Star Fox 64 had both satisfying spaceship combat and satisfying tank combat, so it's clearly the superior game.

Chris is already ten years older than he was when he launched this failure, by now he must be spending all of his "work" hours just flipping through yacht brochures and thinking about summering in Monaco, right? When's his breaking point, what level of absolute unfixable brokenness does Star Citizen have to sink to before he decides to pull a Lord British, cashing out and leaving through the back door with a mumbled "Iwasonlyeveracreativedirectormyworkhereisdone"? And then there's the thought that maybe I'm wrong, maybe the funding does actually start to dry up (or less likely, CIG announces that Star Citizen is officially released), at which point...does anyone seriously think that CIG would keep paying to keep the servers running for more than a year after that? Because I think the blowoff on this grift is going to be shockingly fast. Games that actually exist, that had fewer problems and more players, have completely shut down less than a year after release for worse reasons. But I don't know, any attempt to understand the things that keep Star Citizen lumbering along year after year after year is probably beyond me, and I should probably be thankful for that.

I got you easy answer Ben takes every scrap of paper and hdd he can scrounge it buy from the office fire sale He then opens a kickstarter / gofundme to “preserve the rich history of star citizen” and makes a few million promising to put it all in a museum Or blow it all on chips a hoy cookies until the fire fighters find him entombed ina makeshift shrine to Chris

The tank tracks may be missing the mark, but at least CIG have improved on real life tank design by making their one nice and tall so that it can shoot bad guys over a hill. I understand the US army are queuing up at their door desperate to license this technology.

That post is wild cause based on everything I've heard from people who claim to like this game, the Tedium is what they like about it because that means it's Realistic and Realistic automatically means Good!!!

Hey now, OS/2 was a typical IBM-led goat-rodeo utter failure in the consumer marketplace but the kernel was rock-solid; even the early version 1.3 was so light and stable it ran in ATMs for far longer than you'd expect. As opposed to Shart Citizen, which has the reliability and structural integrity of a defective Ferrero Rocher. SEE HOW I BROUGHT IT BACK TO SHART CITIZEN hah gottem Also has anyone said Shart Citizen yet

From what I've seen there is actually a use for a tank in SC, but only if they add more pvp content that supports it. The basilisk as a ground based anti-air missle platform is quite potent since it has a 15-30km range and ships won't detect it until they're within a couple km. If a ground location is being defended by centurions the best way to deal with them is either bombing them with an A2 or deploying tanks to take them out on the ground. That said there isn't much content in the game currently which would prompt that level of large scale organized ground defense.

There is zero reason for ground combat vehicles except to camp an event node or setup a meaningless battle between 2 orgs. Again anything a tank can do a magical hovering spaceship can do better.

With as ten years of development and with as many devs they have working on it, would you actually expect much of the original engine code to be left? I mean assuming they actually have people working on that and everyone's not just building more ships to sell.

Sure. At no point have they demonstrated any level of competence that would suggest they'd be able to do much with it on that level. Except maybe when they managed to make half the universe not be underwater.

Which one of those anti air platforms was the one , when they released it for play it would fire the missle out and it would either plop out of the tube and fail to go further than 6 feet before exploding . Or it would do a crazy Ivan the entire time and never hit anything

But don't they have a sniper railgun ship that can take tanks out from orbit? Or at the very least, take out whatever the tank was defending?

given that you can take big ships into atmo you can probably just bully the SAM trucks anyway, no tank required. There's a definite scale issue there, a SAM truck balanced against a small ship is hard to balance against a big ship. The game Empyrion had similar issues. Ofc in a sane game the SAM trucks would be NPC only and not $200 citizen chariots.

I mean the size 7 torps can threaten big ships, and with 8 of the size 5s even they can do some damage. I think the size 7s can one shot anything short of a hammerhead or retaliator. As for the real money prices of the ground vehicles, they're insane. They're at most 20% of the price of a ship in in-game currency so you'd be nuts to spent real money on them.

You can discuss how powerful a specific weapon or vehicle is in game and fantasize about how you might use them in a combined arms operation until you actually dig into what would have to happen for a scenario in Star Citizen that would necessitate ground vehicles and as it stands there is none. The only use they have is Rexzilla style player corps agreeing to fight each other at a set time at a set place for fun. Everyone lines up there expensive ships and tanks and SAM vehicles and hopes the server doesn't crash again before they can get started and then they fight and it's a buggy mess and things randomly blow up until one side "wins" and that's then end of it. There is no gain that couldn't be gotten in a far easier manner and no real purpose beyond justifying why you spent 200 real world dollars on a video game tank for a space sim.
