This is absolutely hilarious. "I want go a bit more bounty hunter", are you kidding me? Just because the 'theme' of a ship is 'bounty hunter' doesn't mean that any bounty hunting becomes possible just because the ship exists. I don't even know how to describe this.

Star Citizen is good again, because CIG is releasing a re-skinned version of the Cutlass. It’s supposed to be for Bounty Hunting? Anyway, I’m sure it will launch with all of its promised gameplay. Hope you have your credit cards ready! 
I think they should have a drake triple threat pack with the black, red and blue in it. I’d buy that up real quick.
Too bad in a few months everyone is gonna forget about this and go back to dissing CIG and saying they never do anything right :/

you know what's even more absurd? the gameplay systems for this one are largely in place. but they won't be integrated, obviously. - the hunter gets a mission for a player with crime level (in) - hunter pew pew shoots the criminal (in) - hunter DISABLED criminal ship, captures the live criminal (not in) - hunter drags criminal into a pod (not in) - criminal instantly spawns in the prison (in? -ish? minor change anyway) - hunter has to deliver the now-fake-npc-criminal in order to get a bounty (not in) so what does cig need to do to make this complete? - let people disable ships instead of just destroying them like an 80s game - let people capture criminals from their disabled ships - make criminals in pods just get TPed to prison - add a new "land at place, remove npc criminal" mission that's literally it. probably two loving weeks of work. won't be out til 2053. buy a cutlass blue.

Fleet Week appears to be BIG NEWS (TM). The expectations are that not only is the Idris finally going to make its debut (following the time it flew over Port Olisar in a cinematic some... four? years ago) in the PU, but the Javelin - an even bigger megaship - will as well: It seems like these are going to be part of some mission (see PTU references to finding the "fleet mission") in the way that the FPS shootout aboard the 890J is a spawned event. I vaguely recall something about CIG talking about a mission that the whole server would have to work together to complete a while ago, and how it could only be spawned once by each individual player, but I can't remember if that was supposed to be this or something else. Either way, it seems like there might be a few issues with the fancy new capital ships:

You were supposed to eventually be able to invite your friends to come hang out in your hangar and make it kind of a home base or whatever, but that never materialized. Anyway, the shop sold weapons and components and a bunch of the little flair items, and they gave everybody a handful of AUEC to get people to buy poo poo. I got... a crab thing? And one of the rovers that you used to be able to spawn in the old Social Module and drive around that would explode instantly on the slightest impact, killing everyone around you.

 :What isn't really considered in this discussion, but is without argument the key factor, is how the scope of Star Citizen should reasonably impact the development timeline. Here are a few facts: 1. Star Citizen is the most complex video game ever conceived. Nothing comes remotely close. 2. Unlike all the other games you mentioned, which were undoubtedly forced to be released before the devs would have liked for that almighty return on investment, Star Citizen is the first large-scale game to be unfettered from condensing, truncating and otherwise shirking features. The customers have spoken, and the resounding message is: make the game you have in your vision, take what time it takes. 3. Much in the same way Star Citizen has demolished every other game crowd sourcing (actually, every other crowd sourcing of ANY kind), it stands to reason that Star Citizen MUST also eclipse the development cycles of other titles. There really is no fair comparison. Yet, nay sayers will try to compare it. It's a skewed, apples v. oranges comparison. 4. For example, let's take a look at TF2. It took 9 years. Considering how ridiculously simplistic it is at its core, considering the limited art assets, etc., you would need to at least quadruple it, for a same-to-same comparison, for Star Citizen. So, 36 years? Just to be a fair comparison. Yeah, what isn't being acknowledged is the actual break-neck speed of progress that we are seeing from the CIG development team. Not only are they doing the most ridiculously complex things ever done in a PC game and stitching it all together seamlessly, they happen to be doing it in a way that every other game developer should sit up and take notice of. It's this rapid pace of progress that makes them more akin to NASA getting us to the moon than Blizzard getting D4 out the door. But confirmation bias is strong in the naysayer community, and they will disregard these facts, clear as crystal, because it challenges their belief that somehow, CIG is taking longer than they should. Interestingly, the first complaints that the game was taking too long came in 2012. They ring just as hollow today as they did back then. ******* Supplemental: :Yeah I think it is a classical example of what's going on with these FUDsters and the faulty opinions, outright lies and dishonesty they regurgitate in this video to keep their echo chamber going are happening constantly where these people congregate. The echo chambering is an exact parallel to flat earthers, anti vaxxers and other conspiracy theorists, something that can't be said for the backers, because, you know, they're in the persistent universe every day and they're seeing the features in the game as they get published.

Curios to see if their digital CitCon they go back to the well and show off the new Pyro system once again (lol at that demo last year where it was implied Pyro was just around the corner). Or do they forget that Pyro is a thing and come up with a new demo for some new grand feature that will never see the light of day?

 It’s amazing that there are still people out there this hopelessly defending this mess. 30 years from now there will probably still be people mailing checks directly to Chris’ retirement home. Dev time really isn’t the issue in and of itself, and stretching the facts to say that GTA 5 took 20 years and a billion dollars to make doesn’t change anything. The issue is that 8 years and 300 million dollars have been spent on exactly what is in the game now, which is about 1% of the content Chris has cumulatively promised, and even that is horribly broken. There is no conceivable path forward from here in which they can ever finish the game. Hell they haven’t even designed the game yet, they’re literally just shoving whatever they can into it to give the illusion of progress while the technical core of it rots. That fact was obvious even years ago, but now you have to be completely deluded to think otherwise, especially after the Calder investment revealed just how close to the edge of insolvency they are. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 19:35 on May 20, 2020 |

When I was a kid I naively bought a copy of Battlecruiser 3000AD, not having heard in advance that it just didn't work at all. I never once got it to run, but it almost didn't matter because it came with this telephone directory sized manual full of in-universe style descriptions of the world and technology and ships and so on. I got far more joy out of my imagination + that book than I suspect I could have ever got out of that jank rear end game, just imagining myself as a swashbuckling spaceship captain exploring the galaxy and sending out boarding parties and becoming the hero of great space battles. That was fine I guess because I was a lonely 14 year old or whatever, and the game cost £5 out of the second-hand bin at Electronic Boutique. Nowadays Star Citizens are doing the same thing but they're all 45 and they cashed in their 401K and their kids' college funds to get the same experience lol

https://support.robertsspaceindustries.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000161747-Troubleshoot-the-RSI-Launcher  Currently, the RSI Launcher does not verify the amount of available and required harddrive space against the drive you select. 3. Delete the USER folder. 4. Fully shutdown your computer. This fully clears any remaining Windows memory cache with incorrect or corrupt information. It's possible you may have multiple Launchers open. By default, the RSI RSI Launcher only minimizes to the system tray when you click X to close.

Derek has a Youtube video somewhere where he plays the more or less fixed version of the game for a few hours. I would call it "technically interesting." I only remember one part, where some subsystem on a ship was malfunctioning and he went through like dozens of menus to find out if the right person was repairing it or something, and finally deep down the rabbit hole it turned out that one of the subsystem components needed a raw material that he didn't have at the time because of 16 other reasons, so he flitted through the menus reassigning raw material delivery to get the thing to the thing near the thing so the subsystem came back up. It worked but JFC I can't imagine anyone but the person who built it figuring any of it out. It's amazing that SC has captured the audience that probably would have eaten that poo poo up had it been made by literally any other developer.
