Is Montoya trolling Miku there? Or is he serious? Hard to tell sometimes. In other news, getting your head scanned and put in game as an NPC is nothing special apparently. (and i wish CIG would do that, it would become the most shot at NPC in game i suspect). In yet other news, scientists have discovered that if Miku was any more up his own rear end, he would spontaneously turn into a black hole.

Thoatse posted:Flight model stuff is about the only thing I care(d) about since everything else is such ridiculous bullshit and a mute point so long as the flight model of a 'sim' is garbage. Since 2014, this has obviously a feature to harvest fps whalemilk and not a bug raining on the sim crowd's parade. I'm curious though now, what's changed that would make you shift your opinion? Decouple is mediocre, but ICFS changes are all over the place. I don't know if it's the different ship thruster amounts that they're playing around with or note, but I've got strafe on Y and Z on my stick and icfs overcompensates wildly.

Hah, the pay to win discussions have some nice mental gymnastics https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/8nkq30/star_citizen_lti_whales_and_pay_2_win_or_pay_2/dzw8i7z/ quote:Fast forward one year into the game. The only way to tell the backers from the new players will be any small perks from the packages. Otherwise my Pioneer one year on will be the same as one bought in game, except for the perks. Sure, sure.... after 1 fricking year you dumbass. There is a whole year where others will be grinding away to get the credits for that ship (assuming its possible to get in 1 year) while the person who bought it is swanning around in theirs, upgrading it, and in theory having fun (the fun element however is probably still in the pipeline). And i can imagine the cries of whales if people can get the big ships within a few months. When everyone and their dog are flying top tier ships within months, the whales won't be happy with that, i'm pretty sure. But if those big ships do take a long time to get to, then you can be drat well sure the forums will be full of people saying it was P2W and that the game is a terrible grind.

Not that it will ever get to that point but the entire how long it takes to get a ship in game discussion is going to top tier hilarity. It's going to be impossible for CIG to not make either the whales or the space poors super loving angry.

Which means Agony Aunt's Pioneer is going to cost at least 850,000 UEC. Missions are currently paying out like 3k UEC at best.

Agony Aunt posted:Hah, the pay to win discussions have some nice mental gymnastics The rationalizations on the Pay to Win argument are always a joy to see. It's where the delusion gets a little more transparent than normal. The game is pay to win, full stop. There is no arguing this point and no matter how creative you try to get with your mental gymnastics this will never be wrong. However, this is a negative for the dream and we all know that is impossible so therefore it has to be wrong. It is wrong. The only acceptable conclusion is that there is no negative for the dream.

So does that mean there's no winning in EVE either since there is no end game? Citizens' mental gymnastics are the best gift we have ever been given. And they pay us to provide us with it!

When you buy the base game you get a starter ship. The alternative to having a starter ship is to EVA from orbital to planet. Obviously this is ridiculous, which is WHY they give everyone a starter ship. If you are happy flying around in the starter ship (which I am sure is bug-free, stable, and easily controllable) then fair play. Aside from purchasing a ground vehicle for cash, how do you obtain one in game? The alternative of walking to your destination is equally ridiculous as EVAing your way through space. Unless they provide everyone a ground vehicle (starter bike), the game is undeniably pay to win.

Whew! She must be super busy being the VP of Marketing for a company and being an actress! I know my VP of marketing is on the phone constantly, setting up groups, helping people build out sales decks, answering endless questions, and preparing for new campaigns. Not to mention the endless amount of reports they both receive and generate is tremendous. They usually work all hours of the day and many weekends and most "vacations" are just "working at a different location". She should write a book about how she manages al this stuff. Maybe call it "International Marketing" or something. Also as an aside, in that cast picture she looks anything but youthful or beautiful, but that is just like, my opinion man.

Scruffpuff posted:It also says a lot that a backer readily admits that the only way to save the project is to take it out of CIG's hands entirely. He's not wrong. I'm still of a mindset that there is a possibility that in the end times, CR will have nobody left but his key people and just farm development off to a Korean or Chinese studio. You'll get a Star Citizen, and it'll be a complete game. It'll just be junk (albeit will probably reuse a lot of the assets). Speaking of assets though, outside of space ships is there a lot of level building stuff?

Scruffpuff posted:I was going to add "I hope he loses every penny" but then realized he has. He's the exact kind of guy where you would hope to see him upset, but he won't be. So don't expect to see him break down or curse CR or anything of the sort. Outside of the whole Miku thing the guy seems to be fairly nice, albeit with a very distressed amount of concern that everybody knows how much he is spending and has spent. As spending money for him is the game, he's doing a good job winning it. Since spending money is the only game CIG offers, he's playing it perfectly. It's really a match made in heaven.

It's not like 90% of her IMDB credits started rolling in after her husband received $200,000,000 from desperate nerds for a space fantasy. It's kinda funny, due to scamming idiots she has enough money to live a lot of people's dream in Hollywood buying her way into acting but she is so terrible she is forever stuck at the level of movie that will sell you a role.

no_recall posted:The main difference is that its a FIRST PERSON GAME. In EVE its pretty simple to click in some commands and do things, also you can zoom the camera all the way out and look at the battle when TD kicks in. When you're playing with friends in ED for example, Wing PVP normally descends into some jousting between ships after awhile, because of the level of actual skill required to pilot the ships. At best you get a group of 2 wings (10 pilots) drop into some Hot PVP action, focus fire and everyone high-wakes (jumps out) and the fight is over before it even started. And the PVP community in Elite is frankly so small that after awhile it got boring seeing the same two dozen commanders. After a point no one even bothered to to interdict each other. The major problem with PVP in Elite is there really isn't much to actually fight over. Nothing has a dramatic impact on the game world. It's not like you can attack a station and take it over for your faction and the output of that station, or taxes collected, etc. make something for the organization. Really that's the major problem with Elite as a whole. It was why I backed Star Citizen initially over Elite as that was what the MMO portion of the game was supposed to offer was some kind of objectives that guilds could fight over such as factories. Now when it came time to try and spell out how that was going to work with instancing we were told we were concern trolls or something instead of getting answers.
