Thank you for admitting that 3.0 is going to be delayed
Can you elaborate this with more details on what exactly you referring here?
My opinion so far was that CIG have made significant and measurable progress in the past year and it is expected that this will continue.
Mr. Smart on the other hand claimed that the game is in so called maintenance mode.
Here the reference to this statement.
I disagreed with this statement.
As can be seen here. there was significant and measurable progress on the project. 13 patches were released in the past 10 months that included also new game mechanics like test currency, repair and refuel system, updated on FPS part, persistence and others.. Hardly something that can be called maintenance mode.
Luckily my payment does not depend on your believes. Also please stay on topic. My work for the company I am employed to is nothing that is of interest for this discussion. The only relevant information here is that I am part of the gaming industries and am familiar with some processes and workflows.
Ever since the stretch goals were first created Chris has always said not everything will make it into the launch of the game. This is exactly what he meant when he said "MVP." The MVP of Star Citizen will include all the fundamentals of what the game is meant to be, which includes basic professions such as trading, cargo hauling, mining, and bounty hunting/mercenary work. This also includes things like the working AI subsumption system and economy (referred to in the video as a "really good eco system.") Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJoHlCc4Y7E&feature=youtu.be&t=1442
Things like pets, hunting, and moddable private servers won't be in till after launch. You may be wondering how I've come to this conclusion, and it's simple. You look at the features they're working on right now, features that they've said are meant to be coming to the live game sooner rather than later. Those features include the AI subsumption system, which feeds into the economy of the game. This also includes grabby hands, seamless planetary transitions and mission threads that lead you to various location in both space and on planet surface, and the inner thought system. Now, I will admit that the features I claim will come after the MVP is released is largely assumption. But even the those that are completely skeptical of the project will admit that the MVP of Star Citizen won't have such features as hunting alien life on planets. A gutted empty Star Citizen wouldn't include such a robust feature.

SHOULD it be? As in, do I think if CIG deems it necessary should it be delayed further? Yeah, if it's not done, it's not done. Obviously delays don't phase me at this point. But I also don't think this will happen, they seem rather confident that we're going to have 3.0's features in our hands relatively soon.
I don't mind admitting that. So long as we're clear it's not going to take a year to play what was shown at Gamescom. Also, I have a story for you to read, I think you'll like it. It's a short story written by Ray Bradbury called The Earth Men. It's a part of The Martian Chronicles. Give it a read

Yeah right, you do know the fans thought that way too? With all the interviews and videos ect...they had evidence too, or so they believed until they got the hands on it.
But what about the Jailbreak Space Crab? You know, the one folks paid for, to put in their hangar fishtank, and then it would escape and go hide in a dark corner somewhere while you were offline.
It will be a very long time before I forget that, that has to be one of the most bizarre and funny things ever about a computer game I have ever come across (simply because it is so random, ridiculous and harmless), thinking about it now is making me chuckle - I just find it hilarious.

Source? What metrics are you talking about?
You can't just make up random numbers.

Difference is, SC fans are actually playing the game before release so they know exactly to expect. They have tangible evidence. People hyped up for NMS only had videos and interview and no first-hand interaction with the game.
I guess most of the head avatars in Ice's vid post earlier are from Sq42, so they are seen as the tier X or premium avatars?
Maybe that is why there will be no need to scale so much for SC, other than the occasional shopkeeper, bartender or Pirate Lord?
At least showing new art is potential progress. When it gets in game (3.0?) it will be tangible progress.

Yes, because it is a place to talk about SC if/when they release something resembling a MVP game or at least something better than what currently exists. Because if you go to the RSI forums, it can only be puppies and sunshine about SC or else you get put "on probation" for almost a decade. https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/288411/beer4thebeergod-s-ban

Did you realise you absolutely didn't answer my question?
Ah... ops you're banned. Sorry.

Not what I meant, I was asking because the thread has been closed multiple times to clean up mess. Most of the topics consist of drama,politics and attacking users; it's like a circle going round and round.
What about the size of the verse, does the MVP consist of 100 systems? And what about the networking, can we still expect to play with 1000 people in the 'same instance'?
That's not true. Any recent supposed "proof" of false leaks has been proven false. Here's my source:
Well, in between the polar icecaps there are a few who offer either gentle encouragement or only mild ribbing of the game. It is a fascinating thing, on many levels.
Sometimes I think the forum game is more compelling than the actual game, but I am always a sucker for a good story!
Two weeks to CitCon, I'll be like a hopeless reality TV addict waiting for the new series of Stric'ly!

You know, it is actually quite interesting how this thread evolves (revolves). I've seen ardent, so called 'haters', be turned to mere skeptics and I've seen some of the most vocal boosters reigned in and begin to see the situation for what it is.
There are your poo flingers on both sides of the wall, but that is just fun
It is also interesting, to me, to see this as a sometimes extension of Derek Smart's blog. A lot of his points are good and solid though his characterization of things can tend to be hyperbolic. We also get Ben Parry in here from time to time, which is always refreshing.
It is an arena for misconceptions and ignorant statements to be flayed and exposed to all. Occasionally it descends into sniping and personal attack, but that is just par for the course!
The thread shall march on!

It would be better if it weren't for the constant influx of new accounts on some bizarre crusade to right the wrongs against SC, which if SC was any good it would stand on its own merits and not require zealots regurgitating the same marketing and demo nonsense over and over, that creates the circle because they come in with the same nonsense and we repeat exactly the same thing to them. Go back several hundred pages, each new account shows up solely to defend SC and only posts here and the same things get repeated to them.
If there were a way to lock this thread only to people who have accounts that have over a hundred posts in other areas of the forum or something, it wouldn't be in a constant cycle of the same... or you know if something tangible came out in the SC client that really showed progress and a solid game foundation.
I'm not sure if there will be anything tangible at the Citizencon, the more interesting thing is how much time will pass between 2.6 and 3.0.
Yeah all the heads look pretty good, can't complain about them. However the hair is lacking somewhat, hopefully they intend to improve it as it stands against some excellent visuals from the face and skin. It's somewhat out of place having less visual quality than what it is attached too.
