It looks fine man. I’m gonna go ahead and stick to the narrative that fidelity isn’t worth a gently caress. Write a good story with interesting characters, keep your story vague so as not to restrict player agency, keep the on-rails storytelling devices to a minimum, and above all else, never, ever, EVER force people to watch cutscenes.

The point is, Star Citizen’s problems a structural and philosophical. Yeah, it’s funny how “pretty good” this looks when compared with what Chris has promised. But it doesn’t look bad, and the renders definitely look like Mark Hamill.

It looks like Mark Hamill in the same way a Spitting Image latex puppet looks like whoever it's meant to be.

But yeah I get your point which is well put and finely formed

CIG found the only way to make a canned 2 hour video fail. By delaying it by 24 hours. The only thing that'll make it funnier is if they cancel it outright tomorrow.

In lieu of a holiday stream, please enjoy excerpts from CIG's lore instead. Even in their stories, the doors don't work.

quote:

Standing up, she waved her hand over the light switch and winced as the harsh overhead kicked on. The EZ-Hab was already looking worse for wear since she had moved in ten nights ago. She quickly rinsed her mouth with a half swallow of stale Smoltz and proceeded to get dressed.

Clara was comforted by the weight of her pistol as it locked into place on her hip mount. Even if she couldn’t fire the thing aboard Port Olisar, she still liked knowing it was there. Plus, you never knew when you might run into a potential client. Always pays to look the part, she thought as she slicked her hair back and tucked it under the blue Mercenary Guild cap.

Nothing wrong with wearing a hat, right? It’s people’s own fault if they leap to conclusions.

Boots laced, she shoved as much of the trash as she could from the table into a grease-stained Whammer’s bag, and turned to head out into the station.

Or at least she tried to. With a sigh, Clara waved the bag in front of the door’s motion sensor until it finally decided to pay attention. When EZ-Hab offered an econ-suite, they really meant it. Next job, she promised herself, she’d look into an upgrade, or at least pay the extra creds for the cleaning service.


After depositing the trash in a bin, she navigated her way through the light crowd of travelers waiting to catch transfers down to the gas giant below and headed towards Garrity Defense.

The lore now features broke rear end people making desperate sales pitches, as well. Write what you know, right?

quote:

“Test me,” insisted Clara, “and then decide. That’s all I’m asking.”

Between docking fees, insurance and the price of keeping her ship loaded, fueled, and ready for action, her funds were rapidly drying up. Crunching the numbers, she had only about two days of credits left before she was going to have to either start living in her ship, stop eating, or worse. She figured if she could pull a couple shifts selling guns and armor, maybe she could hold on long enough until she could drum up some real work. It’s not like she was sleeping anyway, so why not?

Diego, glancing up at her guild hat, finally shrugged and said, “Fine. You want a test? See that guy? He’s a shuttle jockey. Stays aboard Olisar once a week and probably spends half that time staring at the merch, not buying anything. Get him to actually spend some creds and we’ll talk about getting you some shifts here.”

Even though he’s a piece of poo poo in real life, counterpoint to this:




Even in your picture, it doesn’t look like Hamill. :(

I’m being pretty lenient there I think. It could be somebody like “who is related to the famous actor Mark Hamill” but it’s pretty far off. Fine for a homage or a random thing, but not so much when you are shouting from the rooftops about it.

I'm actually increasingly convinced that whoever wrote this was trolling as hard as they could, and nobody picked it up because nobody reads these loving things

quote:

Radu Ghazi settled into the bunk, letting the mattress conform underneath him. He was impressed by the support. Most ship designers couldn’t care less about mattress strength. They seemed to spend all their time pouring credits and attention into the sexier aspects of the ships; the hull, the guns, the engines. The marketing points, he’d once heard them called. That was back on Prime, in some high class bar that he had no business being in. The thing these companies didn’t seem to grasp was that when you spend months on the drift, a comfortable mattress could save your life just as well as an armored hull.
