UnknownTarget posted:IIRC wasn't it one of the major things in the original pitch though? Like the video centered around it. Yeah, the original concept was basically Freelancer 2.0, with the solo portion being Squadron 42, which would then boot you out into the wider PU when you were done. Plenty of people backed for that, but no one still bought in now actually wants or cares about that anymore, no matter how much lip service they give it - they just want Space Second Life. Well, they do care about it, but not about playing it - they assume a bunch of non-backer people will buy it and it will fund a bunch more PU development. What I DON'T think was in the original pitch was how much on-foot combat S42 and the PU would have. It was supposed to be all dogfighting. But I'd have to go check.

Popete posted:The game engine isn't the problem with SC. It's that they have no design plan and just kept making ever more absurd promises that they had no idea how to get working. Yeah exactly. You select an engine that supports your gameplay goals. Roberts had no gameplay goals and selected an engine that he thought made things look pretty. It's impossible to say what a good engine would have been. On paper SC is everything and nothing. In order to speculate what engine might have worked you'd first have to define what the game is even supposed to be. Unreal probably would have been better for their single player space game. But their kitchen sink space mmo? Man I dunno.

It's great. Also, I would once again like to point out that CO₂ sublimates at -79°C at normal atmospheric pressure. Below that, you're breathing dry ice.

Star Citizens, they hate Battlefield and COD, they call them 'copy/paste clones', they would never stoop so low as to ever been seen glancing at either. Star Citizens, they believe that CInotG blatantly copy/pasting the Battlefield formula and quickly knocking up their own version but without the expertise to make it good, is a "huge win" for them and will revitalise SC somehow. How are they so incredibly unaware and unintelligent?

CIG is massively incompetent. "BDSSE" is bullshit but there are tons of engines that can do most of the things SC needs to. They're just incompetent as hell. But "cutting edge game" is never going to be possible in "off the shelf engine". Those two things just don't jive. Doing one means not doing the other, inherently.

Wait, isn't the "telescope" actually a sextant? I only ask because I have a late 18th century example under my desk as I type.

That's a sextant, not a telescope. Also I find it kind of amusing that someone would actually be manufacturing a modern "scifi" sextant in SC's future. Wouldn't anyone interested in owning one of these as a decorative piece want an actual vintage brass piece instead of that? It's a minor point but it's a pretty weird decision. Edit: gently caress, beaten

Tippis posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RsWnAUVWQY&t=54s That’s really cool. Also there was this guy on JRE podcast that crossed Antarctica on cross country skis, pulling a sled with all his food and gear that was really interesting. They had to calculate how much food and fuel he could pull on the sled and budget it out for the approximate number of days it would take. I think his daily caloric requirements were something like 10k calories. There were times he’d actually have to layer down because his body would generate too much heat and sweat, which you don’t want to happen in that environment.

gently caress me that last comment, LMBO. And I'm saying that as someone who once pulled over 32 hours on a weekend to help save a fileserver cluster which had corrupted backups by writing a C++ program to try and salvage what was possible.

So much pressure to finish stuff on time...for an indeterminate release date. That's just terrible management. Anyone else get the feeling that Theatres of War was put in because Calder is forcing Chris to make something, anything that might be complete and make some money?

LOL I do love a good nautical almanac - but yeah, my esteem for the likes of Cook and his contemporaries is only topped by my admiration for the Great Navigator himself High Grand Admiral of the Fleet and Bar Crobbers, hand steady on the tiller of the good ship Clod Umpirium as he charts his erratic course through unknown waters in search of the best drat sinking ship ever.
