the waking up animation isnt realistic at all

it should take the commando several hours to muster the energy to get out of bed

And it should look something like this

So on the off chance that Squadron 42 is released and comes to consoles would anyone here pick it up? I mean I do like some of the actors in it and I have more Microsoft points than I know what to do with so it's not like it would cost me anything.

For me, it would be a Duke Nukem Forever scenario, just a finally to see the product that has been forced to release no matter what the state of it is.

So somebody buy 1.035.000,00 UEC UAC for aporixmately 1.000 USD.

DON'T BUY UEC (self.starcitizen)

Hello all,

In the last few months, I have spent some time at home and I have been buying UEC, for when the new 3.10 update comes out, I could start my character with the UEC that I have purchased!!

( BTW I already bought �1.035.000,00 UEC = a lot of money )

as a normal person went to ask the concierge for help, that it took 5 days to get!!!

"here's the answer given by the concierge"

- Hello @@@@@@

Please note, RSI Support staff do not have a way to do a "full" or "complete" reset. We have access to the same reset tool that players have been given access to. If a reset has not corrected the issue, please be patient as our teams work on a more permanent fix.

Support is not able to replace or restore any aUEC at this time while we're testing long-term persistence and our back-end systems. All aUEC accrued through pledges will be available when the game is released, though[
!

He cannot use UAC, but it is not a problem because once SC is released all purchased UAC will be available for his account.

This even better then selling land claims

I'd go for something like: "Soon though, crazy frustrations," simply because "vented frustrations" doesn't tie-in together smoothly.

Still, though: :five:

It has been a full two weeks since lying Tyler promised a roadmap to the roadmap. Step 1 (give an explanation of the goals of our new Roadmap and what to expect from it) remains unfulfilled. Tyler said the roadmap would be delivered in the "immediate future." Back in March, he promised regular updates, and these were announced to be implemented "with immediate effect." Still nothing.

Lets face it, the developers probably want waterfalls at some point in the future. Just came across this:

First thing I thought of was planets in SC with high windspeeds and how this would make sense. Yes yes I know SC has 1000 other problems to deal with first but...

Mirificus: Oct 29, 2004; Kings need not raise their voices to be heard

quote:

All the devs "in defense" here have a completely different tone though. At least in my experience.

Those attacking are usually pretty absolute in their language. "The project is obviously so far behind because we haven't seen XYZ" type stuff.

Those defending are usually more loose with what they're saying. "No, XYZ is probably in earlier stages, or not suitable for multiplayer servers, like some other stuff shown on SCL".

This nuance is what you are missing from your argument here. Absolutism based on hatred we know exists vs actually looking at a problem and applying Occam's Razor tempered with their experience.

To go along with the theme, I'm a former Game Dev (only 3 years) turned Embedded Systems Engineer. Changed cause the industry is poo poo behind the scenes.

They're still trying to find a way to lie to the backers without lying to the investors. They can't tell the backers "we're almost there guys!" without the investors saying "I heard you say you're almost there, is that true?". Right now it's time for Operation: Kick the Can Down the Road

So just out of curiosity but what does snowboarding and Star Citizen even have in common? Can you actually snow board? As trademark infringing as it was, at least their star kitten nonsense was actually space-based.

If I had to guess, Chris maybe stumbled across Ring of Elysium one night and decided their space ship game needed Battle Royale on skis and snowboards.
