Tons of Agent’s Turbulent stuff from last year has proved to be right on the money.
Could absolutely see this year going the same way
@Mole HD - all the best to you both. Hardships make the good times more meaningful.
This is truly shocking. This is my shocked face.
Seen that guy XD
This is truly shocking. This is my shocked face.

Hey Mole, God I'm sorry this happened to your wife, this sucks. Sepsis isn't nearly talked about enough for how often and sudden it happens. Can't imagine what you two must be going through.
Wishing you both loads of strength, lots of help from good company and good news during treatment and that you keep your sense of humor, no doubt it's gonna help immensely with the challenges ahead. Best of luck.

Nope, course not. Again, please never try and take anything I might post (here or otherwise) as some kind of gospel.
I do honestly think Turbulent (and their new hires from Ubisoft) could probably turn SC into a released product given another 24 to 36 months -- if (and that's a big ol capital IF) they aren't meddled with by CI proper.
I think the 3rd party oversight guys they hired have been pointing more and more work at 3rd party companies and seeing more and more results. Wouldn't surprise me if there's a big shakeup corporate wise at CI within the next 18 months.
Some comments:
- Has CIG realized the game Chris describes can't be made, as many of us have said?
- No capital ship PvP?
- Would Chris ever concede this point? Have the Calders removed Chris from the decision making?
- Does this include capital ships that backers have purchased?
- This description sounds closer to a game that can actually be made.
- This would be a move towards the Elite Dangerous model:
- Has instances like ED
- Has a non-PvP option of sorts
- No P2P so more players per instance
- Adds ship interiors and EVA
- Regarding the disabling of "friendly fire attacks", I don't know if this means it is like the ED "Report crimes against me" or if it means friendly fire does no damage.

It sounds as if it has been horrendous for the both of you. I hope you both able to see and hold each other very soon. But in the interim be sure to look after yourself.Sepsis is a truly horrendous illness, it averages out at roughly a 30% survival rate once the third phase (septic shock) sets in. It causes your body to fight itself and kill off internal organs at a frightening rate, overwhelming it's ability to recover. Once treatment is started, the medical staff have not only to deal with and get rid of the sepsis but repair the damage as it happens. It starves the vital organs of a blood supply causing them to die, starting off with gall bladder, kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas...you get the picture.
If you aren't physiologically strong in the first place...which my wife was, fortunately... the survival rate is measured in days. As for a recovery roadmap...she's got a very long and painful road to go down, although she's survived. They had to remove some of those organs that succumbed to the sepsis, only managing to halt it's devastating effects before it killed off her kidneys or liver. She might still end up on dialysis for the rest of her life, she also had a good portion of her small intestine, her spleen and appendix removed due to necrosis. They also had to repair the tear in her colon that started all this.
The medical staff still aren't sure if her kidneys, pancreas and liver will recover fully, it's too early to tell...it's going to be a hard road. Small baby steps taking one at a time...but at least we've been given the chance to start those steps

If this comes to pass, it would not be much of a surprise. But partitions like these will mean Stanton would not be a seamless instance at all for example and players would need to load and unload actual system map elements and assets as they go, even if such loading screen is well hidden. This will be quite painful as a comparison to how seamless star systems are in Elite, Space Engineers, IB or NMS for example. I think we have already discussed the possibility a few times before:
Also, this bit:
If there is something CIG is good at is making "shiny" and assets galore, even if they are not meaningful at all from a gameplay standpoint (Microtech etc). This is what keeps backers funding. I can see this totally happening earlier rather than later even if in a barebones states, especially if it is Turbulent handling it, unles CIG is more incompetent than I thought.

Better late than never I guess, I am sorry to hear that your wife has been serious ill Mole. I hope that she is on the mend and will be able to come home soon. Waiting for news is horrible or so I have found.Yup, she collapsed last Wednesday after complaining she felt a bit ill after coming back from feeding her horses. Turned out that her colon had ruptured a few days previously sending her body into septic shock...which through experience of third stage sepsis first hand, is a killer. She's been on full life support and in a medically induced coma since then, endured 4 serious life saving operations to remove the various organs which had succumbed to the sepsis and had gone necrotic. Her kidneys were failing leading to her being stuck on dialysis to prevent them failing totally. She's got through all that although still on dialysis for the meantime. Now starts the first of the many, many little steps on the long road to recovery.
We've been together 34 years and this is only the second time she's ever been ill. First time was due to a motorbike accident which had us both hospitalised over 10 years ago...she's never had as much as a cold or flu in all that time. I swear she's been saving them all up for this one...To say I'm relieved is an understatement
As you gathered I only look at this thread infrequently these days.
We love her too, because she keeps you at bay. Best wishes and behave while she is away. I'm telling if you're not a good boy!I just this minute had a phone call from the ICU that they've woken her up after being in an induced coma to help her recover after the 4 operations she's been through. Although only awake for less than an hour, she managed to speak on the phone and apologised faintly for being ill...and had I been feeding the cats and remembering to take my meds and had I changed the bed and washed the bedding
The strength of that woman has me in awe...and thank you all for your kind words. I can go to sleep now, first time in 4 days
lol......
When you do, be sure to give a trip report!
That's difficult right now, the servers are disconnecting every 10 minutes, have to wait until they get the severs sorted out to get a long enough run.
Nice top heavy design for the tank ( twitch clip )
