check out the post date for that video, it was from CIG themselves on their official channel.

Yes but he worked on movies. Movies dammit!

Have you seen the dedicated screens for refuelling ? It's the new gameplay loop of 3.17 you can use it in multicrew in refueling ships.

Pretty no ? It's made with BB

I hope this is fun while you're actually doing it, because it looks like a complete yawn-fest.
It's like game devs have no idea what constitutes fun gameplay these days... but each to their own.

"Mobiglass" - the inventive strength to give trivial stuff or outright tosh pretentious names is a key feature of the overselling scamster. Got something flashy - push it to market with a fancy name.

Tier 0 loops are important. We know they get culled eventually but the Ebobs can claim there is so much stuff being delivered they don't even know when to play all of it.

New starmap UI, any day now... from 2016

Must have got stuck in Uranus.

What became of the expensive shows with the hipster names? Around the "verse". Too hard to produce with a straight face, I guess. Not everyone is a dedicated professional liar.

I dont know man, being a Fuel Rat or being rescued by one seems pretty fun to me.

Because refueling a ship with 2 one push clicks in a menu is more fun ?

It has it's Moments sure but most of the game is a total yawnfest lol

That is a bit like saying that exploration in Elite is simply "honk and go" or that chess is simply "moving pieces from A to B". The overall fuel game loop, its features and how they integrate with the galaxy in Elite, and where refueling is just but one more element, is imo probably best in class among space sims. Looking forward to SC fuel related gameplay and refueling delivering this kind of epic player experiences.

Well that is certainly an opinion. Either way I thought we were talking refueling gameplay specifically, and not moving goal posts.

We were talking about building blocks, screens, interface and MFD. Merkir was suggesting that the screens for refueling gave zero gameplay value in SC.
So we can check how it's done in ED.

It start at 10:19 and finish at 10:37

Click, click, click, refueling done.

My conclusion : I prefer the SC interface for refueling

So basically, it is fun and exciting if your oxygen generator randomly stops working because you have no more fuel, and then there's some timer on your screen and once that timer runs out you explode (for whatever reason). Someone can save you from the explody death by suffocation by targeting you and pressing a button. Goddamn that is some exciting gameplay.

Yeah, same with exploration in Elite... Just "honk and go". And that king of games, the chess thing? dont get me started, it is simply moving pieces from A to B. nOt ExCiTiNg at. all. man I tell you!

Woah! Look at this lifeless icy body #23252 I just found! Man, so much stuff to explore!!!!!

Chess atleast requires you to think
