Gravity_Storm posted:Star Citizen is more like the Grumman X-29 program except if they'd crowdfunded it ?? X-29 was rad as hell. Quite unlike SC they made a practical test bed to explore specific things like extreme fwd sweep on a wing and went on to be the first supersonic aircraft with that type of wing. It used the entire front end of an F5 (cockpit/landing gear etc) and the landing gear and a bunch of poo poo from F-16. It conducted a successful test regime of hundreds of flights over and advanced aeronautical engineering and flight control systems and composite structure understanding in a bunch of ways. It didn't prove to allow greater maneuverability from it's purposely unstable design but it answered that and a lot of other questions. I fail to see how they two are remotely similar, it was a viable and worthy addition to the family of X-planes that each added their own bits knowledge to specific corner case regimes of flight. The data generated from this program is responsible for the advancement of aviation as a whole. It was never intended as a production aircraft, same as any other X-Planes they are all research machines that inform future aircraft production and other industries too. What am I missing here? %20Timeline%201984%20-%20X-29%20-%20NASA%20Image%201984%20copy.jpg)

Ew kitty no Nah, SC is Su-57 in terms of aircrafts. Delays in development, "crowdfunded" by other countries untill they pulled out, it has or had poor engine and for an alleged stealth fighter, it isn't very stealthy.

My X-29 was 1/72 scale but I liked the way it looked enough that I almost scratch built (only a single Hasagawa 1/72 kit existed at the time) a 1/48 version kitbashing the same planes Grumman did! My Valkyrie was like 1/100 scale which always kinda pissed me off since it was so out of scale with all my other models but it was a big rear end plane and that was the coolest model I could afford at the time. I always wanted a proper model of it though cause it does look pretty god drat bitchin

quote:Pyro was teased more than a year ago and instead of adding it, they removed one existing planet... but sure. This I still find baffling... I thought CIG would squeeze that in in 2020, even if Pyro would just be a mostly empty system with one generic moon and some of their copy/pasted POIs. Have it be a separate 50-player server instance and hide the transition with the warp tunnel animation. BAM... tick the "multiple star systems" checkbox, queue the citizen victory laps. But no... let's hype some lame Xenothreat event as the big end of year thing. What, it's so broken you have to cancel it? ooops

Have it be a separate 50-player server instance and hide the transition with the warp tunnel animation. You say that as if you believed CIG could possibly manage to transfer players between servers. Imagine 2 commandos on one chariot, one of them is sitting in pilot's chair pressing jump button, while other commando is drinking from bottle rammed halfway through his head. Can CIG transfer this to another server without one of the commandos losing his shoes and dying from heat, or chariot falling to pieces?

That's easy, the commando who pressed the jump button goes to the Pyro system (maybe with the bottle now attached to his gun), all other commandos on the ship get a 30k. Call it tier0 jump mechanics and release it.

They must have the most incredible tools known to the world by this point. 10 straight years of tool development. I think this is where we're all missing the true genius of Chris Roberts. On July 23rd, 2021 every employee will gather around Chris as he sits at a computer for the first time in 8 years. A hush will fall over the crowd as Chris remembers how to use a mouse and keyboard. Gasps are heard as he manages to open The One Tool to Rule Them All He hovers the cursor over the one enormous button in the center of the screen and then he clicks it, <GENERATE GAME>

Terra and Sol as two different systems? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I realize that our system is Sol, but Terra has been in use as a name for Earth since the 1400s. EDIT: Oh, it's intentionally stupid. quote:Terra is the only system in the United Earth Empire that is named after the capital planet, rather that the star (Terra Nova) at its center. And, of course, the planet is Terra III, so it's the third planet from the star. JackSplater fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Jan 27, 2021 |

Why do all systems have some invented names when I'm pretty sure all those stars already have some designations? I guess they knew that Vega is a star... but then there's Orion, but that's a name of constellation, not star. Then there's Caliban, Pallas, Oberon or Charon which are all names of objects in solar system. Lack of creativity? Centauri is what? It seems someone had a faint idea that there is a star called something Centauri. But Centaurus is name of a constellation and stars in that constellation are named [something] Centauri, like Alpha, Beta, Proxima or R Centauri. Which one is it? Why are almost all Vanduul systems starting with V?
