I'm a bit late to the party so I took a trip over to r/starcitizen_trades and I honestly cannot believe people are buying jpegs. '600i' and 'deluxe ground vehicle pack' are just code-words for drugs or something right?

Contingency posted:Not that you guys would know any better, but I've got a year of Cisco ACI under my belt and being able to spin up a virtual switch is no different from writing netcode for a FPS MMO. I've looked at some packets with Wireshark and all CIG has to do is spin up more servers. Checkmate goonailures I'm no John Videogames, but I'd love to do some packet/network analysis of SC to see just how bad it is. I think what you _could_ learn is things like: - just how hosed is their wire protocol? I assume they either completely reimplemented TCP from scratch but with FIDELITY or they've purchased some really miserable JSON RPC middleware for it. or both. or its just generic cryengine networking with absolutely nothing done to it and server meshing and uint42 is a scam (surprise!) - how much information is leaked to the client? again I assume there is MUCH - how many servers are they actually running? given some of the CIG's comments about AWS/EC2 from earlier in the thread, i'd be really surprised if they've actually tried to scale anything. my guess is everything jammed into is ONE BIG rear end X1 instance with no firewall whatsoever. okay i'm interested. what's the bare rear end minimum i need to pay for a greymarket game account?

at least Star Wars Galaxies had some cool (at least in concept) stuff like being able to build camps in the wilderness. you know, for camping mobs. sometimes i think, assuming Crobear wasn't such a blatant scam artist, everyone would've been much happier if they instead tried to build Space Second Life. effectively that's what the hangar simulator has evolved into anyhow. i guess the scam really falls apart, though, if you don't make pretenses that the $1200 ship (that punches above its weight btw) will definitely let you and your crew explore and conquer fidelitous content-filled craters.

The space dogfighting clips I'm sure will be recycled for the confused mom demographic when squadron 54 vertical slices compete with star wars squadrons this fall. It actually looked kind of fun but also sorta generic and bland. The team play voice acting grab rear end always makes me cringe. I think Division 2 or Density 2 or one of those games did the same crap with their preview vids. At least they released a game tho. The FPS combat looks insanely jank which boggles the mind as to why they bothered to include it in this video. I guess they can't even get all-hands-on-deck for releasing Mark Hamil's hitchy mocapped rear end info the world before sterr werrs comes out

so i gave this turd rocket a try during the free fly. i've followed this thread for some time, so here's a bulleted list of FUDster stuff from my first time with the game: - Literally the first time I spawned and mashed enough buttons to get out of my wank pod, I fell through the floor and watched my body temperature go down as I fell through the sky and went splat. - thanks to SA I know that elevators are the most important game system in SC. i was able to successfully navigate the elevator to and run to the tube - a train showed up just as my train was leaving, jankily clipping through it fortunately the train i boarded carried me away through a rather long tunnel ride that i can only imagine is neat about 1 time. - i called up some light fighter that undoubtedly punches above its weight and sheared something off trying to hover in the hangar bay. I sent many "o7 fellow citizens!!" messages and they told me the arcane button presses needed to open the hangar door. - the server i was on had about 42 people on it, several of them bragging how much money they spent on the game. $2k here, $10k there, one guy claimed someone in his group dropped $20k and now they have unreleased jpegs to play with. IDK - i was sorely disappointed by the lack of t-posed NPCs. i was promised t-posed NPCs. - i flew to some space station and landed on a pad. i ran around looking for a bar and didn't find one, not did i find any t-posed NPCs. disappointed. - i started to fly to some random planet (i dont know or care about any of the location names in this strange hangar simulator) to find a bar to drink with FELLOW CITIZENS  but the destination was some 48,000,000km away and I got bored of waiting for quantum drive for 20 mintues.- i suicided and woke up in the wank pod on the station I last visited and at that point was so bored that I uninstalled the game. worth what i paid for it.

The idea that CI hasn’t managed to stand up a persistent storage solution in 9 years, while I managed to write a criminally overengineered first cut at a service that did write-back caching (more or less) with constant management interference BY MYSELF in less than a year means that I’m surely a turbonerd hypergenius savant. i'm a CTO of a persistent dynamic blockchain cache cloud and you don't understand that the first 90% of the work is the predecessor to the second 90% of the work. if you were really so smart you'd be working for CIG so the game can release by 2028. o7

Why does it simply "appear"? Shouldn't it be drawn from storage through a real elevator from the ship storage area? And all of the ships are loaded by RSI super tugs into the storage module where you can work as a warehouse worker to load and unload ships and cargo all day to earn enough credits to become captain of your own ship? I thought this was supposed to be physicalized inventory!! I thought SC wasn't fake?

colonelwest posted:It’s been fun to watch them walk back all of their promises of “physicalized” everything. The cargo decks were originally supposed to be these fully functioning industrial areas, where all of your cargo was unloaded off of your ship and NPCs and players would be handling complex machinery. Now it’s just more pointless/functionless space, where I guess you can pick up cargo missions, which you could previously do anywhere. right, because it's obviously an insane and endless rabbit hole. no level of physicalized anything will be good enough because there's always some constituent component that needs to be in place before you can build the next thing. like, okay, whose the guy that fills the big ben's noodle cup dispenser back up? who is his supplier? where is his ship and warehouse? where do the ships get stored when you store them? What happens to that cargo you dropped off 9 hours ago? where are the kegs for the space beer, obviously full of liquid? where do they get all of the hair to make a hairy roberts? for those following along at home, the answers are obviously: doesnt exist, doesnt exist, doesnt exist doesnt exist, doesnt exist, doesnt exist, chris roberts' backside. do the elevators actually move from point A to point B, or does the box you're standing in just teleport? if it's the former, then why is it good enough for that to be "real" but the rest so fake? if it's the latter, isn't that the same smoke and mirrors literally every game uses? the cognitive dissonance is bewildering.

Zazz Razzamatazz posted:Is there a space game that hasn't thrown shade at CIG at this point? EA literally named their game "Squadrons", NMS has sandworms, ED had the bartender (AND space legs), Rebel Galaxy had some overt references I can't remember ATM. Starfield is the only one that hasn't- then again they haven't really shown anything about their game yet, so they have time. Clearly C.R. (blessed be his name) inspired every other space game on the market today, and therefore Star Citizen was (and forever will be) a huge success by daring to dreams.txt regardless of the actual game. The publishers know that Chris R-berts has them on the ropes so they're trying everything in their power to sink Star Citizen BUT CHRIS HAS ALREADY WON I have more fun staring at my ships and flying them in my head and therefore handing my stimulus cheque to CIG was a good investment.

This is so many levels of stupid, but I shall attempt to unpack it quote:The AI are "Flawless, it's great, as good as any other AAA game", according to someone As good as any other game? Isn't Star Citizen AAAA quality?? Please, please start talking about subsumption. quote:In Star Citizen the current PU without server meshing has reached the limit that AWS servers can hold - previously everything in the PU was all on one server blade and the server blades did not communicate with each other. Planning a multi-server project is something that should've been obvious from day one. They've been working on SSOCS and uint46 for literal years now. quote:Once the server issues are resolved the AI will be "flawless". Oh, right. The AI is bound by the limits of an AWS instance. OK. CIG is AI'ing so hard that the AI is bursting at the digital seams. quote:The 'Where is Pico' contest was designed to get players to take an object with unique ID all around the playable system, and to have it persist in ships when logged out and back in - which it has. Imagine, tens of Picos with unique IDs, but totally the same in every way. They're physicalized and cached! Amazing! Even if this wasn't pointless.. do they really not have a way to do automated testing? Of course they don't, this is CI~G! quote:This shows that they have an early version of iCache working since parts the PU are reloaded according to what was on a server when it spun down, and that information in the iCache is used to spin up another server. Star Citizen now has a database. quote:PU is broken into shards where each location is held on a server and you transition between servers out in space away from any landing zone locations, space stations, or moons it happens in real time  and then the servers can send your data to another server because they can both talk to the databasequote:Later comes full dynamic server meshing where shards (groups of servers) CIG will learn to use spot instances. That's why they need the iCache. quote:you just can't have servers in Sydney talking in real time to servers in Texas without some lag because it takes time for a signal to travel down the cables and go through each connecting node As we all know, the speed of light only applies inside of cables. In space, it's instant because there's nothing for it to wave in. Elon knows this and I wouldn't be surprised if he invests in CIG soon.
