boviscopophobic posted:A comparison of coffee machines: It's cheaper at least, but still loving pointless having an espresso machine like that in an office without someone who knows what they're doing to operate and clean it. Yo cig you could have bought a decent automatic espresso maker for half that and it does a bunch of poo poo itself and shows you how to do all the cleaning and maintanence on the display. They're pretty loving dope. Hire me as your office manager. $117m and five years and it still only works 80% of the time  Justin Tyme posted:Seriously though why isn't cargo in the game Trouble is they promised fideltious cargo mechanics where the actual items would appear in the ship hold and you could move it around with grubby hands. That's a big loving job compared to something like Elite where it's just numbers. Why they haven't just put in a cheap workaround like you say though, who can loving guess. It's not like they're shy about throwing in a quick and dirty alternative (GO TO YOUR ROOM naughty pirate). Perhaps it's just not considered a priority, or they've run into problems getting it to work in Cryengine.

It's going to be so awesome:NowonSA posted:This seems really obvious now that I've thought about Star Citizen* for too long and watched a lot of videos, but I think the game will have a vibrant multiplayer experience, you'll just need to progress far into the game to get to it. We keep hearing about how everyone will be in the same universe, but with so many systems it's incredibly unlikely you'll meet anyone. We also have been told that you'll be nudged toward the core of the galaxy by the game. What if when you get to that core it's comprised of a significantly smaller number of system (say, 100-500) that are generally populated by the factions you've been meeting as you played, or maybe even a new faction or threat to fight against. With so many people heading toward the core as the grand mission of the game, even if the core has a lot of systems it will fairly quickly become the nexus of player interaction. *actually No Man's Sky

Hello Games have repeatedly said the multiplayer is not designed to handle more than a few players at once. It's been likened to Dark Souls or Terraria, where you'll find artifacts or discoveries with player's names but very rarely see anyone actually flying around.

I've decided to try to emulate Annashill's master Livejournalesque "life in a videogame" reportage. Here goes... I awoke in a snowy wasteland yesterday, with little more than the clothes on my back, a sleeping bag and a pack of matches. Soon I was cold and hungry, and needed a place to rest. The wind swirled snow all over, and made it hard to see, but eventually I saw a small dark shape looming out of the white abyss. A hut! The flag flapping in the wind outside told me that the plane I'd been on had crashed on Canada. As I entered the building I hoped and prayed that it's previous occupant had left something behind. Some food maybe? Luck was smiling on me, as my eyes adjusted to the darkness I saw on the counter a box of tea, and various tinned food. Peaches, condensed milk, and Dogfood. My stomach turned for a moment at the thought of eating dogfood, but my instinct for survival took over as I gorged on the meat. With shivering hands I lit the stove and looked around. There was more things left behind, a storm lantern, beds, some books and a sturdy wood axe. I opened one of the books, curled up in one of the warm beds and started reading in the light of the stove. As my eyelids grew too heavy to keep open, there was a distant lupine howl, and the pained cries of a deer being brought to it's end. As I fell to sleep my final thoughts lingered on feasting on venison, but only if I could find something to keep me safe from the things outside with the same idea. -from a real game in a real Alpha

Tokamak posted:Someone spotted a whiteboard with ships on it: Anvil Hurricane and Aegis Terrapin were starter option that lost the vote to the Reliant. The Dragonfly came from the same survey. Anvil F8 Lightning is the elite "end game" ship that someone posted the concept art of a few pages ago. It's been in concept for years and was part of the leaked assets we got from Lando. Origin 85x is the personal craft for the 890. This is the first I have ever heard of the MISC Racer/Rover, Origin 600, or Anvil Eclipse. That's five new ships.

Richard Garriott is so desperate to peddle his POS game, Shroud of Forsaken Garbage, that he's legit selling his own blood for 5,000 dollars to backers. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/game-developer-selling-his-own-blood-on-ebay/1100-6441617/ CR should do this with his sperm, he'd make a killing.

Chin posted:It's been established that Hamill is loyal to a fault but CIG must be paying him a shitload for his management to accept reshoots that overlap with Episode 8 production. This will probably lead to the doubling down of Chris Robert's blackballing from the industry. It is spectacular how much failure a man can put out publicly.

They need new money, they get more ships. Still they are far away from the "dangerous" ships which i don't remember the names of: Carrak, salvage ship, crew ship, etc... because that would mean for them to work of features, which cannot be supported by their engine

Justin Tyme posted:Seriously though why isn't cargo in the game, make a volume that is "cargo" that can dynamically fill using small, medium, and large boxes depending on a widgets' size except the boxes aren't actual representative boxes (not fidelitious I know) and are just extrapolated from how much poo poo you have in your inventory. gently caress loading and unloading nonsense. Make 3 different models of generic crate and task a few guys to knock it out by the end of the month. This is the hilarious part, they have all different size and shape cargo bays that all need loading in different ways, so they can't actually half-rear end it, they need to develop some sort of loading area with crazy animated loading apparatus that is completely different for every one of their 100 ships, and some of the cargo bays block the ability to get in or out of the ship when full because nothing has been properly designed.

Yeah F8 lightning has better stats* than the most popular combat ship the superhornet as it's meant to be the new replacement. *stats obviously subject to change** stats from the website a couple of years ago before they pulled them, I'd assume because they thought they might hurt hornet/superhornet sales  **nothing is real

It's batshit insane even if they could find a way to make it work. Most players would realise manually loading cargo is loving tedious the first time they try it and either never haul again, or click the 'auto load' button and just watch the numbers go up like every space game ever. Typically for star citizen this is poo poo that doesn't make a goddamn bit of sense when you think about it for a nanosecond, yet they've let crobber shoot his mouth off promising grubby hands and hiding in crates, and sold ships based around it.

When the game is released it won't be I'm going to travel around the 'verse in a cargo hauler, convincing Citizens to hide in cargo crates to help me with infiltration missions. Then I'm going to stack crates on top of that using grabby hands so he can't get out, and travel to the next port repeating this until my cargo hold is nothing but hundreds of crates of corpses dead by suffocation. I think this is just a fine a theory-craft/potential gameplay as any Citizen can dream up on the CIG boards.
