Not pay to win. Ignore the land rush as the official release comes out and the people that stock up on these beacons and ships with longer jumps or whatever to get to the choice spots first

That's not P2W. Land beacons can be earned in game, just after several weeks of loading boxes and scrubbing toilets in other players' ships.

I just can't loving believe it. The mass, pressure, and ratio of ARGON. Cross-sectional area. How about you guys mock up mining, throw out of few asteroids, and try building a game? How about you guys, oh I don't know, add some code so that two people can shoot at each other in a space ship? Let's see what should our devs work on next? How about ANY aspect of persistence? Jesus loving christ, it's so transparent how stupid Chris Roberts, and his whole leadership team is. There is a 0% chance that they finish this "game." It's already way, way past the point of "irreducible number of errors" because it's needlessly complex in areas that do NOTHING, and completely void in areas that constitute "game" and "play."

How can anyone be involved in this? How can the leaders be this incompetent and lie so effortlessly in order to make money? How can these streamer shills perpetuate CIG's fraudulent marketing? How can any CIG developer or artist face their conscience? But most of all, how can these backers...

I mean that's too loving much. I'm full up. Peak Citizen. loving mass, loving pressure, and loving ratio of loving ARGON, PER ROOM.

Serious answer is no. Opiates will not help your coding.

It might help those having to maintain your code? For anyone making programming a career, you really should know that having to maintain/fix/extend other people's awful code is very common and very soul-crushing. That's why companies sometimes highlight "greenfield" (ie not maintenance) work as a pro when hiring.

When developing a game the cycle is generally short enough to keep the majority of programmers onboard from start till finish. If you have to bring in too much fresh blood they'll run into trouble working with the codebase (game code tends to be more messy than other software). That's yet another reason Star Citizen is doomed. Not only are they working from multiple physical locations, outsourcing development, having massive feature creep, amorphous requirements, etc. but they've by now had lots of programmers leave and join. It takes some seriously expensive talent (which I highly doubt they're willing/able to afford) to salvage another person's broken code, and with backers watching and playing they can't scrap entire subsystems and start over. The more stuff they add, they more stuff is going to break. Even if they got a cash injection of 500 million dollars, it wouldn't matter. They need to start over.
