This is open thread development. There is no thread like it in the world. The fidelity that we will see in this thread will be better than any other thread out there. In fact the whole of Facebook could fit into this thread.

Aqua Seafoam Shame posted:Hello thread, since several posters have been posting their SC-spanning bios, I thought I'd share a bit of my own recent life story. About a month ago, I had an adverse reaction to a psychiatric med I just started taking, and essentially had a massive, daylong series of panic attacks. After that calmed down, I developed a host of PTSD-style symptoms (basically PTSD, but they don't call it that unless it's been a while). So for the past four weeks I've been dealing with wild mood swings, severe bouts of anxiety and depression, dissociation, hypersensitivity, and some other fun stuff. Progress is also extremely uneven, meaning that I'll have a good day, followed by a couple of crummy ones. And on it's gone. But I'm finally starting to come out of it. The last few days have brought a lot of hope and positivity. Two and a half weeks ago after sharp chest pains got rushed to hospital they thought I had clot in my lung pulmanery embolism (super bad). I work away from home so I was lying in hospital alone, getting rushed around while they frantically try to stop me from dying pretty scary stuff. Turns out I had an infection around my heart bad but I'm not dying and I have been slowly recovering ever since. I remember thinking at the time oh my god im going to be one those people who dies waiting for star citizen to come out ! Even worse that is such a sad thought to have right now... But then I love star citizen, this thread, how obviously hopeless the project has become, I enjoy being surprised at how the undead monster shambles along year after year... The daily lurk cheers me up, makes me laugh, I certainly feel more postative about my own projects. I don't know where I'm going with this other than I can relate in some way.. Hope you get well soon, losing an important part of your health sucks, remember to laugh where you can, even at other people's expense.

stinch posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGz4cSS4GyY&t=3548s The 5 years thing is great, but also they get asked about how missiles and mines are interesting in combat "missiles are either too powerful or useless, how do you think the game could handle that?" "balance... but its a problem." Lmao, the answer is just "Balance!" Then Shiver goes on about how "that's the trope with missiles and mines in games, you need balance of chaff and flares, you need to be able to go into an asteroid belt and the missile is not prepared to turn as much as you--SOMETHING FUN AND INTERESTING NOT JUST PUSH BUTTON, CHAFF!" "Yeah.... there needs to be a possibility that the chaff doesn't work" Lmao these clowns. First, they have no idea what they're even on about. But second, thinking CIG can implement any of this at all.

Hello commandos, I first learned about this shitshow when kickstarter was still running, and I though I would support it, because I though it would be cool to have high budget space pewpew like Tie Fighter or Freespace. So I went to their webpage to learn more about who is even developing this, but I only got more confused. There were CIG and RSI, but RSI was also an in game company and webpage was named after in game company? After my brain finally was able to comprehend that kickstarted game has already 2 companies behind it, and one of them is also a in game company (bonus points if it is named after you), I noped out of there. That's my story... Also I'm still amazed that CI~G persuaded backers that "render to texture" is some "tech" that needs to be developed. I mean even WebGL supports it - in browser - on your phone... I think this is their greatest achievement to this day

Zaphod42 posted:The 5 years thing is great, but also they get asked about how missiles and mines are interesting in combat I tried arguing a few game design issues like this. I got that answer from the commandos as well. You can just Balance it. Star Citizen will have the most balance fidelity of any game, i'm sure. There is a recent reddit thread with a gif showing off a Constellation being one shot by a size 9 torpedo. One hit. The citterati were agog with enthusiasm at how great it was that torpedo bombers will just murder everything. It is a peculiar mental block that they cannot imagine it happening to them instead of happening to their opponents. Another case of the typical starwhale being more invested in the dream than a working game, I think. TheDeadlyShoe fucked around with this message at 10:32 on Sep 6, 2019 |

TheDeadlyShoe posted:I tried arguing a few game design issues like this. I got that answer from the commandos as well. You can just Balance it. Yeah, but the torpedo bomber can only carry 2 torpedoes and you need 30 commandos to reload. Also, torpedoes cost real $$$ to refill. Balance

V2 of this thread needs transparent clipart in the OP. Like all the crobbears and that Ryan Archer signature but higher res. By this I mean that Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is great and I wish I knew how to use Photoshop.

Be patient you entitled brats, the new thread will be available in two weeks when they are done refactoring it. My favorite posters in this thread are Sarsapariller for the hilarious trip reports (we should have a "citizens react" to his posts seriously), Thoatse for the cute animals and Beet for the crobear probe and Kayak updates. There, I said it.
