That’s just their cloth sim recycled to giant duvet.
Some choice comments as always
Also one guy claims:
I'm not paying $45 to find out if that's true though...
Nice one. Still pretty chonky then!

Good news! At that rate SC will be bug free in 2.4 hours!
Come on, everyone knows you don't fix bugs until the final polishing phase, makes no sense to fix bugs while a game is still under development!
January Report is out https://robertsspaceindustries.com/...0424-Star-Citizen-Monthly-Report-January-2025
Seems like they haven't even got as far as starting the transit refactor - that was supposed to be essential before Pyro could be shipped ...

Improvement or rewrite. Flip a coin or roll a die for the full on GameDev RP experience
My god, it's full of reworks...
AI (Content)
[...] Work was done on a proprietary tool that will allow the designers to generate a script of the in-engine dialogue flow to ensure the lines work as intended. This will allow for much more efficiency in the writing and capturing of future characters. [How the hell does SQ42 not have this already?]
AI (Game Intelligence Development Team)
[Still working on StarScript...]
AI (Tech)
[...] planning was done for the work still required to fully synchronize AI components with the Server Meshing authority transition and other features and systems planned for development this year.
Art (Characters)
In January, the Character team continued working on StarWear art debt.
Core Gameplay
[...] technical documentation was created for fundamental improvements or rewrites to some of the core systems, including the transit and hangar flows. This involved cross-team collaboration to ensure that improvements are not solely on the game side but also support content setup and the latest engine features.
Mission Design
[...] continued the ongoing mission refactor and shared an update on the status of some old missions on Spectrum.
They also continued to create new, unannounced content that will improve the quality of all missions, including retroactively improving all existing missions. [Hmmm]
Online Technology
Following the holiday break, the Online Services team continued to add various improvements to the ongoing mission-system refactor, including Global Events and new features.
R&D
The R&D team began January investigating rare PU crashes inside the planet-spawning code. A bug was found inside the serialization framework causing a concurrency issue with on-demand type ID generation.
VFX
For Alpha 4.0.1, the VFX team worked on the MISC Fortune and elements of another vehicle, which will be shared soon.

They simply put all their code through this tool:
To be fair, apart from the apparent bad management and poisonous environment and crunches, it must be fun as a dev not having to write code harnesses or any sort of checking

"Refactor", "rework", "debt", "planning", "update", "soon"... yup, coming along nicely. My favourite - "retroactively improving all existing missions" - so apparently they've also invented time travel.
Every 2 years they do transport the game back in time 2 years.
Someone spotted a fun little quote regarding Wing Commander...
The reworks never stop
I wonder how Kevin Droney feels about it
