The way FDev does things, it is utmost complicated.
Realistic erosion, flight model, procedural weather and well, all the stuff should be somewhat realistic.
I think we'll get gas giants first, as FDev don't have to deal with terrain.
Regarding the weekly development reports, while communication is always nice there is a huge difference in the criticality of communication between CIG & FD. For CIG, these reports are essential to securing funding since they have no deliverables yet, or to say that their investors can't actually play the game.
One out of development, the level of resources and energy dedicated completely to communication will shift to allocate resources and energy towards sales. Afterall, a big part of this team's mission and objectives is to generate funds needed to keep the business going.

Wow, you are the type who says anything just to prove a point and save face
And you just made yourself look stupid
As SC was meant to be released 2 years ago, and those of us in the know, that's more than 100000s of players(but apparently not you), have resigned ourselves to CIG's convenient tactic of keeping SC in permanent Alpha and increasing the feature list on a weekly basis to justify that fact.Next time do your homework before insulting others...
That is not true. They said they have allocated resourced to do an update featuring on core gameplay. Not a whole season of updates.
Yes. FD already did that with Planet Coaster. But that would blow. The point for me is not to have a pretty skybox, but to have actual gameplay in the form of flight model changes, and changes to surface generation. They could probably make the sky look blue and add some day/night visuals to it in a weekend. Clouds were demo'd four years ago or so. Thats not very interesting.
Thats a big reason why many of us bailed.
Years past projected release, no new release date/year/decade known, no gameplay loops whatsoever and not even close to the feature list of the original 2014 game release.Exactly.

Except that the 'weekly report' is a joke. We all know the weekly report comes with a weekly delay, few items that are 'finished', and a few that were finished but now need more work. Its a joke to appease people because they aren't willing to give a real deadline. Remember that this schedule is about a patch (part of the alpha) that was originally going to be released last year, with way more features. Within 24 hours of me posting this, another delay will be anounced. Keep an eye on the CIG website.
As to which year the game is supposed to be released, noone knows. Not even a hint of a suggestion. But they just released this cool new vid with cool new graphics. Wont be in the next patch though, but it will come super soon! Just spend more money!

OK, I'll take your word for for it. BUT considering it took 6 months to do 2.2, I'm not gonna hold my breath on them revamping the lot in one swoop.
Definitely not hold your breath for anything. The simple truth is noone has any idea what FD is up to. We know they said spring last year they already had multiple teams working on different post-Season2 features, and thats it. Dont trust people who tell you they know what FD is planning.
No, I just know what the different SDLC states are because I use them every day.Wow, you are the type who says anything just to prove a point and save face
Hardly. I'm under no delusions about SC; nor was I expecting it to be released in 2014 when I bought my Aurora. But; sure, whatever helps your self-narrative along is fine by me.And you just made yourself look stupid
CR promising SC 2 years after the KS, was the dumbest promise he could have made, I'll give you that. But these things happen; underestimate the amount of work involved; and promise unrealistic release dates.
Really? You speak for tens of thousands of players, do you? Well, I know for a fact you don't speak for me. But keep up that delusion of grandeur you got going there.
Re, Bold: As a developer, I can easily see that SC is no fit shape for release. Released now, SC would be another NMS.
You use the word 'fact' but I don't think you have the faintest idea what it actually means. Unless of course, you have access to CIG's SVN and can provide evidence of your accusation? No? Didn't think so.
Whatever was meant to happen 2 years is utterly irrelevant to what is happening right now. CR completely dropped the ball promising SC in 2014, however since then the game is still in development; and right now, SC is in an alpha state; anyone with even a basic understanding in development can see and understand what this means; and what to expect when they test it. Your myopic negativity prevents you from grasping, and accepting, the simple fact that Roberts over-promised on a release date, and underestimated the amount of work the game needs.
Don't you think it's about time you grew up and got over the fact that SC isn't ready yet and is still under development?
Don't bother replying, there's nothing you can say that interests me so I'm just going to ignore you.
Cheerio.
P.S: Get over the fact that Roberts underestimated how long SC would take to develop.

Which is totally understandable; if I'd had my heart set on a 2014 release like so many people did, I'd have been angry too.Thats a big reason why many of us bailed.
Roberts dropped the ball badly by promising a 2014 release. People seriously need to get over it though, it was 3 years ago.
played the video, got 5 seconds into when I realized it was Star Citizen, then turned it off.
I'm not so interested in atmosphere that I need to sell out my morals and pretend that Star Citizen isn't an insane cash grab. I cannot, and will not, condone that game in any way until they change their business model, which is unlikely to happen upon launch (if it ever actually launches).
As it is, atmosphere in E is likely very bare-bones, pushed aside for more important current gameplay, stability, and story development. It'll happen eventually, hopefully, but I'm not going to hold my breath for it to happen any time soon.

No, it is not. He promised Sq in 2016. Right until december on their website. In january he removed it from the website and never mentioned the game again. He promised 3.0 'in a few weeks' end of 2016. The feature list has been massively cut down, and the weekly schedule comes with weekly delays, and now projects 'in a few weeks'. Almost 9 months later. Its not a one-off mistake that happened years ago. Its a pattern that started in his earlier games (where he had to be fired in order to get something released, which is why he doesnt want anyone controlling him anymore), his movie (which got him removed from Hollywood) and the entire SC project from day one till the schedule of last week. There is no sign of any of it changing either.
And what do we get here? A video about what we will definitely get in 3.0? No. More promises about cool stuff 'later'. Cool man. Totally belief it.

But before it does how about we (partially) return to the topic...

I have SC too, that game is so buggy, and don't tell me that it is in alpha, for the same reason, Elite is still in alpha and it is a much better game... well in fact, Elite is a game, SC is a dream at this moment. The performance of the game is very nasty, they cannot show a video without fps drops, and they are running it in supercomputers. The PTU servers (the open world) only can host around 20-30 players max in all the server, they have a big problem here too. I've not seen any video showing full core gameplay (battle in planets or something like that) with high number of players in the same area...
But CIG is doing things better than FD, they are transparent with their players in terms of development news. Please Frontier make the same thing, we want to know more things about the development, the current flow of news is not enought, and don't tell us that you will show in some streaming and the only thing that we see is the video: "2.4 The Return"... [mad]
Are you working in space legs, hud colors, player corps, more ships, new srvs...etc? I think that you can make a devblog in form of video every week or two weeks speaking about those things.

and making expensive jpegs to sell.
Oh wait you're not talking about the SC dev team
Ouch. That is one awful song.
I would be pathetically grateful if we got bare-bones rocky bodies with basic atmosphere. But it doesn't seem anywhere close ATM. Frontier want us all to be shooting Thargoids for the immediate future.
