Angels Fall First is out now. It's only $13.50 and looks funner than everything SC set out to do on about every level. However, like SC, there doesn't seem to be dogfighting.

Clear proof such as the victim, witnesses and his dick?

Maybe it's a cultural problem. Perhaps in Germany actual sexual harassment is not considered as bad as the vile crime of googling someone's name or being mean on facebook.

Or maybe it's just not a problem, until it happens to you or someone you know. I mean, I'm from a filthy socialist EU country and I deffo wouldn't classify dickpics over the internet as a term upon which one could legally prosecute. But having witnessed the whole thing with Dickwulf from start to finish (and knowing of another case before it, where he did it for sure), it is definitely a disgustoid thing to do that you absolutely should get branded and mocked over the internet for.

Have they ever even come close to being able to articulate why this could somehow remotely be seen as something that at a very long distance could possibly, with the best of intent, be confused with something that might at first glance be confused for a good idea?

Wait so there's not even footage of in-game combat?

I just assumed it would be like Elite: Dangerous but their own take on it, like long distance volleys or a more realistic flight model. E:D is all about dogfighting in space, but it takes liberties (such as making it difficult to pivot or yaw around and shoot behind you, so they act more like planes).

I really enjoy E:D but I love space games in general (i sink a lot of time in Space Engineers) and I genuinely am sorry Star Citizen isn't panning out for its backers.

I actually liked where SC combat was going a lot more than E:D's. The limit on ship rotation isn't as hilariously low as in elite, so you get a lot faster paced gameplay. Unfortunately, the last year gave us roughly zero progress, so core problems with it that should've been fixed in 2014 are still present.

So I just played a game of Angels Fall First. I was helming a Battleship, that had like 30 other players in it who were running around it fixing battle damage, or manning turrets, or flying out of it in Interceptors.

Anyway it was the middle of a giant gently caress off battle, I had no idea what I was doing, explosions and klaxons were going off everywhere. I rammed another battleship and we won.
