quote:4chan posted: So all this stuff? That's why Derek Smart has been consulting legal this whole time (if he had access to this aforementioned information). Now, CIG fans have gone full "defamation!" but the thing is, most of what Smart has said has been opinion, and CIG has to prove that he knowingly or recklessly made false statements of fact for him to be liable for damages, in addition to proving that damages were caused. CIG is very, very likely building a legal case for damages through the refund questionnaires. But Smart is saying: CIG is full of incompetents. CIG is over-promising. CIG won't complete this game on time and within the scope offered (which is already demonstrably true). These are opinions or actual, true facts. He's entitled to his opinions. Allegations of criminal misconduct? That raises the stakes. Here CIG wouldn't have to prove actual damages, though the company (as the plaintiff) would have to prove that the claim was false. But Smart hasn't (!) alleged that CIG has broken any laws. Someone could presume that CIG is breaking the law after reading Smart's blog posts, but that's merely a reasonable and innocent presumption on the part of the reader.

I think she's reporting generally interviewing, additions they're very unlikely at all to any of these legal experts here on Reddit seem to disagree with him. No goals in Star Citizen Merlin has more to do with it. The components of a libel claim are simple; a statement that cannot make up for these incidents. If you haven't read tabloid trash like that in years. Everyone is going to use a MATH MODEL to attack... Fear 2+2 folks ... I have finished writing the lease. We can't take anything DS OR Chris/RSI/CIG says as gospel, and that's the rub.

Good heavens, this controversy isn't about negativity or positivity. I don't even have any stake in this other than the entertainment value a good downfall has. There are serious problems with the Star Citizen project, and serious questions have been raised that demand serious answers. And those answers have yet to be given. Hell, on the contrary, it seems anyone asking for answers is being banned from the official forums. Hollow words and censorship do little to allay fears of abuse and misappropriation. I fear you will find your faith in Chris Roberts to be misplaced.

Don't be silly. They don't have a case. And ANY sort of legal action, even if it's just a parking ticket, leaves their financials (the crux of the matter) open to discovery. I was hoping they'd sue me or The Escapist for some bullshit because then I don't have to wait until Nov (which is when the original ToS conditions for refunds and financials kick in, and is a crucial element of my legal complaint) to introduce them to the law firm handling it. No, it's not Keith. If you've seen him smacking Ortwin around, let me tell you, that's nuthin'.

Furious Mittens posted:If you want a real glance into the minds of the Cult-members, go check out the comments on the Endeavor ($900) reveal. Greetings Citizens, You've got questions, we've got answers! Last week, we kicked off a concept sale for the new Endeavor science ship and its modules. Today and Friday, we'll be answering questions collected on the forums. Please also note that questions about the design/gameplay mechanics will be addressed by Tony Zurovec in Friday's Q&A sessions. Enjoy! Question & Answer
Docking Bay Clarification In the previous post, we mentioned that any ship that fits in the Endeavor with a maximum of four could land in the bay. Why four, and what has changed since the original 'if it fits it sits' concept? Designer Matthew Sherman has volunteered to answer that question. In the past, there's a phrase that has been tossed around when discussing the actual storage or operational capacity for some of our bigger ships. As we continue to build out the backend that will drive Star Citizen though, there are some technical and design challenges that really need to be considered first before just accepting "If it fits, it sits." So what did that phrase really mean in the first place? At its core, it was about supporting the idea that you can really do anything in Star Citizen, even if it goes against the role/theme of the ship you're using. While we still are absolutely committed to delivering tremendous choice and flexibility in the way you setup and run your ships, the overly freeform interpretation of this phrase is becoming problematic. We have some incredible goals for what we want to enable, from large scale fights, ambitious multi-crew systems, and more, but as we dial into these features and really get the tech online to support them, we need to constantly be evaluating what we can, in good faith, deliver to everyone. What are some of these challenges? Well, a big one is making sure everything can play well and transfer properly across our large-world maps and between servers. Another pressing concern is general balance, ensuring that ships have a good fit and place across all the varied types and sizes of ships we'll be offering. Then along with these concerns, making sure that whatever system we deliver won't be something that opens up possible griefing or abuse of the mechanics. Now, where does that lead us to? To work through this, we'll be using the Landing Bay module for the recently unveiled Endeavor to go over things in a bit more detail. This module has definitely excited a number of players with the potential of hauling a few extra ships around, but we want to clear up some of the more hard-limits on its use. The Landing Bay offers a fairly spacious 30m x 60m x 10m volume of space to work with. In gameplay, you'll be allowed to safely store/transport/launch/refit up to 4 ships that fit inside this space. A Cutlass Red and a pair of 300's, a couple of Hornets or Avengers, you should absolutely have some good choices to make in terms of what you carry along. Now, what about when a 5th ship decides to land? We don't want to have random invisible walls stopping you from landing, but we also can't just let things be randomly piled in and expected to be able to move through the server-architecture. How we're planning to handle these cases is by limiting these aspects to a local-system only. So if you're the owner of the Endeavor, and your Landing Bay is over capacity, you'll be given a warning when attempting to plot a Quantum or Jump action, preventing you from leaving until the overage is cleared out. Similarly, if you're the pilot of that 5th ship and the Endeavor is trying to leave, you'll be given a clear notice that you'll need to remove your ship from the Landing Bay shortly. We're still ironing out the exacts of these alerts, but we feel it'll be the best middle ground for allowing a lot of flexibility in use for these ships without overburdening them with too many game-y limits. We also don't want these systems to be turned into something used to harass other players, so we'll definitely be looking for feedback once this system is in-game to make sure we have a genuinely fair solution for both parties involved. But what about the future? Tech gets better all the time, and some of these current challenges may be overcome down the road. We're not going to completely write-off the potential for storing more than what's rated/allowed for a ship in the future, but we can't fully ensure it as a safe-mechanic to provide carte-blanch to all of our ships in the early stages. We're confident with can deliver these aspects in local-space, but to take it beyond that, we'll need the baseline systems implemented and functional before we can truly explore what extent we can deliver on this kind of statement. So in the future, just remember, "If it fits, it sits in local-space". As we continue to develop and grow Star Citizen, we'll also be working to expand and grow the potential for how you'll be able to setup and interact with your ships. And with everything, we'll be needing your feedback as these systems go live to really help us fine tune things to really create a vibrant and living universe.
