Oh, dear. I love how they try and show off a bit of simple ray casting to determine whether to show the target reticule or not as somehow a clever and unique new feature.
You can tell that the target audience for these is decidedly non-technical. Anyone who's done even the simplest bit of 3D coding will be laughing their backsides off.
Wrong, they simulate actual signal processing as stated by a dev here. That clip doesn't cover the actual simulation behind it.
so how is this game doing? I heard rumors there will be a first person shooter demo out for backers to download soon?
I haven´t updated the launcher since half a year ago, it always loaded the complete game instead of incremental and that is pretty bad for a SSD.
The space combat was really fun though.
When FPS launches I´ll update and check out the status

I suppose one can appreciate both games for what they are since they represent very different approaches to the genre.

Flight controls slowly getting better. Obviously, it's smaller incremental improvements, but the last update 9.2 was a step in the right direction, still a lot of points which have to be fixed though.
I wonder how much codebase you've written and worked with if you make such statements. They are showing the implementation of a simple feature so you don't have to know half their architecture to fully understand what's going on. I think if they give you some network code you'd have to think twice of what's going on. And so would I.
All of this is assuming they do have a complex platform in place. And since we don't know, we must assume they do so we don't look silly on a public forum.
And by the way, time-based raycasting against primitives is actually a very efficient way to check visibility. Tell me what other fancy approach would you use ?

How is it "wrong" when you yourself mention they don't show it in the clip?
The comment you replied to was about the specific video clip.
The original comment derived from the clip that target signature visibility relies only on ray casting. This is factually wrong as previously explained.

Probably several millions of lines of code in the last 30 years thank you very much.
Which is exactly why it's used in pretty much every 3D game ever written. Thank you for proving my point.
Actually yes. Star Citizen is innovating. They are doing things no one else is and its truly amazing. What does Elite have that i cant do in Diaspora?
If i need a little nostalgia i play Elite. If i want something to rock my socks off i play Star Citizen
Care to mention some of these innovations that are "truly amazing" ?
Why did you buy Elite then?
So AC gameplay rocks your socks off? Really?
I agree, the difference is Elite is basically the original 1984 title in a "HD Gold Edition"
and Star Citizen is Wing Commander/Privateer wrapped up in ONE game plus extensive new features and new concepts no one has ever done before
fish tank !?

Please tell us what are those extensive new features and concepts no one has ever done before?
Well said. I personally will enjoy both games based on their individual merits. I'll play ED whenever I want to kick-back and relax while venturing off into an endless universe, whereas SC gives me that very clan and PvP heavy experience, where I chat, train and team up with my clan mates on a daily basis to compete against other clans.
E.g. large (50-100 ships is the long term aim) player-controlled fleet-battles from a pilot's perspective where additionally crew actions and infantry combat take place inside the ship all in the same instance.
I.e., it is even planned that a ship can shoot a projectile and hit a crew member inside a hostile ship.

Thats just to name a handfull
Because i played the original
Yes Really
When i grew up we had Atari 2600. I mean seriously what does it take you kids to have your minds blown now-a-days?

Aren't these things that are planned for both games but not yet in either of them?

Possibly EVA but for the rest as far as i know, no they are not. but if they are thats GREAT! the more the merrier
