I am fuckin stoked as hell to watch them describe "prison gameplay" for an hour. This will definitely be full of well thought out mechanics and scenarios that will definitely make it into the game after careful testing and review

I can imagine the mostly male population of citizens will be demanding unisex prison shower facilities.

Indeed, if you see a business purporting to sell to general consumers in this part of the world (and many others) and they don't include VAT in the price, there's a fair to even chance that some funny stuff going on that you should be wary of.

This whole talk of fidelity when all the spaceships have giant open windows in the cockpits and all over the ship pisses me off.

I assume they hand wave it away with shields or future construction material but in real life space ships would have either no windows at all or tiny little viewports. If you can see through it that means all kinds of radiation and stellar rays and whatnot can also pass right through. If it's shields that stop it that's dumb cause shields fail. If it's magic future materials that's dumb because they don't even have anti-glare. Looking at a star in space is basically asking for longterm eye damage.

It's also a massive structural weakpoint in literally the most important part of the ship (where the pilot is sitting). Although, since pilot and ship are one that probably has less impact than it should.

In short, buy an Idris.

I say go the other way. If the shields or meta materials are good enough to be visually transparent but somehow block all the bad things and be physically as strong as the rest of the hull, why not make all the exterior walls out of it? Giant floor to ceiling "windows" in every exterior room would be cool. You could moon other ships going by.

I've been trying to play 3.7.1 for two days now but you literally cannot get past the character creator without crashing, making it impossible for people to play. Only people who created characters before the hotfix patch can get in. Maybe in two weeks I'll be able to play the BDSSE.

well?
the "simulation" aspect only extends as far as awkwardly arising from your Hugo-Boss branded wank chamber and hypothetical space-rape mechanics.

the actual gameplay looks like go-karts in space. they keep talking about pilot skill but its the most basic, boring shite.

I think the best part is that when 2020 comes and goes without Squadron 42 coming out, they'll play it off like they knew Hamill was just talking out of his rear end and never honestly believed he'd have some kind of inside scoop about the release date.

I want this. A few pages back someone was talking about wanting an Expanse crossover and I mildly recoiled. I haven't seen the show, but in the books only space stations have windows basically. At one point a spaceship is described as a jagged, windowless skyscraper lying on its side. Star Citizen has basically the exact opposite aesthetic. Everything is sleek and elegant, it's designed to be seen not used.

Wow, just the same old poo poo.

It really is. One can barely tell the difference between this year’s and last, save for the fact that they downsized the venue by multiples. That in itself is really confidence stoking...

500 people allegedly working nearly year round, many in crunch cycles, to produce progress so glacial it can barely be perceived one year to the next. I’m sure Chris is counting on futureporn to give this a pulse and make it intriguing to outsiders but jeez, the stuff between the open and close is mostly just fanservice re-reruns of crap that was painful the first time around...

I wonder if Rexzilla will get special attention or if he’s already yesterday’s news now that they’re paying bigger streamers to hype the game again?

Actually you'll find that the progress is accelerating and, as soon as they finish the pipelines and get rid of the blockers, it'll become exponential.

Like, just today, the most popular thread on the redditz is that CIG has achieved the technological feat of you being able to logout and having your character stay in the same place when you later login... around 80% of the time. Backers are creaming their pants at this never seen before triumph of software engineering.

Its all pretend. There's fidelity and realism. Most shitizens have it mixed up. Our current gear doesn't allow us to remote, hell even with video, there is input lag for a myriad of reasons. But it doesn't mean crobits can't get creative, wait, he can't Sorry.
