Sounds reasonable, a five year wait for the 'better engine' to be incorporated sounds about right. Were you considering UE5?or switching to an entirely different engine if Cobra is beyond fixing

Soon you might be very lonely with that opinion.Ok then, in this case I see why overhauls are overrated...
I don't know. I don't know enough about it to be able to tell if it would work with the requirements of ED. I do know that CIG are constantly modifying the engine of Star Citizen to fit the requirements of the game. One of the big changes this year will be the transition from a single renderthread on the CPU to multithreaded rendering, properly utilising the modern CPUs.Sounds reasonable, a five year wait for the 'better engine' to be incorporated sounds about right.

With the issues currently faced by Frontier in getting their own engine to run Odyssey on low-spec PCs and consoles it may be impractical to use another engine for this iteration of the game - the future could be interesting should they drop this version and bring out V5 with much higher base specs.I don't know.

Painting the office walls often refreshes the working environment, and can be used for team building too if HSE allows it.
Just so you get an idea why SC is about to eat ED's lunch:Soon? Don't worry, I'm used to it, have been for over 7 years. Me and the game have always survived all the doomsday spells happily so far.
I honestly thought at one point, for a brief moment that something like Space Engine was going to be incorporated into ELITE as an engine refresh... how foolish.With the issues currently faced by Frontier in getting their own engine to run Odyssey on low-spec PCs and consoles it may be impractical to use another engine for this iteration of the game - the future could be interesting should they drop this version and bring out V5 with much higher base specs.
At this point is there truly anyone left that actually believes that game will ever be finished? They do at least have passion for their project over at CRI, but the game is an example of feature creep all but eliminating the possibility of a launch. Chris will have to go for SC to ever launch IMHO. They have the talent and the passion. What they don't have, is a proper guiding hand to say enough is enough, no new features, no new ships, no new anything, get what is here working properly, clean up the code, squash as many bugs as we can, then release. Add the other features later.The complete overhaul of Elite is already in progress. It's called Star Citizen.
This is not a SC thread.Just so you get an idea why SC is about to eat ED's lunch:
The SC trolls always arriveThis is not a SC thread.
Please just stick to the facts Mam
Do you seriously believe there will be a complete overhaul of Elite by FDev any time soon? Really?This is not a SC thread.
Please just stick to the facts Mam
Ok. But are you saying that we need to do this daily to replace E: D? That does sound dangerous!I say we just jack it all in and go down the pub and get hammered.
No, but I retain hope in the face of FDev, what whatDo you seriously believe there will be a complete overhaul of Elite by FDev any time soon? Really?
Pure bloody classOk. But are you saying that we need to do this daily to replace E: D? That does sound dangerous!
We have banana pancakes in Space Engineers.I want to be able to take part in bombing missions against heavily fortified outpost whilst the fodder run about on the surface.
I want to be able to run high value weapons cargo into hot zones that are truly highly contested and represent a real interactive experience.
I want banana pancakes and maybe a sweet bubble tea after.
