Thread: 'The Mercury Star Runner has a hidden tunnel system to get around the ship. Why don't city spaceports and space stations have the same system to evade and get around Security Forces?'


Answer: because its not in Star Wars.

Because why the gently caress would you build a spaceport and include a way for criminals to evade your own security measures.

It is the 21st Century. For more than 8 years the Emperor of Griftkind has set immobile on the Golden Throne of Kickstarter. He is the master of grift by the will of the gods and master of a million Caiman Island bank accounts by the might of his inexhaustible whales. He is a drooling moron writhing invisibly with power from a million contractors. He is the Sexy Bear Avatar of the vast collection of Citizens for whom a thousand artists souls are sacrificed every day so that he may never truly go bankrupt.

Yet even in his unbelievably dense state, the Emperor continues His eternal scope creep. Mighty battlefleets cross the screens of Unreal Engine, the only framework robust enough to render them, their progress enabled by the Mocapstronomican, the psychic manifestation of a quarter billion dollars lit on fire. Vast armies do not give battle in His name on uncounted worlds- it is more like 50 guys, on 4 moons. Greatest among His soldiers are the Evocatii, the Super Whales, bio-engineered simps with the wallets of champions. Their comrades in arms are legion: the German Horde and countless floor-mopping plebian scrubs, the ever-vigilant Forum Anti-Defamation League, and the tech-priests of the almighty Spectrum to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat to the grift that someone, somewhere, might consider the whole thing a waste of money- or far worse, worthy of a refund.

To be a Citizen in such times is to be one amongst untold dozens. It is to live in the cruelest and most stupid regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there are only sales. There is no release amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and pledging, and the laughter of thirsting starlets.

:five: :five: :five:

Ten thousand years ago the Spectrum was racked by a terrible civil war called the Refund Heresy. Almost half of the faithful legions of that time turned to facts and rebelled, plunging Reddit into a terrible war from which it has never fully recovered.

Banned, the traitor legions retreated to the something awful where they lurk still, consumed by their hatred of the Imperium. Twisted by continual contact with released games, Goons have become a terrible canker that eats at the heart of the Imperium and they might, one day, have their revenge.

A security gate with guards, metal detectors and cameras. You look to your right in plain sight of everyone there is a 10 foot tall ventilation duct in the wall with busted fan that has a left a human sized gap. It has a conga line of Citizens making their way inside each holding a single 1' x 1' box.

This is fidelity.

I've had an 890 Jump for a while, but never got a lot of use out of it, besides checking it out once in a while and randomly landing somewhere for a bit. Enter my almost 3yo son. He has been showing interest in space ships for a bit so I figured I show him some in Star Citizen. The last one I introduced as 'massive', 'huge', and 'lots of rooms'. That last part struck a cord and we explored the 890 Jump together to find all the rooms. Now, he begs me for looking at more rooms in the 890, he knows there is a kitchen, a steam room with coals and towels, a pool, his own bedroom, a bedroom for his grandparents, and he'll yell 'let's go to the bar!'. The latter thoroughly confused my wife when she overheard us...

So now I spend at least 15-20 minutes every day walking through the 890 Jump with my son, finding towels, soap, shampoo, bottles and bubbles in the aquariums. I feel like I'm slowly getting some of its value back now.

It’s a strange aspect of their bigger ships, given how much they’re hyped and fetishized. You’re never getting a pristine model straight from the factory, you’re always getting a ship that has seemingly been customized and lived in by someone else. Like look at all of the crap that’s placed around the Origin whale yachts.

Death of a spaceman: Funerals posted:

When we finally lose our character to its final death, there should be more than just a transfer of assets to your next of kin character. There should be an amazing funeral scene that reflects on your characters accomplishments, history and reputations.

Remember the scene in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 where Yondu gets a proper Ravager Funeral? That is what I am talking about here.

Depending on your reputations, you would get a different type of funeral. The higher up in rank the bigger the ordeal. Different characters could be shown at attendance of the funeral.

On the one end of the spectrum, If you died early with no rep from anything and no accomplishments, you might just get a lonely scene of a casket going into a crematorium furnace. On the other end either a full Ravager style funeral, or a full honor military funeral with flyovers and 'guest appearances', or a lie in state type funeral with hundreds of AI walking past a casket on display in a prominent building. If you were a big enough honcho, then you should get a systemwide in-game news stream for that character.

I know it is kind of late for such a suggestion. But I think that this not only would be a very cool and memorable cinematic, it would be a necessary closure to the loss of your character.

Will a full blown funeral service be required every time you fall through a floor? Come to think of it, RSI should start selling fancy coffins with real money.

akkristor
Feb 24, 2014

It can't just be a cutscene. That wouldn't be fidelitous enough. The ceremony must happen in-universe before transfer of assets can occur. That way someone else can ram their ship into the process, killing everyone in attendance, forcing another 3-30 ceremonies to occur, which can be attacked in-universe, until everyone is waiting for someone to organize their funeral and no one can respawn.

FIDELITY!

The expansion to the 16-year old MMO World of Warcraft, Shadowlands, has become the fasting selling PC game in history, selling 3.7 million units by its November 23 general release. This is about 166 million dollars of revenue. Of course, these numbers will pale in comparison when Chris Robert's finally releases his glorious magnum opus, Squadrons 54. How many units was CIG targeting according to the TheAgent leaks again? Far less than what will actually be sold, I'm sure.
