This is brilliant. Sunday breakfast, a nice hot hazelnut coffee, delicious warm lulz fresh from CIG.
What on earth were they thinking?

The SC markets are so black they are just perceived as grey...
It seems they just stumble helplessly from one blunder to another - apparently there is no limit to their collective incompetence.
ETA - though I'd still like to see someone I'm familiar with from this thread reproduce it..

Star Citizen started by the micro stuff, ED started with the macro stuff, One has billions of planets, professions and a steady flight model already.
Star Citizen went trough it's own way, not right or wrong, just different for it's needs so it already has FPS, Multicrew Ship's, EVA, Clothing etc
Different games to different aims, they don't need to play catch up. They are their own thing.
Concerning the rest of the majority of recent posts:
Nice attacking on CIG staff we have here, again, nothing related with the Star Citizen Game. After a monthly report with lot of juicy info the only thing discussed is fluffy hate directly from SA forum.
A whole bunch of nothing so that you have free-pass to freely mock and attack CIG and their people.
We had the Studio Door gate, the coffee machine gate and now the Staff Support gate lol
Twisting and turning narratives to fit the hate campaign, again. Now the whales matter lol, poor them.
Exactly as described in the poppy-cutters video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUddm0S3LRI
Bringing some GAME content here's a Shornet vs Starfarer (biggest ship atm).

Straight from the Robertology guide on how to handle Supressive Persons
Welcome to the FDev forums
Hey look, bugs in a alpha game, how extra-ordinary
5 years and $115 mill - extraordinary indeed!
None of that micro stuff actually works though. It 's all broken to the point of making Arkham Knight on PC look like the work of dedicated geniuses.
Also, while you're snidely dismissing the list of embarrassments you call 'hate' feel free to add "still using backer money to push the acting career of the wife of the owner" to that list if you want. Because pictures and video of a film called Xanthippe, with Sandi in the cast, have just come out. And the shooting location is CIG HQ.
Given four and a half years, and one-hundred and fifteen million dollars they can't make a stable tech demo, but boy that recording space and equipment was a good investment for Mrs Roberts.

That's where people loose their credibility, that's something dsmart would say, did they started with 115 million 5 years ago? No. So that sentence is ofc invalid.
Well the truth is that it does work, as shown in MULTIPLE videos on youtube, yes it sometimes glitches and bugs out, even released games do. It's an alpha it's supposed to bug lol
What any of the CIG staff does in their private life is their own business, NO ONE, got nothing to do with that, people pledged for a game to be made, it's being made, surpassing it's initial scope, yes, that lead it to be delayed.
Personal vendetas and bitterness is not excuse to attack people, it's just plain rude.
Final mission of a quest-line which end's with a Vandul Ambush.

And again - we have the "hate" word thrown around.
Perhaps someone could point out those posts that explicitly state that "X hates Y about Star Citizen"
Nobody here is hating anything. The only time it really appears is when new accounts spring up and suddenly it's everywhere like Guinness and a pack of peanuts.
All we are simply pointing out are the major discrepancies between what CIG have said, and what they have produced. Everyone forms their own opinion.

Perhaps if there was something new, something a bit more positive to talk about then people would discuss it, but half the problem with CIG's MO is that they talk so much yet show so little of importance.
By all accounts the PG is coming along, they can do transitions from planet to space, canyon flying is meant to be very enjoyable etc, do they even give people a glimpse of the process? No, it's just more poxy talk "Hang in there guys, just you wait until you see all the great stuff we can see!!"
There's only so many times you can listen to that, no-one wants to feel like a donkey being led around by a carrot.
I think after a while people just get sick of it and make up their own enjoyment. If CIG wants to take the out of them then they'll do the same in return.
Unless you can show me where I said they started with $115 million 5 years ago I'm afraid your reply is invalid my friend.
(and it's still not about Derek Smart
)
Oddly enough whenever I see someone spouting conspiracy theories about Doctor Smart and his goon patrol, I immediately think that person clearly has no credibility.
So stop trying to blame everything on Derek.
It looks terrible.
I'd disagree. It looks very nice - but it fly's like Freelancer
Now what did CIG say about Freelancer?
Well....... it 'sort of' has those things in a vague concept demo kind of way - you can't be telling me you think any of those are that well developed? SURELY someone has time to stop every single alarm going catship crazy when you get out/in of your cockpit?
I've noticed an odd pattern with CIG stuff - they never say "the team have done this" - they name people, say they're doing stuff, then provide nothing. I really don't care about what Bob's doing with his coffee now or what new ship you want to tease by saying Jeremy is working on it - I want to see "this will be released on this date, this has been put back because of X but will be coming at this date" - it's just fluff - a story that is being spun to advertise and tease new features and suggest they are further along than they appear to be.
ps. video amazing - he forgot to unmute the sound for ages after he did it so we didn't hear all the alarms going off - it actually kinda helped. the weapon pick up smoothness and sights were my favourite bits.

You cannot have it both ways Commando. CIG cannot be too busy working hard on the game the backers gave them five years and $115m to make to go twenty minutes down the road to a free booth at the largest gaming expo in the world, and simultaneously be using backer-funded facilities at their HQ to pursue the vanity projects of the owner's wife by filming a movie.
Everything CIG has in terms of equipment, furnishings, and buildings was paid for by the backers. Everyone who works there is paid for by the backers. It is absolutely relevant if those resources are being used to further projects unrelated to what they were funded for. Be that wear and tear on the recording equipment, using the buildings, or a senior executive pursuing an acting career while taking a wage from the backers.
These are absolutely pertinent to the question "why in the name of Christ is there not an actual game yet?"

Usually the excuse they make is "well, CIG lets employees play D&D in the offices..." Because that's exactly the same thing as the boss' wife using their resources to pursue her film anti-career.
Speaking of the film industry, whatever happened to their plans to lease out their mocap studio to make money for the project? Considering they had to repeatedly drain the coffers at literally THE MOST EXPENSIVE MOCAP STUDIO IN THE WORLD, I'm guessing that boondoggle was a total, complete failure on all levels.
Far too many of CIG's plans and initiatives seem to go that route. Either they surface like beached whales rotting away on some forgotten beach or are shoved under seven carpets. You can't blame people for being suspicious about the huge backlog of plans and promises remaining, after so many years of shoddy deliveries and broken tech demos.
Alpha this, alpha that. There's always an excuse for them not managing to pull off anything well while somehow imagining they'll have the ability to do so at an increasingly nebulous point in the future.
Not with this incompetent man stuck in the 90s at the helm, they won't.
