I wrote this up for the June 16th scheduled update. I can't wait for the hilarity that is going to be the June 23rd update.

======================

So the latest 3.0 schedule is out. Here is a diff between previous and current versions.

The fact that the "aim date" still remains July 27, 2017, even as things are delayed, removed (TBD), means that they're probably going to ship 3.0 with some items removed, while pushing them either into 3.0x or 3.1 etc. It's like 2.0 all over again. Also, Gamescom 2017 is coming up in Aug, and CitizenCon 2017 is Oct 27th. Both in Germany. So either way, there is going to be some version of a 3.0 build at one of these two events (fundraising!).

HIGHLIGHTS


Never forget the original promise:



So in a nutshell:

Clothes
Weapons
A refactored menu
Some graphics

No npc mission guy? No planet CryEngine map with the CryEngine jeep settings.xml tweaked to feel like the Mass Effect Mako?

Heck I figured for sure they'd have that at least. The NPC plays animation 2 and sound clip 2.wav (randomly chosen between maybe 3 possibilities when you click use) and ends with some mission pop up. The planet just loads a new level after maybe a landing animation. That's literally like the bare bones "3.0" features people could parade as progress.

Also never expecting network 2.0 to happen. You can't make an MMO out of an arena shooter. Probably not even a 2D top down type arena shooter. And sure as heck not something as complex as even what Star Citizen is right now.

Most MMOs use timers and hotbar actions not because they really really love them, but because that's where communication and the internet is now.

Anybody who think CIG is going to reinvent core level network structures to support twitched based gameplay in a world of 1000's of simultaneous players..... hahaha! :chloe:

If CIG ever end up releasing anything to the public, will the ESRB have to invent a new rating specifically for Star Citizen and SQ42?

I'm here Golden Ticket! I'm inbound from Terra with a hot load of six 1 foot by 1 foot boxes full of dicks I loaded by hand! I may be late though because I am busy breaking the limbs of my passengers to fit them into the bathroom as prisoners!

Also mayday but my movie disk expired for my now broken blade system! I think we're also out of hair and can't make anymore hairy roberts drinks!

Oh no now we're being invaded by a guy mopping and he's stuck in the mopping loop and is invulnerable!

*pause*

Sorry Golden Ticket, my ship just ejected me through the wall and I just watched it fly away with no pilot.

I'm screaming, but the only thing out here to keep me company is the Dune sandworm that keeps zooming by, and my twisted hands that apparently are still glued to my ship.

Absolutely nothing, but at least two 5-second clips of Star Citizen were stuck in somewhere in the middle of some mashup about something from someone! That's good right?! RIGHT?!

They did plenty. They took notes on other games to figure out what to promise to add to the next few updates in order to generate more HYPE (and money).

Well I have quite a bit of info, but 1) there's some that - as usual - I have been asked not to share yet 2) I am no longer pointing out "leavers" due to all the flak it generates. A few days ago, one such leaver surfaced. He made it public in his farewell post, so I shared it.

An E.L.E is a "slow burn" event that ensures the complete and utter destruction of the targeted event.

Nothing. Like, at all. They are saving their strength, resources, and money for GamesCom (Aug) and CitizenCon (Oct). Many believe these to be the last hurrah before the final curtains.

Missing lines, the greens are very generous. For starters how can all the ships "released" so far be in green when more than half of the flight, combat, I-war, avionics and what not systems are either non existent or placeholders?
