looks like some kind of protest is about to start
You know what I always thought was weird? Why is there only one or two cruise ship announcements? One or two pirate lines. It's just random text. There are 800 music tracks switched between for the bars in the game. Could you not have made 800 lines of text for the pirates to switch through? It's never made any sense to me.
What's wrong with this image? How do YOU play 'Floor is Lava'??
I might be wrong, but I think these messages have a function too. If you get messages from a cruise ship it means that the system is safe and you won't get interdicted by a NPC?
I guess that royalty-free musics are easier to find than royalty-free pirate's punch-lines.
Well, at least if one takes a mission from them, there wouldn't be any need to search for them, else Frontier would be accused of yet another time-sink!
For a company that loves it's RNG it is a bit weird that the NPCs have a totally fixed routine.
But at least they're not standing on the chairs. That's where we draw the line. Elite's bugs on this side, and SC's bugs on that side.
Yeah the funny thing about Skyrim, what we saw in that game, was like 1/10th of what they were aiming for. Half of that crap didn't work. Everything that made the quests in Skyrim was one tiny piece of the AI and event and movement and trigger packages that they had made the bones of in Creation engine. Basically most of the quests, they had just settled in to this single method of doing things when there were actually like half a dozen different ways to start things and catch things and so on. There were more ways than I even understood why there are so many different ways.
But yeah the point is, all the magic of Skyrim, that was 1/10th of what they were setting up with Creation engine scripting abilities.
You are right. Elite NPCs sink into the floor. It‘s a much more sophisticated bug than simply standing on chairs. That’s for plebs.
This is a pretty OK situation. I have witnessed a lot more freaking stuff.
A while ago I saw a spread eagled npc floating above the surface close to his vehicle. It was kind of spooky, like some kind of satanic ritual had been performed.
This wouldn't make my list of top 1000 things that need improvement. Forest, trees...
O captain, my captain
I was thinking of that too.
