I do enjoy how there's such a disconnect in the human brain between dreams and reality. Like, it'd be nice if once you got some harebrained scheme stuck up in your head the rational, logical part of your mind would kick in and pour cold water all over the idea, if warranted. The fact that that doesn't happen has led to much hilarity throughout history...and massive tragedy.

YOUTUBE: Around the Verse - Stop, Hammer(head) Time!

Opening cinematic is a MISC Prospector commercial. Also, Chris is once again MIA, no doubt in the UK putting in overtime on Reclaimer salvage animations and the glorious Squadron 42 reel that’s going to blow you haters ON YOUR ASSES.

After Sandi and Eric introduce themselves, Sandi’s line, “but first, let’s go back to that Prospector commercial...”

Eric: “This is but a potential exploration of the earliest versions of this mechanic in the persistent universe.” (Maybe just use Tier Zero next time. It sounds less troubling...)

It was amazing

ok im posting way too much today but well.
you say ppl bankrupted themselves. supposed the festival would have been awesome. they would STILL go home broke. but i guess they would have thought it was worth it then. like: im bankrupt but i saw ja rule. good deal.

but now lets go back to sc and one thing i will NEVER understand. the term “investment“ would always pop up among backers. what do they expect to get back? and that is a point where even cig are crystal clear: guys you wont get a penny back! so how can you even use this completely wrong term? yes they are emtionally invested but thats a different thing. like if i empty my wallet into the hat of a bum/hobo...did i INVEST into the bum or what??

Introducing the brand new, out of the blue “3.3.5”!

Coming... “soon”.



Classic!

So they did exactly what was expected. The non-OCS release for CitizenCon (3.2+) will feature “new ships, features and gameplay” (including FPS AI enemies).

But 3.3.5 (formerly 3.3) is going to take a little while. Why ruin CitizenCon with an unplayable Hurston and all the other stuff you’ve been told to get hyped about all year? It sounds like it’s not coming with the 3.3 they’re dropping. Just like Lando has been preparing us for.

Lurkers who belived otherwise, please watch this.

I think if you would have asked the investment question years ago you would have gotten responses about how ship prices will only go up and people were flipping ships for big profits on the grey market. If you were to ask the investment question now you'd hear about how they're "investing" in the last video game they'll ever have to buy, or one they'll play for at least a decade. They're "investing" in their space Second Life. And in this life they will be on top, the elite, the famous space explorer, the dashing space rogue, the feared admiral on the bridge of their capital ship, the (lol)respected space news journalist ...

I'm not hopeful for the other mission giver, who doesn't actually have a mesh yet.


"Creating a new mission giver to add to the Levski location. This includes concepting with the character team, creation of the character's clothing/props and environment, capturing performance/lines, solving the animation and audio files for implementation into the engine, creating the Behavior tree, and hooking up mission content for this character. This task will also include the creation of any text needed to accompany their mission."

bewbs are hard.

gin will be proportional to the mixers, obviously.

If you mean, will a 1/12 scale of their universe really gently caress around with gravitation simulation, why yes, it totally will.

This is why they're going to have a big curtain to hide transitions and they'll completely make gravity _disappear!_. You'll travel from small area to small area, totally unlike the X games!

There will no doubt be some hilarious footage coming even out of 3.2+. I can’t wait.

Seems all but certain now Chris is going to go big on Squadron 42 at CitCon just to offset the buzzkill of no Hurston, Lorville and moons.

Chris logic: “Star Citizen’s a bust this year, so i’ll blind them with the star power of Squadron!!!”

And two days later, CIG will be in Judge Gee’s courtroom pretending Squadron is the same game.
