News flash, folks: one day where CIG didn't self destruct with Chairgate 2.0 or get raided by the Feds doesn't mean that Derek and the CIG leakers are wrong. They are still running low on whales to milk and there is more backer unrest by the day.

Take your ADHD meds and wait for the next debacle instead of panicking because the ELE isn't here just yet

Over 3000 pages in six months and some of you are still treating this as a sprint and not a marathon. Go look at shitizen posts from the start of the thread if you think the end isn't coming.

Okay, I think I figured out the " 11" Eightace was referring to.

What if it has some connection to this movie
Lucky Number Slevin,
Chris Roberts was on this movie as producer.


As someone pointed out there is an empty space before the ' 11"
Slevin = levin = eleven.

Probably. The thing is, outside of the noise that's been made in the thread, what has CIG done recently? Not Star Traders, not leakers, CIG themselves. Unless I'm completely missing something (which is likely) then they've gone from doing really overtly embarrassing things to just being sort of annoying to watch.

I think Ben looking visibly uncomfortable next to Roberts was the last one? Sandi's gone quiet, they haven't released a new ship or poo poo the bed during a concept sale, Chris is mush mouthing his way through SQ42...

Derek has made a few interesting points recently, first on Austin, he admits plans can change and almost goes as far as saying he's not always right. The core of what he said was true though, a decision was made to kill Austin as meaningful CIG studio last year, meaning no disrespect to QA and the server guys but those roles can more easily be remote to management than others.

He also said "I try to obfuscate things a little in order to protect my sources", which is logical and glad to see he's doing it but also explains why he's vague sometimes. The 3 people leaving last week thing is specific, I don't think he's been wrong about anything apart from the timescale of when doom will fall, but those are predictions rather than facts.

If you have a total of 11 or so people leaving over the next couple of months, some high profile, I don't see how we couldn't notice. So as Chris Roberts would say "early days" for the E.L.E.

If he said Gravis and voodoo I'd believe him. SBs were much easier to get working before the days of IRQ sharing. The early ones only used a single DMA channel and 2 IRQs. Getting a Gravis to work was a beast. Then you'd have to build a special game-only bootdisk to get all those drivers stuffed into himem so you had enough space to launch tie.exe

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?
I'm not entirely convinced, at least as of this year, that the reason people who are leaving CIG are not more forthcoming with info is due to the claim that "with one phone call" people will never work in the industry again. There is not one person working at CIG who has the kind of pull. Just working at CIG at this point is its own demerit - they are the laughingstock of the entire industry now. It would be much easier to sell me on the idea that it's generally not a good idea in a relatively small industry to poo poo on anyone else, even someone as incompetent as CIG, and that doing so makes it harder to get a job because if you'll spout off about one company, you'll spout off about another. That I can get behind. People still working at CIG: get your asses out now. I'd argue that it's already too late, but it's going to get worse. Put your portfolio together and get the gently caress out of dodge.

I don't really know what the tone is like on the RSI forums. I guess I agree with you in that Star Marine being scrapped wasn't so much a conscious decision as it was the inevitable result of mismanagement. They were obviously never "on the right track", and it's good that they're being ridiculed for their exceptional incompetence, but the people acting as if Star Marine was a feature they had been promised rather than a developmental springboard to Chris Roberts' vision of a feature complete Star Citizen are being dishonest. It's not legitimate criticism.

They've been quiet because: Maintenance mode

If you were being generous, it would be caused by the back-end changes needed to (unfuck the servers) bring persistent items into the PU. But the actual answer is they have nothing to show because all their real work is going towards SQ42 and the dribbles they can spare are delivering tiny patches that fix 2 bugs. The latest Bugsmashers showed the entire work of one patch where they fixed an entity garbage collection bug. That was all of the fixes for 2.3.1D - https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/4ddqdz/ptu_231d_is_out/

It was 4 lines of code.
