crazy eyes mustafa posted:How does 3 pilots for one ship work- one person controls movement on each axis? Presumably there is enough to do that these are intended to be human players, simultaneously not so complex that AI can't do a competent job of it? One pilot drinks wine while barking orders to the actual pilot. The third pilot cleans the toilets

Beluga Snail posted:Oh man I've been after the source for that layering quote for years...if anyone in the thread has it I'd be so grateful that you can all come join my shard when the game launches and mop the floors of my pocket carrier. Happy to dig some more but the best I can find at the moment: 10 For the Chairman - Episode 44 Question: "What, in your words, has been the hardest part of making your vision of the game a reality?" Chris: '[...] The hard part creatively is infusing my feeling/idea/vision of the game across a large team. Since we've been backed to a level that we weren't expecting originally, we've been able to do a lot more of what I'd imagined might happen down the track sooner [...]'

Zazz Razzamatazz posted:Remember folks- R&D happens after you've already started building the thing. Have they really started though? They've mashed some Crytek engine built in physics together to make a rough proof of concept. The actual development is yet to start and will take a few more decades.

Trillhouse posted:i get a perverse enjoyment out of reading all the rhetorical tricks and passive voice CIG uses when describing something they're working on. talking out of both sides of his mouth. "i'm not promising anything but i'm also NOT not promising anything." haha, also "what i said yesterday i did in fact NOT say". its really helpful to have a fanbase that cheerishes these tactics like in a good ol abusive relationship. consodering this new multiple shard approach i think a buzzword is missing, hopefully they will deliver that asap.

My favourite quote is from Erin Roberts, remember him?quote:So with the next big release a lot of the underlying game is there and then we can look at transferring people between servers so we can have hundreds of thousands of people maybe in one instance, but that doesn’t come online until later. A statement obviously designed to have the faithful let their imaginations and wallets run wild. This was February 2017. https://wccftech.com/star-citizen-exclusive-interview-erin-roberts/

The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Star Citizen was meant to have thousands of players interacting with each other in real time through server meshing. Star Citizen was always meant to have 50 player instances or shards with players not interacting with each other. Also this awkward thing:  Tony Z talks as fast as he does because he perceives time at half the rate we do

And if you had multiple accounts you could control your non-active accounts as NPCs! I bet that made them money to have Chris Roberts's 'not' wife Sandi Gardiner, to have time to play with real Hollywood actors while Chris Roberts pretends to be a director. It's totally in the patch after next though I promise* *No more promise's, so this promise does not count. I absolve myself of all of them. I AM CHRIS ROBERTS!!!!!

So does the "lose items on death" extend to ships or just personal things? Also couldn't you use it to clone items indefinately with one guy just hoovering up the items and the second guy reseting his account over and over?

Shouldn’t we otherwise have seen the quanta simulation by now? 50% of his output is saying "ya'know", you know. where is the quanta uninverse simulation? well it might already be online ya'know, but maybe it's not yet online ya'know. it depends if the fans are asking for it or forgetting about it. if the fans praise it, then its already online. if they ask when it will be implemented, then it will be tier-zero. and so on.

quanta is the least tangible thing to come up with and can be verbalized as the most ground breaking tech in existence I mean to me who is anything but a tech engineer sees this as a simple Excel spreadsheet with randomizing variables plugged into the economy port it makes me giggle tho thinking that Tony z has conned the conman into a pivotal role in the company in a brass position but ultimately his skill set is equivalent to that of an accountant

Has Chris Roberts ever played an MMO or had anything to do with one? Cause it does seem pretty fitting that someone whose never touched an MMO would look at the concept of shards/servers and be like "That's stupid, they should just put all the players together" without ever considering that there might be technical reasons that MMOs do that.
