I believe the phrase you are looking for is gaslighting. And yes, that is Moma's immediate defense mechanism when confronted with situations just like this. Sorry Moma, but one thing I have learned from playing in this sandbox is that you can bullshit and kick it around, but you have to keep it real with everyone here.

Mega Map (Singleplayer)

Originally moved out of the 2.6.0 goals due to the time required to complete this.
Tests on this feature in our Development branch have been promising, so we are aiming to release the singleplayer aspect of the Mega Map with 2.6.1
Work for this is now Complete
This is now in testing with QA and may require more time for bugfixing

Is the Star Citizen PU supposed to be both multi and single player now? I'm once again confused by MegaMap.

No-one knows, least of all CIG.
MegaMap is just the idea of not having a fixed space that you move around in, but rather that the player is the centre of their respective universe, and everything is loaded in around them at the appropriate pace. Coincidentally, MegaMap, if they used it intelligently, would remove the need for stuff like localised physics and even many of the issues related to instancing. But they're not doing that.

Mega map is simply going to be not having to back out to the main menu or restart the game client everytime you want to switch from the pu to star marine or whatever else

It will be an in game console (I think they used to have this ? ) or other selection screen , maybe even a choice of 3 doors from your hanger ? To give it that real 90s wing commander feel

Not only that, "nested instances" is how they propose to have 1000 people in one place. The "porous instances" was a shot from the hip when asked what happened if someone opened a hole in your hull. Would you be able to see what was happening out there if your ship was so big (>20 people lol) that it needed it's own instance? Even if all of this magic came to life the next question is... what happens when your ship is blown up and you are suddenly dropped in the "parent" instance which is already at the ~20 person limit?

After a while I realized it's better not to ask, it's instances all the way down.

This right here - the bolded part - is why this project is a scam. They never had any idea whatsoever how to build this right from day one.

CIG: SHIPS WILL BE BIG AND HAVE TONS OF PLAYERS LOL.
Backer: How will you handle instance sizes and whatnot with ships so large with so many crew?
CIG: ... UHH ... SHIPS WILL BE THEIR OWN INSTANCES.
Backer: Then how will people in different ships see each other?
CIG: ... THERE ... WE ... WE'RE GOING TO HAVE POROUS INSTANCES THAT COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER
Backer: Can I get a refund now?

There's not a single part of this project that was ever considered, from any angle, at any time. Every question you can ask about "but how is x supposed to work" is a new problem they hadn't planned for, have no answer to, and will lie about by saying they've got it all figured out. In the meantime their "2.6" is a broken piece of poo poo that doesn't deserve to clean the crap out of the portable toilets that Ride to Hell: Retribution drives by on its way to work. And all the while, the most credulous apes in human history are believing every word.

Now lets not be hasty. The road segments in Ride to Hell where "Big rig racing" level of poo poo. 2.6, by itself, is at least a good looking, if very buggy, Crysis mod where you can buy hats.

Full Stop right there. This is where the "Where is your proof goonie?" gets dunked on Vince Carter style. It doesn't matter what weapon you shoot at those chariots with, there is no way to just blow a hole in any ship in this game. Once the shields are gone, they blow the gently caress up. There is no disabling, crippling, (save that EMP bullshit) or breaching the hull in any way. Now I am sure some autist thinks they will use an EMP and then leave his chariot to float over to the other ship and try and open the door to get in, but that really isn't a hull breach now is it? Also what do they think the commando's inside the broken chariot are going to be doing when that guy is floating towards their ship? They are going to be stacked at the only way in.

Don't you remember when they were showing off the pictures of individual damage modeling for each pipe, server rack, and power conduit in ships ?

What you say that was like 2 years ago and they haven't bothered to show anything since?

Well that must mean it's done and they're just waiting to flip the switch

They did show damage modeling, but none of just a hull breach. Just the static bits and pieces of the chariots as they are destroyed. In no way was there a way that demonstrated that the damage states are dynamic in any way.

Saying ED is bad will somehow make SC good

Also comparing against it is good. Because it's like 3 or 4 years old now, with 2 delivered DLC and a 3rd on the way.

It's really neck and neck with which one is better. Maybe people will still be playing it in the far future when SC is released? Though I think there are a few indie SC-like games itching to fill that void first.

But yes, the more Elite suck Los the closer SC is to reality. So if you compare it to say, Sopwith Camel, Star Citizen is real close to being the best game ever made.

Just lower the bar until Star Citizen is awesome. Also everybody who tried to own Derek over the Internet also helps SC be closer to completion.

I will have you know good sir that I have not refunded my starter package and am no filthy leaver. As long as I have that, I can talk all of the poo poo I want to from the position of a backer. What I am really hoping for is that they force refund me like they did with Derek. Maybe then Senpai will notice me.
