The presentation around it being a 'lone wolf' ship and so on does seem to argue for it being a SC ship rather than 42. I bet the lasersats will appear in 42 tho. Mines like that have been in pretty much every space fighter game.

Bofast posted:"Some people had no dishes", "there wasn't enough potatoes for all", "not enough bread for the starters", "portions were really small sized". I'm more interested in the final line, "At least there has been enough beer and wine for all." Plying people with alcohol is literally the go to tactic of a wide array of people that want something from another party. Throw in the fact they did it to people they controlled to be on an empty stomach and you have some careful planning that deserves recognition.

Sure the vast, vast majority will take their stupidity with them to their graves, labeling it "genius" until their final breath, but surely there's at least one guy that could be reached. One person you can talk to and say, "Dude, you're someone else's PhD. Right now that's your net value to society - that someone else has learned how to help others by watching you fail", and the light dawns on them. The one with the mustache? Possibly so.

DebonaireD posted:There is no such thing as good dogfighting. It is all just turning as hard as you can, and it sucks. I doubt it will, but that would be some AAA level comedy. I guess the WoW Classic servers launched like... yesterday? Blizzard was clearly not ready for the amount of people who wanted to play on them, to the point where people seemed to get queues in the launcher itself and/or could not even resubscribe because of the load. Of course, we have our own Lethality to confirm that it will probably go pretty well by saying how he wants to play something else https://twitter.com/real_lethality/status/1166357398891761664

Actually, folks thought it sucked, mostly because it sucked. It wasn't "hardcore," it was infantile, unless you think jumping out of a colored area is the height of hardcore gameplay. Wake me up when the poo poo that kills you comes out of nowhere and is not telegraphed in literally any way whatsoever, and raid attrition is a guarantee rather than a function of not standing in the bad. I've always enjoyed gamers who use the word "hardcore" to describe the act of sitting on their ever-widening asses for hours and days while they move their wrists slightly.

It also completely ruins his other arguments in that thread where he claims that letting people buy $1000 ships isn't unbalanced because CIG said 90% NPCS!!!! or something.

*ahem* I invite you all to... Theorycraft with me for a moment: -Why does a minelayer have a crew of 8? -Not counting the pilot, what will the 7 other crewmen do as part of their normal gameplay function? -Do mines load and dispense automatically? -Did Chris watch Star Wars while high and forget that the opening sequence featured bombers and not minelayers? -How much does one mine cost, and how will this be balanced between the various different mines? -How is the player expected to "launch" mines, and how are patterns established? -Is it possible to track down who placed which mines and earn a bounty or "bad" reputation that way? -Why can't mines be named? -Why can't mines be painted a different color? -Can mines be used as impromptu bombs? -How safe will it be to fly? -Can you ram a minelayer into another ship and cause a supermassive explosion because of the volatile cargo you have? -Why not? -Wait a minute... can you load a Hull E with mines, crash THAT into a planet or star and create a black hole? Oh, wait, this game is loving stupid and will never be realistic because that is too impossibly complex for some dipshit who can't code, in a video game in 2019.

Bofast posted:I doubt it will, but that would be some AAA level comedy. I played the launch last night. My queue was ~30 minutes because I'm not a numpty and signed up on one of the newer servers. It was a goddamn blast, most fun I've had in a multiplayer game in years. Dun Morogh was jam-packed with people fighting for spawns, the quest journals were completely unmarked on the map, the whole thing was a clusterfuck of trying to tag monsters before the hunters could- it made the whole world feel social and active and alive, again. People actually whispered me! People grouped together to do stuff! Low level monsters were actually really scary and pulling two at once was a good way to die! Money and bag-space were stressors but that made the whole thing feel more like an adventure. I worry that the feeling will drop off as the population dies down or spreads out to more manageable levels, but for at least one day, it really felt like an MMO again- the kind where everyone's in it together and it's about the journey, not the destination. There wasn't a single bullshit store or survival mechanic in sight. So yeah I absolutely get why Lethality would hate it.

Scruffpuff posted:To be fair, CIG paved the road long ago to allow them to just arbitrarily give release numbers to their builds, and backers proved long ago that they'll swallow that and ask for more. 1.0 Release Version will come out, because CIG will just keep the current build as it is and just start calling it that. They'll herald it as a milestone achievement, claim they're now in an "iteration cycle" with more to come so now we've proved haters wrong there's never been a better time to pledge more, and backers will take a thundering herd of victory laps. We live in a strange world where builds have been over 1.0 for years, we pay VAT on transactions, and Chris is on record saying "what is release ?"... yet the game's is early in development, ya know ?
