Regardless of what Wulf does bringing his wife into this is uncalled for. The more personal you make it, the less about Star Citizen things get, the less credibility you have. Simply saying that everything is in the public domain does not shield you from the fact that, to a reasonable person, your actions look outright petty and vindictive.

Martin Luther King was a plagiarist. Winston Churchill was a drunk. John Paul II turned a blind eye to child abuse. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was racist as gently caress.

Great men and women are flawed. But we have to accept our heroes, flaws and all, if we are to benefit from their greatness.

Pardon my ignorance, but isn't making one object a child of another in terms of transforms pretty easy? I mean, it's one of the simplest forms of rigging in 3d programs. When in ship,make player child of ship, apply physics relative to ship space transforms.

Pretty much. I'll take Beer's word that CryEngine is hosed up enough to not make this super simple, but to put everyone's amazement in perspective: "How does his helmet stay on his head through all that, and not clip off into space?! Computer technology is amazing! Wow!"

croberts trying to one up Elite on the day the premium beta was released and then failing spectacularly, since failing spectacularly is what SC does, was one of the greatest self owns in this whole saga.

Yeah, I remember that one. The SC forums were flooded with first shots/videos of the Elite Starmap and Jump/Warp animations, while most of the residents were royally pissed about AC. I think that the Elite thread that week gained about 2000 posts from merging other threads.

Another one I can remember was the first time the DFM was supposed to come out, Dec 2013. Frontier dropped this, almost out of the blue.

If I remember correctly, DFM was pushed back a little after that.

Have you ever played a game where you're in or on a moving vehicle or whatever and the game either moved you in an unintuitive way or maybe just spazzed out? That's pretty much it, plsu physics engines like to get wonky at high speeds becase they aren't discrete and errors pile up.

TL;DR of the last 99999 posts with a bunch of inaccuracy because I can't keep up with this nonsense - http://www.dereksmart.org/2015/09/star-citizen-the-long-con/

Basically they updated the ToS so that when the time expires if there's no game they have to either provide a game or financials of where everyone's money with. They also state that refunds are not possible so D Smart is setting up a class action lawsuit to demand refunds for people after Nov 2015.
