Pfft, don't they know they needed to build a company first and then make all the pipelines? Foul doubters. Development only really started in 2022.

"New motion-capture data was used to update some significant scenes in the med bay, ensuring characters interact correctly with the latest swiveling-chair setup."

The swiveling-chair tech could be used to implement revolving doors.

Hmm... nobody in that thread has referenced the leaked script.

Unfortunately I can't find a copy of it any more. The old pastebin link is dead.

Anyone with a working link, perhaps a lurking goon? And anyone with permission to post on Spectrum and willing to cop a lifetime ban for posting it? :p

I asked an Intelligent friend:
INT. SPACE STATION - COMMAND CENTER - DAY

A vast command center filled with high-tech holographic displays and bustling activity. COMMANDER ALEXANDER GRAYSON, a seasoned military officer, stands at the center, addressing a group of pilots.

COMMANDER GRAYSON Alright, listen up, everyone. We've received distress signals from the Vega system. Our fleet is severely outnumbered, and the UEE needs our help. This is it—Squadron 42's most critical mission to date.

The pilots exchange determined glances, their faces a mix of excitement and concern.

PILOT 1 What are we up against, Commander?

COMMANDER GRAYSON Hostile Vanduul forces. Reports indicate a massive fleet led by their fearsome Warlord. We're going in to buy the fleet time to regroup. We have to make every shot count.

INT. SQ42 SHIP - COCKPIT - DAY

The cockpit of a cutting-edge spacecraft. The ship's pilot, LIEUTENANT SARAH ADAMS, sits at the controls, ready for action. She adjusts her headset, a mix of nerves and determination on her face.

INT. SPACE STATION - COMMAND CENTER - CONTINUOUS

COMMANDER GRAYSON Sarah, you're leading Alpha Squadron. Take point and engage the enemy. The rest of you, follow her lead.

Sarah salutes the Commander and heads toward her ship.

INT. SQ42 SHIP - COCKPIT - CONTINUOUS

Sarah straps herself in and powers up the ship's engines. She gazes out at the vastness of space, her mind focused on the upcoming battle.

INT. SPACE STATION - COMMAND CENTER - CONTINUOUS

Commander Grayson observes the squadron launching and takes a deep breath. He's confident in their abilities but concerned for their safety.

COMMANDER GRAYSON Good luck, Squadron 42. May the stars guide you.

EXT. SPACE - VEGA SYSTEM - DAY

Squadron 42 emerges from a jump point and enters the Vega system. The area is engulfed in chaos as the Vanduul fleet wreaks havoc on UEE forces. Explosions light up the sky.

INT. SQ42 SHIP - COCKPIT - CONTINUOUS

Sarah maneuvers her ship with precision, expertly dodging enemy fire while firing back. The Vanduul ships are relentless, but she remains focused.

INT. SPACE STATION - COMMAND CENTER - CONTINUOUS

Commander Grayson monitors the battle on the holographic displays. He watches as Squadron 42 engages the enemy, impressed by their skill and bravery.

INT. SQ42 SHIP - COCKPIT - CONTINUOUS

The battle intensifies. Sarah's ship takes damage, and alarms blare throughout the cockpit. She grits her teeth and continues to fight, refusing to back down.

INT. SPACE STATION - COMMAND CENTER - CONTINUOUS

Commander Grayson clenches his fists, feeling the weight of the lives at stake. He gives orders to other squadrons, coordinating the counterattack.

COMMANDER GRAYSON We can't let them break through! Hold the line!

INT. SQ42 SHIP - COCKPIT - CONTINUOUS

Sarah's ship sustains more damage, and the situation looks dire. She glances at a photo of her family on the console, finding renewed strength.

LIEUTENANT SARAH ADAMS (whispering) For them.

She maneuvers her ship in a daring move, taking out several Vanduul fighters. The tide of the battle begins to turn.

INT. SPACE STATION - COMMAND CENTER - CONTINUOUS

Commander Grayson watches as Squadron 42's heroic actions inspire others. The UEE forces rally, pushing back the Vanduul onslaught.

COMMANDER GRAYSON We've got them on the run! Keep up the pressure!

INT. SQ42 SHIP - COCKPIT - CONTINUOUS

Sarah fights alongside her squadron, her determination unwavering. The enemy Warlord's ship comes into view, and she knows it's the final push.

LIEUTENANT SARAH ADAMS Squadron 42, focus your fire on the Warlord's ship! We can end this!

The squadron unleashes a relentless barrage on the Warlord's ship, breaching its defenses.

INT. SPACE STATION - COMMAND CENTER - CONTINUOUS

Commander Grayson watches as the Warlord's ship explodes in a brilliant display. The Vanduul fleet retreats, defeated.

COMMANDER GRAYSON Squadron 42, outstanding job! You've saved countless lives today. The UEE thanks you.

INT. SQ42 SHIP - COCKPIT - CONTINUOUS

Sarah breathes a sigh of relief, a mix of exhaustion and accomplishment on her face. She looks out at the remnants of the battle and smiles.

LIEUTENANT SARAH ADAMS We did it, Squadron 42.

She powers down her ship's engines and takes a moment to savor the victory.

FADE OUT.

so I've just watched the 45 minutes of starfield presentation for the first time... and so why is this game not fully recognized as scam citizen again? I can totally see bethesda people have been looking at this game and said to each others "that's not how you do that, and instead we we would do this in our game"...

I bet starfield have costed less to make than scam citizen purported funding...

Of course. Talent is expensive but it also gets you to the finish line faster.

For sure it's easier when you skip the whole seamless landing, real ship handling, atmospheric flight, multiplayer, EVA, ground vehicle, etc
You love to fly your ship between the mountains ? Too bad, you'll do it by walking (not even with ground vehicle).

Delivering a product is generally easier when you are working for a relatively healthy, competent game company that is not led by a failed movie director.

Not long now until some of the old 10 year bans handed out on Spectrum start to expire.

I kind of hope they come back and their first post is to say "So, returned from 10 year ban. Is Star Citizen released yet?"

In other news, Seagate do a Starfield licensed hard drive for x-box.

Starfield Gets Its Own Seagate Hard Drives

The upcoming Bethesda RPG Starfield gets officially licensed hard drives from Seagate to add to the list of themed peripherals.

Shades of Star Citizen's Optane drive that never took off.

Funny thing is, according to goons (and cannot confirm since all the links to order one and specs are dead) they aren't SSD, and SSD is a requirement for Starfield. Would be a funny self-own if true.

Too bad it still doesn't work after 11 years being worked on. It's as if it's been coded by the monkeys who have no clue what they're doing or maybe it's nothing like that at all and just a big fart and grift to skim off gullible people's money.
Surely a respectable company would have long produced something more presentable by now.

Be reassured, SQ42 will never be released

I don’t know if it will or not. But you seemed pretty sure that because the removal from the store it meant its “release” was “imminent”. But then you backtracked “imminent” to “soon” and “perhaps” instead. And also backtracked “release” to “big news” instead 🤷‍♂️

And so, following all your backtracking, if it is not “imminent” anymore and if it is not “release” anymore, then the removal of SQ404 from the store probably points to a more significant issue than just a price change.
