Spectrum wandering into Hotel California territory. ED gets a few mentions along the way


Personally I'd love for CIG to implement PG/solo modes in SC, if only to watch the resulting meltdown on the forums.
Our guys participated in that recent event they did, whatever it was, and there were some complaints about "people disrupting the event for fun". They didn't like it at all. Words like "gankers" or "griefers" were avoided, not sure if intentionally or not .
 
Yeah, marketing wise 1000 sounds most excellent. But it is when you start to understand the implications that you realize in how many different and easy ways the whole thing can break.

I imagine good dev design on the other hand ensures that a system is proposed in a way that minimizes or even eliminates those risks. Which more often than not probably leads to very specific caps and compromises to ensure an actual smooth gameplay experience in all possible situations.

I suspect CIG doesn’t care at all that the thing can still too easily break as long as they can get a “1000 players” headline.
CIG has a long history now of doing things that don't come close to working, just to say something is a record or a first.

Their cultists completely overlook that none of these firsts and biggest actually work.
 
I was going to draw parallel between CIG and cosmetic industry. Producing a one off product that don't need continuous buy in is bad for business.
Thing that led to downfall of Finnish Wikström motor company. You buy boat engine from them....well if certain upkeep is done, your grandchildren could still use their engines. Basically near forever engines. Not very good for recurring sales :D

Wait, shouldn't Chris be reselling these every 24 months?
 
Funny how the main narrative among the SC faithful about Soulsinger is its going to be a new tech for SC. Every time it comes up, someone asserts its new tech for SC.

I guess that's because they understand the negativity it will produce if it is a new game and they are trying their best to deflect or ignore this possibility.

One day though, CIG will have to actually reveal what it is. I think that moment is going to be glorious.
Sometimes I think CIG put out randomly generated words, see what their Citizens come up with and run with it.

as long as cig sells a widget on the store that allows me to invade the private group, its good by me. gotta monetize it somehow.
 
Good, the flight model is the most important part of a space flight game, they better get it right.
As far as I'm concerned the game could all take place in one system with more coming as dlc, they're plenty big enough.
Hell, one planet would be big enough, they could have put dozens of biomes and solve the time to travel issue holding the game back. No one wants to spend 10 minutes leaving atmo.

Love how some are willing to bargain themselves down. From "the 'verse" to "the planet".
 
One fun thing to consider is how alien controlled systems will need completely different assets and how systems like Terra and Sol should be teeming with big cities.

Still, once the pipelines are in place i'm sure the content floodgates will open! /s

What happened to all the pipelines by the way? I remember so many mentions of pipelines I thought the US might invade them soon.
