Given the ensuing personal involvement of Chris in SQ42, I think I need to pull the trigger on Rebel Galaxy / Outlaw while waiting for Everspace 2

I was watching a Matt Colville stream before I bought the game. Basically he said, "Original backers have a right to be ed. But that's not me. I bought in knowing what it is and I'm having fun with it."
That's pretty much where I am. I bought Mass Effect: Andromeda BECAUSE it was a train wreck with broken animations. I enjoyed the game a lot less when they fixed that stuff (and never finished playing it).
I can have a good time with a shambles moving somewhat together in a fun way.

Yep, a new generation to the old generation: so long, suckers, and thanks for all the pledges.
Hey, that's my aspiration for Odyssey! Procedural characters with ill-fitting limbs...
I'm still annoyed that they didn't add procedural voices. I wanted to buy contraband from 'Purple Beard with pig voice'
This'll have to do for now...
Sleep well, don't buy jpegs
With statements like that, this chap should be polishing his CV.
Pretty much confims the suspicion that CE needs almost entirely replacing to be useful in the SC context. Having to do that with a "live" product in the wild and with most of CE being undocumented means protracting a normal development timeline exponentially. To paraphrase a contemporary mogul "its like trying to change the tyres, whilst the car is doing 80 mph".
$0.5billion is nowhere near enough...
Then the PetiteFourmi's "Star Engine is so much different CryEngine knowledge isn't a prerequisite for newcomers anymore" assumption can be seen in a different light. And if you add allegedly regular turnovers and layers of badly documented spaghetti code, there's no prerequisite knowledge that could help a newcomer, apart from an appetite for suffering.

With 720 people, no matter how we estimate it (employees, contractors), they are easily burning through 75M annually.
What about the settlements, its there framerate takes the biggest hit.
35 to 50-ish...small drops here and there but it's better than it was. If I cut the supersampling down a tad more or dropped the terrain detail sliders a bit I'd be knocking out more frames...but having first played ED on the Xbox for a year or so at a fixed 30fps...I'm good with how things are with my settings. Put it this way, it's no worse than Star Citizen without too much mucking about with detail levels. All I've done since I last played Horizons on my old PC set up (i7 8700k/ GTX 1080ti) was to drop the supersampling from 2.0 to 1.0, everything else is still set where it was

In my defense, I've only been a backer since 2018.
Seriously, though, some of us just wanted an updated, slightly expanded version of Freelancer.
Which was the original original scope which they said they could do for 5.5 million. Yet, here we are, at close to 10x that, and still don't have the slightly expanded version of Freelancer. And i mean, the version of Freelancer that Microsoft actually delivered, not the Freelancer that CR said he would deliver.
Close to 100x

What's a zero between friends?
I title this post: How to be obvious about being a shill.
Just took a mission to destroy some narcotics. Cool?
Went down to the base. MUCH more successful on killing guys this time (sniper rifle). Then... They want me to destroy three hundred and sixty seven individual boxes of narcotics?
In disbelief, I shoot a few and, sure enough, the counter ticks down. Knife works, arc cutter works, so... okay. After killing all the guys I start destroying them. Get bored. I see some oxygen tanks around so I was thinking of stacking them all up on the oxygen tanks, throw a few flares around and shoot them with my laser pistol. I mean... it's not real physics but video game physics maybe?
I decided to test it with a couple boxes. Tossed a flare. Turns out it's not a flare. It's a glowstick. So, sinking feeling. Shoot the oxygen tank with the laser pistol. The tank disappears. Doesn't explode, doesn't deform. Instead, it leaves this plane of existence. Well, so much for that.
And then I got shot. Maybe by npcs, maybe by a player? I dunno. Maybe the npcs respawn after a while?
That is not a mission type I will be doing again

Had watched SC before I jumped into it in 2017. Was rather disheartened with Elite and 3.0 was coming out with all the new planet tech etc. How much longer would CIG need, wouldnt be much longer at that point, right? lol

I did that mission, twice maybe, two years ago when it first came out.
You can spend 6 hours loading all the drugs in your ship and then spend another 6 hours trying to sell it.

That is almost incredible, do you mind reposting your rig specs and graphic settings? You say Ultra? No down sampling?
Ryzen R7 3700x oc'd @ 3900mhz, RTX 2070 super, 32Gb RAM running from a 2Tb NVME. All graphics quality settings at ultra/high (except bloom), supersampling at x1.0, AMD FX-CAS on @1080p. I'll drop a very short vid of my graphics settings. It'll take about 30 minutes until the vid has finished processing with my net connection though...I'll post it up when it's done
