Watching this weeks ATV - and I'm already scratching my head in complete bewilderment.

sum it up for us please :)

There's a really funny segment on how they've improved fps by changing the way the heartbeat representation in mobiglass is performed;
If that (very basic method which should never have been done that way in the first place) warranted a segment then to me it indicates how bad things are in the spaghetti code base they've got.
I just had a flash in my mind of the Golgafrinchans on prehistoric earth deciding what colour to paint their square wheel in the HHGTTG :)
Edit: actually, come to think of it, there's lots of similarities between cig (management) and the Golgafrinchans !

SC v3.x gets "better" with each patch...
Too bad that Jim Sterling is not fan of space games...if he was at this point he had made 100+ videos about SC, since he "enjoys" playing broken games...
and SC business model for him would be pure lolzbucket...

Frankly I am holding his feet to the fire regarding his complete and utter lack of coverage of SC. He's been covering pay to win, lootboxes, and all the bad stuff happening in the industry, but he has not touched SC with a ten-foot pole. And I don't think that he just wasn't interested. It's much more likely that he wanted to avoid antagonizing all the SC-believers and apologists.

And even if he did a video NOW, the fact of the matter is that criticizing SC back around the time of the Kickstarter was akin to heresy. I felt like an outcast for stating my doubt as to the technical and operative feasability of what they were promising. I don't "need" Jim Sterling to validate my complaints, in my mind he should've spoken out back when Star Citizen was promising the world and most everyone fell for it. That's when he could've made a difference. Now, with people getting impatient and finally starting to ask the hard questions, and the constant delays and the quality of SC releases exposing it for what it is, there's hardly any valor in pointing out the issues.

It's my belief that he chose to dodge the fire.

And any day that he keeps ignoring the absolutely blatant Pay to Win hellhole that is Star Citizen is another day that he just avoids a confrontation he feels could make him unpopular.

But hey. Perhaps he'll prove me wrong. It would not fix the earlier fact, but it would be *something*.

That's horrible :( $7000 and they give him nothing but abuse for following the SSD/moar RAM advice. I mean why would he think an SSD would help?

I think reason for this is that its much easier and cheaper to bash EA and other Evil publishers because those almost everybody hates...
SC just requires too much research about its development process, sales, lawsuit and other drama.

Still utterly baffles me why people put even smallest fraction of this sort of money into this train wreck really. Going into hundreds is bad enough but thousands. Wow. CIG do quality cash cow milking and that's about all that's quality in this.

I don't think that's a genuine guy. It's somebody acting.

Of those that have sunk in thousands I would be interested to know when they did this? Are the majority still hanging on in there from the early days of the Kickstarter, for instance? How many have invested repeatedly in the last 6 months to a year?

If you are putting that amount in now I would have to question your judgement.

Edit: I see another response has suggested upgrading his CPU as well. They must be trolling him [haha]
I would love to see this game running on a big, multi-socketed server board to see what it eventually takes to get a solid 60fps all the time, if it is actually possible of course. We have some monster machines here at work but I don't think I would get away with it.

I think Asp Explorer has already run it on machines and networks that would make a Cray 3 flip the chessboard and is still limps along at "borderline unplayable" down to "pants"
