I got Elite in the Christmas Steam sale and there's some good fun to be had.

It's amazing how many of SC's promises are fulfilled in the game. It's even easy to confuse NPCs and players. You can explore an insanely large galaxy, land on planets but only crappy ones, bring people on space tours and not serve them drinks...

What's not amazing is the influence of grognard fuckheads on their forums whose boners quickly wilt if something takes less than 500 hours to do. The overlap between SC and elite fans must be immense, despite the SC reddit hatred for it.

elite is wonderful in VR. One of the most engaging games there is right now, the downside is it can get a little boring at times if you go space trucker route. And it is kinda hard when looking for bindings etc when blind.
All in all great time waster and just epic if you want to see sights and get about. didnt do much fighting myself as it took a bit just to get use to the 6dof.

Mine was weird because I had a few station stops along the way. The longest leg was between the Crab Pulsar and some place randomly picked out east of there that lead me to 13k out, then back to the bubble.

Still haven't dropped my data yet, got a few places to go with it.

Calling All Devs

You do such a great job. Never feel unappreciated for these. :)

The best thing is that it seems like SCs worst enemy has always been SC. Nobody knows what’s happening, and nobody seems to actually be thinking about these things. It’s a lot of times like the first time they’ve heard some of these questions, even after they were probably vetted out for being answered. There’s nobody that can just start rattling off the designs these guys should be in the know about.

Also, about the Inner Thought thing, I hope this ends up scaring their role playing crowd. Those guys and girls I bet are a silent majority hiding in the wings already playing sc and preparing for their timely entrances to the game proper as all kinds of people ready to dive into the Second Life aspect of the game.

At no point in my entire loving life has one of my inner monologues been “stay frosty”. Imagine how ridiculous it will be to know that inside your characters head, they have the brains of Chris Roberts and his amazing writing talent.

Stay frosty.

Was just wrapping up at work and put one of the streamers on in the background who was watching Calling All Devs (CaD)

He didnt even wait for it to end to declare, 'well that was non-informational'

They know they're being bullshitted and they don't seem to care. I heard more about some 300j jpeg than anything planned for 2018, it was all just bumbling rambling nonsense.

The next jpeg is the Most Important thing. It’s not the game. It’s just the money flow that everybody wants. SC is a money tree and until it’s uprooted somehow, probably legally, the whales will be an endless source of falling fruit from that tree.

Say enough to make it look genuine, but never enough to stop the possibility of wild speculation.

I’m sure they learned their lesson with the (very logical iteration of the) golf swing sensor mechanic.

That mechanic was pretty much ideal for a game. It had nothing wrong with it, and it would have been functional. The only problem is they sold this system as some kind of insane space ship with a $300 telescope attachment piece or something stupid, along with a huge diatribe about sensor mechanics and how it will all function and people felt like they could just make a game career over mastering the sensor suite. When they dared to imply that any loving idiot could do it by playing a stupid game of “raise the bar and let go of the mouse when it’s in the sweet spot” like Gears of War gun reloading, people flipped out. :allears:

People actually believe CR is somehow going to recreate real world science and limitless possibility and discovery in his already hugely overburdened game that can’t even get basic combat working right, nor flight mechanics for his space ships in his game about space games.

Star Citizen has been having a huge identity crisis since 2017 and it’s hilarious. Once somebody realized “all this space stuff... is hard!” it’s never been the same since. :)

Reading reddit, I was under the impression you were living in a cardboard box on the banks of a river and were penniless. Along with that you were without a heart and soul. So the Great Internet Warlord does have a softy spot. You need to add that to the foreword of your book to give Piper his proper due.
