tooterfish posted:As far as I can tell, this mechanism is completely hidden from players. You could teleport the thing after a short delay and it'd look exactly the same from a player's perspective, inside or out? It's total bullshit- nothing in the game moves this smoothly, if elevators worked like this you would clip through the floor every time you traveled in them. Also, if elevators worked like this there would be no need for all of them to be totally sealed units. Elevators are teleport boxes, end of story. This is either Citizen fantasizing or outright lying by the devs.

Client 1: Did you say 'knives'? Mr. Wiggin: Rotating knives, yes. Client 2: Do I take it that you are proposing to slaughter our tenants? Mr. Wiggin: ...Does that not fit in with your plans? Client 1: Not really. We asked for a simple block of flats. Mr. Wiggin: Oh. I hadn't fully divined your attitude towards the tenants. You see I mainly design slaughter houses. Clients: Ah. Mr. Wiggin: Pity. Clients: Yes. Mr. Wiggin: (indicating points of the model) Mind you, this is a real beaut.

Client 2: We're sorry you feel that way, but we did want a block of flats, nice though the abattoir is. Mr. Wiggin: Oh sod the abattoir, that's not important. (He dashes forward and kneels in front of them.) But if any of you could put in a word for me I'd love to be a mason. Masonry opens doors.

stinch posted:there is no way forcing someone to code an elevator in star citizen with multiple doors wouldn't be considered a cruel and unusual punishment. Just having two doors is a risk. Double the doors doubles the lethality. Two sets of sliding doors may as well be a ramp. You now what I really missed from Mass Effect? The quality elevator time.

Wait so they are going to have 1 elevator that is physically modeled as moving thru the station and so if someone else is using the elevator you have to wait until it's available to use? They turned elevators into a train. This is the Spinal Tap of game development "it goes to 11" moment.

Case of overengineering and underdelivering, and they wonder why CI no G's needs to increase funding? Make the drat elevator teleport, at least for now and go all fancy dancy pants post-release. It's like putting hours of effort on a coffee cup or coffee machine... oops too late.

I'm thinking 85 US dollars for a VIP elevator fast pass which allows access to the no-plebs-allowed luxury elevator with maybe a bar and a fancy-dressed elevator operator who calls you sir and announces to you what's on each level. It also undoubtedly has a toilet.

Why would you buy a bunch of promises and debt when the IP itself is worth nothing? Maybe like My.com or some lovely F2P company would pick it up since they know they can juice the whales some more but no real publisher would touch it with a 250 million foot pole.

Guess I want to believe there must be something of value in there if Chris was shown the door and someone came in to narrow the scope a little.
