Keep cool, I was just responding to ECity demanding what I think if the SC development stop at 3.10.
If so, for me, there will be no SC but another game.
SC to be called SC need to be a MMO with big multicrew ships.
But CIG will not stop at 3.10, no need to worry about it.
Getting down below the cosmic background radiation temperature is impressive!
Those Microtech folks really know their stuff. I hear their security is top-notch, too - they've even got phase shifting technology to walk through solid objects! Those attacking them do sometimes have trouble putting vent covers down, though...
“Enceladus is mostly covered by fresh, clean ice, making it one of the most reflective bodies of the Solar System. Consequently, its surface temperature at noon only reaches −198 °C (−324 °F), far colder than a light-absorbing body would be.”
Yeah, it gave me a laugh as well and I have 10 years in Software R&DAnd what if I actually am a seasoned software engineer, with practical experience in gamedev?
. Also tempted me to put in a reply in spectrum but I would just get moderated.PS. You really do get to work on stuff that is 5 years out from what is currently available in R&D, however it is alternatively called Risk and Danger for good reason. Database Administration is a much more stable career
I read the diffusion doco and found it interesting that it adds to your AWS charge. Latest version is no longer available from the AWS market place and you have to deal direct with the company now it seems. I once tried to guess what ED/Frontier were having to pay for the services they use in AWS but gave up. Those in the commercial/government space tell me it is not cheap.
Seriously, I was meaning to reply to this and agree, in a completely awestruck way, what, 2 weeks ago? thats ~60 sheets ago btw.
I think I've spent half as much time reading these posts over the years, as have played ED (which is nearly 4000 hours) which is far more than I've played SC ( actually anything else), obviously. I've tried to play SC maybe 500 hours, but probably have a total of 4 hours in there. I'd like to spend more, but every time I feel comfortable, and get this slightly elated feeling of "hey, this isn't so bad" the game crashes.
But that was the second post I was meaning to reply to....here goes the first, from a few days before that...
I think a number of folks who have been around a while, started out in a similar way, and it's almost like clockwork now, seeing the trend and over and over...and over the years, you start to wonder if it's ever going to change. i.e. will SC be stable for more than 10 minutes, or get a bit stable, then keep improving? I still try to log in once a week or so, but the result is mostly the same. I do have an old computer though, which is shy 2 cores the requirement, but has upgrading a PC effected anyones game crashes?
Wow. Is this really true? According to CTT @1:08, the whales are the ones who're now saying

If the whales can be thinking like that, then what's in store for the franchise if the megalodoon $46M+ backer whale Calder brothers decide to go down the elitist AAA publisher route? Given the fact they're the single biggest investors who own 10% of the company, and the only whales to date who have a seat on Board of Directors? What's to stop them from demanding Chris transform SC into the practical, industry standard cash grab machine? Something that would earn investors genuine billions in profit i.e. releasing a macro transaction ridden, poorly optimized MVP the likes of an ultra high fidelity graphics GTAO or Candy Crush?
Basically, what the hell is driving this sort of narcissistic and elitist mindset all of a sudden? If CR decides to listen and make this the new gospel in the next patch update? Because decisive talk like this will likely turn the SC fan base inside out and tearing itself apart.
CR has already shown prejudicial treatment of whales over the poorer $50 - $500 peasant backers. So if CR makes the mistake of taking his whales seriously on this latest bit of elitist bum nuggetry, then cyber crap is going to hit the fan. For that would be the absolute definition of insanity^2

Played up to three hours straight with org mates on a Saturday with 3.9, so it can be stable.
That stated, I'd not be tempted into trading - the 30K Pirate organization is far too deadly a foe.
... in reply to the post just above mine - I'm a whale, and IMO that opinion is bovine feces.

I've done tons of trading/mining grinding money for parts etc.
I've never been killed by a player in game trading/mining*.
The amount I've lost to 30k's is off the charts.
*except a couple times at jumptown doing solo runs, but that was part of the fun
Since the heady days of 3.7...before 'persistence'... where I regularly gave millions away to newbies about a week before a wipe, I've haven't been able to acrue any significant amount of aUEC since 3.8...where constant 30k's turned me into a virtual pauper in 2 days. I'm sitting at about 500k or so in the live build although saying that, I've spent a couple of millions on ship upgrades and ship purchases... which would all be for naught if I had to do a character reset of course. I haven't played much at all due to the sheer number of 30k's, constant threat of having to do a reset to recover from bugs, mining not working or just plain distraction from other games in my library that actually work. I don't recall ever rage quitting a game due to sheer frustration with persistent crashes and bugs...like ever. Seems SC has produced another first.
Unless they fix the current bugbear for me in 3.10, namely the FPS crashing to a slideshow when I'm mining needing a rage quit to sort out...I won't be putting much time into it either. The current fascination with combat oriented pursuits to the detriment of everything else from Ci¬G aren't for me either...unlike you and many others, it's just not my thing, never will be.

I think "according to CTT" is the key phrase here. He gives no source, and one of the YT comments seems appropriate:
I never go on the PTU, waste of time. As for hammerheads, i've killed a few... Maybe you should calm down and check the tone of your remarks.
What heresy is this? SC was promised to be BDSSE, not MMO.
It looks like it failed to be the former, but it just physically can't be the latter, as the engine simply doesn't support that. 16 players per instance was great in 2008, okay in 2012, but now we have Battlefield and various Battle Royales that had dwarfed that number into Not So Massively. And when multiplayer interaction essentially ends at 8-player ship vs another 8-player ship, it's not MMO by mechanics, it's MOBA.
Fun fact: you are currently enjoying non-SC game, because current state of this software is not a MMO. More spicy is that you are content with that, as the only thing you want is a more stable server

Your fun fact is just evident fact. Yes, what I enjoy now is not SC yet, it's an alpha in development. SC will be the real SC only when in beta.Fun fact: you are currently enjoying non-SC game, because current state of this software is not a MMO.

'the only thing you want' : absolutely false, try not to speak for me. I want a lot more (mmo, components, salvage...). But I'm a grown man and I can enjoy what I have now, even in it's unfinished state.
