This is what I think CIG & Theranos actually have in common. They both were/are (being very fair) legitimately working towards something on a gamble/promise that as they were developing it the tech needed to make it happen would reveal itself along the way and would make the initial unsupported claim true in the end. The deception being selling the product as 100% possible rather than 100% probable possibly maybe but we're sure it will work out in the end. Then, in CIG's case, reinforcing that statement with fake demos/vertical slices that don't work in the greater context of the final product they were selling to backers. Of course, Theranos being in the medical field made that situation far more serious than a video game company, but the net effect of taking people's money without knowing that they can actually deliver the product as sold, in my opinion, reaches the level of financial fraud, as no-one who put money into this was told "we're not sure we can actually deliver this" as far as I'm aware.

Someone do a headcount at the Manchester site to see if there are even light on and how many ppl really go there.
There is never ligitimately working on something that is technically, physically and sensibly impossible. Theranos was impossible. And SC was also.

There are no graphical visualitation for module damage in Elite but the modules are all individually modelled for projectile / beam trajectory, penetration and actual damage to the specific module, and there are quite a few in each ship. Long time ago I believe it was Mark Allen who did an excellent in depth dev post on the subject:

I know that. But in this case we're talking about visual damage model here, not internal modules damage model.There are no graphical visualitation for module damage in Elite but the modules are all individually modelled for projectile / beam trajectory, penetration and actual damage to the specific module, and there are quite a few in each ship.

I know that you know
, but if we are comparing with the damage model in SC let´s go all the way.

Of course we are. Because the bling is the most important part of a game, right?
