Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Beware of being set up to say that Chris has done the impossible

True, but naturally Chris has gone for way more than just transitions, claiming combat and other complex gameplay will be possible between servers etc. For great galumphing ships festooned with moving parts, and 1000s of ground troops simultaneously etc.

Just gotta trust his authority on this ;)

LOL, build a "persistence" layer only to be begged by some commandos to wipe it when it is corrupt. Gawd, what I would give to have this luxury at work.
 
You can't sue a game for being similar, they'd get laughed out of court. Like Ed Sheeran says, songs can sound similar and not be copying.
Sure you can, deep pockets of legal teams is a very hard buff to any claim made in the us legal system, that has been proven time and time again. Though, having said that, it may be why they won't, I guess Bethesda may come under protection from daddy Microsoft? If so, their financial power make CIG look like a gnat going up against an elephant. But hey, it's only a theory..
 
Discussing Starfield in global chat with a few SC players t'other night in game. Most were excited by it of course...as most of us being spacey type gamers are...but truly the best comment I've ever read came out of it...

"I hope the Nexus has a 30k mod so we can at least all feel at home when we play it."

Wonder if this one will boil the whole weekend without a reply...


I'm not a cook either, and I can damn well tell when the food is rotten and chicken is raw.

what isnt obvious is alot of this new tech and backend data and those present challenges and hurdles that require trial and error and brainstorming

Ugh.

They don't get it. CIG said they could do those things, took money to do those things, and have spent years trying to figure out how to deliver those things.

If in 2012 they said "We've got no idea how to do any of this but give us money and we will figure it out" they wouldn't have got a fraction of the funding.
 
Maybe Littleant should apply as DBA at CI-G! It'll be fixed in no time!

The saddest part of this is that it's a patently already-solved problem. You could shove the entirety of CI-G's ownership DB on a 2Gb SD card and transact, in real time, on an appropriately interfaced ZX Spectrum.
 
Long term persistence causing things to disappear forever? Oh the irony.

Edit: or maybe working as intended.
The Persistence is so good it's perceived as not working at all.

It really isn't. What they are doing is just a simple database and holding information. DBs have been around for decades. It's not like they're creating a pocket dimension and trying to create matter in it. And before some small formian says something about why hasn't anyone done it before it's because DB experts know polluting your DB with useless info is stupid. Really, get your game basics working before you start doing dumb things like universe sized databases.
