Sooooo... anyone else upset over the fact that CIG decided that their lack of progress compared to SpaceX... loving SpaceX JESUS CHRIST... is due to them having to build an entire universe?

Yeah it's a real shitburger to do that. But I assume as one cult of personality to another, it appeals to their base pretty hardcore. I'm sure like 90% of Citizens know they could be Elon Musk if they could just own a $1000 jpeg in a space game.

Chris Roberts was going to have the Frankfurt guys put a Tesla following the real-time trajectory in the game but by this point it’s already left the bounds of Micro-Stanton.

Oh well, Braben can do it.

The two ships in development for this patch are making some small progress this week, with the RSI Constellation Phoenix getting +3% to 11% and the Aegis Hammerhead getting +5% to 13%.
What a circus.

How do you quantify how much of a design work has been finished to this level of accuracy? What is the difference between 8% finished and 11% finished? What does 3% of the design of an RSI Constellation Phoenix look like? Does the completion progress factor in however many times the boss will order the work be scrapped?

You take each deliverable, break it up into tasks and sub-tasks, assign them time-based values, do some simple arithmetic to express progress as percent complete against your estimates, and when progress stalls out, you marvel once again at just how bad humans are at estimating how long something takes.

As you fly past your deadlines like a train, send a disingenuous, impetuous, vaguely insulting message to stakeholders feigning ignorance and blaming “game development” and its innate “hardness”, re-estimate, tell the backers you got it this time, and oh by the way, pledge more.

John Crewe:
As with everything, like... people tend to go, 'ah, I like THIS, I like THAT', you can never get the two camps agreeing on what they want from it... so... at the end of the day it's what feel right... for YOU... ahm...

Andy Nicholson:
I mean the... just the... to point out what the PROBLEM was... that was highlighted... with the QUESTION, I think, from the community was a... PITCH and YAW on TURRETS was feeling...

John Crewe:
Yeah...

Andy Nicholson:
Very DIFFERENT...

John Crewe:
Yeah I mean you PITCHED it was more INSTANT than... YAWING, um... and... yeah it, it's come down to the VALUES that are in there and we're gonna be LOOKING at... that... and...

...always... CHANGING and IMPROVING stuff, but...


Andy Nicholson:
One of those things I think where, ah... we weren't aware there WAS a problem

John Crewe:
No

Andy Nicholson:
But we... we... took a little LOOK and we... um... we SEEMED to have a way to fix that?

John Crewe:
Yeah, I... had a quick LOOK at it and there's ah... changes can be DONE... that... make it... closer to ZERO ORDER, that ay ah say it is FIRST ORDER... but the... the sort of... the... the... the DEADZONE is very small on one AXIS compared to the other, ah... ahm... and... the other... FACTOR...

If you think about our turrets they're not GIMBALLED weapons so PITCH the guns just have to go UP AND DOWN, whereas YAW the turret has to... ROTATE, uhm... to MATCH it, whereas perhaps if the turrets were a bit more... had GIMBALLED weapons on them, they could... they could YAW to... to hit your point of aim QUICKER but...

There's lots of things to think about and um... improve on


Andy Nicholson:
Yeah. We're NOT the turret designers.

John Crewe:
No they come... everyone's... we... we know they're NOT... ah... as HAPPY as... as they SHOULD be and... and there HAS been work and there IS work going on to make them better. Everyone... everyone always comes to us going, 'how are you going to make multicrew ships with turrets COMPETITIVE against single seaters, why, WHY would I ever bring a multicrew ship instead of three single seaters'

We're aware of that and working on it


Disco Lando:
It's something that everyone in every studio is well aware of and working on, it's... it's just like everything else, there's only so much resources to tackle so many features at any given time, ahm... dah woo wah dah DEVELOPMENT... CLOCK... cycles back around and it's time will come back UP

Ah and I don't know, people like JOHN and people like uuhm... um... uh... uhm.

MARK here... I've already talked, you know, they all got IDEAS and... and THOUGHTS about it so... it's on the list

John Crewe:
The sort of... you can get other areas that aren't the... the NATURAL STATISTICS that cause the... the FEELING of a... a weapon being OVERPOWERED, some like... things you don't tend to think of like... the VIDEO effects or the AUDIO, so... some VFX might not be playing as you INTENDED, ahm, like, they might be less... INTRUSIVE, which gives the feeling that it's more powerful than it is

Same for the audio, like, quite often people perceive weapons strength to the sound it's making, ah, it sounds SILLY but it is... something... if... if you have a big SNIPER RIFLE in the game that just goes *pew*, then people tend to think that's, well that's rubbish, and it could be doing ALL the damage in the world, um... but that AUDIO really SELLS it and if that's not on point as well... that can, sometimes... factor into it

In October 2017 they announced that a roadmap of SQ42 would be made public to backers in December 2017.
No roadmap was published.
In January 2018 Chris Roberts gives a reason for this - that they are restructuring their JIRA system and moving to AGILE development - but ONLY after the question was raised in a Q&A.

Just want to make sure everyone is following along.

SQ42 JIRA still not restructured, still no SQ42 roadmap.
