I think I've seen enough of SC to come to the conclusion that the engine isn't suitable for the dream.txt that has been sold to the backers.

That's not the point. SC always was a screenshot generator. Problem is - this is new rendering. CI-G spent resources on remaking that, and it doesn't make SC any closer to release.
Business as usual for CRobber, though.
The tech experiment has always looked gorgeous, it's the game part where it all falls down.
I know they wereI was just clarifying, because I am far from hating. Ridiculing, as deserved, yes. Hating? Nah, hate is a destructive feeling
Yeah I really "hate" how freely some people apply the term but it cant be helped, better use it to make some fun and hope its not getting misunderstood
Its true, if your focus is visual and you have 300+ millions and a legion or art developers at your disposal things tend to look beautiful. Just a shame that this is the only thing SC has going for it right now. I mean people expect a game at the end and not just a good looking game...remember...Star Citizens visual appeal was only ever a secondary bonus....the quality of the game in terms of scope, immersion and gameplay was what made all the people go crazy. And today none of those things is there
Chad McPipeline will soon open the valves and when the content flows out all you haters will be struck with awe and go mute and silent.
I wonder if Zyloh was able to contain his excitement yet. Too much is not so good. If you keep up those high levels of excitements you just end up needing more and more and extreme hits.
Yay, someone put it on the sub

The lack of rage-y pushback to any frothy derision is really notable these days. (Like the sub would enjoy a delay meme or 'everything's broken' post periodically. But it's more like a daily thing now / the temperature of the sub).

I think that is a good sign.
Don't worry, they'll set Tyler Napkin on it.
You see, people are testing the alpha. This is what its designed for. Nobody has any right to get upset over people testing it multiple times to confirm it indeed is a bug.
Its perfectly fine as long as everyone playing Star Citizen fully understands the only purpose of the alpha is to test things and should have no expectation of a stable experience.
Of course, all backers and CIG should do their upmost to stress this is the point of alpha and in no way to try and project that it is in any way meant to be played like a released game and that nobody should try and portray SC as some sort of playable game. Certainly no backers or CIG should try and convince non-backers to play it for a good time as though its something that is there to be enjoyed like a normal game. Certainly no backer or CIG should try and convince anyone that its a reasonably stable experience.
Well.... horse cucumbers. Yeah, CIG and backers have really screwed the pooch on that haven't they?

That quote is from July in 2015. The magic Germans planetary "revolution" was revealed only towards the end of the year, and that has been the pivotal event for many backers to use as a "go to" excuse for some key delays, i.e. "procedural tech planets has changed the game, this is not just a few landing zones anymore" etc.
Seeing all that has happened since, I would actually argue that CIG was possibly fully aware they would not be able to deliver SQ42 in 2015 as announced at the time, never mind the mmo part, and so I would not be at all surprised if they might have come up with a "game changer" that any field related dev at the time could have probably put together with the available off shelf tools, and use it to justify additional delays. Basically a repeat of the 2014 delays based on scope growth.

Had to give that a like, just for the correct use of 'is'
The bigger concern wasn't that was what they were dreaming up was realistically implementable but even if it was realistically implementable would it actually be fun
The imagination to make the Mix Master fun game play
So true, in hindsight it looks like the idea of Star Citizen was too big for Chris Roberts to grasp in its complexity, thats why he never seemed to come out on top of it but always were limping a few steps behind
How many times has that happened now?
On spectrum backers discuss the stats that were recently done.

Naturally some are trying to dismiss the data, probably because 720k backers sounds a lot worse than the million or more they thought there was.
But here's an interesting tidbit.
I wonder how widespread this is, and whether it has a significant impact on the data.

I could not find this posted anywhere else, but if it has been then link to it and I will delete this post. According to an article by Massively Overpowered, someone on Reddit used a script to...
