Yeah, it's funny how they think 10-15 people in one thread are enough to draw Elite's playerbase away from criticizing the game.

This is indeed all very fishy.

https://www.reddit.com/user/crazzyassbtich

crazzyassbtich 4 points an hour ago By allowing derek smart to continue posting ED forums the mods have confirmed that they accept the attention and drama derek smart brings to their game. By allowing that SC hatred thread to continue the ED mods and development team have stated to the community that they accept the hatred of their community towards another game and developers.

  • derek smart has a long history of stalking and harassing people online.
  • With SC specifically derek smart has sexually harassed and stalked Sandi Gardiner a marketing VP at CIG.
  • derek smart has linked to Sandi Gardiner's young girls on his twitter feed.
  • derek smart has insinuated in his blogs and twitter feed that Sandi Gardiner is an escort and has done .
  • derek smart has doxxed multiple people including Sandi Gardiner.
This is just a minuscule list of the derek smart has done online.
ED and ED MODS gave this harasser, this stalker, this doxxer A HOME to post his vitriol.
ED and ED MOD have condoned this behavior by giving him a voice.
ED and ED MODS by allowing that SC hatred thread to continue while closing other threads with similar comments have signled to the community that their nastiness is acceptable.
ED AND ED MODS CONTINUE TO GIVE derek smart A STAGE AND A HOME TO CONTINUE HIS HARASSMENT AND STALKING CAMPAIGN.
ED AND ED MODS are complicit in furthering derek smart's agenda.
crazzyassbtich 1 point 21 minutes ago You don't think its fishy that mods on that forum board are so quick to shut other threads down, hand out bans for the most minor of infractions are doing zero policing on that Star Citizen hatred thread. The only time mods do any modding in that Star Citizen hatred thread is to shut down someone telling derek to CENSORED off.
You don't think its fishy that the biggest thread now its its FIFTH version. The thread that has more activity than all other Elite threads combined does not have ED devs, and community managers wondering why that one thread is generating so much interest and posts. Elite "fans" on that forum board post more about Star Citizen there than they do their actual game. You don't think its fishy that all the devs haven't noticed a single thing? Are the mods lying to Elite devs about what is happening in their own forum boards?
A thread that massive is hard to miss. Yet no Elite dev knows about it. Or if they know about it are letting it continue. So does that mean Elite devs are just no longer interested in their own game and what the Elite fans are talking about?
I think I may have sussed it out though, apparently they can't make the connection between repeatedly telling Derek to CENSORED off and getting banned.

Stronger meds are needed, I've heard that cannabis got a positive effect on nervous behaviours!

It will be good to see the updated PG planet tech they have been talking about, particularly its going to be interesting for me to see what they've done and compare it to other PG tech like Infinity Battlescape, Space Engine, Elite and so on.

For all my doubts about the development of the game the tech part of it is still interesting.

The real test comes of course, not when they show the tech off, but when they release it to the public as a live build.

Agree on all points, especially the last! :)

Hmm, it seems as though this was a necro of an old RSI sale, rather than something specifically happening at Citcon?... Maybe it was resurrected to show how they justify $750+ Jpeg sales? After all the Javelin isn't in the alpha yet, two years later?

The Idris isn't in Alpha 4 years later...

Your correct every group has wacko's. Its just is that CIG moderation policy of the official forum has turned it into echo chamber for these wacko's.
I mean ED fan's dont do death threads against anyone who says negative things about ED. SC fans have done several against derek smart and his family, Against streetroller who was a cripple
Then there was the whole debacle when they went after a guy, who was going trough a chemotherapy.
star citizen fans just cant handle criticism at all.
Its like Scientology, but with goal being imaginary space instead of real space

In fact i dare you to replace word star citizen with Scientology in this video
https://youtu.be/GxBZ2B9DSmQ
Does the video make equal amount of sense?

Not everyone is wacko however, some are just too heavily invested in this project.
Like that girl on the video they are just saying generic stuff you can apply to everything to describe the project.
They cant answer what makes this project so special, other than citing the "community".
A community that helps them dream of perfect space sim and what it will be. Regardless of the reality whats been promised or what has been implemented.
They are basically describing star citizen as this religious experience.
Click to expand...

So you're basically making a logical fallacy in that you are equating a small extremist sub-set of a group and having them be representative of the whole group instead of making the distinction that they are only a small part of the entire group. What you're doing is the same thing that conservatives in the US do to demonize Islam. Let's be clear, I'm not advocating that we should ignore their actions; however, what I am saying is that we shouldn't mis-characterize a community simply because there some overly-passionate people within.

You know the same thing was said 2 years ago when those mishaps actually happened.
Everyone with functional brains just sees that they finally admitted that they had issues. There is nothing that tells us that things are better.

Remember what 2.2 was promised to be http://www.scqa.info/?keywords="2.2"
  • And longer term for the first version of 2.0 we probably won't have a holotable available or a MobiGlas UI available for you to customise your ship while you are at Port Olisar or a space station or pad but that is the long term plan. So that will be in 2.2 or somewhere around there. And ultimately we're just trying to bring this all together fairly, actually, fairly soon, but we'll be able to… Port Olisar will just be a space station orbiting in the Stanton system and you'll be able to fly down and visit Crusader; or fly down and visit ArcCorp; or fly down and visit MicroTech; or fly and go visit Nyx
  • You could mix and match say breast plates or shoulder guards or armour padding on the legs and that absolutely will be based on physical hit location and the density and strength of the material you're hitter there that will come with the physically based weapon damage stuff that we will be working on. It's not going to be in 2.0 it will come when we bring the newer refactored items to the table which is likely to be probably 2.2 I would think
  • So 2.2 will have some more features on the FPS side and 2.3 will have some more and so on until we sort of what we consider the basic functionality. 2.2 has cover and some other things in it and we'll obviously have future, there's things like vaulting and sliding and different kind of stances that we have and there's a lot more weapons that we have and they're all getting rolled out and honing it and you guys are going to be able to play it in 2.2 and 2.3 and 2.4
  • I know turrets for us is actually one thing we're working to improve so a) that mode needs to be better and will be better; b) turrets need to be more responsive. We've been working it, I think you'll see some stuff in 2.2 that will improve it a bit and then we'll go forward with that: better UI; having the targets tracking a lot more information for your HUD; faster responding turrets; more natural …
  • Crusader's just a small part but really it's the Stanton system. You'll be seeing that in the next, not necessarily 2.2 but 2.3/2.4 onwards, it will be fleshed out to be Stanton and we'll have those distances in there and you'll be able to travel around areas, then eventually go down and land on some of the locations.

  • So as soon as we have the planetary transition; the procedural planet stuff that we've shown, in a state that we're sharing with everyone out there, which isn't going to be that far away, it'll be sooner than you guys think then you won't have any of this loading in separately to ArcCorp. So you'll just go to the planet, and then you'll fly down, and get landing permission, and land in the landing area, get out and move around, interact with people, buy things, and get missions, and get back in your ship and fly back.

    So that is the goal and that is what we're trying to do. So the process is like you've already seen, well you haven't necessarily but in the PTU people have seen that we've rescaled Crusader and this is true on 2.2 but essentially that's going to start changing and that will be Stanton system over the next few releases that we're doing. So we'll build out ot be Stanton and then we'll be going between the different areas and planets on Stanton, the space stations, and then ultimately when all that's working and we've got various missions and a lot of the echo system working and we open up and have jump points and then we'll move into some other systems.
  • So what we're doing, I think I've mentioned this quite a few times, is on the FPS side we have a whole bunch of features and weapons that we're just methodically going through and enabling. A lot of it is content related: so getting the animations polished before we feel like they are ready for everyone to see or use, and the same on the assets. And some of it is making some of the mechanics work or move a little better. So we've got things vaulting, like going vaulting over obstacles and stuff, that isn't going to be in 2.2 but it will be in 2.3 for instance.

    And so what we've been doing is knocking off the cover mechanic; things like prone or crouching; and various things in 2.2. We have physicalised EVA which is actually really cool, you get a real sense of inertia; you have to be a bit more wary in tight areas because we're actually properly simulating so it is like flying around a spaceship in a tight area: you don't really want to bang up against things because it will give you a bit of an impulse. But when you get it down I think it cooler and more exhilarating and we'll be adding more and more things that will make that cooler.

I find all those unfulfilled timelines pretty worrying.
unless they cracked the pipeline finally in 2.5 i really cant find this progress promising at all.

I will grant you that CR was optimistic with those predictions, however, with the imminent release of 2.6 and Star Marine, most of those functions will be within the 2.x version stream. So yes they weren't in the 2.2; however, someone probably decided to lump all those into Star Marine's release which IMHO is prudent.

Ah so that's why this thread and most comments are of a dull lustre?

Thanks for the heads up, I did go back quite a few pages trying to find something other than the usual crud, I really don't see the point in the bashing myself. It's not enough to like something/someone..people have to hate on something/someone else. Quite a bad reflection on society IMO.

It's a fair cop gov - but society is to blame!

Though I do think you're confusing standard pith taking with hatred somewhat.

If you want SC news in this thread all you need to do is filter on Rolan's name - like this..
