trucutru posted:Ok, here is the up-to-date info: Excellent - thanks for that effort, Trucutru! So - just to confirm - yellow bars and green checkboxes both mean they're in 3.2? It should be easy enough to photoshop fu this to layers and make some funny gifs that convey a lot very quickly.

I just realized that the vulture and some others had the wrong color (this is why I have the red lines crossing the names instead of being to the side, to prevent these errors) so here is an updated image  e: gently caress, the hello kitty bike is actually in the game, fixed. trucutru fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Jul 22, 2018 |

Spiderdrake posted:I appreciate you spending the time to do that, tru. The Retaliator is a relic of the time where CIG design philosophy was to sell modular ships that could be customized, before they realized that it was a better idea to sell multiple hyper-specialized variants instead. It was also the first ship that was designed for multicrew fighting action, with multiple turrets. The interior is a series of claustrophobic corridors, there is nothing for anybody but the pilot to do in the multicrew ship besides manning the turrets, the turrets don't work most of the time (and when they do it doesn't matter because they are located in completely useless locations and don't deal any sort of real damage), it's missing all its modules, the torpedoes often get stuck at launch (and then explode your own ship), if the flying in SC feels like using no-clip then flying a retaliator is like no-clip with a delay, it is slow, has weak armor, and lovely weapons. It's a complete piece of crap. And ugly to boot. trucutru fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Jul 22, 2018 |

Worst ship in the game has got to be the bengal carrier, because they can't even get that many players in an instance which would be required to crew it. oh wait, in the game... nevermind.

I went thru and created a layered file and dropped it into the Pay to Live comp, just for a quick test. Does it look accurate? Longer term an animated infographic approach — with text inserts — could be neat and informative. I’ll ponder that awhile and see where that leads.

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/90sj3g/mining_whining_on_cigs_plans_for_mining_lets_have/ I really feel kinda bad for this dude I posted earlier, he wrote like decently well written, formatted and spelling/grammar checked 3 pages comparing the current mining "system" to other games that feature resource collection on how it could be improved and made more interesting. His thread was buried instantly and literally every comment (well, besides mine) is telling him to shut up or that SC is better than any other game he used as a comparison point. So I checked the main sub. Top three voted up threads are pictures of ships, none of which I believe are actually functional in any way yet.

G0RF posted:Is the corrected version accurate? It has real animation potential. Ooh, if you're going to do another video and really dig into what ships are "in the game," you should include a special category for the ships that are flyable but are missing core mechanics to fill their appointed "role." Like that Reclaimer salvaging ship that has all the grindy things and sparks but no actual salvaging mechanics or systems in place to do anything.

I mean I understand the cultists don't see it - and I completely understand why the shallow view of the catalogue is exciting - but it's so clear there. Half a decade old designs, sold for thousands, without any hint or suggestion they will ever be implemented. Its a luxury dealership that has posters of all these beautiful models but the only thing that ever drives off the lot are hatchbacks and subcompact crossover buzzword SUVs that punch above their weight.

ewe2 posted:I can't claim originality. Motivated reasoning has been a subject of research for a while, but I first came across ideas about it in Merchants of Doubt, a book I highly recommend for the depth of research and rigour, an attempt to understand the key scientific players who were all Cold War hawks and cut their teeth on tobacco industry astroturfing and think-tank fronts and applied them to climate change. The only theory that made sense to the writers was not that these guys were incapable of understanding the facts or relating them, they just had a vested interest in changing perceptions about the facts to prevent ideas they found threatening taking hold. Now you’re getting it. The internet levelled opinions, but didn’t actually increase the knowledge or experience of the opinion holders. A lack of training against confirmation bias, or self-awareness of the attractiveness of the answer that ‘feels’ right. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the rationalist hero, Sherlock Holmes, but he still spent most of his life chasing literal fairy stories. Science is filled with mistakes and ego, which is why Planck said that science advances through funerals.

Or put put otherwise, about 25% of the ships are 'done' by current standards - with no reason to believe that these standards won't change the next time Chris Roberts sees a cool movie. Pretty neat statistic for a ~200 billion dollar company that produces practically nothing except from 3D assets  Also provides a good look at Ponzi schemes in action. "Yes I know we built only 1 out of the 4 ships you paid me, after exceeding the development timeline 300%, but you know what just gimme more money and I'll throw in another ship!"

Beet Wagon posted:ex2: asked about being how able to switch out bed modules will work "that's one for the marketing department/ we will decide how to roll out those modules once the tech is available" So I get that marketing would have a say on game mechanics and balance in a P2W game. Can any game devs chip in on how normal this is outside P2W?
