I use the Tobii 4c which has full integrated 6 dof support in SC, hotas and a Logitech G13 on occasion.... not so much now though with the FPS walking speed controls being on the scroll wheel of the mouse.

Planets are one thing Ci¬G deserve credit for, normally they're stunning...but yes, video compression kinda blurred the foggy appearance of Daymar...I remarked in the vid that it was unusual to see Daymar covered in fog.
Yeah, something like two-thirds of CIG's workforce are in the UK
Did you even watch the video?
Turned it on after the bunker mission
Not all of it, i will tho
Could it be something to do with tax relief?
Nope. They need more than that.
The interesting question is: Is the proposed system this poor at scaling because they're still holding the door open for server meshing? (It's an answer that makes a lot of sense of their behaviour, and is what they say is happening). Or are they just petrified of how the community would react when faced with the reality of the more practical solutions? (IE small instanced locations, and/or lots of queueing to get into previously 'seamless' locations).
Either way, there's a ton more work to be done to make even this 'Destiny style', bread and butter networking fit for purpose. Guess we'll see how it goes over 2022/23 ¯\(ツ)/¯
Possibly. CIG's UK studios receive annual tax relief from the UK government, because Squadron 42 passed a cultural test and certified as British.

It's not like Roberts and Freyermuth have no history when it comes to looking for free tax money. Remember Ascendant Pictures?...Possibly. CIG's UK studios receive annual tax relief from the UK government, because Squadron 42 passed a cultural test and certified as British.

@Intrepid3D plays and records @1440p on highest settings, I only have 1080p monitors so record and play at that resolution with graphics setting maxed....why his videos always look nicer than mine too... taking into account YouTube's loss in quality through video compression
Interesting to hear me whine like a man-child about being stuck in jail too. My wife always says that I would be far more interesting if I had a zip installed on my mouth

Oh look, you're passive-aggressively tilting at a post I've made in the hopes of an argument about Star Citizen.
It's usually an automatic thing for me when I get into a turret, power up...press Q and X for relative and Gyro mode. I turn gyro mode off when not in a fight though since it's annoying having the turret spin about, I kept forgetting to hit X to turn it on then wondering what was up with my turretNot all of it, i will tho
I'll put it down to being deeply traumatised after sitting in jail for 4 and a half hours listening to you lot having fun

Since we're comparing CIG planets to other games...
Just expanding your post here a little, since I've been playing way too much NMS lately
, those 11 NMS biomes are further split into planet types, all quite different. Furthermore each of those has a different terrain type, adding yet another multiplier to the possible variations.For example, take just one biome, LUSH. It includes all of the following possible planet types:
Temperate
Tropical
Paradise
Bountiful
Flourishing
Humid
Lush
Viridescent
Verdant
Overgrown
And each of these will have one or more 'terrain types':
Continent
Archipelago
Ocean
Pangea
Swamp
Riverland
Wetland
etc.
Just using these three basic categories (Biome, Type and Terrain) as variations, the planets types number in the hundreds. And that's not counting any of the weird and exotic types - all pure fantasy of course - but that's precisely the look and feel Hello Games are aiming for with their game.
The tech in NMS is amazing. As a procgen hobbyist myself, I have huge respect for what they've done. It's voxel based with full terrain manipulation, base building, procgen flora/fauna. In many ways it's far in advance of either ED or SC. I highly recommend enthusiasts view the HG dev vids describing their tech.
Now, I'm just waiting for NMS Expedition #2 to restart.
I'd love to meet some of those generic, brush tarred backers you keep referring to. Most of the ones I meet have individual personalities and are very differentNot at all, no. An actual remark based on 9 years of CIG and backer behaviour. I was there not too long after the start of it all (even before I got into Elite) so I know exactly what you meant. I also partook in the same behavior back then. It is quite interesting to observe really. CIG is still top tier at making backers back purely based on speculation without delivery. 9 years of it so far. Feel free to see yourself in there, or not.
I think the UK branch is the biggest, with CR planning to make it even bigger. But as I understood, they are mainly focused on SQ42.
However, i remember some years ago where the SQ42 people were being redirected to work on SC.
Well, it is apparently quite a sparse system. But believing something just because CIG said it.... well, in that case, i've got a bridge to sell you.
Also, 2 systems a year? That's quite optimistic. Especially when you've just talked about all the unique assets CIG create to make each location different. Having the tools doesn't speed that up. They've had asset creation tools since day 1.
Sure, maybe low fidelity systems which don't contain much could get quickly, but you're overlooking the more important systems.
Terra is a major system and an important one. Sol!!! Can you imagine how many years CR will spend on Sol? He will want it all modelled, right down to his LA mansion (which will be preserved in-game as some sort of memorial to the great Chris Roberts who invented the quantum drive). And then there will be the alien systems. All new assets for those.
As for the screenshots showing the diversity of planets, they've already more or less hit the limit on those now. They've made all the major ones. Its not like they will be doing planets made of chocolate or diamond (erm... well, maybe CR will do a crystalline one, that might happen), and if Pyro is indeed complete, they've done magma planets. Most future planets will just be variations from here on out. Earthlike worlds will all look like earthlike worlds. (by the way, they still are working on things like rivers last time i heard, they will definitely have to rework Hurston when they get that done). Icy planets will all look like icy planets. Etc. It will run into the same issue you describe for NMS and ED. NMS has 11 biomes? How many will SC have?

My English isn't good enough to understand spoken words - unless it's crystal clear Oxford English, so I try to use my recycled school knowledge (from 50 years ago). To be honest, all I understood was something that sounded like 'fu**n spacegame'. That's a shame, because I think I could have learned a lot about the game. But then, this wasn't an instructional video, so I'm still very grateful for it.
(if you think my spelling is good, I will be happy to pass on the compliment to DeepL)
Mole doesn't speak English. Its some heathen dialect.

The constant crying "because stupid", and always this "it's alpha" ... - Star Citizen Spectrum
Every day I read Spectrum, the game lacks this, the game lacks that. The game has to offer more. Even streamers who have been supporting the game for many years come up with such confused ideas...

You're right in that part. ED and NMS don't strife for that, because they are essays on how to do automated content delivery. SC is the polar opposite: Glossy surfaces. Always the same and always in the same place with an irrational promise it will never run out of "new" content regardless. Which is a silly pipe dream.
How long until they leave starting? 10 more years?
I had a listen and it's not so bad. Pretty clear imo. I played with Scots before and they're actually not that hard to understand. One guy once thought he had thick unintellible or wasword accent but he was just a mumbler.Mole doesn't speak English. Its some heathen dialect.
