So nothing like ED's limpets?Nope.
There is no drone in game that auto-tracks a (moving) object, collects it (without it exploding), and returns it to a ship, for example.
And in terms of gameplay environment and performance, are you telling me they’ve been designing to date to accommodate a bunch of turret AIs being dumped into a major firefight. (Given what Tony Z has said about their performance impact).
Nah. It’s all scope creep.
From the mind of the marketing dream straight to some poor engineers door. Most likely

Tell me more, give me some more recent examples apart from some simple space mines...

Drones that collect stuff is not in the game, but that concept has been bought up many times before. Way before the nautilus.
Free standing AI turrets are in the game now.
How are the two renders different in VR?
Do you have a big one? A list that is.
But you'll still pull out the alpha excuse the moment you need to right?
SPACE BULLDOZER IS NOT A JOKE!
Drones as a concept yep. Although there's no early days concept of one that tracked and interacted with an AI driven object (let alone an object that's otherwise programmed to explode via proximity). AFAIK.
You can't just say: 'Drones were planned. (Therefore a drone that paints your ship, or attaches itself to you as a bonus thruster, is not scope creep).'
Yes but the current build can barely handle capital ship clashes with numerous AI turrets involved. Keeping gameplay scenarios within the game's capacities is also part of game design. And game scope. Suddenly deciding that X player Nautilus's could dump Y number of AI turrets each into such a location clearly blows up the worst case scenario. It's... scope... creep...
Now you've piqued my curiousity. I guess no names can be named due to NDAs, but blink once for Firesprite, twice for Turbulent, or three times for yet another third party we don't know about.
Nautilus’s homing mines, sentry mines & anti-mine drones have no precedent. They were the last major scope creep. Announced in Aug 2019. (For $675, at a concierge-only event, which cost $275 to attend. They certainly monetised the hell out of their last fling with foolishness
So that’s over 7 years of scope creeping all told. Deeply dubious, and with production repercussions still to this day. And for many, many more years to come.

He said content for CIG then segued into talking about SQ42. However, there is going to be a lot of overlap in content anyway.
CIG is using CryEngine, which has a rep for being great for making pre-rendered animations, but total reeking trash for making games with, so I wouldn't be shocked if it isn't.
Check in the Crysis games or Ryse: Son of Rome are supported and that will give a good indication of whether or not SC would work with the plugin.
It's not the length of the ignore list that matters, it's the girthy scope that really satisfies.
You're making me think of the guy who stays with the bunny boiler crazy lady because the horizontal dance is so good.
I mean, a singular feature being added along the line as simple as some space mines can't be considered "scope creep" can it? So please, comprehensive list of all the scope creep crimes CIG has committed!Give me an example.
No, not that example, give me another example
It's just that with it being such a big thing I would have thought it'd be a little more than a simple space mine feature for a concept ship.Give me an example.
No, not that example, give me another example
I could show you a pic but I fear the banhammer. Anyway it's growing up quite well nowadays
Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more
