Space 1999
2000AD
2001 Space Odyssey

To celebrate this, I'd like to mention that In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards.

Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will.

Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect.

However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps.

Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection.

All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever.

Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable.

Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average.

Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule.

Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed.

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

Don't forget topping up the wine glasses in the captain's chamber and de-jizzing the hot tub so m'lady doesn't get spunk up her nose.

There's so much I dislike about this game - the awful world-building, the crappy no clip flight model, the vocal element of the Citizens' Defence Force, the paucity of anything resembling original thought... but I think the faux luxury of the space yachts and the implications that go with it are close to the top.

You clearly don't know Chris Roberts. This is just another game to him. This is nowhere near his magnum opus. This is just Chris fulfilling his near 3 decade long desire to make a simulated universe. We won't know (nor he, I expect) Chris' magnum opus until he dies. He won't be satisfied with Star Citizen nor Squadron 42. Once he shows he can do it, he always tries to top it. To push the envelope.

quote:



quote:

[How] long do you think Star Citizen will exist for?
Given Chris' penchant for being dissatisfied with his work, it will be much shorter than EVE Online. Maybe 10-12 years before he "needs" to make Star Citizen II to fix all the problems of Star Citizen.

quote:

How many years could we have to enjoy the PU once it's completed?

The PU will never be completed. That's been the plan from the start. The only reason Star Citizen will end is due to technology advancing enough to fix the shortcomings of the game.

Honestly I could see Star Citizen being one of first games where the entire team pivots to a sequel before the first game is released.

Like imagine how much more of a gravy train CR could get out of the whales if he announced Star Citizen 2 tomorrow, which will be in a newer, better engine, will integrate server meshing from the start of development, and all of your purchases from SC will carry over into this exciting new game.

The way I predicted that, if it happens, is he'll pull a Richard Garriott.

--- by backing away from the project, and eventually saying he was just like a creative director but has no real input on anything else, and just dropping it in somebody else's lap instead of be the fall guy to have any blame for anything

He'll then be involved with some other project and announce how he's learned many valuable lesson from star citizen and won't make those mistakes again, and the IP will not be star citizen. Might still be trash science fiction but I don't think he'll do star citizen 2.

There's a good chance his next project won't even be a video game. Might be a movie or YouTube series or something.

They made a big mistake with the first attempt, but they learned a lot from it so this new engine will be perfect. Companies around the world will be begging Crobberts to use it! Imagine if you could play Mario Kart, but with each part in the kart faithfully modelled and acting in an accurate physical manner, while your character's limbic and cardiovascular systems aren't faked but really model the muscular spasms you would have taking part in such a race! Well with this new engine you can even go further. Between races you can (must) perform a full tune-up and maintenance routine, change tyres, etc. Including when necessary flying off-planet to find replacement parts which are hidden behind fun quests given in mess halls or seedy / luxury bars by roguish bearded men that you've gained the trust of through some intricate social networking that started with finding your apartment complex's janitor's favorite cereal...

It's called SkyEngine, because there aren't any clouds in space so this time server meshing will work great.
