SC attracts all sorts.

In this snuff movie a citizen enjoys an armistice zone bug by killing immortal NPCs for 8 minutes

"If you'll excuse me, my dinner time is six o'clock. Only gangsters eat at 9 o'clock, after some bootlegging and a hot game of craps."

I'm working on starting my own business and the process of figuring out the logistics, supply chain, working out costs and pricing, and talking to suppliers has become an ongoing nightmarish chore. And these people want to do all that, not for actual real money, but in a space game where they could be flying around shooting lasers and having space adventures.

Rotten Red Rod posted:

Depending on who you ask, it's vitally important and worth paying a premium for, or a "nice to have" that doesn't matter much but is a tiny, tiny benefit for hardcore backers, so it's ok that not everyone can get it.

The reality is that no one knows what it actually means, much less the devs, so at some point they'll have to decide exactly what they made people pay for and create it, and inevitably no one will be be happy with what it is.

Or, alternatively, they'll keep kicking the can down the road forever and people will keep paying for whatever they believe LTI is in their heads.

The alternative seems to be you buy a ship, have no insurance, and it gets blown up you lose it permanently.

That will cause a great disturbance amongst the paying rubes.

So no idea what LTI or insurance is supposed to mean, but probably it will result in some kind of timer being longer or shorter because CIG likes timers.

LTI exists because "insurance" exists in EVE. LTI is basically the shorthand version of Star Citizen as a whole. It's a completely undefined concept that allows backers to freely extrapolate what it could be based on their knowledge of actual existing games. Same goes for mining, bounty hunting, salvage - all that poo poo. They don't exist in Star Citizen, nor have they even begun to design them in any way. But other games have versions of those things, so backers just copy/paste that knowledge onto the empty Star Citizen template and begin theorycrafting.

That's what Star Citizen is. A template for dreams.txt that backers fill with other games. It's like a new form of passive plagiarism.

Obviously the best thing here would be if after this happens, the guy goes into a "dying" state and can be resurrected for at least 24 hours, where he has to wait for a doctor to help him. If he makes it, his character can resurrect with some kind of deformity.

If he doesn't make it and 24 hours goes by, his "resurrection" count goes down by one more and he is recreated as his next of kin. Once the resurrect timer runs out everything he's earned is just gone and he has the opportunity to start a fresh character with nothing. :)

Clearly the game is in a perfect state where starting on crippling injury and permanent aftermath results is the next big priority. Get on it! :)

If those poll numbers aren't made up, which CIG would never have a history of doing, then the smallest total number of votes compatible with those percentages (assuming correct rounding) is 2750, with the candidates receiving 247, 372, 390, 492, and 1249 votes respectively. (The total number of votes could well be larger -- this only shows that 2750 is the most pessimistic possible "honest" scenario.)

wasnt LTI basically a cheatcode they handed to the early supporters?
the mindset of early backers was to get LTI and thus be invincible when they open the floodgates and the plebs arrive.
who were supposed to arrive because this would be the game to end all games.
which never happened.

LTI has never been defined, to my knowlege.

They don't have death mechanics.
Not "They don't have death mechanics in the game yet"
but They don't know how death is going to work yet, even on paper.

The value of LTI cannot be known until we know what not having LTI means.

Or even just regular development.. the notes from the 2.0 patch for Squadrons is solid af and pretty much addresses most of what the community had been clamoring about. This is on the heels of the patch a few weeks back that fixed the VR fps issues among other things that they didn't even bother to do a writeup of let alone trumpeting it citizen style.

https://old.reddit.com/r/StarWarsSquadrons/comments/jnzb9a/update_20_release_notes/

What a stark contrast to the threadbare negative progress patches of sc that at best deliver some broken poo poo no one asked for or wanted while punting 5 year old game breaking bugs and inventing new ones. Just buy a loving Idris already is what I'm saying.

It's just amazing that people just jump to dreams instead of thinking logically, would adding this into my spaceship game make it better? how can any of this mesh in? if i love minnig so much why dont i just go and play mining simulator? would mining simulator be better if i could clip through the floor or be ganked at any point for my megar wealth ?
