I don't mean he looks better physically. But I can see why someone would describe him as "more natural" for that show.

That could be the next step. There was that Breeding Season, that hentai game that collected $42K per month that got cancelled a few months ago when the art director took all the assets. Supposedly they were in operation for at least two years.

/r/Games: The 24-Year Feud That Has Dogged Star Citizen (Kotaku.co.uk)

ContributorX_PJ64
It really bothers me how this petty schoolyard feud has overshadowed real critique of the game's development woes. You've got heaps of people willing to parrot about how the game is a vaporware scam just because Derek Smart says so.
Derek Smart, once upon a time, was a rather impressive developer, at least on paper. A sort of one man game development cyclone who clearly had no idea how to work effectively with a team or to deliver a working game on any sort of deadline.
But he hasn't produced anything interesting in decades. Wheras Roberts has produced SOMETHING.

Honestly when you look at one or the other you realize there is no comparison. One just doesn't think big and has an extremely small worldview. Lots of small people out there. Not sure why someone would bother writing that giant article about it. Seems like a waste to me.

You have the unique opportunity to start an open dialog, assuage any misgivings we might have, and have yet to definitely answer any questions. A lack of definitive response is one of the reasons some people here are skeptical toward SC/SQ42, and you're not helping to put the project in a good light.

How much are you in for, commando?

I think most citizens will be perfectly happy if you never play the game. But I, and several others, think this community can be redeemed somewhat. We don't need to prove ourselves to you, but you need to prove yourselves to us if you wish to be a part of this community. Its really not too late.

Hey pgabz serious question: what do you think is your funniest gameplay video of 2.5 in action? If you link it I will post it as a comment on that kotaku UK article.

Theres a reason he doesn't make videos anymore. Turns out, when development progresses at this pace many things get fixed and the videos just aren't compelling, even to goons. I respect him for his intellectual honesty for stopping and don't think he 'edited' his config files. Alphas gonna bug after all.

Yeah you jumped the shark way early here commando ha ha.
I have no vids of 2.5 because:
The game crashes every 5 minutes now
This corrupts the video files
The truth as usual is duller than the theories, sorry.

You've said recently you cant even bug through the door anymore so its not good footage if you aren't naked. There no reason to be dishonest just to try and score points on the forums.

I hope when the game comes out you start making videos again as, even if its woefully misdirected in a hateful direction, you are capable of making some amusing stuff.

I mean, "utilize" our "opportunity"? Come on dude, you're going nowhere with that, we're a bunch of happy idiots laughing at a failed space game, no aspirations beyond whatsoever.

Well for someone to be the smartest person in the room there must be someone who is the lowest. I, and the others I'm collaborating with, think we can reach several people here in a constructive dialogue. Several people have expressed interest in playing the game when it released and I know goons have donated over 500,000 dollars to Chris's vision over the years.

Saying people are here solely to mock and strike down those taller than them is demonstrably not the case.

I do have an org but as anyone familiar with org dynamics on RSI revealing your fleet composition is a fatal error. Especially in hostile territory such as this. I however will be flying a sabre personally as my main.

I do have an org chart I can show you with officers etc? Would that work?

My main goal here is to hopefully recruit one or two members here as "muscle". Big bad goons etc. We are positioning as the rebel, "Firefly" type of org. Mainly trading, but some serious attitude.

My plan was to load a Tali out with missile pods and run it as an escort gunship for larger convoys and/or do some light trading. But it also depends on what they put on sale for CitCon, tbh.

I don't plan on anymore ships unless they release something that outclasses the Sabre. I want some stuff to earn in the game. My idea is to be like a mercenary caravan guard (pirate those who stiff me) and then to slowly "go legit" as the economy gets settled in.

It sounds like you'd be a good fit. Although I see in previous posts you've been needlessly negative of star citizen. So consider yourself a member of Randy's Roughnecks on a probationary basis.

Will fit you into the org chart in a few hours and post it.

Anyone else like to join? We do have a bit more room for some muscle. And we are willing to take as many traders as willing. Must be a backer though as of now.

I want to be a bridge officer, monitoring the situation C&C style from the command deck. If the situation looked grim, I would slowly take off my glasses with shaking hands, and request everybody leave except a few people.

Then I'd fire them publicly in front of each other, and clip outside the ship as it turns. My /salute would be my final memory before my twisting limbs become connected to another instance and the server crashes.

Once they implement VR it's gonna be amazing what kind of stuff you can do.

I'm heading home here in a half hour or so. I'll work on the org chart then.
