- Thread starter Arthur Tolmie
- Start date
No, it says this:
So what do you think that means? Weeks after release?
"we will keep you updated" - yeah, heard that before for Powerplay, Multi-crew etc etc.
Maybe the galaxy map button on the accept mission screen will work again. Maybe NPC crew will stop disappearing after the player's death even though we pay a fee to keep them on the rebuy screen. Maybe Overloaded Munitions will work as intended an no longer do +50% damage...
kinda how I felt today o7

Wut?
I'm saying that it's after office hours and that she is busy with other things than work.
Clear?
Bigmaec Orbital has such a nice ring to it.
But I fear my german accent makes my ATC voice sound it like a supervillain lair.
Leave the guy alone! He said he could read!
Thanks for the update!
It's clears lots is being done.

Can we talk download-times maybe? I'm sitting here with a 160sek download for 3, in words three, data items; It's not like we need them in the 10s per mod we wanna engineer? Who came up with the Idea that it would be great to have people WAIT for minutes in order to loot an item?
It's not as if finding the stuff were difficult enough, no, sombody went and said to themself: "I got this! Let's make them not just hard do find, let's people also have waste their time by staring at a screen for 2 minutes while absolutely nothing happens!"
What is this? Windows-Update simulator or something?

LOL yeah 20 planets, 12 moons and 5 asteroid belt.
I think he's saying she's entitled to have some of her time not dedicated to addressing people about her job, on account of the fact she doesn't work 24/7 any more than the rest of us do. Which is y'know - entirely fair and non-controversial. Unless you're a completely obsessional lunatic.
The scale of ED is in the galaxy, which I ferverently hope is not being done in the engine and is being done on a database somewhere and a routine exists in the engine to pass in a system ID and get all info for that single system.
Yes, yes, it is so easy. The hard part is the graphics. ED is amazing graphically (leaving aside the odyssey UI and visual overhaul). The ships and system representation are very very good!
To break it down the engine handles the drawing of the scene, the movement of you and others within it, atmosperics, NPCs. BGS, Missions, Trading are all done outside the engine. All this is plain to see in 'other games' drawing systems etc etc
Why is no one doing it on ED's scale? Why would they? It's all been done before. Fdevs 2 main competitors are doing it, one with only one system but with more depth of gameplay, and the other with a tiny developmenty team is doing everything ED does and a whole lot more, excepy for the BGS, making fdev look like a joke. And let's be honest here, the BGS have never worked right.
And futher to those 2, many others are using U5 and Unity to build space games.
About two years ago I had a go at this just to see how it all went together in Unity. I downloaded the CSVs and within a day had them offloaded into an MSSQL DB. 2 further days had me jumping from system to system and placing 'planets' where they should be. The entire exercise showed me that I am useless at graphics, leaving aside the BGS, the rest is donkey work, ED lives off it's graphics.
And still couldnt handle same copy-paste planets assets issue as in Odyssey. With a much bigger budget and team.

Am I seeing this wrong? The shield strength indication on the HUD in the "fixed" lighting snapshots still show this off-color blue/green that doesn't match the rest of the in-game Blue hues. Just switch to analysis mode and you can clearly see the disparity - this was not the case in Horizons. Is this an artistic change? Because it doesn't look good...
Edit: I should acknowledge that the other interior lighting changes are welcome... It's just that most of the time, we're looking in first-person at the HUD and context panels, which have clashing colors.

I think we should drop this subject. Nobody cares. Back to topic please.
Then perhaps you should have just said that from the beginning. I do not read minds very well. Even less so over the internet. It's not like the issue is going to be taken care of anytime soon at this rate unless it gets fixed tomorrow. So hey, we're all in a bad place with Oddy. Geezus, if you wanted me to remove the link, you could have just said that and not been a jerk about it.
Second system will be ready towards the end of 2016, just give them some time.
In the mean time let me talk about that new ship...
