to be fair, this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akwVVi6weKQ was posted here years ago and we determined it's using 3x or more than what bf1 uses so technically Star Citizen is already has a player cap of 150 fud lover.

I can't argue with that logic.

Did they answer ther SQ42 question in calling all devs or whatevs

No, it was Papy today with “Star Citizen Live”.

CIG will be rotating their Friday shows in 2020, so next week will be a reboot of “Calling All Devs”.

I still think it’s coming soon.

They start each year by getting the directors together and mapping out the (financial) goals for the year ahead. Yet this year, they already have one dictated to them courtesy of Chris’s “overoptimism”; the Summer Beta for Squadron 42. By this point, even the backers know THE BAD NEWS is coming. Hence the Teaser.

That Christmas Day “gift” was created to serve the exact same function as “The Road to CitizenCon” did in 2016— disarm backer frustrations with their latest Squadron delays. It probably took the edge off because FIDELITY!, but still, it gave no explanations, no sympathetic stories, no proxy backers in a giving them the mantra they’re supposed to accept, “the game will come out when the game comes out.” (Plus, no fictive sand worms to get excited about.)

So a talking head is going to have to do what the teaser could not. They’ll presumably trot Chris or Erin out in the next few weeks to admit to the bad news, give the minimum viable update on Squadron (“hey, it’s another delay!”).

If they don’t do that in the next few weeks, then they’re probably more worried about the downsides with Crytek or Calder than much else. Which would be an especially interesting admission in itself.

Yeah... sorry Baxta but that's... not how you'd do it. There's no reason you'd be sending all that data every tick. And you definitely wouldn't use XML.

I mean SC does things like that but SC is currently max 60 players for a reason, never going to go mmo scale without remaking the server, that's definitely the case. And they don't know how to architect an MMO server so they're hosed. And even as hosed as current SC is they do have "SOCKS" so they're not exactly sending all that info every tick either.

How dare you ruin my quick mafs with real mafs.

Pretty sure Crytek did use XML though.

This is a good point, and I don't even remember the last time CIG made some video about dog fighting. It's all about "guy looks at ship in the distance at sunset" or something. Even the teaser was "ship flies through various things in lighting conditions".

Where the dog fighting at? Does CIG need to get Michael Vick on the team or something?

xml would probably be one of the worst formats for data transmission in a multiplayer game, and no, not even cign't would do that.

Just checked because wife was curious and it sure as heck wasn't 9 years - since 2007 FB is profitable (with 2003 being the "original" start and it's doubtful they even aimed to be profitable back then, that likely changed around 2006).

In other words no one promised you that you could act as Crobbear's publisher.
What do you mean it is right there in the pledge?

Quite frankly, you should be thankful this project exists and allows you to spend thousand of $$ on it.
