I would be misleading if I said people can walk in ED cockpits because only VR players can do it and there is no gameplay (like exploration in SC).

He tries very hard to be positive about everything, but sometimes he gets a bit salty.
You did say that but of course we did not take you literally, I presume we all understand that you were not trying to mislead potential ED buyers, but making a point about about dedicated gameplay features (or lack of them) in ED and SC.
When the Evocati have finished testing, I will be exploring the hopefully improved Grim Hex, and any other new locations that they add in the future, both on foot and from the fantastic view from my starter ship cockpit. I do not mean to lead people to think that I have an exploration scanner or other such device. Just the simple pleasure of seeing something new for myself. I invite you at the next free fly to give it a go! (without having to add to CR's retirement fund). I doubt it will be as good as seeing earth from orbit in ED VR, but still worth a look. I note that you say that you do not own the game, why not give it a go on the next free fly week?

I have no interest in the game. I'm interested in the pathological behavior of Chris Roberts, the surrounding drama and the eventual glorious collapse.
I don't think anyone is here to make fun of SC and the people who enjoy it.
I enjoy SC. Very few IT projects have filled me with so much mirth. A decade in, a third of a billion dollars in funding, and it's not even been released yet because absolutely everything needs constant rework before it is fit for release, yet all their development time is spent of making jpegs and shiny videos of already outdated concepts
Remember that lovely Vandull showcase video they did years ago to try and convince people actual work had been performed? Waste of time, money, and effort - as all of it has been refactored into oblivion and back multiple times. The constant reworks themselves need constant rework as CI-G has absolutely no design documentation in place, as evidenced by the designs of absolutely everything needing constant rework. Perhaps worst of all, none of this constant rework of ever-changing assets and "in-'Verse physicality" is worth the pixels they are composed of until there is a functional and fit-for-purpose network architecture and implementation to make a multiplayer game with the claimed 1000+ player environments with a suitable infrastructure to back it. Until they have that, everything else is just spilled shandy in the wind.
You just can't make this kind of thing up.

Is ther a date for the next freefly?
Yeah...Mike is good.
Nobody expects the ECity inquisition!
So, what have we learned today?
That they still haven't decided on what laser fire from vandull ships should look like 8 years after kickstarter and 6 years after SQ42 was almost finished.
A whole word salad about using SSE... something that has been around since early Pentium days (but it sounds good, backers will lap it up and think they understand game development)
They are still working on hair.
Combat bartender! "They also began leveraging the usable system functionalities of the bartender in a combat scenario." I'm sure there is the making of a Stallone or Shwarzenneger film here.... possibly Van Damme. They really love that bartender AI!
Once again, 6 years after CIG said SQ42 was almost finished, just needed a bit of polish. 6 years after CR at citizencon said he would put SQ42 up against any other AAA game out there.
Since not everyone here follows the refund sub, i'll share these gems done by QuaversAndWotsits.
Hoping for more!

Apparently the bartender is with Evocati
So, basically after 3 years of working on this and hyping it up, they have achieved an AI on the level of something that could be whipped up in an afternoon by a comptent dev.
I'm not even a competent dev but i could whip up an AI like this (hell, better with more features) in NWN2 using NWScript in a few hours.
Well done CIG! Once again you show how its possible to make something simple into something incredibly complex.

There does seem to be an inability to see the wood for the trees.
As a side note, the bartender AI won't be realistic unless I'm positively the last sentient being to be served.

So basically, it needs you to be what Chris Roberts was supposed to be.
... With CR above your shoulders at all times. Or if he's allegedly out, with the burden of all these technical debts.
