Why CIG is more comfortable falsely reporting that ships are nearly hangar ready for months on end. The Herald was ready to rock and roll last October, the Starfarer was 1-2 months away last June. Now the Starfarer is once again coyly circling the "oh man it's almost done" crowd despite being a month past due with no reason to believe it's anywhere near complete.

CIG knows that the fallout from saying something will be released for weeks and then moving on to selling the next piece of concept art is a way to plug the gaps and suggest progress and pay a light price. The Cutlass shitstorm would be a drop of rain riding on a summer's breeze compared to the whale fallout that would accompany them actually pulling the trigger on something like the BMM.

The next major feature is always three months away.
The game is always a year and a half from release.

e; actually I'm pretty sure the only ships CIG has managed to produce that haven't been observed as a pile of poo poo or incomplete have been the Aurora and the Gladius/Gladiator duo by whatever truly gifted F42 team that put them together.

Kinda difficult to justify, given it looks like it's stuff relating to Wing Commander and nothing to do with Lesnick's actual job. Looks like he's using his paid time at CIG to catalogue stuff for his WC fansite. Does anyone in this company even understand what professionalism is?

Wow, that's some real misrepresentation in addition to the seat thing. I guess I can kind of understand these guys day dreaming and thinking about their $150 space ship based on that first image. Like ok that sounds cool and it will be full of fun and whimsy. Then you get this poo poo and it looks like a Mechwarrior 2 cockpit out of it? I can't believe people apologize for this.

Jared: Now one of the additions to 2.2 is the Xi'ian Scout...In this weeks 10 for the developers, revealed that the ship has morphed from a two-seater to a one-seater....

Lesnick: Yes, that's a big discussion on the forums right now, and we've looked into why that happened and how to make it not happen again, um....basically, and this is what we figured out in the last 24 hours, several months ago a tech-producer, I'm not going to name any names because he's not a jerk,

Jared [whispers]: Justin Chambers

Lesnick : Yes it was all Justin Chambers fault...no, no a tech-producer looked at the Xi'ian scout and said...you've all seen the early concept model with the two seats...one of our tech-producers looked into it and said "this won't work because you can't have a ship where one person is blocked in...this is a problem with the [Gladiator] right now and they're refactoring that...So essentially it was a design no-no to have one person blocked in and there response was ok, remove this extra-seat...it didn't function or anything at this point...where the process fell down is that was not really communicated it was put into our internal confluence which is what went to the tech set-up team, but it did not propogate to design or community so um, that's how that happened, it's kind of like when uh...you remember that probe that NASA sent it was the Mars probe where they mixed up miles and kilometers so, it was an honest mistake but unfortunate so, we're gonna look at a way to have a second seat its not necessarily something we can promise because it is a tech-blocker and its not something that is scheduled.

2.2e Patch Notes

quote:

Star Systems:
Fixed an issue that was preventing characters from picking up the Klaus & Werner ATT4 energy rifle at the end of the PI Wanted mission.

Game Systems:
Fix for Gilly remaining stationary at the end of Chapter 4, preventing transition into Chapter 5 of the Tutorial. Criminals at Level 5 Wanted will not see the option to Quantum Travel to Port Olisar.

Ships:
Fixed an issue where the Sabre would lose a wing after being summoned to Port Olisar.

First Person:
Fixed an issue where the LH-86 Ballistic Pistol would not be completely picked up by your character. Fix for everyone on the server getting an Klaus & Werner ATT4 energy rifle.

Technical:
Fixed a number of client crashes.

looks like they're wrapping up on this wave. Hopefully 2.3 can live up to the havoc this one caused. They're promising a Starfarer so that should be fun, whether it comes out or not.

It's also a great example of their long term problem - none of that was new money. It was the quickest, simplest way they could make an extra ~$20 off people who already owned a basic package, hopefully thus putting them on the path to whalehood.

you could put a whole lot of games in the top slot of a steam chart vs line of defense and end up looking pretty much the same.

the amusing thing is that shitizens are now defining down what they expect out of SC to be "competitive with Derek Smart's Line of Defense" rather than the top line. :mmmhmm:
