Cool cool Yesterday the clear plastic bag mask was ripped off. Turns out it was Old Mister Crobear all along... Elite is bad, people who enjoy Elite are bad, Elite's ships are bad, Elite forums are bad, its game loops are bad, SRVs are bad, its PVE/PVP is bad, its networking is bad, Elite's game design is bad. Because if Elite is bad, it means Store Citizer is... good.

(just cos Titanic has been here from the start is only why I'm asking, not trying to set up a joke or nothing...  )

Say one thing for Star Citizens, they have legitimately done a lot for configuring high-end flight sim gear. I used a lot of their guides when building a Joystick Gremlin based system to get around some of Elite's archaic DX input issues. edit: from just after I moved in to a new apartment last year. It's too bad Elite Odyssey killed my interest in the game.

A VKB and Virgil combo are about as close as you can get. I’m not joking when I say that the deep pockets of Citizens has been great for the joystick market in general. My new setup feels like a massive upgrade coming from a Thrustmaster Warthog.

marumaru posted:i honestly dont know of any real games that have consistent gamebreaking bugs that require you to memorize all the possible ways your session can be ended by a bug When I first tried Star Citizen (2019? 2020? somewhere in there) I ended up broke because of the stupid cost on expedited insurance. Sure, I don't have to use the expedite feature, but when my ship constantly gets hosed due to game bugs, it's annoying to be forced to wait around for your ship. You still have to with the expedite feature, but at least it's shorter. The ways I remember my ship blowing up or me needing to get it back:
After all this I was out of money from not wanting to wait 10min between bugs to try again and decided to uninstall. Complete waste of time.

I could see this. Persistent hangars are coming soon and CIG has been continuously showing off their work on planetary habitats. I could see them combining those two features. TheAgent posted:
They've been very slow with the rebalancing effort. Weapons are still homogeneous across type and 3.16 finally added shield class differentiation. They still have to balance individual weapons and balance shield archtype. They haven't even touched power plants and coolers yet (because they are utterly worthless and there is no meaning to them at this point). I don't expect them to touch ship performance balance for a while yet. TheAgent posted:
It SEEMS to still be on track for end of year or early next year, and just giving an increase in tick rate will be a big deal for people who actually play the game. Nothing works in Star Citizen as it is supposed to because the server tick rate is so low. Enemy AI can't hit you or fight well. Desyncs happen all the time. Everything is just a mess because the server can't handle the load. If it can raise tick rates to a reasonable level, the game will play very differently for people. TheAgent posted:
Probably why it's been delayed over and over and over again, lol. Nobody tell Reddit, they won't be able to handle it.

Mellow_ posted:When I first tried Star Citizen (2019? 2020? somewhere in there) I ended up broke because of the stupid cost on expedited insurance. Expedited insurance costs are so inconsequential nowadays so that is good. It costs probably around 5000 aUEC on average to expedite a ship and a 3 minute bounty mission can earn you 15k - 20k aUEC. Spend 30-45 minutes asteroid mining and earn 300k. It can be very easy to earn money in-game. The main problem right now is that there isn't much balance between the different types of jobs. Some tasks have crazy high payouts so you are relegated to only doing those jobs if you want to earn money.

TheAgent posted:hello (and holy fuckin poo poo) Yay! My thoughts: Dune the movie part 1 came out and people liked it and there is probably a part 2 coming... so it's time the sandworm Chris invented from the annals of his very own imagination come out again! I hope we can see some sq404. Mostly I hope people get it. I hope it is like a huge experience of like 1 or 2 missions that take 45m to complete. Did some other game recently make like crewman nfts or something? I guess selling ai "crew" like nfts to people so they can buy them in the game is logical so they can grift on nfts without being called out for making nfts. And maybe people can get their anime big titty navigator little sister character in their ship and they csn collect all of them to make a whole sister harem. I'm confident this piece will be made super creepy if it comes out. Glad crafting is coming. This is another one of those big "intro to game design" things people love to do when they do their survival game mechanics tutorials... so it's pretty logical for all our full sail buddies to jump to this next. Also, I hate crafting in a game and it makes almost no sense at all in a game trying to be "realistic" because in reality nobody rubs sticks and rocks together and makes a pickaxe. Unless you are like those YouTube guys who live in a forest making the underground Taj Mahal complete with a slide and swimming pool. Those guys should take over development of star citizen and you'd probably get something done.

Kosumo posted:Lol, that is over 8 years old and as no relation to the current game yet many backers brought multiple accounts just for that! So back in the day I believe this was coined as "agent smithing" if I recall. Players were encouraged to buy a variety of characters so they and their friends could interact in a variety of ways. When you log off your character could also keep going without you, basically. This concept slowly ran into problems though as people started to question what happens if you die, or what happens to your ship if you log out, or how it would work in general. All questions that cig never directly answered of course so people just got more crazy about it until it ultimately faded away into obscurity like the repair system where you manually repaired your ship with different kinds of metals and all this materials impacted your ship in some way and how you reinforced weak sections. The other, more player-happy version of agent smithing was your buddy could have some NPCs aboard their ship and you could possess them and play as those NPCs without fear of losing your main. Overall though, the concept people wanted with it was they'd have their king guy aboard their main ship, and then play their alts with other packages to do other things in what, they dreamed, their massive fleet. All their mini-me characters would go around and do stuff to enrich their main player who remained safe aboard the bridge of their super chariot that was nigh impenetrable. All this stuff changed and morphed over like multiple years, basically from one time where CR talked about the agent smith concept. Hope this helps I don't know.

Its too much effort to fix it, and too much effort to start again so they are well and truly goat hosed.

And maybe TheAgent will be told about the raucous, all-day-all-night party the CIG staffers are throwing to celebrate that. (But I think Chris won't be able to resist pulling a Lord British when he leaves, and will write an open letter to point out that he was only ever a creative consultant, he had no responsibility or involvement in the company beyond being an Ideas Guy.)
