Whatever happens, I'm going to enjoy it.

Isn't it more weird to believe someone who has no proof than a game company who is doing live demos and showing off their code every week? I mean am I the only one that thinks that the actual thing you can see is more real than what you can't see and imagine? Since when do people believe people who claim things without any kind of proof?

New Note from Chris.

I've seen a CiG dev consorting with him in this very thread, you should report them both to the inquisition for "questioning".
Since they gave Chris Roberts money, I guess.
Weeks, not months. Soon. 1000s of players at once! End of the year. 2014. 2015. 2016. Make that 2017! VR support! Not a priority. It's now a priority. Wait, it's not a priority any more! Redacted and refactored for her pleasure.

I think it comes down to anyone who reads it is free to digest it how they will. Either strong belief, strong disbelief, or somewhere inbetween.
If it happens, he is accurate, if it doesn't he is inaccurate.
It is only people at the far ends of the spectrum who will get worked up about it. The middle ground will maybe make a mental note and see what happens in the spring
Anyway, about that old SC game thing: Is the reason for the info-runner payload being external to encourage emergent gameplay? I wonder if an ace pirate could snipe modules off the side and then chase the Inforunner off to then go EVA and rob them?...

Because obviously, the best way to carry a sensitive payload is to place it where it is guaranteed to never survive the trip. Fidelity, duh.
Unless you are on a board of directors at the highest level it's difficult to know how a company is doing financially. I've sat on many a development team where the plebs have speculated the employer is struggling in companies that continued for years afterwards or are still going. Even redundancies don't necessarily point to significant financial doom, certainly not in the games industry where making redundancies and reshuffling is considered normal strategy and in fact, companies that do it tend to be the ones that are still around. Star Citizen is so granular in it's organisation structure I can't imagine that anyone below the top brass knows much about the financial situation. They were certainly hiring for many positions just a couple of months ago.
How can you tell? Did the budget for bags run out?
I'll have to check the video out myself when I get home - but the more ships they introduce, the more I am left thinking "why?" as there are no game mechanics for even a tenth of them to make any sense.

Well, i guess the reason is because ok, you can do one of this false predictions, see it fail, and stop with the FUD strategy because, lets face it, it wont work. But the guy is doing it again, and again, and again, and again... The same kind of FUD stuff repeated year after year. How many times have CIG "supposedly" ran out of funds now? three? four? all false. Even when he said that "his goal is NOT to see SC fail", that statement was later proved to be false. So i guess that his attitude has ended up giving him a reputation, a bad one in fact, and that has caused many people to start making fun of him as a hobby.
@Asp Explorer, most of the ships released up to now are either starter ships, or ships which will be in Squadron 42. The rest of the ships released up to now seem to be examples of career oriented ships, so when they release the different career mechanics there will already be at least one ship well suited for each task.

Doesn't look very fun, that subreddit looks positively deranged. Do you want to point out anything especially fun there or are you saying all of it is fun? Are you a contributor?
I guess you can claim it's a mirror image of SA or something, but say what you will about goons -- they do have the fun part down. This? This just looks like a very strange obsession. Clicking on the top threads doesn't really provoke much laughter, but maybe my sense of humor is faulty.
Ah well. Back to Star Citizen... which IS funny.

so this week they showcased how damage tech worked in reality. https://youtu.be/soR5XR5Sybc?t=961
My guess about it being shader has been confirmed, which is actually cool stuff thats purely visually without any gameplay implications.Basically its a polish phase feature in pre-alpha game.
(remember elite dangerous has the damage state mechanics in without the visual, which is quite funnily opposite of star citizens approach)
Also here we can see how yet another bait and switch has happened
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkAaLd0FdK0
nothing after 1 minute in that video has survived into the pre-alpha version of this game
and parts before that 1 minute mark has been clearly simplified.
And theres even more to that. Chris has talked a lot about his procedural damage technology.

Also that brought me to fun little scope creep.
http://scqa.info/?show=10FTC&episode=54&qid=8
Space pets will have detailed damage modelling in place. Basically if you shoot a animal in leg that animal will limp around.
Later on after star citizens has been released they could expand that system so your pet could have cybernetic replacements.

Neither i approve nor disapprove. In fact, i learnt about that subreddit in this thread, days ago someone posted a link to it.
And no, it's not really fun that a guy is so obsessed with making a game fail.

Mediocre.
He didn't write it.
Mediocre.
That there's something bad happening can be seen from the fact that the goal is to reach the "MVP". This is an intermediate step towards the full release, which has no set date anymore. No matter whether you think Derek Smart is full of lies or completely wrong about things (even though it's interesting to see that the predictions he was right about, like the TOS change, are gleefully ignored...), the fact that the final product has no real release date anymore combined with the fact that any checks and balances have been removed from the TOS, should have you worried.
And oh btw, in that german forum people claim that the TOS wasn't changed. Or if it was changed, only "insignificant parts that only lawyers care about" have been changed.
Right.

copy right infringement, that is all I know and can say.
Smells like Banu merchantman concept art thing...
And your sources are very precise rght???Do I need to remind you that when I rise my concerns almost 3 years ago about the problematic Crytek netcode and overall bad multi player posibilities you claimed back then that this is going to be easy fix and CIG experts going to solved that in a matter of weeks not month´s...
Well it´s even better if I quote some of your wisdom words Mr. Nowak/quote:"That would be a slight issue if AC would be the only game section being developed. Which is not the case. Also as many many times said before go watch the DFM footage from 2013 and compare it to the one now the Level they have gotten to the amount of netcode work and build work they did was nothing like they planned last year. Initial release of AC was on cryengine mp code. They now have their own netcode running all across the globe and Hosting 450k People."-You claimed this back in 29.08.2014....very impresive indeed....well let´s go back in reality and move forward some 2+ years later we can see almost no improvements at all.....
