Star Citizen Discussions v7

So Squadron 42.

3 parts?

First part/prelude included free with SC?

Then what does this buy? Sq42 standalone pledge

Now I know part 2 is included for the early backers up to $6m - does everyone after need to buy the separate package to do part 2? And does it include part 3?

The product pages on the website make none of this clear. What's the current concept?

Now this vast amount of mocap and script and missions - which part is that? The prelude? Part 2?

I am bamboozled.

ps. fave 3.0 screenie so far

Game Talk Live hosted an interview last night with Derek Smart, Michael Nigthingale and Kevin Mahoney....

Belatedly, what I found most interesting about this was how little weight any of them gave the Crytek case. No one suggested it was even a precursor to an ELE, and so I suggest we treat it similarly.

Instead I suggest we warm the popcorn, ready for the Christmas live stream, the on-line festival of wonder that is Chris never again trying to play 'his game' live. Which is a pity, as I miss the Two Ronnies and Morecambe and Wise at Christmas.

Or perhaps I mean a Benny Hill quality of farcical delight... or maybe it's the Chuckle Brothers.... to me.... to you....

PS. The Behringer Model D looks to be both epic and amazing value for money, and is very firmly on my list, joining various other monosynths and many polysynths.

So much discussion about sonething that doesn't exist outside of glitchy demo and fancy concept art scope.

And yes, Derek tries not to hype court case and rightly so...it is just getting started.

It's a very strong possibility nonetheless.

Personally, I think it likely CryTek will be satisfied with a pay off AND steps taken to protect their IP. That could be expensive and most certainly inconvenient (although the excuse for delay would be welcome) but not necessarily a game killer.

If CIG cannot pay? If they will not pay? If they decide to make a fight of it?

CryTek looks like it can make a very strong case and can possibly get the game shut down by denying the use if their IP.....and that could shut out F42s Frankfurt office AND LumberYard as well.

Stuff like that WOULD be a game killer
 
Remains to be seen how much stretch there is between reality and CIGspeak but if there's about 20h of content, I fail to see how or why that would be too short by any measure. For a single player game that's pretty decent these days imho.
 
Just got up and read it again.

Tanks.

Tanks!

How can you even begin to parody this stuff??

:D

No 1 - bring us up to periscope depth and launch the tanks!

But sir, we're in Space?

Nevermind that No 1 you have your orders! And you can stop passively aggressively disrespecting me or you'll be keelhauled!

You and me both dude. I've been leveling my smuggler then realized nobody is actually making those xD I probably should use my instant 80 on a shipwright at one point. But I only play there from time to time, when I need that X vs. Tie fix.

Edit: oh wait, that's the YT-1300 Transporter that's crafted. I just realized the Otana is a Mustafar loot drop :D But afaik on Legends it should be tradeable, you should ask around if nobody wants to run the quest with you.

I imagine we will be treated to twitch streams of several hours of players trying to load a tank into a Starfarer so they can use it like puff the magic dragon only to watch it glitch through the floor bounce off the surface and into orbit.
 
Accidentally opened up a version of this thread from a year ago and read two pages not realising because the news, topics and project status was essentially all the same.
:D I occasionally do that on purpose, it's always funny to read what is supposed to be released in 2016/2017. Did you know that we already have Alpha 4.0 and Squadron 42 Episode 2?

Yep, thats basically what my issue is, need to get some time I can dedicate to a decent raiding team.

You seen the ambassador for the smuggler class is pushing for Spice crafting to come back, and getting positive feedback on it? :)

Missed that because I had to remove legends on account of my HDD running full. But as soon as I can convince my friends to endure the horrible experience on ground (it is ancient after all) I might get some potential smugglers at one point. But I think we should keep it on the low, or the mighty Yaffle will smite us. Let's make fun of SC again instead ;) But good to know SWL gets the hush-hush acknowledgment it deserves.

So back on topic, when their alpha can be as fun as JTL was 13 years ago, we can talk progress.

It does really look like CIG are now just chucking any old money-grubbing rubbish at the whale wall and seeing if it'll stick. Then again, it's understandable - those defence lawyers aren't going to pay for themselves.
