The rumours of Ben being a Formula 1 driver have been greatly exaggerated
I'll move that rumour into the 'false and unfounded' folder right away.
Done. It's in there now alongside Squadron 42 existing and Sandi Gardiner's qualifications for her job.

Sometimes we just can't have nice things :/
Like the BMM...

And above 30 FPS
And fibre that reaches the rack.
And orbits
CIG have said that after release you will be able to buy game packages, these include a ship bundled with the game. Are these two packages an example of what we can expect to see after release? They include the game(s) but there is no need for such packages at this time, it would be safe to say that anyone who has spent over $1000 probably already owns the game.
ESCORT PACK - $1,325.00 USD
CONVOY PACK - $3,500.00 USD

Ahh so if I buy the convoy pack I really could get my BMM straight away?...

I love that "Download the game you just ***-ing bought" is counted as an extra.
Thanks Chris.
I'm so glad I didn't spork out $650 for a ship that only exists in a game I can't play.
Dodged a Perfectly Rendered bullet there...
Oh that is amazingly similar. Something to ponder, FDev went around that limitation in floating point calculations (in Elite II Frontier) by using shifting reference frames (which really makes sense in space, if you consider physics..) so coordinates would never become too big. You could see the jitter begin (esp. in during combat) ever so slightly before the change of reference frame. If I had to make a space game today i'd start by using the same trick.
It's almost as if rendering a 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 metre galaxy with millimetre precision was hard...
Unbeliever! Persistence will not budge one inch. This is just some metric tricks. The pipelines will exert the correct pressure to keep it all in place soon enough!
Yeah. Lawyers are generally protected when directed by their client to do stupid stuff... Which is why it would be highly amusing if OF sticks his oar in because he isn't in this position.
Well it is if you roll over to 0 every 1,000,000,000,000.....
Kerbal Space Program got around it by rendering multiple camera views layered on top of each other to give the impression of one large solar sized map, while in fact you are viewing multiple scales at the same time. Additionally, coordinate origin rebasing happens every 6000 units.
It does wonders when people actually know what they are doing.
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 metre = 6,684,587,122 Astronomical Units
When Stanton is complete (middle of next year maybe?) it'll be 90,000,000km (0.6AU) in diameter:
Star Citizen's map as of Alpha 3.2.2 isn't even 0.05 AU yet.
That explains it then, they are simply trying to cram too much into too little space
As we speak, pipelines are gearing up to spill content and game area onto the fundament. Soon there will not only be even more content - it will be distributed over even larger area, too!

Why a unidimensional galaxy?
Also, if the scale is an issue just do like our fellow Venezuelian economists, slash the whole thing by a few zeroes and job done.
No - it'll extend into both directions. And up too. I mean, it's a rather silly question, no? It's about volume - not area or lines, cos pipelines produce volumes of stuff! Eh?
