The Star Citizen Thread v9

You can already create player missions to request transport among other mission types & you choose the reward amount.

If you are armed you can of course shoot back if they only arrive to attack you.

The rating system will alert you of a "dodgy" player either way.

If the player logs off their ship persists (no p2p) so you could just take the pilot seat and fly the ship yourself.

Or you could just use your PvP Slider (tm).

My #1 gripes with this kind of stuff is that there is no need for a troop transport. They are barely able to get two NPCs to shoot at each other semi-reliably. There are not going to be large battles or wars needing troop transport. There is no design for it, there is no technical foundation for it, its just completely unreasonable. What you have is a few dudes shooting at a few other dudes, and literally ship where a few dudes can stand in is a 'troop transport' for all intents and purposes. This is the equivalent of FD releasing an alien cod liver oil refinery submarine in 3.3: sure, if there were waterworlds I could land in, with alien fauna, and oil I could extract and refine that would serve some kind of purpose in the game: great. But none of it exists in any way whatsoever so it is just nonsense.

I agree. This sort of depth in terms of roles and equipment belongs more in a proper combined arms multiplayer like WWII Online.

I mean you could configure it so the valkyrie acts like a mobile spawn point for its associated infantry and vehicles, but that sort of gamery seems counter to the core design of star citizen.
 


Love this one....

"Elite is like a pie, crust is pretty good and it's got a lot of filling. After a few slices it all begins to taste the same though, and not everyone can get through as many slices as another.

SC is like an undercooked cake, the base bit is undercooked and kinda gross, but the cake looks amazing and the frosting is delicious. You can't stomach a whole slice but you are told that when the cake finishes cooking it's going to be god damn amazing. In the meantime you are just scraping the frosting off because it's so good."

Someone needs to explain to them that you don't ice the cake while it's still cooking...
 
Got Mexican takeout for tonight and preparing to watch todays RTV - I wonder how many lulz it will contain :D

Nearly 20 minutes in - and it's all guff and mince.

Oh dear $Deity - this is guff and mince to the power of doner kebab. I can't wait to go into combat in my female-only cocktail dress with my unique ArcCorp genetic phenotype. You can't make this up.

I think the problem clearly is that you can.

Capes. Yeah, that's what SC needs.

Capes.
 
In 2013 it wouldn't be surprising. in 2018 it's just sad.

Well, that's the breaks with such publicly available schedule. Without big in-depth understanding what actually each label means it is hard to extract any understanding about what 100% means...in this case does it mean first version of code is in? Workable version is in? Bug free version is in?
 
I can't.



Dear dear $Deity - that seriously needs a Loreville lyric rework :D

Ask and ye shall receive...

I wish I could fly to a different star but I can’t,
You can,
I can’t!
I wish I could see what folks see in me but I can’t,
You can,
I can’t!
Look, Lorville,
Yes?
Nothing that you can say
Will change how I code today:
I know that we’ll never launch;
Now hear what I’m saying, Lorville?

Yes?
Who are your very best friends?
Whales are.
I’m gonna help you milk your broken game.
Thank you.

I wish that I had persistance and loops but I don’t,
You don’t?
I don’t!
I often pretend my flight model works but it won’t,
It will
It won’t!
Look, Lorville,
Yes?
Now that I’m here with you,
There’s nothing that you can do,
So why don’t you make a start
And hear what I’m saying, Lorville?

Yes?
Who are your very best friends?
Whales are.
I’m gonna help you milk your broken game.
Ahhh…

So does this mean although I’m naff
with net code made of rags,
They want to give me money,
To spend on new handbags?
Well, They’ll always be there, Lorville!

The other games laugh and say that I’m daft and I am,
You’re not!
I am!
They think I'm a sham and call me the scam that I am,
You’re not!
I am!
Look, Lorville?
Yes?
Nothing that you can say
Will change how I code today:
I know that we’ll never launch;
Now hear what I’m saying, Lorville?

Yes?
Who are your very best friends?
Whales are.
I’m gonna help you milk your broken game.


Thank you. ‘Cos I’ve got a broken game, haven’t I?
Yes, I know, but I’m going to help you milk it.
You, you will do it, won’t you. You’ll help me?
Of course.
‘Cos you love bags, don’t you?
We all love handbags, Lorville.
How, how, how much do you love handbags?
Ooh… this much!
As much as that?
Yeah.
Ahhh… my broken game...

Also: RIP Keith Harris... :(
