According to Wikipedia, there has not been a single series of Star Trek types that have run for 10 years. So really Star citizen is showing Star Trek how it's done.

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.

So yes. This is the marketing, and the 1000 YouTube videos, and the 30,000 Twitter posts, and what you are drat sure you sell to people.

In the game though, most cars move sideways, your characters arms keep spinning when you sit in the kart, and sometimes you explode when you are on a straightway for no reason, but everybody knows to push up up down down left right left right a b b a on that road to get around it, but only if your have your third tire at exactly 42.1 psi and the one river in the middle of the track is flowing east. Also every car goes the same speed except for the one being sold that month, which goes 5 miles faster than the rest. Every car also has such realistic physics that the motors are amazingly powerful so it only looks like they are moving like a no-clip model in a 3D viewer, because 8 years ago somebody talked about kart engine physics and now we're on engine physics Tier 0 so it is totally real. :)

If you don't know this you're an idiot and should get out of the game because you obviously don't understand game development. :)

I was looking at the spec chart someone made on the reddit and it looks like my 1060 GTX that runs everything I have at max including ED in VR is going to get ~10 fps in a city in Star Citizen? What the christ have they done? A 3060 RTX which costs about 2 grand will get you upto 30 fps?

It doesn't even look that good.

Yeah I've got a 3070, i7-8700k and 16 GB memory and I'd probably hit the high highs of about 22 FPS even at 1080p. The bottlenecks in my setup would not be the 3070 but actually my slightly old CPU and only have 16 GB of memory, which is somehow plenty for literally every other game that exists at ultra settings with ray tracing.

So... this is the result of using 8K textures on everything, demanding that every object have a million polys for its model, not understand how level of detail works and how you should hide objects not on screen... is a result.

The claim that it's being built for computers for the future is just an excuse for not understanding how to make video games that work within the constraints of technology you have to work with.

This sort of lackadaisical approach is covered across everything they do, where there is heavy CPU usage for AI that ultimately breaks if there are too many users on a server, to terrible net code where they hope some day they internet will be better.

This all boils down to the concept where "technology has failed Chris Roberts," instead of the truth of that where Chris Roberts doesn't understand technology enough to build anything that works within its constraints.

None of these trajectories are best practice ideas for any company, and anybody working there I hope also realizes that no other company is going to be good with them brute forcing non-functional software out the door with the hopes that technology will someday be good enough for your bad ideas and terrible architectural decisions.

I'm not sure... lots of them have died so far? I'm surprised William Shatner is still tooling around really. I think he was actually one of the oldest of them and he's managed to outlive a lot of his fellow actors.
