Does this mean that you can now more easily sell your previously purchased items (that aren't doing poo poo) and trade them in for in game currency which can't be used to buy new ships, instead can simply be spent on...ammo and rebuy costs i guess

Hold on a second, is that whole thing going down because Gremlich believes the action of ejecting casings is what causes muzzle climb?

You see, the casings eject up and to the right, therefore the gun also 'ejects' up and to the right. It is simple physics.

Amazing the justifications they come up with so that the cash keeps flowing.

I actually agree with Verticse for once when someone says they do it so people test the ships they want people to test and he then asks why the mining ship is not available to all for testing.

^^^ This.

Also, RedBull got a look at a playable Pre-Alpha of “Beyond Good & Evil 2”.

The Star Citizen mentions occur throughout. I’ve excerpted a lot below.


Key passages:


Well if it’s fun to play it isn’t a space game, smarty pants!




Only 500 meters. Phht!



I’d rather see it than read about it and am not especially hyped by their cinematic trailers, beautiful though they are. But it is interesting that Ubisoft is going for an ARPG space fantasy game with an ambitious engine, space flight and combat, big rear end motherships and what not. And interesting too that RedBull seems eager to poke explicitly at CIG’s glacial pace and lifeless space vision. I’d not be surprised if the demo and interview had a lot of off the record (crap)talk about Star Citizen or if Ubisoft was more explicitly inviting the comparisons that carried through to the article narrative. If nothing else, the author seems to be enjoying taking the piss.


:five::five:

The funny thing about all this is while SC backers are busy telling CIG to take all the time they need to get things right, and how CIG are trying to do stuff that's never been done before, other companies are just going ahead and doing what SC is doing, and in some cases, a lot better and... actually releasing stuff.

Its been said before, and is worth repeating, by the time SC is released, it will be far behind what everyone else is doing.

Having said that, personally doubt i'll be getting BG&E2. Never played the first one either. It does look pretty though.

Everything described in their write-up sounds intriguing and cool. Everyone shown in their trailers seems lame. The engine - to the extent we've seen it in action and read about it - sounds especially promising. That it will be a playable and hugely ambitious space game seems plausible enough these days, which is itself kind of surprising. And that its an ARPG more than a Space Sim is a relief -- I feel space sim'd out at this point.

It already does/is.

The game looks and plays outdated. Even if they somehow finish enough to reach the MVP milestone and release the game is hopelessly old and tacky looking. There's no vision, weak grasp of aesthetics and everything is obsolete. It needed to be cutting edge with the best engine and the best tech to make those underwhelming assets pop.

Though I ascribe to the theory there is no intention to ever release nor does the community functionally desire a release.

There is basically no reason you would ever need a supply of Argon. It is completely unreactive, and its main use is in industrial manufacturing processes where it can be pumped into an area to replace oxygen and prevent various chemical reactions. Sometimes it's used in medical grade lasers, and sometimes in industrial fire extinguishers, for basically the same reason.

It's a common shielding gas for welding so welders often have big tanks of (typically 75% argon 25% Co2) next to their setups, which are probably the main purchasers of it at gas supply houses.

They're also generic future guns as gently caress. It's clear that they're basically high-tech future copies of the G36 carbine.

Anyone who has ever posted about how Star Citizen is dumb because of the gun physics is also just as dumb.

I am amazed how some posters have come out all "that's not now guns works, I know, I gun, Star Citizen is bad"

Star Citizen IS bad and mismanaged ….. Gun nuts are just as, if not more bad and more dangerous.

While many here are keen on the "once this ends people will die (by suicide or revenge)!!!" drama.

The love of guns is more deadly and DOES lead to deaths.


Beerforthebeergod boost how when he got his refund he spent it on a gun goes to show the cross over in the people who would give Chris Roberts money (They live in a dream world ….. That can be very real dangerous to the general population) and those who are living in a dream world.

He gave Chris Roberts a lot of money, he also has weapons that are designed to kill people with totally efficiency.

Every have given Chris Roberts money is dumb.
