: Wow! The anti-CIG trolls really pounced on your blog. As a gamer and long-time Star Citizen follower, I apologize. It comes with the territory -- if you're going to post about this game you have to expect the minority of people who still think it's a scam to be extremely vocal and mobilize like this.
: Not sure why people have such a visceral hate for this game. You'd think the developers had physically attacked some of the people commenting here.

Popete posted:Star Citizen is like a lovely knock off of Warhammer 40k. Everything is centered around war, even the golf carts have guns on them. The civilian version of ships are loaded with military grade hardware, but it's all got a gross veneer or corporatism layered over it. CIG isn't clever enough to make this work as an interesting or unique setting it's just a mash up of every other sci-fi world. Space Texas. Although in Texas there are signs everywhere telling you ti keep your gun in your car. Space libertarian is kind played out, it’s one of the ‘hidden’ messages in The Expanse.

ggangensis posted:In Ion Storms defense, they made Deus Ex and even if Daikatana wasn't a good game (it would be at least solid without that sidekick AI, though), they didn't scam millions out of Doom and Quake fans and eventually released it. CIG is in its own league when it comes to toying with idiots and sell the impossible. Also, they have yet to release a single game. There also was Anachronox. It was a pretty decent RPG with a unique story and a lot of humor packed in.

Alpha 3.9.1d PTU https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/190048/thread/star-citizen-alpha-3-9-1d-ptu-5242171-patch-notes  Known IssuesOutposts on Hurston with a trading console available do not see landed ships. The multiTool from the prison commissary does not come equipped with an OreBit mining attachment. If the player exits to menu/disconnects/crashes during the  prison load screen transition their load-out will not be changed.Ships can be displayed in an "unknown" state, unclaimable and irretrievable. Extra, static trains can appear at various major ports. Its possible for players to get into a state where they are unable to connect to global chat. Feature Updates Ships and Vehicles Lowered the tinting on the canopy window on the Cutlass Blue. Updated the glow texture for police lights on the Cutlass Blue. Made the interior Cutlass Blue windows opaque. Removed searchlight from the Cutlass Blue Turret. Bug Fixes The Door to the Habitation / Cockpit Area in the Drake Cutlass Series should no longer constantly Open and Close when the Player is stands near it. Both side airlock doors on the Cutlass Blue should now have the correct, matching texture. Authorized Execution Warrant missions from Hurston should no longer award the player with a Homicide crimestat. Players should no longer get stuck in the recruitment center chairs outside the Fleet Week expo hall. Loading screens confirmed

Voter turnout in the US is something like 45% or something. People don't give a hot, gay gently caress about politics when they actually matter. Who did they envision was going to be breathlessly frigging themselves off while reading a news report about journalists who don't exist talking about politicians who don't exist and events that never happened to promote a game that doesn't exist and will never happen? What's the God drat point of any of this??

Kosumo posted:Posting on page 777 and not paying no tax to the Stimpire! The Sickening And Heartbreaking Truths Of The Fourth Stimpire In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards. Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will. Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect. However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps. Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection. All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever. Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed. Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable. Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average. Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule. Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed. The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

Sarsapariller posted:Not gonna lie I would absolutely use that skin if it was available It's me, the turrets on every fighter that are as big as a house. If a turret is on a super performing fighter, then that means there's no performance penalty for turrets? If there's no performance penalty then why doesn't literally everything just only have turrets? If everything is turrets then why even have a ship look like a plane? If things that don't look like planes and perform just as well in atmo (Herald) then why make anything look like anything? This loving game universe makes no sense. It's WW2 in space but it doesn't respect one of the basic parts of WW2 which is that the weight from turrets makes your fighters crap, that's why there was only one fighter (IIRC) that was deployed by the Allies with a turret (Bolton Paul Defiant) and it was total crap.

Sarsapariller posted:Not gonna lie I would absolutely use that skin if it was available Technically speaking, I think it would be a good idea - you have some positions for space, which serve to make you a minimal target, you have some positions for various planets, based on atmosphere thickness. But we both know in SC none of this is used and it's just "because it's cool"

UnknownTarget posted:It's me, the turrets on every fighter that are as big as a house. And then there's the ship that has remote turrets that you can control via some sort of VR setup, which begs the question of if that tech exists why would you ever make a turret that had to actually have a human in it? It'd have to be larger to accommodate the gunner, it's a weak point hanging a crew member out like that when they could be shooting from the safety of the interior of the ship, and you have to actually run to each turret (which might take a bit in a Starfarer) rather than remote control them.

Hunger mechanics, changing you clothes in boring way, long commutes, all of this is the definition of ankle deep. There is nothing deep about these systems, they are just things tacked on. A food system is deep when it has different buffs, and you have cooking mechanics and skills and poo poo. Going to a loving vendor and using it to fill your hunger meter is completely shallow. gently caress.

Mirificus posted:https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/17593-Empire-Report-Final-Five-Imperator-Candidates It was physically impossible for me to read all of that lmao. The only thing I came away with is that there's a dude named "Colt LeGrande" which like... lmao. It's actually kind of impressive how the combination of really poorly thought-out base storylines plus the need to be continuously updating the lore over the never-ending development (not because they actually need to, but because they think it keeps their players engaged) has combined to create this weird shambling monstrosity. Their lore is bad, it's really, really loving bad. But the constant drive to create an evolving story while their players are waiting for the game to make it feel like it's actually a 'living breathing universe' is what makes it unbearable. All these reams of text to establish some kind of backstory, and none of it sticks. It's like an egg sliding out of a teflon pan, but they keep adding more and more eggs. Consider, for comparison, the sum of the lore that new players experience for WoW, one of the most insanely lore-heavy games I've ever played. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5WpW_FFX6I Kosumo posted:Agreed - now post the Kayak
