Sanya Juutilainen posted:Not really, no. The mines will have to have a stupidly big range, because space is big and free. Even in The Wrath of Khan in 1982 the villain is described as lacking experience with space battles, resulting in two-dimensional thinking. 37 years later, Chris and his project still show a lack of understanding of what space is like. Still, something like cloaked mines with their own propulsion systems drifting around a relatively small object (like a communications relay or similar) or around the entrance to an intersystem wormhole could be a minor source of interesting gameplay in a game made by a good studio. Too bad this is CIG we're talking about.

Erenthal posted:also lmao is that minelayer really 600+ dollars? The minelayer isn't 600 dollars. The minelayer is free ! You are simply donating 600 dollars to CIG to help them develop the game ! You only get the minelayer as a "thank you" reward as a side effect ! Of course, we all know that once Star Citizen is out ( ahahah.. ) they'll stop crowd-funding and selling virtual spaceships. After all, they promised. And it's not in CIG's practises to lie to their backers, do they ?

well you can shut off a planet by surrounding it with a sphere of mines. which will be a good days work i guess. then all you have to do is sit there and wait for the invaders. wait what no invaders are coming? hmm...does anyone remember the codes to turn them mines off?!?

That's a good idea, but now imagine your porch is as big as space, you'd have an awesome porch for sure, but would they come across the turd? I suppose I just can't think of a valid reason, while in space, to drop a mine

I spent 1500 on a bike this week, and I'm getting a lot more literal mileage out of it compared to spending 1950 to buy a ship in a game.

The best part of the mine laying ship is that server performance is loving terrible as it is, and now they're saying they're going to add a ship that spawns large quantities of extra, autonomous entities. But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. It wont have any impact on server performance, because it will never be loving implemented.

Reminder that the rattler cluster missiles were responsible for breaking the only somewhat playable part of the game, arena commander, when cig introduced them and the missile netcode hasn't been accommodated to larger quantities of missiles ever since.

I wouldnt be surprised if they all bought the ship. The entire purpose of an event like this is to create hype and enthusiasm and peer pressure towards making the purchase. I still think this is time-share marketing tactics. i sincerely hope 'static server meshing' means something fancier than instancing otherwise l o l TheDeadlyShoe fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Aug 25, 2019 |
