Fairy dust is effective, if you don't believe in magic you're a lost cause.
im just out here murdering free fly players. not sure what you are on about.
So, was just watching DG360's latest video and he noted a point that i had missed in CR's recent rant.
Chris Roberts said: Management doesn't dictate timelines
Now, of course, that might be cause for concern by itself, but it actually directly flies in the face of what they were saying a few years ago.
Remember how CIG used to say they intentionally set unrealistic deadlines for the devs in order to motivate them. At that time, i came out hard against that, saying it was crazy, but of course, on reddit the self-proclaimed project managers, developers, CTOs, etc, came out batting for Chris saying this is the right way to do things.
So, CIG are now claiming to be doing the opposite. I wonder if those self-same project managers/devs/CTOs are now coming out of the woodwork to say not dictating timelines is the right way to do things.

Also, quite interesting to hear CR talking about how many teams they have.
They have approximately the same number of teams dedicated to SQ42 and SC with a large number of teams working on common features.
So, for all those faithful claiming development on SC is slow because they are focusing on SQ42... well, CR's statement doesn't seem to support that.

I'd also like to focus on the part where he says "I will not compromise"
This is also a major warning sign.
Its a well known maxim in project management: Time, Budget, Quality - pick 2.
CR doesn't want to pick. He assumes he has unlimited time and budget and will not sacrifice on quality. He wants it all.
Should backers overall lose faith in the project, he loses time and budget and therefore will lose quality.
The problem here is he doesn't need to compromise in quality over the long term, but he has to be realistic about it. There is nothing wrong with focusing on getting a few core things done to a good level of quality, hitting release, showing you can deliver, and then people will have confidence, they will give more money, and they will give you more time.
He's fine as long as backers keep buying those spaceships (and whatever else they decide to sell). As long as he can keep the hype train running, CIG can keep going. But if this is his approach, then its also pretty much ensures the game will never see the light of day.

I haven't been killed by a ladder on a Freelancer or Prospector for over a year...not even slightly wounded or had my feelings hurt...nada
They what?

look at this shill! everyone knows you die to a freelancer ladder every time you try it!
No. Do they get a beacon marker?
Haven't you heard? It's back to early alpha according to Christopher. This is how iterations work: Tier 0 -> early alpha -> beta -> early alpha - > trash everything and redo everything from the ground. As we are at the end of 5-year cycle, we are approaching "trash everything" moment, beta phase is way past us.
Got Renegade points?
yes
and on the ground it is a full on wall hack that the bounty hunter gets.
Wow. How about noclip rounds?
