When CIG motion captures the fish, I hope they make sure they are topless so they can be sure to get the proper fin jiggle physics down.

You talk to the exotic animal salesman in microtech and sign up to buy a rare fish. An order goes out for someone to catch the rare fish and they go do that. They go to planet Oceanbase (named after Milligan "Shark" Oceanbase, the general who accidentally discovered the planet. theres also an ocean base that was established there in 2288) and engage in a thrilling minigame in which they try to catch the specific fish (there are no industrial fish hatcheries in the 'verse) once that's done they have another player load the single fish into a cargo ship equipped with aquatic containers and temperature regulation. once back on microtech the fish cargo is manually unloaded and taken to the fish store. the exotic fish store then notifies you but if you take too long they may sell the fish to someone else

Ironically supply chain simulation theoretically exists in ED but in typical Frontier fashion the issue over there is that there is insufficient imagination to figure out what to do with that simulation. Like you absolutely could have a space game where the space trucker layer influenced the combat and political layer. EVE had (has?) a semi functional version of that though it is propped up by EVEs unique player culture. It wouldn't be detailed of course; algorithms would check for things like "metals" or "supplies" as opposed to individual space boxes. That would of course require like, a design, man.

EVE very much has this. In the last war goons were loving with the opposition by cornering the market on ships and components in empire space while also interdicting mining and shipping operations and running market games on resources. They’re not the only ones either. Downstream wars make certain things more expensive for the rest of the game too - welping thousands of ships in null can drive the price of those ships up in hi sec, dozens of jumps away. SC will probably not have this.

Mirificus posted:Chris likes to do things that no-one has done before, he doesn't like shortcut fakery, it's why people accuse him of being a perfectionist. It's a big part of what motivates him. As an example let's consider Render To Texture (RTT). Anyone outside knowing about 'standard' game development would scratch their head and say... It's not like RTT were hugely advertised effects in idTech 4 (Doom 3) and Source (HL2), or anything, being showed off years before the games themselves were actually released.

LASER BEAM DREAM posted:Isn’t RTT how they did all those Breen videos all over the city, or Barney on the security cam? That was pretty neat in 2006 Yes. In those cases, you can always noclip out of the map and find the room where the monitor texture is being recorded with an RTT camera view object. You'll see similar techniques employed for creating cheap mirrors in a lot of simulators: have a second camera pointed backwards and feed that render to the mirror surfaces. This yields slightly weird parallax effects, and also a very 2D look if viewed in VR, since the point of view for those reflections is massively offset from where the “head” of the player is, but again, it's a cheap and easy and very common engine capability, so it gets used anyway — no-one is going to stare at the mirrors enough for it to be really noticeable anyway.

I'm afraid I have become Citizenpilled. After a decade of 'Ah! Well, Nevertheless' in this thread it is clear that Star Citizen's exit strategy was simply to wait for the world to recalibrate to its own level of brazen stupidity, and now that people are buying up jpegs of paperdoll animals for multi-ship prices, it's time to accept the fact that we lost this one and that all these wet, hyperventilating posts dedicated to Unmasking The Lies are just self-satisfied farts that dissipate invisibly in the wind of The Second 1980s before you can even get a good huff on them.
