Hey everyone! In just a few weeks CIG will go into planning week (aka, planning month). The "week" where CIG throw out all their previous plans and come up with an entirely new set of plans. I'm hoping the new roadmap is in place before then so we get a really transparent view into what is planned and what changes.

Wait… this is them being serious?! What a good joke.
I mean, sure, I guess. Given the pace of development, they're probably getting seriously good at Hearts by now.
Additionally the bashing in this place "only goes so far". also. This guy is willing to spend hard cash to force his argument to become true. I m sure he and similar cultists will call it "committment" or "dedication" but you are right, when they call others haters....they are just projecting their own mindset.
I feel a bit sad for the devs - there are probably a lot of hardworking folks just trying to knock-out a respectable game (as it's going on their CV at the end of the day)... and then in strides Capt Cobblers and his army of blue, er, or maybe green pixels... demading pipelined fidels.
In other news, I watched Tremors again the other day. Does SC have residual boulders in yet? ;-)
To Orkney, yes...but they're all Vikings up here and not so much Scottish. The MacLeods are western Scotland and Skye...my clan is central highlands.
I didn't have one 30k during the entire freefly...today like I mentioned, I had 5 in the space of a couple of hours. The descent into 30k chaos isn't always the case, but it has been notably worse after the last 2 free fly events, this one and the previous effort. It really is unplayable as you simply don't have time to do anything in the intervals between the servers crashing out. If you're daft enough to try trading...you end up seriously out of pocket, mining...forget it.
It's only sold at Levski on Delamar...if we get another freefly
“What an embezzle! What an ultramaroon!”
That is all.
A Backer always pays his technical debt.
P.S. Always.

I started playing a little over a year ago. When I first started, it was exciting. A new star system was right around the corner, a cloud city, and even an epic new game mode. The development...

A faithful jumps in to explain
Frequent server crashes and 20FPS is way better than 10FPS!!!!
Jesus, when you have to bargain yourself down so far, its probably time to reevaluate your life.
But CIGs marketing heavily implies its a playable game with loads of content and a great time will be had by all!
Another faithful
Yes, its entirely OPs fault for being misled by CIG! Also the usual excuses.
Indeed, common mistake thinking SC is a game. Perhaps CIG should stop advertising it as one.
And finally, a realist
Someone suggests 5 years more...
And of course someone thinks sooner...
Floodgate? LOL. Someone's been swallowing what CR is offering.
Oh my, and another who is gulping it down...
Been working towards from the start? Funny. When they started they had no idea what they needed to deliver on CR's ever expanding list of features.
Sounds like "It’s a scam. Should’ve realised that before you signed on." This is no faithful, this is a heretic! Ban him with fire!!
Yes, 5 or 9, but not 10 or 20!
Please disregard the fact that SC went from "playable game" in 2019 into "early alpha state" in 2020. This is fine.
…and that by his own account, they've been working on delivering it for 10 years already.
as far as I m concerned CIG in 2020 is still busy laying the foundation. Its not a game yet and has a lot of stuff missing that needs to come together to make it one. Star Citizen today is pretty much a tech demo same as it was back in 2014....more bloated and bigger yes....but the same tech demo nevertheless
Semi-Acceptable game as long as you game it just like devs want. Any deviations and it comes crashing down.
The trouble is, they don't have any idea how they want us to play it in the first place
At the moment, (when the servers don't crash every half hour) it's all lowest common denominator stuff...fit some guns and go pew something. Everything else is broken...After all...It's an online marketing outlet, not a game.
All in all, Ci¬G remind me a lot of Harley Davidson. A cult like Owners Group who keep banishing me from their exclusive forum (last time for persistent heckling and abuse) plus they've been sending me emails every month since 1998 informing me of the new and vastly overpriced models of metallic tat they're persistently trying to sell me...I haven't been near a Harley shop since I bought my 95th anniversary Springer in 1998...

He's still making that film though, he's certainly not making a game inside that turnip shaped head of his. Sqn 42 will be nowt more than an interactive movie assuming he doesn't refactor it all again after seeing some more future technical debt he wants to shoehorn into his magnum opus freshly stolen from CP2077 next Thursday...I can just see him ringing Keanu Reeves' agent every day to ask Keanu to pop over and shoot some mocap...

Seeing as it’s quiet, have some completely unverifiable gossip from Uncle Random Citizen:

They did mention being mates with a Lead Environment Artist on the same day, FWIW.
I don’t feel like I’ve actually noticed a lot of churn in the networking team. (It’s always fronted by that very dour-seeming Brummie guy at any rate).
But we have heard many a tale of high churn generally from more reliable sources in the past. So it doesn’t seem impossible on that front

Thoughts:
Why does one car have a janky lightsaber on it?
What flight model? Its just turretting.
LOL... ship goes boom.
A bit of a funny thread

One thing that made me laugh a little was this
Remember when SC kickstarted, the space game market was really lacking. And here we are, 8 years later, and the game probably has more space games relassed than most space game gamers can handle. I mean, i still want to play NMS at some point... but it just keeps getting kicked down the road.
And SC is still nowhere near release!
I think the OP is being rather optimistic, because most people who are interested in SC during alpha probably already have it. When newbies turn up to to try it out and complain about bugs, they get told alpha isn't for them, to go away. Until SC releases, there is no reason why most space game players will want to play SC.
haha... SC, the BDSSE that doesn't actually need players because NPCs will do it all!
SC definitely has no competition. No other game is so unplayable.

So its not news to anyone that the gaming marker has become saturated, it has been for quite a few years. But I think few people actually think about the consequences of such saturation. So, what...
