COLISION PROBLEMS (TELEPORTATION) WITH DEAD PLAYERS

I always love how the reaction on Reddit and Spectrum is never “why does the game have the same horrible bugs and jank after 8 years?”, instead it’s always “oh CIG you lovable scamps here’s more money!”.

Some guy on the BBC Click program posted:

Star Citizen is important because it's a Chris Roberts game. Chris Roberts started out with the Wing Commander franchise in the 90's [...] so much he's the George Lucas of space games

Is that meant to be a compliment, considering the original Star Wars film was saved in the editing room by people other than George Lucas and then the subsequent two films weren't even directed by him? Or is it just hyperbole by someone who knows nothing about what he's talking about?

The world may never know.

If you think about it, it's really the perfect Star Citizen statement.

I wont fully believe it's the end until after it happens, what with CIG somehow continuing to jump the General Lee over increasingly wide gorges every year since 2012. But yeah it definitely does seem like a much more pessimistic year than usual.

Yeah, and yet but for the Calders, they’d be downsized like crazy by now. Given all the other signals, it feels like they downsized anyway.

The BBC piece said absolutely nothing that they hadn’t already said in longer form years ago, even while they all but pretended they hadn’t already covered the story in greater depth before. The real mystery then is “what prompted this?” A piece like this started with phone calls between friendlies. It’s sure not because “can you believe people pay $7000 for spaceships?” because that story was old in 2015.

I haven't watched the BBC piece yet. I know we all expected it to be a fluff piece but it's a bit of a bummer that we were right.

It’s fluffier than can be believed. The only thing noteworthy is that they featured Rex as the paradigmatic whale, which he’s anything but. The old guard streamers would’ve surely appreciated the free publicity, but CIG gave it to the one streamer they paid to fly overseas and comped room and board for. Might as well get their money’s worth out if it, I guess.

At least there was a dev explanation for that train that teleported into orbit. Collision with surprise ship physics grid meant it adopted a position relative to it.

What the hell's going on with tping commandos though? Like, the sitting on bar stool ones I guess I could imagine layman's reasons for. The mid QT ones, yeah ok.

But teabagging?

Did they conjoin at the balls just as the commando's silcon soul entered the big wankpod in the sky, transporting ball boy to some 64-squirrel-bit distance relative to him? What happen?

I wonder if it might be related to the teleport-train. Maybe when teabagee respawned teabager's location got mapped to the physics grid where teabagee respawned? Actually, given how stupidly SC has been done and how weirdly glitchy weapons, attachments, and body parts act, maybe players are their own physics grid.

Also god drat that video was cringy.

It's simpler : the teabagged had his pvp slider to the minimum.

That is no just a softball. That is a "1 meter diameter ball hanging static from a thread in front of your bat at mid chest level" kind of softball. Or a paid for piece. Your pick.

Ugh, the BBC and their level of 'investigation' is just laughable.

quote:

BBC: "So Chris, why is it taking so long?"

CR: "I think RDR2 took a long time and there's armchair developers."

BBC: "Well that's good enough for us, thanks. Case closed, lets pack it up Dr Watson, onwards we go to the suicide case of the man who shot himself in the head 9 times before butchering himself and depositing his own parts around London!"

They seriously need to look up the word "investigation", learn its meaning, and actually do one.

the state the project is in it would be a bit of a risk to use anybody else. they needed 100% shill 100% of the time. the old guard streamers might not have soured on the dream but they have soured on cig. I bet at this point all of them feel massively let down by chris. why risk it when they have rex?

So a punch does about the same damage as a starships laser cannon, sweet. That seems balanced.

It's punching v0. Don't worry. It won't be nearly this dangerous once punch-subsumption, server-side-punch-streaming, and punch-armor have been implemented. Right now they're just putting the pieces in without any thought towards game design, as you typically do when building giant projects. They'll swing back and balance it later, won't take more than a day.

Wait, punching is free and it can hurt my 300 dollar spaceship? CHRIS
