Yes, it has a party system, I think they're just called squads. And I get the joke of the Stimpire (imagining the king being carried out by gimps and all that) but can someone link to the post/org that started it all?

Also, no you wouldn't cause in 5 years someone would make the game for real and you would switch over... our would you sadly click your rad mouse in SC on a huge USE symbol and watch 15 hours of getting in and out of bed animations while girls in bikinis played Star Citizen 2 in the dorm next door?

How many people can i expect to be fighting with? you need to convince me please Will there be scripted events between warring factions, pirate interactions. I heard Chris talk about setting it up so that the players are driving the content bit how does that work with 16 players. I think he mentioned 80/20 npc/PC ratio but I was rushing through this thread at the same time as listening. It's easy for players to drive the economy if there is a crafting system. Are players designing or building weapons and armor for spaceships like they did in SW:Galaxies? Fuzzy Modem posted:I don't really care about any of this silly conspiracy theory bullshit. I really just wanted to talk about playing Star Citizen with my rad new mouse. I like indie films so when I get back to my computer I'm going to read more about your project but from a cursory look it seems like you already have a lot of good looking pre-vis and a clear script to follow and a few assets already set in stone. From my perspective you are in a better position to deliver an interesting and fun product than Chris Roberts.

If anything, I wanted to check out any traditional art drawing forums (I had read there was something along those lines) for critiques and stuff since I'm trying to get back into drawing. By the way, I just wanted to say I saw your Mechwarrior picture you made a few pages back, it's REALLY awesome. Like, I really wanted to sign up to tell you that  Do you have a DA page or something you can PM me?Anyways, thanks again and happy to meet everyone. Now to add to this SC discussion: I dropped a little over $2000 in SC so far. My personal view is that I want SC to succeed, but I don't want people to be taken advantage of if that is really the case. What eventually sold me was seeing the multicrew demo since it seemed like a 'proof of concept' that what they wanted to do (CIG) was possible. I picked up the Armada pack eventually, though I did not actually back SC until around October of last year since I thought it was a scam with how little information and how much Chris was promising. As for Derek Smart, yes, I made a joke about him in the Discord chat but I like humor. Thats also why I thought the Starfleet Dental thing was funny. But as for Derek Smart, I believe everyone is inherently good. With that said, I also believe Derek Smart is a good person and that he's probably someone who I could call a friend. But I don't agree with his views and also don't really agree with his methods. I understand he feels the need to defend accusations made against him (as anyone would) but I just don't feel there always needs to be a winner when it comes to an argument. There is always a way for everyone to be a winner and always more than one solution to a problem. As for Chris/Sandi...once again, I don't believe they are intending to do harm but its hard to tell. I don't know them, as I don't know Derek, but I think Chris' vision is too massive. One the main things I always try to do is to keep things simple. Off the bat, just by looking over what Chris wants to do, its quite the opposite. Overall, if SC fails it will be a shame. Not because of the game not being made, but simply because a lot of people are going to be hurt. The backers, developers, everyone. Personally, I'm going to laugh if only because of the folly and how ludicrous it is that I spent $2000 on jpeg ships. I don't know. I won't be mad, but it will make an entertaining story and an interesting lesson.

Fuzzy Modem posted:Mostly just concept art. I admittedly don't pay attention to much else. I get the feeling CIG Santa Monica has the same attitude. Modem, I'm not going to call you out on bad opinions about other things. But I will say your personal experiences with Sandi, much like mine in the past, are very isolated from the daily management operations at CIG. You do not work for Sandi. You do not see and interact with her on a daily basis. How she is as a friend and how she is as a boss are two very different things.

mrking posted:If Fuzzy Modem can provide vague and nonspecific information without angering anyone at CIG or burning bridges I'm more interested in what exactly the persistent universe will become. Can players claim planets? Build fleets to control systems? Or is it just a big star system map that persists in perpetuity without changing? Can we eventually build a deathstar and destroy a planet and it will stay dead? Launch nukes into a sun and create a black hole? The video stated that all related software/drivers were discontinued, and required a lot of manual configuration - the mouse manufacturer's web page has been down for years From a person who bolts his Microsoft abortion to a mousepad to prevent it from slipping on his desk, this probably means hours of scouring 3d graphics forums for dropbox links to last stable firmwares, then a lot of autohotkey or joy2key work or something to map the axes to DInput/Xinput Also it would probably break on updating Windows, and you'd probably face issues like having to reinstall drivers every time you pull the usb contacts Apart from that - if you get a working setup it should be possible to have it mapped to anything you'd want it to. I guess you could contact the Youtube dude to get details of his setup I find the idea of a thumbstick on a mouse pretty cool and will check out alternatives if any exist

By the way, I just wanted to say I saw your Mechwarrior picture you made a few pages back, it's REALLY awesome. Like, I really wanted to sign up to tell you that I know you've probably made your mind up about it, but seriously man, get a refund (if it's still possible) or liquidate on Reddit. The current trajectory of the game is that hardly any of the flowery proposals for the PU will be implemented if the PU even greatly expands at all beyond what it is. As this year ends it will be harder if not impossible to break even, and I believe there will come a day where people will be trying to get rid of their ships for less than CIG is selling them. A majority of goons have very strong opinions about SC, but at least look at it from a common-sense approach: you may say that $2000 is pocket change for you or that you already budgeted it as entertainment money as so many people do, but just consider that even if the game does come out to glorious praise, all $2000 of those purchases can be earned for free in-game if you still really wanted to play it. Seriously, $2000 is a retarded amount to spend on any game, but it's not too late to come back from the edge. I was once like you, I eventually knew that backing this game was a stupid decision given CIG's current track record, and yet I sat on my package because I told myself it's money that I am not necessarily missing and I am too lazy to give a poo poo. But that's a foolish way to think, because it's still possible to get your money back so why not get it back? I eventually got all my money back and a clear conscious. Please, for the sake of all that is reasonable, get your $2000 back and if you really like the game just get the cheapest package possible and simply steal the big ships you used to own. If anything, just ask yourself honestly, have you gotten or do you see yourself getting $2000 of enjoyment out of this game, after seeing the progress that has been made through an impartial, non-hyped filter? You don't need to tell yourself "yes" just to feel less guilty, just get a refund brother and don't bear that guilt at all!

I have friends who are a part of the SA community and I've never really feared goons. I've encountered them in EVE online during a war between alliances, but otherwise I generally always spoke up for them. A lot of people just seem to have this bad image of goons yet most of the internet's content, original content actually, derives from SA. Bottom line is, I've always held respect for goons and SA.

Unless there is a clear vision that people can work towards and a direction that encourages them to do so, simply reiterating demands over and over again in the hopes that the solution will pop out there eventually forces people to start doing the bare minimum as they know their time isn't appreciated and will likely be changed on a whim.

As for Chris/Sandi, I don't believe they started up this whole thing meaning to do harm. But, as the project grew, they weren't able to manage it properly and, for better or worse, they are now perfectly fine with taking advantage of their customers in order to salvage it. Maybe in their delusional heads they think they'll be able to deliver, but being a delusional idiot is not a very good excuse and the alternative is them being 100% trash.

If they tried in good conscience to develop something and failed, how can you hold them accountable? Its quite easy when something is black and white (Ie: they failed to deliver because they bought booze and strippers) but an honest failure due to technical issues, oversights, personality conflicts, etc...I mean, how can you really hold someone accountable? If anything, the mark of failure of such a scale would be enough punishment, I think. Chris is leading the ship and if ship crashes, its all on the captain. For those below who tried to offer their best but fell short, failure is not the end. But Chris is in charge. If it fails, its on him.
