You can watch the bartender with movie grain, like an old timey film.

It's amazing how quickly in that thread they rationalize the time spent on the bartender. "Why are they spending so much time on this thing that doesn't matter to the space dogfighting game they haven't finished yet?" "Oh, well, this information I pulled out of my rear end says it will be the basis for every other NPC interaction in the game, that again, may I remind you, does not matter to the space dogfighting that they haven't finished that yet!" "Oh, whew! My immersions are safe." Dementropy posted:https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/anticipation-of-the-arrival-of-squadron-42 Lol, it's a thread about speculating about when SQ42 will be out, and everyone in the thread is speculating about when SQ42 will be out, but it was closed because "the conversation has drifted into topics outside the scope of the OP original post".

I keep thinking that's going to happen to me, but when I see them looking at all this wasted time on bartenders, and thinking "hypercompetent cutting-edge AI prototype development," instead of, say "easily distracted by shiny things," it passes.

Exactly like every other quest giving NPC. Oh for sure, the NPCs will never be any better than they are now, and the Citizenry will quickly all forget about or internalize it. There will be a post once a month or so on Reddit about "hey remember how Chris promised us life long friendships with hyper intelligent NPCs? When will that be in the game?" The response will be a deluge of downvotes and a chorus of "IT'S ALPHA!"; followed by a few galaxy-brained effort posts dripping with cognitive dissonance about how subsumptive AI is actually fully developed and already in the game you see, it just hasn't been completely turned on yet.

You have to remember it could be anyone that gets sucked into these scams. Nobody is really immune to it. It happened to people posting here in this thread, but thankfully the community figured out it was a con long before most other people. That ten bux fee is good for weeding out shitheads and keeping the conversation somewhat productive. Reddit is where any idiot can make a multitude of accounts and continue to dumb down the conversation and chase out anyone that dares to challenge the dream. It's perfect for social media management to keep those whales spending.

In case you worried that maybe Citizens were not actually loving obsessed with the hangar on the upcoming space yacht: They are really, really obsessed with it ""Let's fantasize about playing basketball on our spaceships just like the days I spent as an aircraft technician," says the person who spelled hangar incorrectly!

Aramoro posted:Ah yes a High Threat SAM system, with it's range of 2km. Just look how backwards the British were in 1944 when they designed the Fairey Stooge with a range of only 5km, idiot. This is exactly the kind of design problems you're going to have when you mix an infinite space game with a walking simulator game. Ultimately you're trying to make an arcade Arma game where the player can't be killed without some sort of CoD type action, except he can be killed from 200 miles away from some guy literally in space with a huge telescope module attached to their ship.

They should be selling a system of four networked vehicles that you can command your peons to control like the real life Russian S-400. They will get to this when they talk about how you can target ships in other server instances multiple instances away from your own due to how awesome the server meshing technology they developed 2 years ago is. I for one look forward to these death missiles popping out of nothing to blow you up immediately.

There are a few things Chris wants in the game that are a verbatim copy of his imagination. The bar and bartender are one of the more inane ones but is nothing compared to the Javelin, with the flight deck, mess hall and all the military trappings. I don't know why they are complaining though. If they are following the game closely enough to read the reddit, they know full well what they have signed up for.

A new episode of Inside Star Citizen is out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EG-0nzkzrE Summary: * NPC's are finished! Well. The concept art for some NPC's is finished. Actually it's the concept art for a rework of the shopkeeper NPC's that are already in the game. What, you wanted forward progress? * Bartender and Waiters have more "Flair." Holy gently caress no human being living or dead has ever cared about the flair on a piece of concept art for wait staff in a spaceship video game. * I bet you'd like to see some space chefs, wouldn't you? You wouldn't? gently caress you. It looks like every other chef's uniform. * Chris Roberts watched some Star Wars movies and now he forgot that "Bounty Hunter" isn't just a generic thing you can do, and he has demanded "Bounty Hunter" NPC's that look like Boba Fett got mugged by Judge Dredd. Don't worry, we didn't actually produce any of this- it's just concept art. * Cold weather gear for the player! Well. Concept art for cold weather gear for the player! * In-game plants, or something? Don't worry there's no mechanics attached and we're showing them in a greybox state. * New, uh, counters? I had the sound off here but it's just some panning shots of perfectly boring counters, tables, and surfaces. Holy poo poo they have nothing * We've almost finished the interior art for an alien spaceship! Nonfunctional, of course. * We're still working on the interior for a spaceship that was on the roadmap for release a month and a half ago! Nonfunctional, of course. * Now you may ask, how does it not constitute lying if we had it on the roadmap while knowing we'd be working on it well after the release date? The answer is: look at this beautiful ship's galley! Remember those concept art NPC's we showed earlier? You are supposed to imagine them working in here, on your yacht. They won't actually be, and we aren't suggesting that they will be- you won't catch us on camera making that promise! But we just wanted to show you some NPC's you might see in a galley, and then later show you this galley, and let you do some free association. * Pool table and arcade machine! Nonfunctional, of course. * Airlock for the hangar! Both sides of airlock open immediately as player approaches. That part needs setting up, still. It will never be set up. * (The scene literally transitions to a completely separate one when he walks through the doors at 6:55. You can see the spawned-in spaceships settling. Not making it up, they are completely bullshitting everything about the hangar working.) * This ship has a loving spa deck. Nonfunctional, of course. The amazing luxury towels featured on last week's episode make an appearance! * Don't worry, the nonfunctional jacuzzi has undergone a complete rework. He actually says this. * There is no water in the jacuzzi on the spa deck. Of course. * That's it. This ship costs 900 dollars and is years behind schedule and won't expand the gameplay meaningfully when it's released. Nothing works, it's just art. The end, no punchline.

"Ships with Character" And that character is "sterile superyacht" But the Citizens will love it because POCKET CARRIER Question: Do players who haven't paid the $900 actually get to play with it on the test server? Or do only those who shelled out for it get to? Seems like an inefficient way to bug test if so.

This isn't a space game, there's no actual gameplay, there's no potential even for gameplay, only an apparent artist showing off basic cookie cutter room design and asking people to 'imagine' things the whole way through, it's a ridiculous waste of money and time.

How else will you get that sad moment when you talk to one of your wingmates who was close to the wingmate who just died/suicided to save the greater good? This is a required scene and it works best in a bar setting aboard a military ship.

Are they not supposed to be thinking about things like people running through there shooting stuff and lobbing grenades around? Just imagine it. A whole yacht ship. Imagine the parties you'll be able to throw with your giant staff of richly attired NPC chefs, and your aircraft techs playing basketball in the hangar. Imagine how important you're going to feel when you put them in a line in front of your elevated Captain's Desk and dress them down for roughhousing in front of the Ambassador's Wife. Imagine the wild pool party and maybe a bit more on the spa deck. Imagine how rich and fancy and successful you're going to feel and how jealous all your friends will be. The gameplay is in your dreams, at night, as you lie in bed thinking about how great it's all going to be. The reality could never compare- why pursue it? Give us the money and keep on imagining.

quote:Such basketball court is something I would expect to see on a military or industrial vessel. There should be place where crew can blow off some steam or just relax. That is not however something I would expect to see in a hangar of luxury ship. If you are a VIP personel you do not really want to see a basket ball course right beside the place where you land your luxury plane. On top of that, as an owner of the Yacht you would not really want your gest to stumble upon your crew while in the middle of the game - sweaty and possibly without shirts.
