It's just another reset. Real work on SC started 2023. Time machine. Temporal distortion. Time Valkyries abducted Robbers and did who knows what to him. Something like that.

I'm sorry my level of education isn't at the same standard as yours.
Don't play coy. You know exactly which word to put where to influence the narration.
The narration intent was exactly how i explained it.

Yep spot on. That sounds like the new news to me too...
They think the work separating out the replication layer will at least allow that. (Handover of authority between two servers etc). So they can bodge another placeholder solution in the meantime
5m - PES is persisting. That's great. That's behind us.
5m50s - Primary objective is to get to a 2nd solar system. Secondary goal would be allowing features like jump points... [?]
7m20 - Couldn't work on PES & SM simultaneously in the end. Had to focus on PES alone.
7m40s - Blaming lockdown somewhat, saying did PES during lockdown so that's good
8m30 - More shots of worried / non-plussed / angry looking engineering types... [unnamed]
8m50s - Separating out replication layer opens up Pyro [says Producer who admits he doesn't know what he's talking about]
9m25 - Their 'initial plan' in late 2020 / 2021...
10m - The garbled producer bit on providing Pyro before server meshing. Sounds like it will be hosted on a single server, not be multiple 'Dedicated Games Servers' 'meshed' together, 'static' style. They think separating out replication layer will at least allow that. (Handover of authority between two servers etc]
"What we want to do of course is have multiple DGS [Dedicated Game Servers] per star system, but we're separating the actual jump gate stuff from the actual uh server meshing stuff, so that we get to the
point so we can actually assure pyro's delivery, and whilst we worry about the actual, uh, server meshing delivery. So we're actually yeah, those are now from our perspective two different problems."
10m45s - 'Very early on' they'll separate the replication layer from the DGS. Key step to delivering Pyro. And then work on SM.
12m50 - We all have our views on how we get to 'Dynamic Server Meshing' [translation, they don't know / agree]
13m - We're getting into the cases we have to deal with. 'What happens if a player dies in a jump tunnel...'

Let me express my disbelief and leave it at that.
Escape your meeting and run into the wilds with me...

"claimed but not verified"
Is that not something that could be defined as "alleged"?
I put it to you that is exactly what it is. You suggested it.
Dont turn my words. You didnt use alleged, I did. And there is no need arguing, I'm not buying.
Yes and did i not apologize to you for using the wrong word?
What do you not understand about" I'm not buying."
How rude, I know. So you have to go on my list now - sorry no successful provocation today.
Or more accurately, they need to have something for those 700 hundreds of artists to do while the core systems team spends days, even weeks, discussing how to design something that should've been completed by 2014.It probably didnt, but the stuff that really needs attention is actually incredibly difficult to fix without breaking the rest of the game. So to show activity and progress they "rework" some things. Everything looks better after some new textures, an increase in polygon count and a new colour scheme!
Maybe it's such an unpleasant discussion they procrastinated until now.
"We need to talk!"
"Oh, God, please no."
Male escape reflex kicks in and legs go into oveerdrive.
Crobbler and the Time Valkyries absolutely needs to be a ZX Spectrum game, right now!

Personally, when it comes to Star Citizen, it's taken me longer than it really should have to reach
"Wait! Is this a case of Poe's Law?"
and then make the transition to
"If I have to ask if this might be a case of Poe's Law, then it probably is a case of Poe's Law."

Sandi: "What's happening with server meshing?"
Chris: "Uh, well OK. Well server meshing we're working really hard on. Um, we have put together uh you know probably uh like biggest uh engineering uh strike team um so we have uh whole bunch of the uh you know engine team that's working on it as well as the networking team..."

The funniest thing about this latest Pyro bodge is that it's gonna have none of the server performance improvements that was supposed to arrive at the same time. It'll still be a server per solar system. So no extra headroom for stuff like, say, ship crew. Or PvE capital ship battles. Or herds of animals scudding about in the wilds
Just more assets baby. Lots and lots more assets. Some of them ship shaped...
(Odds on Tony won't make much headway with his quantum backend either, which'd be one thing they could expand on with multiple locations. Because all the relevant engineers will still be stuck on 'Meshing'. Although there's always a chance they'll get something working. Then break it because it was built on placeholder bridging tech

What i love most about these videos is watching the employees age over the years.
