If I remember rightly they paid to be able to send a bunch of questions in to Croberts, rather than talk to him live. He had no idea that he was going to be edited together with the question asker in that way.

Kings need not raise their voices to be heard

quote:



You have to be careful when quoting Jared, he trolls certain members of the community on purpose.

Sataball is in Squadron 42. We already know it.

Look closely at the mobiGlas screens they have shown for Squadron 42 for the last 2 years the Sataball tournament has been mentioned on all of them. I also know they've done a lot of expensive mocap and audio capture for it. Team names, team member names, sports presenter play by play commentary. Will the players be able to play it? Don't know, but the players will certainly be able to watch Sataball matches. Someone went to the trouble of writing whole voice acted narrative scripts for it, more than once. Jared doesn't like leaks, unfortunately he caused one of the biggest collection of leaks and he can't control Chris's propensity for dropping big hints. "You'll be fighting creatures in Squadron 42".

If you listen to the 2018 vertical slice mission with directors commentary you'll hear Chris say they removed sections of that period in the game (while you're aboard the Stanton) to avoid spoilers and to keep the video length down to an hour, he's a master of understatement!

"Squadron 42 is feature complete" - and one of those features is mentioned by name on the players mobiGlas screen in the promotional video - SBPL. They check and re-check everything for spoilers, if it's there plain as day to read it's because they intended it to be there.

I think the funniest part about this is that he's replying to a post regarding a developer's comment about how you shouldn't take everything said in the past as gospel because the game has changed since that point. To quote the dev,

quote:

It is super easy to forget WHEN they were written as this disregards that the game has moved on since then. I often get quoted on things that were said years ago (old IFCS docs come to mind)... they are treated as the ultimate authority in discussions whereas they are just a momentary record of development at that specific time.

... And then Monocle Cat does that exact thing the dev warns not to do.

But if he did what the devs warned him not to do, he wouldn't have anything to post any more since it would undermine every single facet, component, or basis of anything he has ever dreamed up… :ohdear:

It occurs to me Monocle Cat is basically a chatbot AI that's been trained on nothing but Star Citizen developer's statements. He'll repeat everything he's heard ever as true no matter how much has changed in the meantime, because to him, it's all the same.

In related news, The Day Before is showing how hard it is to follow exactly in the Crobbler's footsteps, tipping their hand far too early and ruining the illusion.

The reaction to that would of course be a massive wall of :shepspends: posts from ex-commandos begging him to make that game and open up a kickstarter already. And to ensure the community doesn't fail the vision this time, it should be priced well above SC which was too affordable, leading to its downfall due to entitled low-thousands backers.

of course they all have exit plans prepared, they've only had 10+ years to work on them

Chris has a patreon all ready to go, and backers would probably be good for $10k/month in exchange for a few lovely hand drawn space ship jpegs , for the next few years at least to make sure he doesn't have to give up his porsche

some of the other cronies would do patreon as well

and the rest would do an onlyfans i guess, your guess is as good as mine on who that might be

ATTORNEY AT LAW
Justice is bald, like an eagle, or Lady Liberty's docket.

I work at a 3D printing company and we got an inquiry about printing a bunch of ships from this game. They sent files in that were absolutely awful looking - basically like someone had taken the game assets, ripped them out of the game, and shrink-wrapped them to make them manifold solids that would be printable. The end result is that they looked partially melted.

I warned the client that these files weren’t very good and that they weren’t likely to produce what he wanted in terms of quality if I printed them, and he proceeded to tell me all about how he spent a lot of money on having someone prepare these files for him, which was a lol because of course a Citizen gets fleeced. When I started giving him ballpark numbers for cost for printing based on the size of the models, assuming they weren’t half-melted-looking, he immediately panicked and started telling me about how money was super tight right now. He wanted to negotiate, like, a six month payment plan for these 3D prints. Obviously we told him no, because we’re not his credit card company, but the whole interaction felt deeply indicative of the type of guy still propping this shitshow up.

Back in October we also produced a number of Star Citizen trophies for some kind of dogfighting event at CitizenCon and the design they brought us was really ugly. Some e-sports company was trying to get in on the ground floor of competitive play for this game and I just couldn’t imagine how completely not fun that must be.

In summary, lol

I believe this company (JRDF) is officially approved by CIG to make 3d models of their ships/vehicles. They are hilariously expensive and look like crap. They send you the unpainetd straight off the 3d printer pieces and you have to cut away all the printer supports.
