+rep.
Damn, I'm fond of this album... I'm fond of Maynard's voice... Can't wait for the next Tool album.
So they copied ED or what?
Hello everyone...
Anyone seen the 2.4J patch notes yet?
If nothing else, the on-going 2.4 “persistence” update clearly proves what I’ve been saying all along. In that their primary focus is on implementing features which make money. e.g. instead of implementing core game features, they implemented shops and in-game currency; which will turn into RL currency at some point in the short term.
And the 2.4j test update that went live last night, also clearly shows that they’re not building an MMO and that, at some point – if they survive that long – they are going to stick with the instanced session based gameplay style. e.g. they’re now charging in-game currency for re-spawning ships! Not to mention that the nature of the current “missions”, ensures that the game has to remain local instanced. Which means, definitely no MMO of any kind.
As I mentioned in my latest Condition Red blog, there is no way they can build an MMO as pitched, from the current engine architecture. It's simply not possible.
More importantly, five years, $114 million dollars later - and 18 months overdue, the elephant in the room is the ToS v1.2 which has serious ramifications, come June 1st. Sources are telling me that they're going to change it. And how they are planning on doing it, why, and how they intend to push it out, is the focus of a new blog that I'm writing.

Hey...Derek(if that's you)....well I for once don't expecting anything good any more from CIG....I think that they will probably manage somehow to finish SQ42 which is going to be full of cut-scenes and it will feel more as a (B-SF)movie than a game..but beside that I give up on SC FM or better controls...Even if they manage to build PU that will work at all I doubt that will be anything close to what was pitched years ago...and yeah CIG money grab at this point is so obvious that feels a bit unpleasant to watch some of their faces lately....

Nope, that was just concept art.
Good god the physics are horrible. I wonder when they are going to get around to fixing that, they have been broken since AC released.
Hm? It's working for me.
I think the point 1500 is making is that the ship moves only slightly when smashed into by a careening ship of enough size that it should send it into a spin.
I think the fact that something with mass and velocity and rotation hits something with mass, but no velocity and rotation; with the result that 1 object explodes and the other sits unmoved and unscathed is a little troublesome :/
as no serious discussion is intended, just deleted my post, more fitting*

You should watch the video again. Or any video of SC. It has never had correct physics.

Maybe the physics model is so realistic, it's percieved as being bad?
The collision makes a little more sense if it is occurring under water.
Don't know if you are THAT guy or not, anyway SC to me has turned away from the idea and now try to copy as much from other games as possible. The flip flop to PG worlds and proclaiming better tech than anyone else out there, is just another sign of lost reality from CIG.
After dozens of mentions from your anti-fanbase in this thread, it's amusing to see the man himself stroll in. So, Derek - what do you think their next move is? If putting in clothing shops took six months, what do we get at the end of the year? Ship sales and currency purchases? I figure they won't have much else this year except a S42 trailer next month and another at CitizenCon with a 2017 date teased.

Just a bit of (mostly baseless) speculation: I don't think CIG started pushing PG just because they are in a blind dash to copy other games, but because it's one of the development streams that isn't being interrupted by Chris Roberts' attempts to micromanage everything. I guess some guys have been working at PG algorithms somewhere in Germany, and when CIG needed to show some tangible progress somewhere, their work was just presentable enough to be shown.
Well we already know they are working on a ship sales floor. Sadly they have stated that Item 2.0 has taken priority over doing real physics, not that it even had correct physics, so who knows how even more removed SC will be from reality. Its funny that Goat Simulator is making fun of SC when SC was already close to be a parody of Goat Simulator in its own right.
