They are testing loot crates. You can pay $20 a click to get the ship you requested, or just $5 a click to get a random ship that may or may not work.

Thank you Citizen. Can I interest you in a luxury spaceship?


You can tell it's luxury because of the palm trees. Deuce Citizen will have real-time coconut shucking. Please keep in mind that none of this is real right now, but don't let that stop you- in the event that it does release, there will probably be all kinds of coconut related gameplay. I can't think of any fun applications for coconuts, so please dream some up and write me thousands of pages of stupid garbage. I guarantee that each and every idea will eventually be made just as real as Deuce Citizen itself.

Not using an instanced pad because of "fidelity" reasons and not bothering to add a 'null" check to see if the pad is occupied when you have multiple commandos requesting delivery of a ship.

I guess if they never fix this you can simply request ships until the pads are full and enjoy the ensuing rage as commandos will only see yours or an unholy merging of multiple ships. I'm hoping they at least have an expiration timer but not counting on it.

On that deleted video, it seemed to run fairly okay, when it was just the several dozen commandos on the launch pads.

As soon as they ran inside and ships started to be requested, performance began to tank, badly.

This is just good old standard Port Olisar. Not planet surface or anything, just the space station we've been seeing since 2.0.

Also, the dude knew he was going to hit an invisible wall in the other person's cargo bay, and then he totally did. He didn't hit an invisible wall entering his own ship's cargo bay the same way. The internal door totally didn't work, though. And it was still the wrong ship from what he requested, somehow Houdini'd onto a different pad.

I have to assume that him knowing he was going to hit that invisible wall on the other dude's ship means CIG has implemented that as their means of ship security. I would guess they're preventing people from sprinting into ships, or clipping through the ship exteriors, as a means to jack chariots, via the use of invisible walls.

5:28, watch what ship he orders. See what ship he is given on the pad.

6:08, the Freelancer he requested is an Andromeda, he turns 90 degrees to the right to look at a ship apparently spawned hanging off the pad, looks back at the station, then looks back toward his ship which is now a Retaliator. :lol:

He's actually speechless for a moment. He tells voice chat his ship is swapped. Another guy on chat says that's his ship actually, and that it's really confusing.

The computer tells him to find his ship on pad A02.

7:45 invisible wall, then pitch black in his own ship with frames dying and the internal door completely nonfunctional.

It's almost experimental.

His heads-up UI pip that's supposed to lead him to his ship has the wrong ship listed right after he chooses it.

At least nobody got flung into void space in the middle of the planet with twisted limbs, but these are still baffling issues for anything outside of a proof-of-concept demo to have.

And you can see the frames chug every time somebody spawns a ship.

Being that they are test releases, I could maybe see wrong ship delivery on 3.0a, or even 3.0b, as a weirdo bug. What letter are they on now?

What a joke.

I hope that invisible wall gets confirmed as ship security.

The major misconception from backers is that they're trying to compare Star Citizen to game publishers, and Chris Roberts to a game developer. These are very dangerous assumptions. In competent companies run by competent individuals, bugs like this show up early, and get fixed over time.

The backers are applying this pattern to Star Citizen, assuming these are bugs that will be fixed over time.

What we have with Star Citizen is the opposite situation. It's a horribly-written, badly-coded, Chris-Roberts-Ineptly-Micromanaged disaster that gets weaker and weaker every time they try to do something meaningful with its peanut-brittle foundation. This game isn't going to get "fixed over time." This game is loving terminal, and all they're doing is a Weekend at Bernie's act with it.

If gamers weren't loving used to being exploited, we wouldn't be having this discussion. It is a pointless discussion when you consider that the crazy amount of money being made, is because the people who are buying them, outnumber those crying foul. So companies like EA, Activision et al, have ZERO incentive to stop the practice. It all migrated from mobile.
