Are people actually challenging this new refund shtick? It looks so paper-thin that I can't even think of a funny metaphor to describe it, thats how dumb it looks.

We just released an 1/8th moon. But let me assure you that it is indeed a waxing moon. Give it 2 weeks. Buy now.

My favorite moon is Enceladus, Saturn's sixth-largest moon. Its ice covering makes it one of the most reflective bodies in our solar system, and beneath the thick ice crust there is a massive liquid water ocean that some scientists believe poses our best chance of finding life on another planet. Near Enceladus's Southern pole, massive cryovolcanoes shoot ice and water into space and that helps make up Saturn's rings. I highly recommend you use the word cryovolcano today in some capacity, because it owns.

There are some real choice bullet points from the 3.0 patch notes that I find particularly stupid/meaningless/

- Fixed a crash in COrderedMeshBV::Build
(Nice aspberger's guys, glad you made bullet points for each crash you fixed, and the thing that necessitated every crash fix getting its own bullet point was the loving class name that nobody gives a poo poo about)

- "We are working on some extra Graphics code for the GPU particle system to support the creation of new VFX to implement space dust at points around Stanton. This will continue to be iterated on to create some more elaborate assets."
(read: scope creep. see also: loving SPACE DUST???)

- With the gameplay we�re adding in to 3.0.0, we�re conscious that there may be some other players that would love to kill you and take your ship. To help prevent this, we wanted to implement some basic security that will allow you to lock the ship, so only you have the ability to pass freely through its doors. Part of this work includes adding destruction for external ship doors to allow for the other half: basic breaching / boarding.
(read: scope creep. see also: Damage States for the doors we can't get to work.)

- We are very keen to make the Stanton map feel more organic as a real environment and having the planets rotate and orbit will really help with this.
- This will also introduce a proper day/night cycle when you�re on a planet surface which in turn opens up further gameplay possibilities.
(why are these)
(two different bullet points)

- We want to give players the ability to more intuitively interact with items and objects within the game, but also find ways to indicate to the player what type of interaction they would be performing (pick up, start conversation, push button, etc).
(what the gently caress does this even mean, what are you talking about, what kind of patch note bullet point starts with "we want to ..." then describes incredibly vague yet contradictory things... this is pure loving cat drugs)

I can't read any more of this bullshit I'm getting pissed off again.

I know nothing about development but surely the point of patch notes is to tell players what changes you've made, not what you hope to do in the future.

Nanako the Narc: Sep 6, 2011

Hate to interrupt this intense moon discussion but I heard some talk about an arbitration clause being in the SC ToS but can't find it now; I guess someone challenged the clause and it was quietly removed later? Anyone know what happened with this?

Either way I was going to drop in today to say it's unenforceable in the UK. It's pretty funny how people claim that CIG much better than other companies because it isn't an 'evil publisher' that tries to scam all its customers when in actual fact it's running a full gamut of scummy anti-consumer legal bluffs.

Imo CIG is paying people to just drop the cases when sued (maybe even off the book).
Many people should have law insurance, so its really unlikely that no one have sued them until this point.

This strategy makes the most sense for me.

My coffee warned me about it.

Lol they sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of spaceships to people and now they're using that to make up security issues to further delay another beta release. I'm betting there's already some new higher tier insurence scam idea lurking between future patch notes.
