Tell them your core values for developing a webpage is to make highly detailed css and perfectly fit together graphics and you just figure the code behind it will just kind of organically happen because of all your great ideas.

You'll probably start as a lead.

It always amazes me how Star Citizen's designed are so cluttered and greebly, but at the same time lifeless and bland. Even a few minutes after looking at this ship JPG, I can't even remember any details other than a vague "spikey-cyber-bug-bird-thing" impression.

So for all your future hopefuls looking to join the ranks of cig, there's a few very important tops I want to share with you from my 30 years of being CEO of all companies and CTO of the other ones in other countries:

1: You are either an animator

2: Or you are the guy making graphics

I'm going to help you out with #2 here because that number is higher than 1.

Come up with an idea for some ships to sell.

1: The space lizard race. Their ships have scale armor and are long. Extra points for a tail that wiggles as it flies.

2: Space cats. These guys have shops shaped like circles and claws on them. Extra points if you say "like that one thing... you know... the one Larry Niven invented!" With CR in the room.

3: space fish. These guys are easily enslaved, and ask their ships are like fish shapes.

4: Space hermit crabs. Just say like the reapers from mass effect.

5: Space alternate humans. These guys fly flying saucers with big engines on the side. Kind of like that one show some peels know about only totally your original idea.

6: Space robots. All their ships are like computer circuit boards and are all kinds of basic shapes but nothing to spiky

7: Space dogs. These ships are kind of fluffy and love to fetch above their weight, but are super loyal in a fight and their bellies all have to have paw print marks on them to signify their "good boy/girl" ranking.

8: Space cows. These are slow ships and love to sell meats and are traders mostly. They have large udders under them where they hide their power plants and can be easily dispatched

9: Space dragons. These guys are kind of bad, and all their ships look very penetrating. But they come in all kinds of shapes and colors but they do need to be long and bulbous without wings. All are single engine and some pilots boast about "taking them down to the knot".

10: Space Anubis. These guys are like dis except not. All their ships are black with gold greebles. Very sharp and pointy except the cockpit which are rounder looking.

11: Space grasshoppers. These are all green ships and have big single jump engines that need to recharge after a few seconds. They have a very slow top speed, but they move around via this engine jump system that lets them go far distances very quickly between brief recharges.

12: Space cowboys. These guys love the verse and wearing brown jackets. They come built in with their own fan base and all their ships need to be scrappy and multi crew with some kind of weird piece that rotates.

I reckon it would be funny to have on your CV that you worked at CIG, because every job you went for after that may want to hear what a car crash it was.

If I was doing the hiring, it would absolutely be the reason I would call someone to come in for an interview. I don't know that I would actually hire them, but god, I would want to ask them so many questions.

"You win by having fun"
I wonder what they’ll break instead if they ever fix this

CHARACTER HAUNTED BY FREELANCER COMPONENTS

quote:

ACTUAL RESULT

A jumble of freelancer components appeared in front of me. These seem to include seats, missiles, shield/quantum drive, coolers, and the rear entry ramp. It's hard to tell. These components appear to be visible to all players on the server, not just me. I lost my character model as well. Respawning puts me in a bed surrounded by additional (or similar) freelancer components, particularly the rear ramp. Leaving bed causes me to clip through the floor and die.


EXPECTED RESULT

Missiles are equipped to your freelancer

For some reason this made me think of A Christmas Carol...


“You are fettered," said Scrooge, trembling. "Tell me why?"
"I wear the chain I forged in life," replied the Commando. "I made it pledge by pledge, and stretch goal by stretch goal; I parped it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I spent it.”

At this point I'm amazed bugs like this happen and the game doesn't crash. I've seen this before with incorrect usage of try/catch stuff where devs wrap sections of code, and it just leads to these odd bugs. From a debugging perspective crashes are preferable.

Russian organized crime has been in the moneylaundering-via-RMT game since I started playing EVE Online in 2008. Star Citizen is practically custom-made for their needs. I mean. We're basically saying it is, here, right? It is.

@CIG_ChadMcKinney
This is a combination of issues that can happen when the spawn queue is full on the server, usually because of a sudden large influx of spawns because of a streaming event. In our main branch we just introduced parallel spawns which should help this issue, and further down the line we're going to go further and introduce a better prioritization scheme for situations like this where a particular spawn has a short latency requirement.
