Script says these are all the changes to https://starcitizentracker.github.io since April 14th: In alpha Energy management (1) "You'll probably be able to divert power between the different segments of the shield as well and even between the different weapons. " Not implemented NPCs gain experience (1) "there will definitely be variations between NPCs will have some level of sort of skill for the NPCs and probably there will be some progression for the NPCs so if they fight a lot of battles and they manage to be on the winning end of them then they will actually get better" NPCs use cover each other's movement (1) "there is already coordination between the guys that fight. People that can advance while somebody else covers the advancement from a cover spot" NPCs understand their environment (1) "I think the main thing with the combat that I’m really trying to push is the fact that they understand the environment." Person of interest tracking (1,2) "When you're tracking someone like that, you'll find that you can mark them as a person of interest in your mobiglas/ship systems, which will mean you drop into their instance every time." Fuel scooping (1) "Fuel Intakes scoop natural gases from the environment and funnel them into the ship." Player housing (1) NPCs have their own lifestyles (1,2) "it's not like they despawn as soon as you've turned the corner the day-to-day of a an AI on an Idris is essentially governed by this concept of the schedule so on a Monday all like all this means is that on a Monday someone might be a marine and going about their business as a Marine might do so he might go to the shooting range you might to the interest bridge in standard do all the sort of stuff then on a Tuesday he might be off duty so all that means is he'll go to the mess hall if he's hungry you know he'll go and lay down if he's tired he might go to the shooting range again if he's feeling like he wants to shoot some stuff" Decompression (1,2,3,4) "decompression affects not only the ships but it affects the environments as well" Swimming (1) "yes you will be able to swim eventually" NPC security patrols (1) "UEE space will be routinely patrolled by security forces" Remote cameras (1) Security monitoring devices (1) Automated drones (1) "Since players often won't be in proximity to their property, they'll frequently want to purchase various forms of remote monitoring and security apparatus - cameras and other equipment that can broadcast important information to them, members of their organisation, or UEE security, or automated drones that can automatically engage trespassers."

Quick game of spot the provable bullshit: "there is already coordination between the guys that fight.

quote:In my last column I predicted that a video game company would launch its own crypto, and it was supposed to be a joke. I predicted that Chris Roberts would start selling land in Star Citizen, and a few short weeks after I submitted my copy, it happened. As of this writing there are rumours circulating that Roberts & Co. will start selling shares in Star Citizen itself, offering investors a slice of hypothetical future profits in a manner not unlike Tim Schafer’s Fig. It sounds too stupid to be true, especially given their high stakes legal battle with Crytek. But by the time this column sees print, it may already be reality. I don't think it's going to be that obvious, but as collateral for a loan? What's the UK law regarding using shares as loan security?

And you can quote the poo poo out of that BFI? Cultural test? I don't see that happening. edit: if it's the angle that I think it is, EightAce is referring to the conditions applied to claiming UK tax credits for video game production, which has a number of tests applied. If that's what you're referring to, then they have a bigger problem in terms that it applies to a completed production rather than 'crowdfunded', but we've never received confirmation that they achieved certification from the BFI. The cultural test refers to a single company that produces the game (design, production AND release) spending 25% of it's cash in the UK. "Whats the UK Law for using a stand alone game made in Cryengine called Sq42 to apply for UK tax credits AND not one but 2 huge loans" Well, applying for credits would come under crown prosecution rules for misrepresentation, but the target of any investigation would be offered _every opportunity_ to make up the difference. It usually only goes to actual court when there's a specific problem in extracting the cash. I've had to explain to some very serious gentlemen of Her Majesties Customs and Excise that their tax money would be along shortly, but once you're square, they lose interest. In terms of the private bank loans, it's entirely privileged information, but they'll usually resort to private civil means to get their money back rather than refer charges. Waving aside for the moment that you have an 'in' and are 'connected', what are you seeing that would indicate there's movement on the three completely different issues of a possible tax liability or misrepresentation of the loans?

Chris's primary trick has always been to turn to the guy on his left and tell one lie, turn to the guy on his right and tell a second lie which is incompatible with the first, then to act confused when those two people communicate and realize they've been had. He's never quite understood that third parties can and do communicate about him with each other. It's exactly what sinks him every time.

If they do end up offering  stock to whales, could there be liability implications when the whole thing goes tits up? Like, could Chris just skip of into the sunset "oh CIG? Those guys over there own all the shares, they're the ones you want, Mr. Skadden." while keeping all the money?
