Also jared was in theater. He broke his neck a bit which is why his doesn't appear to work.

You gotta find SOMETHING for the artists to do when the gameplay is too broken to add anything.

I'm sure the pace will pick up once he graduates high school and has that much more free time to work on the game.

given the resolution on the head and detail on it vs the body: yes

(also imported things for the head were much lower poly)

Random flashback of prior ‘planning session’ fruits from 2016.

Where CIG talks about puking animations, police stations with handcuffing animations, etc.

A week or two prior, Jake said they were about to bring salvaging mechanics into the game. And improvements to the party system.

Why the gently caress are there bags of coffee on top of the machine? That part is directly on top of the pressure vessel. It gets hot. You put cups there to warm them up.

Why is everything dumb with SC. Why.

It's because I don't understand coffee development, isn't it :(

Making a tiny dashboard ornament that has the same level of detail as your billion-poly full player character model is a power move

Especially when your game touts realism and you can add a massive acceleration/ combat maneuvers hazard to your ship's console.

It looks more detailed than that, actually. It's got super smooth edges around everything so it looks like a molded plastic thingy... I'd love to know the polycount on that thing.

Guess we'll find out eventually, when they add "reveal bobblehead polycount" on the roadmap for patch 4.7!

They don't have one because the very mention of the abbreviation 'LOD' sends them off foaming at the mouth and raging about DS. :)

I disagree with your assertion that The Expanse has done more for sci-fi than Star Citizen. Star Citizen is defining sci-fi for decades. I've yet to meet someone that watches that show but run into Citizens all the time. Someone break down the numbers for me and show me otherwise.

@Pretty Good Gaming sorry, maybe I mis spoke, nonetheless what I was trying to convey is that at it's current trajectory, star citizen will make the expanse no more than fan fiction high art. Besides, with old and emerging media platforms eventually converging, star citizen is better positioned to make a much larger impact on the genre. Sorry for the TED talk.

Ok what I mean to say is, hypothetically if they actually develop a cohesive plan and vision than Star Citizen in theory will be on the path to becoming the greatest Sci Fi work of art ever conceived.

Possibly.

I once worked in an office tower that had an entire floor dedicated to a shell company, only one employee worked there and she sprung for a 20k espresso machine despite only working there three times a month.

Maybe, and I'm just guessing here, but maybe — and some additional data would certainly be helpful — but just maybe


…they're a bunch of idiots?


Oh, and lest we forget: the whole “they're not sending any data” excuse relies on the statements coming from a company that make such bad code that it accidentally turns on web cams without their realising it — what are the odds that said company makes such bad code that it also sends caputred camera data without their realising it?

I know we don't actually play the game or read the sub or really engage in any way with Star Citizen around here anymore, but what's the deal with the Carrack hype? The fans are making GBS threads themselves over this thing not being out 7 days into the month. But to the best of my knowledge the new ship doesn't actually... do anything, right? It's just another exploration ship with no mechanics?

Citizens are so weird. Ships at this point are basically multiple-hundred-dollar skins for the quantum drive that you use to go from empty, meaningless landing pad to empty, meaningless planets. It's like if the whole team fortress community started collectively pounding the table and demanding that valve release the next hat, or something. Who loving cares?
