Back when I actually tried to play this mess, I never really tried to shoot the pilot.

Instead, my thing was to sneak aboard a Starfarer (the biggest ship at the time and a mess of side rooms and hallways), wait till they took off, and use the /cry emote a couple of times. The pilot would hear these creepy sobs, and you could hear them get out of the pilot seat and look around.

As long as I was crouched I wouldn't make any other noise, just the occasional sob... One guy must have been so creeped out he just logged out and I was suddenly left in space. Or his client crashed. You never can tell with Star Citizen.

The same as usual. The game development started in 2018, they polish pipelines, rubbing will commence any minute now, 350M of backers can't be wrong, etc, etc.

It's amusing to watch Charlie Hall change over the years. He used to be a massive shill for SC, to the point where Derek went full warlord on him. At this point, he probably realized how pointless internet fights were, since SC would never release anyway, so he went silent for a while.

Now, he eventually drops a completely tone deaf article about SC new features, without anything positive or negative about. It's almost like he is doing the bare minimum to be able to claim they still cover SC.

I still can't get over that comment from earlier. I love that none of these people understand that this doesn't work because everyone has the fantasy of being the shithead space capitalist lording over like 10 other players
and nobody has the fantasy of being lorded over by the shithead space capitalist
the numbers are not there sis

The usual excuse for this is that the resulting vacuum will be filled with NPCs that have been not so subtly implied to be as lifelike as real players.

If you bring up this point (no one wanting to eat poo poo for someone else in a videogame) then this is usually the response.

I sneaked on a ship about a year or so ago. Waited for the pilot to take off. Shot him in the head at point blank range while he was sitting in the pilot chair, multiple times. He didn't die. Then he, flickered, glitched, then teleported out of the seat, shot me once, and i died.

Semper fidelitus.

Probably because when you get in the pilot seat, you "become" the ship. So you were firing a hand weapon against the HP of whatever ship he or she was flying.

Blobers, you could give Stevie Wonder a keg of whiskey, a full choked shotgun and spin him around a few times, then tell him to shoot and hit a moving F1 race car going at full chat 5 miles away and he'd still do a better job of hitting the target than any of CI¬g's roadmap predictions.

Sabreseven posted:

Ah yes, that mature (waves hands round pretending they are space ships), big picture (make that pixel blue not green) thinker CR.

Last time he had anything to do with the "big picture" was when Costner sued him for not making it.

I don't think CR is at all mature or grown up mentally in the slightest, he giggles like a schoolgirl over his own poorly thought out 'game' "ideas" rather, absolves himself of the burden of guilt when failing or doing wrong (it was the dog mommy, honest), spits all over a tech demo's Birthday cake like a dribbling toddler, and spends 8 hours writting a rebuttal that reads as if an 8 year old got called "Captain Poopypants" by his arch nemesis "Captain Smart". To top it off, he spends his days prying money from the wallets of those who seem to either be a bit gullable or/and enjoy any and all forms of torture (the 'game', the 'QT' times, the needless tedium, the pricing of undelivered ingame items, the ridiculous "lore" that has no connection to anything in the game, the endless Youtube spam of marketing bullshittery, the endless obvious shills like Blobers/Zilla recruiting any braindead walking cashbag left, the overarching Coolaid culture, and the general shittiness of anything related at all to CI¬g).

The whole thing, as it goes on without actually going anywhere, feels more and more like watching "Jonestown part duex - The Crobbler refactorium" and has absolutely no simularity to actual dev work being carried out on countless actual games (seriously, they do things so rear end-backwards at CI¬g that it's as if they are purposefully taking the piss and wasting money) other than CI¬g occasionally trying to explain how a piece of in-engine tech worked 20 years ago (which they immediately claim to have invented).

(Lots of words, I do apologize, and then immediately absolve myself of everything) :P

Actually, it's the Kilrathi ship from Star Citizen, but you'll be excused for making that mistake.

Wait...
Placing a turtle on the floor of your space chariot kills you? How does that even happen?!? Does the physics engine send the turtle flying into your character fast enough to kill you or something?
