Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Development has really sped up, its all coming together 3-5 years from release.... 3 years ago.

Guy put a remindme on it, parent poster now deleted their account. I wonder what they now think.

Every so often, I’m tempted to make an indigogo campaign or something, offering absolutely nothing but dreams.txt, just to get people to give me money. Why work hard for a living, when there’s people like that around?

Then that pesky conscience kicks in. Stupid cricket.

If CR stops lying one day the Blue Fairy will make him a real movie producer...whoops.

Time for an eye exam?

Goddamn it! I'm taking my like back!

Its becoming more and more like Dangerous Discussions. All they need now is a State of the Game thread

SotG is Concierge only, with no riff raff.

Just read this.... and no, its not a troll, post history was checked. A true faithful.

TL;DR? Chris knowingly lied to people for the good of the game and it was the right thing to do.

Probably one of the better examples of normalizing extreme abuse and Stockholm syndrome within the SC context.

This thought just crossed my mind: Does CR stand for credits or what?

It does.

Huh. People keep reliably-informing that client-server games don't have combat-logging problems, so are therefore better than peer2peer games that do have combat-logging problems.

Wat?

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

They did that "single player" mode to attract people who played previous incarnations of Elite and did not want multiplayer stuff. Wise solution considering what kind of gankfest popular player systems are.

Yes, just like ED, but it'll bite Star Citisnt more in the rear. Because there is just one star system, lol.

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

Yes, self destruct works and if another ship is close enough it will blow up too.

However, in SC there are plenty of people who do "legit" piracy.

Why risk it tho?

 

[LittleAnt]

I just thought the vid was well made and funny ¯\(ツ)/¯

But you come up with whatever consensus you like buddy

(Personally I think F4 exploits are a weak point in both games, and nobody seems to have a decent solution right now.)

About combat logging. The goal is to have the ship remain present in the server a long time after you Atl F4 or log off in bed outside of hangar. No vanishing ship while boarding.

Don't know their plan for the avatar but for me, if the ship stay on the server, the avatar should also stay.

I just assumed it was sarcasm, works either way!

 

[Agony_Aunt]

The goal is...

Ah, the goal is. That's so reassuring.

 

[LittleAnt]

Nice. Then the solution is always self-destruct. Sorry for those who want to do legit piracy, but the the bad eggs will make sure you never want to chance it.

Self-destruct will cost more and more in the future as the stability/permanence increase in the server.
For long, autodestruct costed almost nothing because CIG was not able to provide enough stability to put a cost on it. Too much bugs destroying your ship, they couldn't put the real price on material looses.
When the server's stability will be sufficient, with medical gameplay penalities + cost of loosing armor + ship + equipment + cargo + missiles they have all the tools to not make you want to self destruct.

"Development has really sped up this year" say the faithful backers.

Time to wheel out the old gif.

Maybe it will, maybe it won't. It hasn't happened yet so we don't know how it will be.

But one thing that is irreplaceable is time, that is the most valuable asset every player has, and for some, a self-destruct or combat long might be preferable to sitting around waiting to get shot or possibly held hostage or whatever they think up. I mean, if they have you and your ship, you're not going anywhere. Its ripe for griefing.

It's just gonna drive players away.

Yeah, if the penalties are too harsh people will get annoyed.

Its one reason why i don't like the whole DoaS business. I get attached to my avatars, i don't want to have to start a new one (even if i get to keep all my assets) just because of death in a computer game. I guess i can recreate the new one exactly the same as the old one, but then why not just let me keep the old avatar?
