You could just put variable grav plates around the pilot to cancel the Gs when turning. Heck, build them into the suit. :smug:

In that game do torpedoes cost money?

In TIE Fighter and later games (I don't think re-supplies existed in X-Wing?), you'd hit shift-B to call a tug to slowboat over to you and re-arm you for free. It took some time for it to arrive, so I remember doing stupid things like calling it well before I needed it, sending it away and repeating the board rearm command so it was ready to go asap.

The X-Wing/TIE hotkeys are permanently etched into my memory. I'm pretty sure by the time I'm riddled with dementia I'll still know how to transfer weapon energy to shields.

4)G forces. Trust me on this. As a real life helicopter pilot and as a former jet aircraft pilot with more than 1000 flight hours , that is not how G forces work! I have experienced G forces from -1,5 to +7Gs and trust me when I say, you get really exhausted! And no, you can not counter negative G forces with positive ones and vise versa to avoid passing out! First of all, the human tolerance is from -2Gs to a max +9Gs, while side Gs human tolerance is somewhere in between, so you can’t push down the stick the same as pulling up! The game animation for G loss of consciousness is pretty much correct (apart from the grey out stage that is missing). So all players, including myself, do not respect that a “pull up” turn must be used at all times in order to get the highest rate of turn, without passing out, but instead players are constantly abusing a brocken flight model by turning in whatever direction and roll to counter Positive G's with negative ones and vise versa. Turns should always be a combination of roll and pulling up! I know that I am talking about a radical change in the gameplay but, if we do not change that, we gonna have to admire all those spaceships turning like cars in highway, while in atmospheric flight...Plus,I feel that all this effort in the more realistic fps aspect of the game (stamina system) doesn’t line up with the arcade-ish flight model. If you get tired by running and it affects your aim, a similar effect must be present in flight model as well. For obvious reasons.

I hope it hurt. I have little doubt she funded that film with both money and equipment. I hope they took her for a ride. I hope they lied their asses off to her to string her along for as long as they could. I hope they told her nothing, even after release and they knew that her already bit part she was really looking forward to was actually cut.

That look of angry, sad, betrayal she had is exactly what thousands of people also felt as she “keeps doing what she’s doing”!

If this is the only way she’ll be able to feel even a fraction of what she’s caused to countless other people, good for whatever mythical creature or voodoo doll is causing her grief.

Maybe she can go design some loving shoes for her shoe design company or something to feel better about it. Or go take a dive in the ocean and discover new creatures with her degree in marine biology. Or go put her degree in international marketing to work on another scam sale. Or maybe she’ll think of a way to fix it since she’s the smartest person in the room.

Or maybe she can just go back to being a washed up, poo poo-tier former porn actress who married an equally washed up former Hollywood director who was kicked out of the industry so hard he had to sell cars, and who found restitution in that pathetic life style by accidentally discovering a twisted way to become filthy rich by lying and cheating everybody and their uncle.

Tough choices but I’m sure she’ll make the wrong one that will hurt the most people so long as it propels her forwards. :colbert:

Ty. So you -can- use opposite G to cancel G by rolling. Nice to see them get something right.

Reminds me of an online sim I played a long time ago, I think it was called Aces High Warbirds? The planes could pitch equally up or own, and the pilot's G tolerance was the same both ways, but the red-out graphic was a little easier to see though than the black-out graphic (and control was never revoked, no matter how much you redded out). I was surprised that I was the only person who flew upside-down, all the time.

A company literally founded from lies. And there wasn’t even a reason to lie to anybody; they just did because it’s so hideously hard for them to tell the truth. Any truth about anything. You probably can’t even trust them to tell you what they’re having for dinner as you’re sitting with them for dinner and looking right at the food.

I hoped a long time ago that all this ill-begotten money they’re scamming from people will bring them no pleasure. Glad to see Star Citizen finally loving deliver on something! :irony:

Has anyone started laughing about the part where they based ship mass off of modern day aircraft instead of trying to figure out what would make the game not feel like a floaty mess?

I feel like Star Citizen is so far away from being an actual product that picking on stuff like this just doesn’t even make sense. I don’t think anybody cares if they researched or did anything because anything and everything they write or say or promote is a juxtaposition of what actually goes in the game itself.

Virtually none of the dynamics they talked about and sold are even remotely present, besides “being in space and you are a person too”. No mechanics, no concepts, no back end programming, nothing.

The only mechanic CIG has carried out is their cash shop; and there’s a good chance that is actually Turbulent in the shadows doing it all.

I think it's just another example of CIG aping things in a attempt to be successful. Steve Jobs always wore a black turtleneck, therefor Crobberts needs to as well, because that's what successful CEO's do.

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?
Sandi Gardiner, "actress", being nixed 100% from her tour de force as "Vic's Mom" is the most delicious ending of the #actress #Hollywood saga that I can possibly imagine.

She hitched her wagon to Chris Roberts (again) and this project specifically to pad her IMDB profile, use backer money to create reel after reel of useless self-promotion, stand shoulder-to-shoulder with actual acting professionals, and get her face and name on a promotional poster with top billing alongside them. This is what it was all for - this, to Sandi Gardiner, was the full purpose of Star Citizen.

And this is how it ends. Not with a bang, nor a whimper, nor even a PAARP.

It ended with nothing.

Sandi Gardiner wasn't even good enough for a straight-to-the-trashbin release of a poo poo-tier film. Imagine being that bad. That in a film that's cringe-worthy from beginning to end, somewhere along the line, the editor and director sat in the room together and thought, "We have to cut that one. She's dragging the whole thing down."

That's like walking into an open cesspit and pointing out a particularly aromatic turd.

It's a beautiful analogy to Star Citizen itself - which will end in precisely the same way - simple nonexistence.

I couldn't have imagined a better ending.
