I really hope we get a mole some day on this most transparent of game development projects who leaks what day-to-day looks like inside their madhouse, or something telling like daily commit logs. Hundreds of employees yet output with the exception of the jpeg pipeline seems lower than 1 employee.

After many months on PTU testing, and after the disastrous release of the patch to Live with people for days without even being able to access the game, in 14 days this is all the progress with the Known Issues for patch x.x.1 (let's not forget, again for PTU); they have "fix" 2 of them and added 3 new ones.
And what's new in this patch?
Feature Updates
- Initial Ship Delivery (A quick trick to try to mitigate problems with server requests)
- Arena Commander Customization Temporarily Disabled (Disable a function of the Arena Commander)
And for these changes, these tremendous changes, they have to create again a new PTU and not introduce them in Live version... I guess they don't want to touch Live as it is now in order not to " ruin " it...
And there are still people who every day try to convince me that the 3.18 (and now the 3.18.1) runs great, is stable, runs at 120 fps on 4k and everything is perfect.
Of course it is.

Something definitely does not add up, and it is not just the finances.
My initial thought was they got the idea from EVE online. In EVE the quality fo clones affect how much skills you retain after death.
Seems to me feture updates in SC are more of a patch fix for on going issues rather than any real features.
Real question, does SC have any wildlife?
edit: holy mother of god, I forgot EVE online is 20 years old. Now that's a game players are truely invested in.
Default answer applies...
Does SC have X? Yes
Is X working in the game? No
Only flora, not fauna. There were turtles at some point but these seemed manually placed by devs.
Well if that's the case (which it really seems to be) then fix things, right? because they've barely fixed anything in 14 days...
And if you fix things, after months of PTU, fix things directly in Live.... do they have so little confidence in their own patches that they have to release a fixes-only update in PTU?
I'm sorry, but it sounds a bit like cowardice to me, or they are taking a shot in the dark.

Well, there are two main explanations for why they have used PTU for 3.18.1: Either they do not know what they are doing and realistically fear that 3.18.1 can break things even more (if that is even possible), or the given justification to launch 3.18 in Live (namely that they needed more people trying it out so to collect data) was utter cattle biowaste. Neither looks particularly attractive.

PES Watch
Prison PES testing - I don't like the bugs, but the bugs like me...
I liked the auto-cooked intro. 'Physicalised' duplicating ships seem to be new too... (Probably mission duplication in this case though).

Bug type things in caves. Not sure they really count as wildlife.

Of course it is.
It is more the "known issues" from march 11th that arent on any known issue list.
The patch complete choked when deployed to live and fell on its face.
It is much better now than it was originally.
More like placid life.
Could be, after all CR have praised Eve online before… but in Eve clones’ bodies are not “printed”… clone production takes months and the final product is stored until bought by a customer.
In the anime show I mentioned, the body is literally “printed” on demand (IIRC) and takes few hours only and doesn’t include consciousness transfer from old clone to the new one…

The turtles...or tortoises if you're European...were at a particular food vendor stall in area 18 for quite some time. They were in boxes or trays around the food stall, presumably to be cooked and sold as 'crusty pies'
. They were animated and would crawl around if set free.There was emergent gameplay generated through a 'Rescue the turtles' effort for quite a few patches prior to 3.15 when they mysteriously all vanished. Folk would grab one and keep it as a temporary pet in their ships (before PES obviously so they vanished if you stored the ship) or set them free somewhere else.
I always picked up a few of them when visiting area 18 back then to repatriate and set loose in one of the green areas on Microtech...named them all Bob
