Nah, you see - we don't understand how quantum mechanics magically makes things work in the real universe, so therefore if they throw the word quantum randomly at their lovely-rear end code, it will magically work, too.

There's a reason they made the map view so snazzy. The actual mechanics of what's going on is incredibly basic

Please to be restful, it is only a puffin that has from the puffin place outbroken.
It's good to know that there's a complex, realistic simulation running in the background to explain why there's one npc in the universe that wants to buy illicit drugs or whatever, once every ten minutes.

They're showing a basic-level economic strategy game, in animations and org charts.

Let's watch the aluminum.

Seriously why are they building a basic-rear end 4X game ?

Why does any of this need to exist? Aren't the players supposed to drive the economy?

And again, this is just basic rear end poo poo any videogame would do as part of their gameplay, but CIG expects to get applause for it.

My favorite part of baghead is you can see his beard sticking out of the bottom of the bag, kinda defeating the entire point of having a helmet

It was like 5 people who said "KEEP GOING" as no-one else was listening.
Same logic as their expanded game scope poll that 200 people (mostly CIG employees) voted on. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO RESPONDED TO THIS OBSCURE QUESTION WE DID NOT PUBLICISE ANYWHERE HAVE SPOKEN.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have called it "complex". But I still can't see them getting it to work when the use actual Star Citizen NPC's and ships rather then little 2D icons.

That's been already explained. Nothing actually exists in the game itself but, when a player is flying they roll a dice to see if they should generate from thin air some ships/pirates/whatever based on the what their economy simulation says is happening there.


Which is also standard loving procedure in all those other games.
