Maybe it's a confirmation-bias thing with all the regular staff-change updates we've seen over these recent years, but I get the feeling that "average time working for CIG" is reducing? As in newer hires aren't staying for as long as the earlier hires were? Not sure if that's easily checked.

Hmm, I could probably do something with the old 'devs on camera' stats (up to mid-2024)...

One thing I would say is that I've seen a lot more sub-year leavers amongst Snrs than Jnrs in recent years. (Which is kinda the opposite of the trend you'd expect if those were probation fails).
 
A Snr Level Designer bounced after 9m back in June. Looks to have been SQ42 focused...

"Creative Director's Walkaround sessions" - is that what they call it when Chris struts around the open offices, peering over designers' shoulders and demanding pixels to be made blue?

I haven't been on the PTU, yet. The download rates were very slow and it took a long time.

This is literally what my life was like in 2000, with one manager christened Cornflower Blue.

Here he is three years ago...

Glad you found one! Yes there are now 40 rivers combined between Stanton1 and Stanton4. I can't wait to improve on them more..... What we've got planned over the next year for planets is going to be huge!

(The plans turned out to be: 'Let's redo everything!'. Including the rivers ;))
 
Am I right in that the Refueling Tanker is working now? Could have sworn I saw a vid of someone using it
More or less. It was first seen in May in refueling missions.

There are now automated fuel bots that you can call and, unless their escort start shooting or the refueling boom bonks your ship to death, they can refuel ships in space.

PvP refueling seems to be still hit and miss but it can work.

There, you have the only thing that's working consistently with this mess of a project.
 
Now it's got a friend in 2nd place...

You ever tried taking down an NPC? You do the takedown animation, then the NPC goes back to where he was standing, T-poses for 0.1 seconds, then screams and dies.

Don't forget the part where you instantly die afterwards.

Then the gun they were holding is launched up into orbit.
