I also remember talking about this just the other day! I'm like the cig whisperer! Big focus on art, animation, and movies. Everything else is hugely secondary or even further down the list. So you have pretty good running and climbing animations, and then you have to rely on programmers to make the ship movements look good... and it all falls to pieces. CR respects and wants artists far more than he values programmers and it kind of shows... everywhere! Layer in that code!

If "decently nice" includes the first pilot running to the nose of the ship, teleporting to in front of the cockpit to start the cockpit opening animation, then teleporting back to the nose of the ship.

The Kamchatka dropping off Gurlukovics Soldiers on the Ship in the opening of MGS2 looked better and more realistic than this. 21 years ago.

When you compare a team of genuine talent against a team with virtually no talent, that talent and ability will be obviously visible and differentiating for a very very long time. You can give a true artist Ms paint and a total amateur photoshop and all the tools and plugins available to all of humanity, and the person with Ms paint will still make better art.

Meanwhile if one AAA game has a bit of lag once for 1 person over the course of a month of flawless service, that immediately makes it worse than star citizen and another trash AAA game who sold out to big publishers sucking people dry with micro transactions and nonsense. Nowhere near the perfection of star citizen.

Can't have lag if your server tickrate is 0,5 and everything IS basically lag.  They did it, the sons of bitches did it, they solved the lag problem for every other game!  Just wait till they try negative tickrate, minds will be blown.

My favourite bit in that is that an actually not stupidly unrealistic collection option would be a swarm of collection drones, but they can't implement it because ED did it before them. So magibeam it is.

4th Stimpire Queen posted:Anyone here wants to have their assets sucked by a suction ship? Oh yeah. Pretty sure I saw this in like ratchet and clank. It's fun! Imagine how silly it would look though if a ship were just sitting there and all these silly boxes were flying up at it. That's not very fidelitous.  No. I think what cig should do is lock down each box to a certain wavelength of your tractor beam modulation, and each box has a different modulation frequency. So you need to look at each box, record the 10 digit modulation frequency, then return to your ship (or call it in to your crew person that you of course have working for you), so that your tractor beam can be configured to tow that piece of cargo in. It's security as well so people can't steal your cargo without investigating it first. Then do this for every single box you need to pick up. This is how real life would do it so I don't see why cig should cut corners here and make some ridiculous ratchet and clank "suction vacuum" which is utterly non-fidelitous.

It literally is just no-clip but w/ some velocity control added. Doing a 180 and hovering upside down a few feet from the surface of a planet is entirely possible. Just sitting there hovering upside down forever.

Y'all can't judge the game in this alpha state. If you can't handle it you probably should go buy a ship with a hot tub and soak your problems away and buy another javelin until you forget about it. And... you don't understand game development. And... how many space games have you personally made at this level of fidelity never done before? And... this has never been done before too so... there!

The rain of boxes along the ship is pretty cool, if the engine can handle it and they can pull this out. However, that kind of piracy is too extreme for the whales, so we know there will be many soothing words in the AMA to assure whale "investments" are protected

I think he's on to something... Security checks should add at least 45 minutes of queue to the "getting into a spaceship" gameplay, and filling out a detailed incident report when you reclaim a ship that takes minimum 2 working days to be processed (hope you're logged in when the Space Insurance Customer Service Agent calls you on spectrum to discuss something that's not fully clear in your report, otherwise it goes back to the bottom of the pile until you answer their message, resetting the 2-day counter) would also make all spaceflight events so much more meaningful! Let's be honest, in this AAAAAAAAA space dogfighting game, space flight should be an exceptional event, most players only doing it once or twice per thousand or so hours of play-time.

Realistic ramp delays as the comm gear in the tower breaks, they run out of deice juice, crew turnover thresholds are hit. Sorry commando, time for a changing of the guard, and a thirty minute departure setback. Immersive! Just hope the next crew didn't get stuck t-posing on the train unless you're looking for added realism today.

I don't get why they are so mad. Surely in the fidelitous BDSSE they can simply place remotely detonated explosives around all their cargo and press the self destruct button just before their ship goes boom? I mean, that's the whole point of such a fidelitous sandbox isn't it? No shortcuts! No compromises! No cheating!

4th Stimpire Queen posted:In case you were wondering yep, citizens are still whining about pirates, including a call for "piracy boycott". Imagine having to come to terms where your real life simulator started to be more like a video game, and more like the thing you thought you wanted. Blowing up a ship to get some amount of its cargo is a pretty staple expectation in a space game. It's kind of foundational in any game where cargo is part of the game loop. I think the biggest problem with all these things trying to make a fun game is that cig has killed all the fun by making everything cost money, everything be super tedious to do, and most of it being an uphill battle against the broken game itself so when you do win, it was probably from hours of times where it didn't work. Because of all of that, anything fun that results in "instant gratification and loot" has to be stopped. Take the game out of the game because playing it is so tedious and lengthy that anyone thinking they can sidetrack days and days of work should be stopped. However, even Chris wants to make combat as deadly as cod. And the one game he seems to know about at one time, dark souls, also doesn't allow for much hand holding. Enjoy your dumb "investment" and realize it's just a dumb video game, not a life replacement simulator where fun goes to die (well that's negotiable ).

I kind of hope they all get their wish and once you are a bad guy you can't erase being that bad guy, ever, and everyone knows you are bad. Between all the glitches, lack of understanding of who is an aggressor, and the game itself flagging you for something you can't help... everyone will be bad and have nothing left to lose. That will hopefully mean that you'll be good for about 4 hours of play before something surprising happens and the game denotes you as a bad guy... then you can just play the dumb game. Go blow up ships, etc. nobody will care because you're already a bad guy. Maybe you can have fun once you lose your good guy virginity, and extra points to you if it's because you defended yourself from bad guys or the game made you do it by some broken system or a bug.
