His official title for like half a decade at cig was 'Cryengine Evengelest' if that says anything about him

His brother Dan Tracy used to also work there. Both were also involved in a well known Battletech mod for Crysis Wars called Mechwarrior Living Legends and is how they were known and got scooped up by Roberts

And then suddenly, in a fit of wild passion, Kat throws Vasant against the bulkhead of the slowly trudging Constellation. His masterfully suave form hit a button as he scrambled to remove his pants while Kat traced her finger along his lower lip.

"I think we need to find out just how deep we can push your sexual organs that you may have," the lusty Kat, shadowed in the darkness of the obnoxiously large bridge bulkhead uttered breathlessly.

"I want to agree with you, but first I must consult my -" he began but was cut off as she shoved her panties in his mouth, saving the readers from any further harassment. Her flavor spread across his mouth as it watered over the intruder, a small spec of drool clinging to the corner of his mouth.

Kat, clutching her RSI shirt between her hands flares at him through the perfect polygons of her strangely non-feminine hair, one eye sort of twitching a bit as she leaned in close to him after wrapping that shirt behind his neck. Her smaller than average breasts landing on his alien chest, and she murmured into his ear, "Let's just gently caress."

As she touched his organs of unknown nomenclature, both of them were suddenly left behind as their ship no clipped them outside into space. They both floated together for a while until they each had to suicide to reset.

Kat's server disconnected, and she could never connect with Vasant again for at least 500 years. This sexual frustration caused Vasant to grow angry with life. And soon, he figured out how to replace his bones with liquid metal as torture, and began a new civilization on the edge of humanity...

This guy was once a big cheerleader for CIG, right? Wouldn't know it from seeing that performance.

The two wine glasses stood drained at the head of the bed in the 890 Jump. Drained like Wolf Hartman, slayer of worlds, who lay sated atop the satin sheets as Purina Catflap and her twin sister Hillsscience twined themselves around his tightly musculatured form. "Oh Wolf" purred Purina, "I've known many pirates and business magnates such as yourself in a biblical sense, but none have roused me to such heights of passion as what you have". "Ditto" whispered Hillscience as she too confirmed what womankind had known since 2935 AD... when it came to throwing a cape across a puddle or doffing a fedora, Wolf Hartman, mega billionaire that he was, truly was a prince among men.

"You there, Aurora scrub" he commanded, spying a minion lurking in the shadows (lust perhaps on his mind) who had paid considerably less than Wolf Hartman in real term dollars to skip ahead to the good bits in the game. "Take that mop and bucket, swab the decking you space poor, then get out of my sight."

And I guess now they're saying that 2 years ago they subcontracted ToW's development to Firesprite and now it's maybe a third standalone game CIG is concurrently funding alongside Star Citizen and Squadron 404, and the Very Soon of a few years back is now 2+ years in the future, like everything else, but, y'know, Sean Tracy said it was going to be a real thing and that it was going to be fun, and literally nobody else at CIG has ever claimed fun was even an option, so....yeah.

Sarsapariller posted:

It was actually 4 years ago, which makes the whole thing even more hilarious. They only got up on stage and announced ToW after 2 years of subcontractor development which had apparently produced a barely functional battlefield clone, and now it's been 2 more years and it's nowhere near release.

It's good, but honestly a bit too exotic for Star Citizen fan fiction, mostly because the Titanic, unconsciously I guess, can't help but let her sensible woman's perspective seep into the narrative.

I think a Citizen would be much more straightforward about things.


You can fill in the rest I guess.

Kudos to CIG for coming up with three very different experiences. This is how you make procedurally-generated content - other game studios need to take notice!

"Oh, Miles!", she exclaimed breathlessly, taking off his jacket and throwing it aside. "I only have a moment before I need to mix those drinks."

"What, you're going to ditch me for a Hairy Roberts?", Eckhart purred, taking off his jacket and dropping it on the floor. It crumpled and folded in a highly realistic manner.

She pulled him close with one hand, tugging roughly at his jacket with the other, feeling the soft fabric of his jacket underneath. "Hurry, Miles! I need to feel your skin on mine", she purred.

Eckhart shrugged off his jacket. Hungrily, she eyed his one-of-a-kind Shroud of the Avatar leather pants and codpiece.

"Come here, Annabelle!", he growled.

"Please", she said, "Call me 'Boo'!"

She ripped off his jacket.

There are no days in space, and yet somehow time passes much the same. One meandering heartbeat at a time, punctuated by tiny victories like fixing a weld perfectly or finding a tardigrade on your scan. These victories make you forget the slow decay that clutches every living organism. We flourish and die just as the stars do, but in between we live inside of time, even when there is no world around us. No sunrise, no sunset, no weather, no seasons, our heartbeats still thump beautiful forward towards their own demise. So we invent a word, time, to try and meter and describe the sensation of being conscious of the ultimatum we are born into, but never asked for.

It’s not meant to be depressing, Welk just can’t help but consider all these things when wondering why humans call dinner dinner even when they’re in space. It’s not the meal we eat in the nighttime, because there is no nighttime. Perhaps dinner is just a word for “third meal” although humans don’t often eat three meals. In fact they often drink coffee till they complain of bad breath or acidity and then finally eat a first meal, but often after the hours that they should have consumed their second meal.

Oh, Firesprite did Star Marine? Nvm I guess SaltE was just saying star marine shows that a new mode can't be trusted in general. Also I think SaltEMike might finally be going off the deep end, calling his stream "Back to the Scam" and flipping out at the constant desync. Gonna add him and lethality to my hateshipping star citizen fanfic.

Testing Focus

We will be testing different player counts for matches on each day of the weekend starting with Friday at 24 players, Saturday 32, Sunday 40 to assess performance difference (TBC)

Known Issues
Performance and desync issues may still occur
Animus fires in to the floor sometimes even after lock-on
Player may get kicked out of game and need to restart
You may fall through the ship hull when respawning which could require having to respawn
Sometimes the player gets all Soldier loadout options but when spawning the real loadout should spawn in OK

Feature Updates

New Locations… New Possibilities!
The entire map has moved location to greener pastures to accommodate a new 360 approach to combat. Gone away are the times of forced boundaries and the “Playable Area”.
We have redesigned every single phase of Crossroads of Crime to ensure players have multiple avenues and ways to play while still contributing to the objectives at hand.
Now players have the option to approach from any direction and engage the enemy on their terms, whether that be 1000m away at the end of a sniper scope or taking the fight to their very own dropship.

Dropships & The Spawning Revamp
Speaking of dropships, every game begins with you and your teammates clambering into ships and being dropped right next to the combat zone ready to go. On landing, you’ll be greeted with ground vehicles to take the fight to the enemy and setup forward spawns for your team to reinforce as you take those objectives. We've also added in fighter ship spawns that are already in flight ready to engage.

Every vehicle is now a spawnpoint for players to use, from the very dropship that brought you to the zone, to the cyclone you sneakily parked behind enemy lines. In order to see where each of these vehicles are, the spawn screen has had a major revamp to give a bigger view of the battle at hand. It now displays vehicle icons above its in-world position and provides the vehicle’s third person camera, letting you know that the URSA Rover you’re about to spawn into isn’t upside down in a pit.

Player Awareness
We understood that players struggled with knowing what to do in the game. Alongside our VO, players can now find: Notification Messages, Objective Reminders, and Transition Markers. These mean that when the game starts and when a phase changes, players know where to go, what to do and how to do it.

DeathCams have also been added to provide clear info on who killed you, and where they did it from.

Visual Updates
Everything in the map has had a visual upgrade including the planet, updated buildings, new radar dish, and new bridge along with visual updates to all existing locations.

Balance Changes
Player weapon and armor loadouts have been reworked based on previous feedback to ensure both teams classes feel competitive against eachother while maintaining their own pros and cons. Ships are now a mirror matchup to ensure player skill is what truly shines in the skies.
