is no short term damage, other than someone waiting in the wing for a ship owner to climb aboard my ship, during my gameplay, and just walk off with my experience for their own, is just not right. To this end, I would ask that you take this as a bug, and implement a fix, like cyberlocking your ship with a code, to prevent what will certainly be a controversial issue in the future of SC. As well, I have posted the following on another popular space simulation site.

---
In Star Citizen, it is possible to steal someone's ship which cost REAL money, and it was an oversight or exploit not seen or considered Roberts Space Industries, but it was not ever intended to be a part of the game. Although it is something than CAN be done in SC, as it is an Alpha build and I doubt it will be allowed to continue. Bugs have been filed because of it, and most would find it an immoral act purely because there are REAL dollars involved. Those REAL dollars in SC were put there by those BACKERS wanting a massive space experience, and IS NOT there for someone to STEAL, however fun, funny, or exciting you may think it is. I am a significant backer in SC, and I can guarantee you, I would not think it moral, fun, funny or exciting if someone STOLE my paid for property put there in earnest to build a game I wanted.

If it shows up in Elite Dangerous. I will ask Frontier for a full refund. I backed this game for fun, not to have someone fixated on stealing, try to convince anyone here this is acceptable behaviour.

Gameplay does not need to parallel life, and just because you have real life examples, true as they may be, makes it no more palatable, reasonable or acceptable.

It's not my lifestyle, nor is it something I find acceptable, even if it is considered gameplay.

Be well.
---

If you value my participation as a contributor to SC, now and in the future, you will give this bug serious consideration.

(and yes, SC gave me a sidearm, and I guess I could have just SHOT THE GUY, but hell, I'm not a murderer.

Be well.

Don't really follow the thread too much anymore so missed your post but you know what they say about great minds. :thumbsup:

To be completely honest the list was just some wild "what if?" BS I came up with on the fly as I was fed of waiting for Derek to spill the beans on the ELE for the 50th time he's mentioned it's coming soon™ without ever dishing any dirt.

Here's the event as it played out on Discord:



As you can see Dark Off dropped a subtle hint that perhaps I should search Companies House otherwise I'd never have even found the recently set up shell company. After doing so I was encouraged to post here for greater visibility. I merely added the link to the shell company to #1 in the original list.

I'm only just catching up on the fallout from it all now as I've been busy this weekend. Nice to see it has gone GORFlike.

It was something on the forums that the frogs were laughing at, probably a year or two ago at this point, the short version is that he was effectively doing a "no criminal acts ironman" run, but it was because he was a Very Serious RPer playing a Very Serious Space Game. So some NPC bumped into him while he was going 101 or whatever, he got a 200CR fine, and he ragequit his save and made this big effortpost in the bug forum about NPCs that don't know how to drive

I called it in my first blog
I called it in the ELE blog
Here's a link to my blog about their terms of service and how they keep changing it.
Here's a link to my blogs where they denied somebody refunds and then that person went to the CA authorities and they stopped denying refunds.
Here's a link to my blogs about their engine and how it can't work and how I called that they were going to switch to Amazon's.
Here's a link to my blogs about how they're going to ship a MVP and then bail. None of this has happened but I'm right anyway.
Here's about fifty links to my blogs about their financial problems where I've been saying they would run out of money any day now for about two years. Here's a link to my blog about them taking some tax credits in the UK which totally confirms the rest of my blogs. Here's a link to my blog about a rumor posted on reddit that they may or may not be seeking $75m which also totally confirms the rest of my blogs.

Now, the new bit:
Here's a link to my completely empty tweet predicting total failure in the next two week time period.
Vague hand waving about how many people are talking to me.
People say Chris Roberts is looking to get out, and that other people are getting out. Shocking Revelation
People say that Chris Roberts is difficult to work with. Holy poo poo
I can't actually give you any detail on what is going on because my sources etc. etc.
Here is a link to literally the only new piece of information, and it is the new shell corporation as linked in the thread about three or four pages ago.

<close with stolen goon art>

PS this is not a mock post, that is the actual summary of the article.

:five:

That pretty much summarises most of Derek's posts these days. Referencing lots of previous posts followed by a single paragraph of new information at the bottom.

Although to be fair it's pretty apparent that there was advance knowledge of that shell company within the upper echelons of Derek's Discord Goon Squad (of which I'm not a member) given that it was hinted that perhaps I should search Companies House to see if there was a potential company for #1 on my list.

Another thing I just thought of is that...Chris Roberts has been quiet since Gamescom. The guy loves to be on camera! Where has he gone? Is he still on vacation? Something does seem amiss considering he's seemingly poofed.
