I read a while back somewhere that this year the Gamescom showing was supposed to be more like a meet 'n greet with beers and stuff. Maybe I'm thinking about a different show but I thought it was Gamescom which would explain the whole just having streams showing off and a small booth for people to hang out around watching the various bugs pop up but hopefully getting the attendees so sloshed that they forget about the dismal showing.
I guess that shoots the whole "just wait until Gamescom this year they'll really show off something great there" in anticipation of the release of SQ42 this year - which obviously isn't going to happen and was so far fetched when it was being stated that those who believe it clearly live in an alternate reality.
And.. geez, it gets even worse for them if they don't have anything new or inspiring to show since I just noticed the dates. No Man's Sky will have just been released two weeks prior and will either have tons of praise which will reflect even worse on the current state of development with SQ42 at the very least not to mention SC as a whole, the other option is NMS is a bland flop but some impressive bits that SQ42/SC will still need to demonstrate it can do better.

Was thinking the same thing.
Recently they've talked about the Stanton system and also talked about canyon flying on PG planets etc. I was hoping we would see some of this rather than just being told how wonderful it is.

im actually worried about Ben.
Morbid obesity is you know Morbid. I hope he survives since sepsis has 15% chance to kill the patient
If he survives i hope he looks for change in lifestyle.
I wish best luck for him. I feel like star citizen is source of stress for him and he should step back from project. Its not good for his health
(just look at ben pictures from before the project and compare to current picture. Its pretty clear that Ben stress eats)

I know he's just Roberts' employee, but shouldn't the whole atmosphere in the office be a lot more lax than in other companies? They aren't beholden to anyone, they can't fail, because they already go paid. They can literally stop all the development and go live in apartments laden with gold and cocaine, as long as they don't announce anything they don't have to be issuing any refunds. Besides, it's all donations... right?
Do note that. That ben regards chris highly as creator of wing commander. The sheer pressure of having to deal with creation of wing commander 5 might be getting to ben. Alternatively it could be pressure of having to downplay what has been promised and ben is taking it bit too heavily.Either case its not good for ben's health.
I don't think we should talk about the possibilities of death of someone... but he seems to be making progress.im actually worried about Ben.

Of course they can fail, they want to deliver the game, a great game, they don't want to fail to the many supporters they have. Obviously there is stress.

So back on subject.
I wonder if they'll have the pirate station be a weapons free zone. It would make sense since they are the scum and villainy of the galaxy(awesome parties tho). But I would be concerned it would make those areas a huge target to get in and mess up any ships real fast then head back to olistar and be untouchable.
Will require a lot of balancing maybe, maybe pirates can alter their computer for weapons free at olistar, and if you're a law abiding citizen olistar will lift the weapons lock...my head hurts.

They haven't even gotten to the point of ships having locks on them so that only their owners can use them. I doubt they've thought about what to do with a pirate station, just that they will make one.
Sadly this is probably true. But if they watch these forums it might get them thinking about it. Can only hope, right?
Well, I'm back from suspension.
Considering that this game is a global game kind of makes you wonder why you posted that comment. Also convoluted isn't synonymous with being complex. Convoluted means that something is all over the place in a complex way
If you quoted the rest of what I posted, you would see that we both agree. This is what I said "The description of a sub-par product is purely subjective. What you may find sub-par, others may like. The only way to objectively judge if a product is 'sub-par' is by taking an aggregate of the overall opinions."
Yup, you're right! I didn't read that you quoted yourself, my bad.
If I may ask, when did you back?
So you call into question my neutrality because??
I have my own grievances but they are minor, or at least minor to me. The ToS thing is concerning but it doesn't effect me because I knew when that money left my bank account, I wouldn't want it back. I am getting antzy about the length of development but I also know that games take time to "complete". With that said, I'm not going to get concerned until 2018 because CIG should have something out by then. I do find it asinine that they sell ships that aren't finalized but again I know things change in games. Everything else is little quirks I have noticed but don't really care about.
You probably shouldn't be posting on a UK forum as you don't have the relevant experience.
How can something be extremely complex and one dimensional?!

Middle of 2013. I didn't just back, I placed an order. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...d-v5/page389?p=4238799&viewfull=1#post4238799
I called into neutrality based on the response you provided.
How is that different from other FPS games claiming that they want to out perform CoD. Regardless if they do or don't, seems like you're cherry picking just so you have something to complain about.
I'm using satire to point out how illogical your belief is that only people who are games developers...oh it doesn't matter. If you get it you get and if you don't you don't.

You might want to have a think about those two sentences...
Pure FPS games claiming to surpass other pure FPS games is one thing, a multi-genre single player game which happens to be a side project alongside a multi-genre MMO surpassing one of the most successful pure FPS games is quite something else. It's like FD claiming before horizons launched that SRV driving on planets would surpass Spintires in off road mechanics.
Here is a direct quote from your post "Of course, S42 will be released in the next 5 months according to Roberts. I'm looking forward to seeing what secret build they have up their sleeve, or at least how the game magically starts working and being fun when netcode(tm) isn't an issue". That to me seems like you're commenting about SQ42 and not the MMO Star Citizen.
Nope, using a winky emoticon/emoji doesn't mean that my argument is irrefutable. I'm using it as a tongue and cheek way to signify something that is a fact and true. Word of advice, don't over analyze things.

This is true but that doesn't make your opinion any more/less right. It's just an opinion and, like I said previously, to gather an objective opinion about something it's best to take an aggregate of the supplied opinions. Most people I have read or watched seem to enjoy Star Citizen so I think the average is their favor whether this game is good or not.
Yeah, but that's just your opinion.
It's not and it's also really dumb when they claim it. Especially when it comes from a newly started company that hasn't released anything other than a buggy mess. I'm still looking forward to the vaulting and parkour Chris promised back in the start of the year.
