Maybe they had to pay 115$ to actually take part in development, would at least explain some things. /cynism
I am not mean!
You won't get away with it in SC. If you post a video pointing out the games flaw you'd just get death threats.
Boom boom!
Of course not! It will be more fun, engaging, require skill and will put any other game to shame.

To be blunt, they could have made CryEngine work. Other MMOs have used it.
The trick is, CryEngine isn't designed - wasn't even intended - to support MMO style games. It's focussed on multiplayer, not MMO. So any MMO can work with CryEngine - so long as you are prepared to put the work into replacing CryEngines netcode.
Developing a new engine from scratch is the ideal answer. Still is.
But once Chris Roberts decided to expand the game, he needed to upgrade it to a 64 bit system, replace the animation and rendering systems, make changes to the physics engine, replace the AI, netcode and server integration modules, and so on.
For whatever reason, CIG were unable or unwilling to do this in an orderly manner. They insisted on developing the game at the same time...without basic design or prototyping work carried out....and they insisted the engine continue to run this game.
But, they have an engine which they are effectively rewriting from scratch, which is expected to run and support a game that they are also developing at the same time, and that engine must also accept any changes, enhancements and upgrades while offering an acceptable gaming experience to the public.
Frankly, I am somewhat amazed the game is running as well as it is, given the apparent restrictions the devs are working under.
But there comes a time when all good things come to an end. If the engine is as problematic as some CIG devs suggest, then scrapping it entirely and starting again seems to be the only viable option left open to them to develop and deliver the game.
Top physics !
Isn't this a shameless copy of Elite's mining mechanics ?

Nope, you have to make sure the graph on the left stays in the bounds.
It's good that the "open development" means we don't have to rely on draconian NDA covered Evacoti leaks to find out about upcoming content. Also, I'm pleased to see they have successfully simulated the feeling of getting back from the pub, loosing your keys and trying to get in through a back window only to realise your climbing around inside an industrial waste pipe.

Well that was just stupid! Also what is it with all the 3rd person views in these videos? It looks more like a console game!

As for any Star Citizen activities? Wait, What? There's more to do in SC than delusion, self denial and bank transactions?
The true surprise is on the left, 80-100 FPS.
I see people still having summer fun with SC fan theories.
I guess they didn't need NBC after all...
Or NMS. Or a ton of other games: press button until bar is (almost full).
Already scheduled for rework into Mining 2.0 now they've seen what ED has planned no doubt!
Wait? Are they seriously using a mining laser? Is that how "creative" they can be? How sad.
I love the way the ships still seem to have no mass or inertia or any kind of physics.
