text editor posted:What does he get for his slavish devotion this this farce. This guy tweets north of 10 times daily with nothing but exuberant praise and apologism for this tech-demo-at-best. Who has that kind of energy to dump into anything. His concern for the NPS score is exemplary. His ability to mislead is also astonishing. But this misleading nature is kind of the point of the whole "game".

Chris' conception of space is WWII military but star wars so... But the fire was already out when the space bulldozer started pushing the fighter overboard.

Has anyone talked about how dumb the offset cannon in the turrent of the space tonk is? It wasn't as noticeable in the pictures, but now that it is in the game it really stands out. Off-setting the gun like that results in an un-equal distribution of forces in the turret when fired. Which is bad. There is a reason every tank in the world (AFAIK), ever, had the gun centerline.

Can't wait for some epic tonk battle footage, just like when they released the AA missile vehicle and we got tons of cool battles with ships being shot down.

Realism is only important in terms of "our fake vehicles have 4K PBR textures that look like real materials" and that's the extent to where realism dies in Star Citizen.

I guess you can see videos of the realism in the last few pages where the tank is falling around like a weightless doorstop and the "fly around" where some random ship acts like a model viewer camera for the new carrier thing and well... it moves exactly like a camera in a model viewer. Realism is in the dreams of Twitter posters where they tell people they can walk around inside the big ship; but you actually can't. But if lies are reality then it all makes sense?

Since there are no actual enemy vehicles on the ground, or enemy ships flying around in atmospheres, the one thing that all of these vehicles seem good for is loading into the cargo bay or landing pad of the ships that can carry them in order to give them an extra-big turret. Which I'll admit is kind of a cool use of emergent game mechanics, except that none of it is supported by the game as a whole and the whole thing probably takes 1+ hour to set up for a 30 second payoff.

And relies on a cooperative enemy to sit there waiting for you to get setup and shoot them, which Citizens are very good at! It's kind of telling the lack of screenshots of the Nova Tank on Reddit and Spectrum, I think even Citizens are fairly underwhelmed by how lovely it is. It's worse than arcade Battlefield vehicles.

It's worse than arcade Battlefield vehicles. Another problem is that Star Citizen's despawn system means that you can't reliably run around a server, get out of your ship, spawn your own vehicle and load it. Any time you leave your ship there's a chance that it will just immediately disappear- and that goes up exponentially if you spawn a second vehicle while nobody is occupying your first one. You pretty much have to run around with two people in order to load vehicles onto ships, and well... most Citizens don't have that kind of social circle.

"At one point, one of the company’s senior graphics engineers was ordered by Roberts to spend months, through several iterations, getting the visual effects of the ship shields just right. In addition, workers have had to spend weeks on end making demos so that Cloud Imperium can keep selling spaceships—and raising more money. " Yeah this is probably one of the reasons why, better get the visual effects of the shields right rather than work on that new planet, system, astroid.

" Fun addendum: since this was 2019, all of that graphic engineer's work on shields was thrown away in the last couple months as they rolled out the new color changing shields based on signed distance field maths.

Which is bad. There is a reason every tank in the world (AFAIK), ever, had the gun centerline. The tank has an anti-recoil thruster that perfectly counters the gun's forces. As a matter of fact it is so strong that the tank could hover in place if it wanted. No, you can't see it, it's invisible but so are all the antigrav thrusters the ships have to stimulate the noclip flight model and I don't see you bitching about those.

The Hercules C2 and M2 are the best example of ship design from CIG yet, hear me out. posted:I've been a backer since 2013 and I regularly follow development.

I'm guessing the full sail grads can't fix the enormous blue square right at the beginning of the explosion because i've seen that several times now in other videos. Meanwhile  is complaining the bartender needs more jackets. well actually it's completely normal for a shield grid to collapse into a square plane before dissipating because of complex physics with the Lesnick Drive and Sandium hull plating and the gravity goo.

lobsterminator posted:I think CIG should fix those ramps. They should sell access to their code, as I would happily buy to see how hosed up the ramp coord/physics reference frame swapping is from inside ships to outside. I would assume most games would have a static local coord point to reference everything else against. SC looks like it has coord scales within coord scales within coord scales, all spinning around in real time and being recalculated constantly. So out of boundary clipping is a bitch to track down and fix as its the entire structure doing it and not a single thing. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 23:56 on May 10, 2021 |
