Do we even have a 890 Jump in our goon org or will we all be stuck having to play space basketball on the deck of our Kracken? If so, I think we may need quite a few spare basketballs.

Will the Vandual have basketball courts in their ships too? Can I have a half court in my tonk? ( You know it's big enough). Can I have a horse polo ground (and stables) in my Endeavour? Will the controls for doing a slam dunk be based on hover mode? Can I slam dunk so hard it smashes the backboard, and the whole ship? (I think they have already coded this in). At Grim Hex, will the hoop have chain instead of net to show that this is the baddies place? Will we get basketball shoes designed by Sandi? So many questions, I think they need a new show "Star Citizen Basketball Dreams" Oh, Chris, Chris, I have an idea (how you can scum more money off your fans). In the character creator lock any height over 5ft 10 behind a paywall.

Oh god I somehow forgot about the tonk. Has there been anything more talked about it at all, or is it still just a jpg and dreams?

Yes, going over 445MPH in the year 2942 or whatever...christ, what a poo poo pile. Of course, one can die of a heart attack running to your ship spawn so all seems in the lore.

LOL. Imagine the design meeting where component degradation was discussed. Crobbers: "I want components to degrade because fidelity. I mean, sometimes things need changing on my Porsche." Dev: "Err, OK boss. How often do things need changing on your Porsche?" Crobbers: "Hmm. Every couple of years I guess?" Dev: "OK we can do that for the ships in the game, no problemo. Might even be a neat little side game, sourcing comp-" Crobbers: "Stop right there, bucko - I want components degrading after a couple of minutes if our citizens don't fly with due care and attention." Anti-fun gremlin: "That's the spirit!"

Sillybones posted:the pipe laying mini-game  Actually, on that subject, I haven't seen any space horndogs asking about *ehem* intimacy mechanics and relationships in-game like I would expect from a bunch of internet weirdos. Aside from the inevitable consequence of piracy guy, are citizens interested in having that, or have they transferred their sexual attraction to their ships?

CeeJee posted:At least Uber is (forced by law) somewhat honest in saying none of what is in their press release will happen. Yo "will" is on this list? That's just malicious. On Uber's side of course, I am so glad they have to put a statement like that in so people can basically throw every press release into the garbage. Dynastocles posted:
I bet there was someone asking about prostitution in space ports. After all, people need to vent somewhere after a long day of carrying boxes, right? Might get some extra mileage out of the grabby hands if you know what I mean.

Be careful, sometimes your rich clientele will murder your space hookers and you have to hide it from the UEE... but don't worry, Origin's got your back! the 890 deluxe comes standard with smuggling compartments the UEE arn't legally allowed to check. Thanks, Space Parliament!

Good for him. Why buy 6 (six) actual games when you could blow the same amount on a dog turd of a ship for a buggy crytek mod from 2012. Because all good citizens know the vanguard is a very good ship that is definitely worth $250.

Even though they make almost nothing except art, CIG still seems rather slow compared to that one guy who modeled much of the Enterprise-D in UE4 on his own. Of course, he had a sane design to work towards, which I guess is more than what the artists will ever get at CIG.

Hasn't materialized despite a bunch of other ground vehicles showing up. My guess is that it doesn't seem properly heavy or something because of the fake "hover" mechanics they've used to build all the other vehicles.

Zazz Razzamatazz posted:Good for him. Shows how rear end backwards the citizens are: 6 completed and released games going through a disliked storefront = Scam. 1 incomplete, unusable asset with no gameplay and no accompanying game, being sold at the price equivilent of 6 actual games = Totally not a scam. Honestly, this is "running face first at a concrete wall with eyes closed and arms held behind back" behaviour, and it's just so funny, I hope it never ends. Long live this dumpster fire, may the citizens continue to throw money at it.

MedicineHut posted:Yeah I wasnt fully fair. Also, as opposed to Theranos or CIG, Uber at least has an actual real product. They have hyped up and sold many dreams about how profitable it will be though. And whales be whales. I'm not sure Uber's product is anything more than a model for a business to skirt around existing employment law tbh. I could be wrong but it sure seems like that's the real disrupting force they bring to the industry.

Once Chris is convinced that for each height option on the character creator there needs to be a whole new set of motion capture, he'll get on board pretty loving quick. In fact he'll add even more options. "Ratio of hip/knee/ankle is fully selectable! Fire up the mocap rigs!"

You should go look up New York taxi badges and figure out why the mob usually got involved with them. You're completely right, however. Uber's entire business model was built around ignoring the taxi and private car business and pushing convenience. As soon as everyone catches up with the disruption, the disruptor dies unless they shift business models. It's why Netflix moved to a net producer of content from a mere delivery network.

Me yesterday:Sarsapariller posted:* 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. Citizens today: Is the 890J going to be the test bed for NPC crews?

Colostomy Bag posted:Yes, going over 445MPH in the year 2942 or whatever...christ, what a poo poo pile. Out of curiosity I looked up some airplane speeds. The cruising speed of a 747-400 (introduced in 1988 by the way!) is well over 200 m/s. Now I don't know how often parts are replaced are on a 747 but I'm imagining that 1000 years of progress would allow for some improvements to cruising speed and durability in atmospheric flight.

People seem to really like it and as Hav pointed out regular taxi companies can end up pretty lovely and corrupt. The fact that uber will actually get you from point A to point B in a reasonable amount of time places it miles ahead above Store Citizer, that's for sure. I just meant to emphasize what y'all were already pointing out, that similarities between Uber investor hype and Star Citizen dreamers aren't a good sign.

Fidelitious posted:Out of curiosity I looked up some airplane speeds. The cruising speed of a 747-400 (introduced in 1988 by the way!) is well over 200 m/s. Well, planes do go through checklist after checklist to ensure functionality before every flight and regular-enough inspections to determine the safety of the plane, iirc. That being said, the 747-400, at cruising speed, isn't exactly pulling the same speeds as the fighter aircraft of the world that are capable of Mach 1 speeds on the regular. But yeah, 1000 years into the future we definitely haven't figured out how to create a new super metal that could allow space craft that can achieve flight in and out of atmosphere, and can perform "Quantum Jumps", survive numerous attacks from energy and kinetic weapons... gently caress it, you traveled from one continent to another on the same planet, time to pay 20,000 space bucks to fix the "wear and tear" on your ship.
