We've seen the same thing here over the years the various cult minded posters well they come...and they go never to be seen again.

I didn't read the last 5000 pages of any Star Citizen threads online, but here's my up-to-date opinion about all this:

Too much talk, too much discussions of little details and obvious scam-sales scheme, too much wait beyond what was estimated/promised, too much false advertising, too much donations of individuals, too much promises, too much buzzwords and micro-details to appear in magazines/articles to try to scam more people, or for fancy screenshots or for youtube videos... and in the end... all that for basically nothing, no game, just meh...

Duke Nukem Forever or any other failed game of the history of the game industry deserves more attention and talking than this.

People of reality shows like Georgie Shore deserve more fan-base and attention than any of the devs or marketing people behind this project are getting.

End of Story.

That sub just confuses me. I wondered at first if it was a parody, but it appears legit. People really do sit hating on DS... i mean, its not like DS is Kim Cardassian or anything. Let's be honest here, Derek in the wider world is a nobody (Sorry Derek, but its true), he's only famous in a relatively small circle, and that's mainly because of his campaign against SC which all kicked off around the time of the Escapist article.

I can only think they feel that DS threatens the existence of SC, when the real threat to the game comes from within CIG, not any external force. Of course, should SC fail, then they will be pointing to DS or other reasons as the reason for that failure.

It will of course be highly amusing, i think DS might also find it amusing "1 man singlehandedly brings down 140+ million funded project from the outside! Here are 10 ways in which he did it! Number 7 will shock you!"
Click to expand...

Though infamous better explains it; the reason this whole "Derek Smart vs CIG" took off is because the media took my July blog statement (you did read this "How I got involved" blog, right?) and made news out of it.

If I were just some guy around the block, nobody would care; let alone make it media news. This is evidenced by the fact that the alarm that I was raising, had already been raised long before I brought a pulpit, a megaphone, a flamethrower, and asbestos knickers with me.

I just happened to be a notable developer who was not only known for making vastly ambitious space combat games, but also rumored to be in some competition (it's rubbish) with Chris Roberts from decades ago.

Funny thing is that, some of the media people who were using me as the spear of dissent, didn't quite reconcile the fact that I could be right. All that some of them saw was click-bait, and a chance to create headlines with me as the scapegoat.

Naturally it backfired spectacularly.

Then CIG made the one mistake that they're still paying for. They made it personal, then issued a bogus press release that was designed to vilify me. When they couldn't prove their statements made, that too backfired (in typical CIG fashion).

At that point, /r/ds was formed when the creators (also the purveyors of profit who run /r/starcitizen_trades) decided that I was a threat to their income. Then the anti-social clowns showed up and started using it as a staging ground to wage a proxy war obo of their ilk and CIG. And there, they've done everything from harassment and attacks, to outright doxing (most of the time involving people who aren't even me), under the guise of "archiving". Yet, they're very upset that their activities aren't encouraged anywhere else, not even in /r/StarCitizen. So they remain quarantined and coraled in /r/ds. Like cattle.

The Escapist didn't get involved until months (Oct) later, after my blog about the ToS changes went live, along with my well publicized legal action against CIG.

Then croberts and his crony Ortwin, in their infinite wisdom, took the nuclear option and came after me, the article writer, and the site.

That too backfired.

The rest is history.

Yup. Some thought DS was claiming CR literally send him a schedule personally, and they were doubting that. When pointed out he was referring to the schedule they all got, some thought DS was pretending to personally have gotten a schedule from CR. Its like a tasteless parody of autism. If these guys are for real crap will really hit the fan once they realize they wont get what they want...

Well, think about this: these are people still furiously throwing money into a dumpster fire only because they feel that if they don't do that, then the day will come when "Derek Smart was right' becomes a major reality.

The Reddit DS thread clearly only exists because of the participants' own insecurity about SC. If they were half as confident about it coming to fruition as they make out, they would simply ignore him. Instead they broadcast DS's comments to an audience that has mostly never heard of him, making him seem all the more significant. Stupid beyond words...

Yes. Which is why I've always stated that they are the worst thing that could ever have happened to the project. Bar none.

derek is just salty, he has no business in attacking cig at the first place anyway, especially given his capacity as self proclaimed lod developer which is in more or less the same state as star citizen even to this very second, 1 BILLION dollar or not, pretty irrelevant, using money and popularity excuse to differ his game and his company (and his own self) from sc and cig (and croberts) doesn't really work when one know he has the exact same crap with his lod game... it's a perfect example of the saying that one who live in a glass house shouldn't throw rock.

derek, croberts... same crap different name, and actually one might as well say that derek is worse because croberts didn't attck derek first.

fun fact, derek didn't refund his customer on steam, despite his parade on how he got refund from cig, say a lot about the whole shenangians.

another example, derek making fun of cig censorship? newsflash, he himself censored his game steam forum.

and where is that game anyway? as vaporware as star citizen, hence derek = croberts.
Click to expand...

Having reported your post as instructed, I am only going to address the two blatant falsehoods which you guys over on /r/ds like to parrot

1) Steam handles refunds. The developers and publishers have no control over that

2) We censor and police our Steam forums just anyone else else (including this forum) would

3) The notion that LoD is vaporware, is hilarious - on merits alone. But do feel free to compare a self-funded indie game developed with less than a dozen people, to a $146 million crowd-funded game which over 500 people have been involved in

Well this explains why they're heavily pushing that Drake. The sales have completely flat-lined. It's almost as if they need the money.

The team have been working hard on all of these, and soon there will be a meeting to decide if there will be a meeting about the go/no-go of a meeting to schedule the previous meeting.

They are only a few days away from showing wondrous levels of fidelity that you'll need to upgrade your fidelity sensors to see just how wondrous it really is. Meanwhile, buy an Idris.

Click to expand...


That list is quite incomplete tbh. Some fairly key promised elements missing there even from the kickstarter in particular.

Otherwise this is a great source: http://www.scqa.info/

I really hope someone is archiving all the statements by CIG to tell the story. There is indeed a possibility that when SC 1.0 releases Murray´s NMS retribution onslaught is going to look like a boring meme compared to that. There is even a sand worm.

The key to survivability is that whatever the MVP for SC ends up being that at least it has quality and content enough to overcome that market contact and all the inevitable broken promises.

Or it might be 3.0... (I know, I know, I was the one who was sure that 3.0 is going to release in 2016)

Edit: That's Sputniknews, yuck.

Happy Hour: April 7th, 2017
TLDR
  • Today's Happy Hour featured members of the Ship Tech Art Team: Matt Sherman, Patrick Salerno, and Matt Intrieri.
  • The damage modelling system that's currently in the game apparently scales very well when it comes to bigger ships. They did mention that the pixel density may be a little less due to size, but it more than likely won't be noticeable.
  • Someone asked about radars being switchable such as going from a 3D display on one ship to 2D one from another ship for example, the answer was they're not at that point where they can do stuff like that. Their focus right now is making ships have their unique flair and feel to them and down the line they'll look into specifically allowing stuff like that. They want ships to be as customizable as possible, but right now there's a limit.
  • Jared(Disco Lando) won't be shaving his beard until 3.0 comes out.
  • When asked about what tech their looking forward to the most coming online was unanimous in being Item 2.0. We've all heard it, but the way they talk about it will really open up how ships operate such as leaving the cockpit and still having the ship on. Matt Intrieri also talked about the new implementation of turrets and how the work on that has been promising.
  • Damage states in atmosphere won't be any different than space, apart from the fact that debris in atmosphere are affected by gravity. They are however working on another iteration of the damage state system which will create a more realistic look and feel when it comes to parts being shot off as right now they sort of "Pulse" the item off the ship in a cone rather than taking the physics of the projectile into account which is what this new system is aiming for.
    • Someone also asked about deflections and ricochets and they said they will happen, but not to the extent where the projectile will keep travelling and then hit another ship or object as it's too taxiing to do that at this time.
  • Ship ramps and lifts are taken into account when you do land a ship on rough terrain, however there is a limit to how far the ship will account for terrain and finding a suitable landing spot will be important.

  • The damage modelling system that's currently in the game apparently scales very well when it comes to bigger ships. They did mention that the pixel density may be a little less due to size, but it more than likely won't be noticeable.
  • Someone asked about radars being switchable such as going from a 3D display on one ship to 2D one from another ship for example, the answer was they're not at that point where they can do stuff like that. Their focus right now is making ships have their unique flair and feel to them and down the line they'll look into specifically allowing stuff like that. They want ships to be as customizable as possible, but right now there's a limit.
  • Jared(Disco Lando) won't be shaving his beard until 3.0 comes out.
  • When asked about what tech their looking forward to the most coming online was unanimous in being Item 2.0. We've all heard it, but the way they talk about it will really open up how ships operate such as leaving the cockpit and still having the ship on. Matt Intrieri also talked about the new implementation of turrets and how the work on that has been promising.
  • Damage states in atmosphere won't be any different than space, apart from the fact that debris in atmosphere are affected by gravity. They are however working on another iteration of the damage state system which will create a more realistic look and feel when it comes to parts being shot off as right now they sort of "Pulse" the item off the ship in a cone rather than taking the physics of the projectile into account which is what this new system is aiming for.
    • Someone also asked about deflections and ricochets and they said they will happen, but not to the extent where the projectile will keep travelling and then hit another ship or object as it's too taxiing to do that at this time.
  • Ship ramps and lifts are taken into account when you do land a ship on rough terrain, however there is a limit to how far the ship will account for terrain and finding a suitable landing spot will be important.
