Hell, even today we have stuff like NFC where you just put two things next to eachother to activate some code. So you could have compartments that open when the owners hand reaches for them, even today.
Of course, that would require you to know such technology exists, Chris is probably still shocked that there is a "mobile" phone.

CIG wanted to recreate Millenium Falcon, backers paid for recreated Millenium Falcon. It doesn't matter if it's resource drain, nonsensical, outdated and it won't ever serve stated purpose. All that matters is backers can pretend they're Han Solos (minus everything except physical space of recreated MF that made him Han Solo)

Yes, I think this is someone doing a bit akin to Sacha Baron Cohen getting people at a right-wing rally to sing along to lyrics about chopping up people "like the Saudis do".

I'd consider it a success since no one questioned him buying ships for a child that is not his own that he was cuckolded into paying child support for. The commandos of r/starcitizen are still singing along.

We have to keep in mind that those will be 8 years in game too and the next elected stimperor might pass a law that will see all elevator panels redesigned and the poor devs have to start over.

Actually the current elevators sound a bit like the stimpire already.

Transformation - a man's romance! Its exactly what SC is lacking! posted:

Honestly, I really want to know...how many backer like me who want CIG add more transformation ships? (like a fulled transformation one)

Kore and Khartu-al are really nice, but the transformation feel useless and would love to see transforming can give certain traits.

I always felt that star citizen lacks the ability to transform. I don't mean they become robot or something (which i would LOVE to see as well)

but most ships lacks the ability to have a transformation. Mole's folding up was really interesting to me. I really want to see more like that.

For example: A captial ship where a S12 gun is hidden inside a transformable hull. When the gun finish charging, the captian can initial a transformation to open the hull to reveal the S12 large rail gun.

(yes like space ship yamato)

Another example would be retractable bridge, I really want to see the bridge retract downward in a combat and have the ability to extend outward when out of combat.

Another example would be luxury ship that can deploy armors around it for origin.

How about spaceship that have vehicle ability? A space ship that turn into a vehicle with wheels. We have that in real world, why can't the future have that?


Of course, i am very welcome any robot transformation as well like the titan suit can become a mini fighter.

What is everyone's opinion on transformable ships?

PS: I think i am posting this in the wrong place. I am sure the mod can remove it or move it.

I haven't gotten around to confirming those claims but people wouldn't just lie about video game development.

I think the field of flowers citizen is getting their action canceled at the end because they're not quiiiite in the right position as far as the server is concerned. Coupled with their difficulties accessing the right controls while standing...it looks to me like both issues are caused by them landing on a slightly angled surface. Almost like the entire mechanic was built and tested in a totally level testing hangar, where it worked fine....

This is true!

But even with that there's still no point to it. Like was mentioned, going out on your space grassy knoll with your space sniper rifle I guess is cool for a Screenshot, but there's nothing there. You're just walking around a procedural field of high fidelity textures and such.

Meanwhile there is very little to do in the game itself, still a single system, and it's very buggy.

This is that whole "focus" problem but I didn't make $330M off of art so CIG is the pro here.

Yes, one of many issues.

But having your art team make another animation on your ship is pretty simple. But then you gotta get the programmers to put it in and that takes time, and it's probably hacked in code usable only at that singular area.

These things add up, and yes, the flight model continues to be terrible, but hey, now you have a cute fidelity door with guns on it people can open and do nothing with but it looks cool.

Fixing the flight model is hard and long, and ultimately all these little shiny things along the way look better and it looks like progress.

If it's hard, it seems to get ignored. Hopefully all the little things added in will overshadow all the big broken major components.
