March Set 8 ==3.1 released to PTU== https://pastebin.com/QH9QScsH Tokamak posted:I agree with CIG's assessment to get the patch out by the deadline at all costs. It looks like poo poo to us, but to backers CIG is turning it around. Delays have been the number one morale killer. If they delayed the first patch of their new quarterly release schedule, it would kill the enthusiasm for questioning backers. I'm more interested to find out if every major feature gets delayed and rolled up into a big end of year patch. Virtual Captain posted:What was 3.1 supposed to have again? Pixelate posted:Oh dear... Drunk Theory posted:Good thing they've got those dedicated avocados that deeply test these things before they get to the PTU. Good thing they didn't just rush this poo poo out the door with 10% of the promised features and riddled with bugs. Virtual Captain posted:
Scruffpuff posted:That poo poo really grinds my gears. "Oh we didn't have the features on time for 3.1." Well if you define a feature set, say that feature set will be in 3.1, then you release without that feature set, then it's not loving 3.1 is it? That's what 3.1 is - the poo poo you said beforehand would be in it. That's what makes it 3.1. Virtual Captain posted:

Maybe you need to hire some hotshot to write genius-level shaders to bump the graphical fidelity, or pull in top-level artists to build production-ready models. But the purpose of an alpha is to experience the philosophy of your game and answer one question: "Is this fun or not?" Is this gonna work?

Beet Wagon posted:Trip Report:I opted to venture into the PU just to see what it was like. First step was creating a jaundiced redhead with a pompadour because there's only like 9 options and that was the most interesting one. Everything is still janky as all gently caress, and NPCs in Olisar routinely walk through walls and doors and poo poo still. It feels like their "inner thought" interaction works about half the time? They definitely spent a lot of effort working on making it so you can't clip through the doors of the airlocks, although I think I mentioned this last time I played. It looks like after five long years the reign of terror of the naked space men might be over. Spawned an Aurora, bounced it off a parked Reclaimer. He didn't blow up, so I'm not sure if it's just that the Reclaimer is beefy as hell or that parked ships are still invincible because . I suspect it's just that the Reclaimer was beefy as poo poo, because he lifted off and I followed him around and bounced off him for about ten minutes. Near as I could tell he took no damage, although it was immensely fun just bouncing him around for as long as I did, and I was surprised how well my ship held up. I wonder if they didn't beef up shields or lower impact damage or something. It seems like the Reclaimer is going to suck rear end in a fight, although I have my doubts about whether or not the starter ships are even going to be able to bring the shields down on one. The last time I tried fighting something in my Aurora it did not go well. I eventually bounced off him enough to blow up, kicking off a 25 minute respawn timer I opted not to wait for. I will say I did spend a couple minutes bouncing my spaceman off turrets in the hope I could clip through into another Reclaimer that spawned, to no avail. I'm sure the issues are still there, it'll just take a bit to find the right seams I expect.

April Set 6 ==Court Case crawls along== Previously… CIG filed for a protective order. Basically asking to be shielded from the burden of discovery until the court decided on their motion to dismiss. Most of this was too boring for the Recap thread. tldr; “please God don’t let them see how much money we have left” CryTek responded with x,y,z reasons why such an order should not be put in place. Some of that was funny. Document: http://docdro.id/oxLxMkt Virtual Captain posted:
“it is advisable for counsel to begin to conduct discovery actively before the Scheduling Conference.” Although early discovery is strongly encouraged, Judge Gee’s policy is not to require the parties to participate in discovery until a scheduling order has issued. The motion for stay, therefore, is moot and denied on that basis." Document: http://docdro.id/tx3rLrT Agony Aunt posted:So... both parties are advised to start active discovery, but defendents (CIG) are not required to respond to discovery until the scheduling order is issued so the request to deny (from CIG) is denied because it is irrelevant anyway?

Remember that the competent people bled out of this company over the years as they were exposed to Chris's legendary stupidity and ineptitude. Some of the remaining employees absolutely believe they're making a game. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that a good number of their employees are victims of the scam themselves. An easy test to this theory is to go find an Amway salesman (protip: do not follow this advice) and ask them if they're aware that they're part of a MLM scheme. Good luck. Then explain to them that they're guilty of perpetuating the scam. Good luck on that front too, but I doubt you'll be able to feel the warm glow of presumed superiority as they stare uncomprehendingly back at you, only to reach into their trunk earnestly because they're pretty sure the only reason you're mad is because you just don't get how awesome this particular cleaning product is.

These updates are fantastic. Also I would like to remind everyone that the most recent title that Chris Roberts worked on shipped in 2003, 2 years after he was fired from the project.

April Set 7 ==Mining sneak peek== CIG showed their first attempt at mining off on one of their youtube shows. For those that don’t remember, here is their original “Design Notes” on mining circa Feb 2015: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/14522-Design-Notes-Mining There they describe 3 or 4 players all working in harmony to carefully chip away at a voxel asteroid. What they showed looked like this: 3:00 to see it in action on youtube Draw your own conclusions. Here’s mine: They don’t have a prayer of coding what they dreamed up so they’re doing WoW style mining + floaty physics rocks. Let’s see what the backers think: posted:That rock heating laser is the best mining example i ever scene in any game so far. Very satisfying to watch posted:I really like the sound effects on the rock drill - looks like they're trying to actually get it right and make it interesting rather than an overly simple first pass/complete mechanic. posted:now THAT was way cooler than I expected. posted:It looks amazing already for a prototype. ==Back to == G0RF posted:For years, YEARS they’ve been talking about the work underway on Mining gameplay. The Titanic posted:You will not get the game that's been promised. Your constant "omg it's already better than 10 AAA games!" has nullified any chances of CIG trying to self improve themselves because they are going down a bad path of decisions. It's way too late to turn now and you'll never get the dream. If you were critical 5 years ago instead of scaring everybody into being quiet, you'd probably be on a better track today because aches would have recognized (loving maybe) that there was a problem.

VictorianQueerLit posted:Mining was always one of my specific gripes with this game so I'm glad to see they keep falling on their face in regards to it. Gravity_Storm posted:The new mining mechanic is basically cooking. Cooking rocks. Scruffpuff posted:
The Titanic posted:It's tough. Even if I bought a $200 ship every single week, that's not even one persons salary after deductions. And assuming I'm dumb enough to buy a $200 dollar ship every single week just because is equally stupid to assume from every single person. G0RF posted:CIG is actively attempting to confuse the public / the press / the citizenry / their lenders with a story of continuing ascent. Roberts most recent letter welcoming the 2 millionth backer to the fold is a lie so lazily told only those completely and totally out of touch with reality or otherwise uninformed about the project would believe it. G0RF posted:REDDIT: 3.1.3 is out, Roadmap updates 24/7 yet we don’t have the new weapons lalaland posted:CIG is sitting on a list with thousands of whales, the absolute apex of Dumb Motherfuckers™ with more money than sense, which must be worth an astronomical amount of cash. ==CIG buys new PCs for at least two streamers== https://twitter.com/wtfosaurus/status/987729996025217024 https://twitter.com/RichardOnTwitch/status/987543992907726849 VictorianQueerLit posted:Are the streamers really going to deny being paid by CIG when they all mysteriously get brand new Optane systems simultaneously.

And lo the heavens did open, and star citizen posts did rain upon them, and they were sore afraid. (thanks for including the legal stuff, it's one of the craziest parts of this whole neverending fiasco)

You know, for all the poo poo that CIG (deservedly) gets, you gotta wonder, in a thread of thousands of posts, why are only a few are worth reading. Are goons just as bad as CIG? we may never know!

Are goons just as bad as CIG? we may never know! We're currently operating a much higher efficiency than CiG at content production due to our low operating costs, and have already abandoned two games while they fail to close down a single one. Admittedly a large amount of our output is 'homage du', but any second it's going to all come together.
