There’s a high fidelity hunger and thirst meter that you have to babysit in this action packed space game, and it often kills you randomly because it’s of course horribly broken.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but isn't the current system already composed out of "multiple" systems? Like they have stuff in there that in the "lore" is in other systems, and the only reason it's there is because they hadn't implemented jumping from one system to another yet? Am I remembering this wrong?

Yes, I think one of the space stations should be in another system.

But the same thing could be said about cutting the amount of stuff in one system and just pasting it in another system just so that there is an actual thing to do mechanically thats supposed to be core to the gameplay of SC. And really, jumping 1.0 could just be travelling to a beacon and pressing a button to initiate the jump.

Just look at these lunatics, which in year +9 still don't understand that client framerate is decoupled from server performance. Server meshing, assuming they get it working one day (hint: they won't), is not gonna affect client performance. Seriously, why don't these guys understand game development ?

Thats some heavy FUD right there. Who needs more than 24fps while gaming in 2020? The human eye can only see 12fps, everyone knows that. CIG is masterfully tuning their game to save computing ressources. When that tech is ready, they can easily license it to other companies like CD project or rockstar.

Also they really should get in the monitor producing market, maybe they could cooperate with a smaller producer like EIZO or so, who doesnt want CIG to associated with their products?

There is a whole game mode (Theatres of War) beeing developed that no one asked for that never appeared on the roadmap. It was developed in secrecy for eight months, should have been released early this year, is STILL not on the roadmap, and no one knows whats up with it because no one asked for it.

The roadmap is just smoke and mirrors.

Do you really think Theatres of War was in development for 8 months? An half-rear end FPS component added to... a FPS engine?

The development is the smoke, the backers are the mirrors!

Those numbers are arbitrary anyway, but they announced something along the lines that they're reserving 4.0 (and so on) for update with more content. So, never.

That is how semantic versioning usually works. <major release>.<minor release>.<patch>, it doesn't matter how high any of those numbers get. they don't roll over unless the number to the immediate left is changed.

What constitutes a Major or Minor version can be pretty arbitrary though. From a complete ground-up re-write, to the final small tweaks that puts your app in a releasable state.

For software APIs, you might see something like <breaking changes>.<new features with no breaking changes>.<bug fixes>

But like the poster above me just said, in CIG's case they really seem to just update their major versions whenever ED does.

And dude, for your own good, don't feel so entitled.

:v: Oh, so you thought Concierge means anything?

:shrug: Regardless of title, you'll be treated like every other backer. While I don't agree on all moderation policies, they are pretty drat uniform in their application of it. The idea of "when" has been answered by Zyloh and is the theme of that megathread. *Your* question might be lost, but not the intent... Everyone pissed about that continually is asking when.

:argh: Who the gently caress are you to demand that you be treated or answered something directly, when there's a mega thread about it. They even told you where to post your concerns. Your concierge doesn't make you special at all. I have dropped over 10 grand on this game and I don't think they owe me jack poo poo, I did it because I believe in them, not because I want them to suck my dick when I call.

I dont know. Does it matter? Weather you use hourly or daily should not change the result no?

if it does, then it shows a variance from Benford Numbers themselves, but it's the magnitude of the pool that matters. There's a few deeper numerical analysis that you can do, it's just Benford is _really_ easy compared with running a bunch of quadratics.

I made this three years ago;



And this is your anomaly. Is it enough? No idea, but I should give it another roll unless someone has their bucket counts available.



In fact, I'm dicking around with TensorFlow and numpy more these days, and it might provide a decent training set.

I guess there’s nothing really to talk about, it’s just a glacial drip feed of non-content into a throughly broken pre-alpha.

Their subreddit is pretty dead, the reasonable non-whale backers show up to poo poo on the roadmap updates, but then it just returns to shills, cultists and CIG/Turbulent sock puppet accounts talking about dreams.txt.

Speaking of which, 2/3 of the posts now are screenshots with captions suggesting gameplay that doesn’t exist, all from accounts 6-12 months old that have done nothing but post SC screenshots for their entire lifetime. Yep just a completely organic and vibrant community.

CHARACTER HAUNTED BY FREELANCER COMPONENTS

I know am super reaching here, but reading the title of the problem all I can think of is

CHRIS ROBERTS HAUNTED BY FREELANCER COMPONENTS.

it's the reason why the last game he participated in was ambitious and vast but ultimately shallow, despite it having decent combat and star systems to visit.

I miss playing Freelancer sometimes, it could've been better.

It has always been shite but now it is unrewarding shite. The bugs and overall crappyness are not intentional but the latest patches have been focused on destroying any sort of fun players may have. From spawning a train ride and minutes away from your ship, to prisons, to not allowing you to break surface rocks without the roc, to having all rewards diminished CIG is working hard at stomping on any sort of reward players may get from playing their lovely game.
