My brain still can't accept the netcode. I mean, syncing everything-always is a cliche for babby's first game, but no, not for a 100mil project. Like, even if a ship has 6 doors and 5 turrets and 3 ladders and 12 lockers and 10 damageable/detatchable parts, these things shouldn't send anything unless their state or position changes. It sounds too broken good to be true.

I know it's a really specific question, but does anyone have a clue how much connection traffic there is for a player, just while flying 1 ship around the space station?

edit: and a 'storage grid' for 0.5m boxes in the hold, and a manifest of items you throw on the floor.

Yes several us do.

It would take several station wagons full of backup tapes traveling above the constant c to deliver Robert's vision.

With that said, that's the easy part. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the atomic level DB stuff on their global/economic/super_server that records everything.

Intentional or not - but probably so- he makes it sound like he'd just heard about this huge performance issue that is specific to that day's build.

Like, it wasn't a problem with any of the (at least recent) previous builds and will probably be fixed soon, in a future build, because it's a new bug or something that's causing it.

YEAH RIGHT.

Yup. They've known about it for MONTHS because, shockingly, I've been writing about that because sources have been saying that since LAST YEAR.

But that's just FUD though. They totally only found out. Right then. Literally minutes before they spliced in his camera segment.

Isn't this, plus the ol' floating point error, the reason why the spinning sections of port olisar end up attaching themselves to player ships that get too close and twirling off into the distance?

If the rings spin off due to collisions with player ships, that would be because the rings are created as physics objects (which makes them conserve momentum during collisions), and are configured with a preposterously small amount of mass relative to the ships. It would be incredibly stupid to make those rings physics objects at all. They should be normal game objects with normal colliders which basically give them infinite intertia (think Doom-style walls).

This is yet more evidence for me that CIG has massively downscaled all objects in the game world. An example would be, if a humanoid model is ususllay 1 CryEngine unit in FarCry, making a human 0.001 unit and scaling everything relative to that would effectively make your level 1000x bigger. 1 meter turns into 1km.

Of course, any loving freshspawn game developer right out of college looking for apples on the coast knows not to do this, because it breaks your physics engine (everything acts like it doesn't have enough mass) and it fucks with collisions (because collision detection is only accurate down to roughly the centimeter depending on how fast the object is moving and what your framerate is). Any of that sound familiar?

That's why I always rail on the SC devs. They appear to have made almost every possible rookie mistake in the book and they don't seem to be fixing any of it, just building more floors on top of the burning wicker foundation which was built on a landfill which once was a sacred Native American burial ground.

Star Citizen is fundamentally doomed and will, imo, never be salvaged into a playable game.
