Skip to 20 seconds in, he clearly had a flyable hornet back at the time of the original kickstarter.

What I think is really funny about this is that Kerbal Space Program does this, but it does it in a way that still expects you to compensate for maneuvers. That, and Kerbal Space Program is an actual game and you can build your own spaceships in it.

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.

It's supposed to be that you don't get the information for every person, only every ship plus the people inside the ship you're in. So if there's 10 ships with 20 people each, you only have to transfer 30 (10+20 in the ship with you) units of position/etc data to 200 people, instead of 210 (10 ships + 200 people total) units of position/etc data to 200. 600 vs 4200.

But if you have one ship with 20 people and 9 hornets, most people are only getting 11 units of data (themselves, plus 10 ships) while the people in the big ship are getting 30 (20 people + 10 ships) each.

Which is going to be funny when a bunch of people EVA at once. Because they won't cull EVAs for the people who don't need it in the first iteration I'm sure.

Been there.

SC alpha 2.0 will be the put up or shut up moment. I think we will see that before anything else (including a shut down).

I like loving with people in games. If they can get a janky mini pu going and I can troll the poo poo out of people, I will be playing.

Mr. Smart - thank you for the free key, but my experience was disappointing as I literally did not see a single other person online. Additionally, my weapon pack disappeared when I left the spaceship. Also, there were no things to shoot. Finally, I could not change the lighting in the different levels so things were near impossible to see.

Shouldn't the real question, at this point, no longer be "How hosed are they ?", but "How insane is Croberts ?".

If the state of the project is really as bad as many suspect, then any sane person would go into damage control, secretly cut back on features and try to get out something playable. Instead the feature creep and scope keeps expanding. Coke must be one helluva drug.

Isn't it just simple vector addition for position and some godawful quarter onion moon maths for the rotation, which is apparently easy for the computer to do?

In principle it could be that easy if you assume some inertia dampening space magic a la Star Trek. However, the question is still whether the engine exposes this mechanism, allowing you to make your own local physics grids with ease. If one (and only one!) physics grid is hardcoded deep into the engine, doing something like this could become very complicated, as you have to do major engine coding.

In any case, I would consider it a major warning sign, that apparently CIG's major acomplishment consists of wrangling their engine into submission in order to do something relatively simple. They should have taken an engine that allows for that kind of thing out of the box. I mean, this running-around-on-ships-business was allegedly envisioned as a corner stone of their game from the beginning. In that case they should have made sure that they had a suitable engine!
