Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Every car manufacturer has started its company one day without having delivered any vehicle

Oh, who could forget that car manufacturer launched through Kickstarter, by the car guy with an industry reputation for having more mirrors in his house than cars in his factory? He'd previously bombed in the film industry, got sued by actual filmmakers, and left his family to marry his stalker. They concocted a masterplan to crowdfund an extraordinary car, one they hadn't even bothered to sketch but insisted it'd be all things to all people. Why? So they could create not one, but a multitude of shell companies scattered across the globe, including exotic locations like Panama, all for 'financial reasons'... like selling digital renderings of cars on a website. And whenever someone dared to ask, 'Where are the actual cars?' their excuse was always, 'You don't understand the intricacies of car development.' The only thing they managed to develop was a knack for disappearing acts, just like their prototype car, which kept breaking down and was about as much fun to drive as a pogo stick in a hurricane!

Yeah what happened to that company anyway?
 
If Static Meshing is not about adding Pyro in 3.21, it means this version of Static Meshing is about to manage zones inside Stanton. I thought that for the first version, they would simply create a component to manage the transition from one system (managed only by 1 server) to another (managed only by 1 server).

The let us play a cool alpha where I have spent hundred of hours. Best 45€ spent in my gamer life.
 
More 'leaks' fun...

Meeting with big people?

Erin?
 
"I'm having fun for $45" doesn't counter 'This guy was ripped off for $3000' conceits.
Doubly so when the $3k guy paid for your playpit.
We've explained this to you young Ant.
He and I spent money to fund the game and be able to play it.
He and I can play the alpha since several years.
He and I know we are funding a complex game that need time.
And spending 3K doesn't indicate it's much for him. My 45€ may be more of a burden on my budget than $3K on his.

I've posted innumerous rants from concierge+ wannabe-refundians over the years that absolutely prove this argument to be false friend.

Do you want me to post some more? ;)
 
They're attempting to finally get 2 public servers to talk to each other in 2023. And have downgraded from the initial 2 solar systems (4 servers) plan. This is definitely the simple version.

But yes it will still probably go horribly ;)
Having SM in one server require having a change of server on the fly while you change region (because there is no loading screen in Stanton while you fly). SM between systems was far simplier, you can disguise a loading screen during the jump point.

Stupid guys doesn't understanding what they sign for exists since forever. Nothing new. The only ones enticed to be angry are funders from before 2015 that have not voted for the expansion of scope and not got back their money.

SQ42 will be released as a full game and it will contain the first chapter of the story
Squadron 404 Episode 1 is supposed to contain 28 chapters, and from the $5m stretch goal it apparently will have 50 missions.
I presume LittleAnt meant a "full game" as in Episode 1 (as opposed to Episodes 2 and 3), so not just the first chapter/mission, but the full 50 missions.

Well, frack, lol

I suspect that statement will also age as fine as a bottle of milk at noon in the Sahara. I mean, either that or there will be 50 utterly crappy missions.

Yes on the first bit, but that doesn't mean the seller gets a free pass on any miselling and misrepresentation they've got up too.

Nope on the second bit: I've posted innumerous posts by post-2015 concierge+ backers who absolutely feel ripped off too. They are legion. You're talking demonstrable nonsense.

Your eagerness to defend CIG on these fronts does you no favours. A very unsavoury look indeed.

Not that it will matter. That's the thing: Chris Roberts could come out tomorrow and say "thanks for the free money, suckers, I'm moving to Tahiti," and too many of his backers, including our miniature arthropod here, would applaud it as a masterful gambit, and would settle back in to wait for Star Citizen to release.

See, The Simpsons episode "Marge vs. The Monorail" doesn't work when it comes to Star Citizen. Everyone on the dangerously careening monorail would feel completely confident that the ride would safely end soon, and hope Lyle Lanley returns to build an even bigger one next time.

You should look at the SQ42 tracker. A lot of tasks are finished and almost all the rest of tasks ends in october.
After october, there is only debug, polish and the Polaris.
