Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

The wait for the Jesus Queue continues...

Didn't have as much time IRL today for Evo, but audio overlap between hangars still persists. Had 3 Server Errors in under an hour. Hangar opened, but there was another set of doors/wall that appeared closed. I edged my ship up and had no collision until I got halfway through and then I exploded. My equipment was not transferred to the inventory in Hurston, which was disappointing if that's an intended change.

 
Just to expand with something I said a few posts ago. Reality TV.

CIG really could get some income by launching multiple shows. They could have one with people competing to join the company, they're given features to design each week and the one who failed the worst gets dropped. CIG of course owns anything they coded and use with full rights. At the end only one of the contestants will get a job.

There could be a show set in the meeting room with Chris Roberts as the star coming up with ideas as usual and then everyone tries to make it happen each week. It's very episodic and might look repetitive with Chris's Ideas, but you could have 100 eposides and no one will know the difference between them. There could be a little server segment each week where a few guys huddle around and discuss if cables reached the racks.

Then there's the ultimate show that will et Chris Roberts back to Hollywood. It'll follow Sandy as she goes to auditions with Chris giving her advice before each one. Imagine the drama involved, it's 'grate' television.

I think these are great ideas, because I thougt of them. It'll get CIG even more money and could get Chris Roberts back into Hollwood and more importantly out of the game insdustry.

I'm already imagining CIG as something like Clarkson's Farm. Chris Roberts comes up with a money making scheme, get people to help him, screws it up along the way and a lot of shouting involved.

No joke, this has essentially already happened.

The Next Great Starship competition saw them on stage judging backer ships built with Cryengine tools. They then hired a bunch of said backers...

You can see some snippets here:

From Mike's discord, one of the best "this is SC, really" videos I have seen in a while. It has it all. The SC segment starts at 1:59:42. Worth it, the whole segment... 😬

The co commentators remarks as the bugs and brokenness get more and more hilarious are the best part 😋

I was laughing with the other guys until around 23 minutes in then I just feel sad.

Such a cult. They're still going on about "transparent development" even though no-one knows what happening after 10 years and nothings been produced.
Watching that guy defending it throughout that painful half hour despite all the bugs was really something, wasn’t it.

I would not say it is a cult though. I would argue it is rather on CIG. CIG has found a hole in consumer protection, regulation and game press behavior which is exploiting to the fullest in order to abuse customers (and perhaps benefit from 3rd parties money laundering in the process). Well, that and the fact they have elevated constant misrepresentation, bait and switch, to an art level. Some could argue it may actually constitute fraud.

It's amazing. He's literally just spent ten minutes struggling to get out of his hab, and then waiting because trains are just janking straight past, and he just squints his eyes up and goes off on an 'open door' 'AAA production' endorsement soliloquy 😁
