You're now trying to move the goalposts with a subjective term like "important missing features or mechanism", and I somehow get the impression that you'll find any excuse to dismiss whatever I come up with.

Exactly. This is why they are real.
Are you playing anything besides SC? The gaming industry is full of innovation, also of the risky kind. Always has been.
This is great. It does not change the toxic influence the legacy of SC will have on the gaming market.
And? Do you think having a 1:1 model of the Milky Way was not risky? What is the point here, really?
You are not getting server meshing. Deal with it.
Pure Male Bovine Excrement.
Minecraft was in Alpha, and it was reviewed extensively. It was one of the reasons why I bought in at that stage of development.
Kerbal Space Program was in Alpha, and it was reviewed extensively. It was one of the reasons why I bought it at that stage of development.
Space Engineers, Valheim, Fortnight, Subnautica, the list goes on and on. If they're taking players money, then reviewing them should be fair game for journalists.
The only "playable Alpha" game I know of that insists that it's unfair to review the game (but paradoxically claims it is a playable game when taking your money) is Star Citizen. A continuously crowdfunded development project that despite not having delivered the game back in 2014 when they promised they would, not only continues to enrich the Roberts Clan through a despicable and duplicitous Hollywood Accounting shell company shuffle, but is now paying millions in dividends to those same individuals, in a particularly egregious and utterly unethical abuse of the crowd funding model.
I disagree - the "Static Server Meshing" (basic instancing and servers like other MMOs have) is easily doable by CIG and so I expect that to be added.
Dynamic Server Meshing? Maybe by 2030 or some other crazy far-off year?
I'm talking about the server meshing that the dreamers think they are getting. The one with thousands of players and massive ship battles. The one with the bullets crossing servers.
All they'll get is something that looks like any other MMO.
Ah ok - that's what CIG call Dynamic Server Meshing - and yes I agree, it's not happening anytime before 2030 if ever.I'm talking about the server meshing that the dreamers think they are getting. The one with thousands of players and massive ship battles. The one with the bullets crossing servers.

Backers: SC is the bestest game already in its current state.
Everyone: Great, let's review it so people will know how awesome it is.
Backers: You can't review it it's alpha!
Everyone: ...
Only favourable reviews are allowed. Anything bad is because it's alpha. Anything good is because it's already more fun than all AAAA+ games out there.

I don’t remember you voicing that here to be honest.
Which aspects of the new plan do you find superior? And which aspects of 'Dynamic Server Meshing' now seem more achievable to you because of it?
So best space game ever, but it cannot be reviewed
Is forbidden fruit.So best space game ever, but it cannot be reviewed
Let's see how this will have aged by the end of the year.
Don't go trying 3.16.1 PTU then...the server 30k's are back...as it is in the latest PTU build, the servers are crashing every 5 minutes

Y’know, the original definition of 'Server Meshing'. Not the current 'same as any other game' networking planned for Q3/Q4.
(PS it’s still cute that you’re so certain CIG won’t miss a deadline
)Wait a minute, I know how tricky you dreamers are with your dates. Which year?
Be reassured, I never try PTU versions.Don't go trying 3.16.1 PTU then...the server 30k's are back...as it is in the latest PTU build, the servers are crashing every 5 minutes
As sure as eggs is eggs, goalposts will be moved again.He qualified it:

2030
Still not happening.
Perhaps that's more concerning that important missing features/mechanisms are still missing after 10 years.
That sounds like a project in development hell. I'm sure you're aware of that term being the programmer that you are.
