Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Oh another one. Maximum speed of what was it? Point 3 C? 0.2c The fun part with that is that CIG has to make distances and sizes a lot less than 1:1 to make travel meaningful. The funnier part is that people are completely hostile against going for a faster imaginary/arbitrary fast travel speed, because relativity. No immersion/realism problem about making the universe 1:100 though.

grimcreaper posted:Dear Mr Smart. I just want to thank you for time spent on this E-Crusade. Its very important to me that the shithead Croberts gets properly poo poo on for destroying what would be my absolute Dream Game. I never backed it, but im still considering sending a refund request for my dreams and hopes. Well, I'm certain that your hopes and dreams are worth something. After all, that's why the legal system invented punitive damages, restitution and "pain & suffering" remedies I'd say, in your case, $100 should do it. Go for it!

A new jump point would go up somewhere out there, and the first guy that found it would be able to call dibs on naming (unsure if he would be able to name the actual system, the jump point, or just get listed as the discoverer though). He could also keep the link secret (until someone else found it that is), sell it to other players, or sell it to UEE and make the system known to everyone.

Do they not have a concept of the size of a solar system The plan is to have time scaling (1:6 or 1:8?), size scaling (irrelevant for celestial bodies since they are essentially pictures with different LoD, landing is done via instance changing auto-pilot), distance scaling (Freelancer K and M metric system, although we know from the last 10ftC that meters are in) and a fast travel speed of 0.2c (in a straight line between two set points, no maneuvering).

Gryphon0468 posted:Derek disappoints, as usual. Btw the ship will almost certainly be the Prowler, due to Ben stating its not the Crucible, and shares a name with a ship from Wing Commander and it's the only ship besides the Crucible left in the line up that is still unseen. It's pretty simple to figure that out if you follow along. I will reveal it on Sat morning. No, it's not the Prowler or the Crucible.

System to system is via jump points, natural wormholes. How can you have time compression in a multiplayer game? Why don't they just make you travel faster so it makes sense? Edit: What the gently caress am I doing? This isn't even a real game.

Because it is common knowledge that goons ruin everything I will reveal the name of the ship to Beer4theBeerGod and he can then decide if he wants to leak it - and when. So, B4BG, go ahead and DM me on Twitter.

Sillybones posted:How can you have time compression in a multiplayer game? Not time compression, time scaling. A game day will take 3 RL hours to pass for example, and time is universal for all players. They need time scaling for things like day/night transitions in planetary maps, player aging efffects etc. At least, thats what they are saying. Regarding the speed of travel, it does not matter anyway. The speed - and the size of a star system - will depend (if CIG are good with this) on the mean time needed for the average player to have a satisfactory gaming session. I can't imagine taking more than 10 minutes to cross a system from one end to the other in fast travel, unless there is a good reason for it (or a lot of poo poo to do on the way).
