I run my sleeve across my forehead, but it barely makes a dent in the sweat that is pouring down my face. Was it warm in here or just me? Glancing at the calm and comfortable face of the elderly gentlemen in the neighboring seat, it is painfully clear that it’s just me. The ship was almost full now, all the seats near me holding excited passengers. At the ticket counter I had debated if it was worth springing for one of the deluxe berths with a bed, but had opted to go with one of the main cabin seats instead and save the creds for when I landed. The thickly cushioned chair is probably pretty comfortable, but I am too nervous to really tell. The elderly gentleman leans over and smiles at me, “First time flying offworld?” I nod. “You got nothing to worry about. These new Genesis are about as good as they come. You barely feel the jumps.” “Thanks,” I manage to reply. His eyes narrow slightly, “You’ll tell me if you’re going to hurl, right?” Before I can reply, a flight attendant stands at the head of the aisle. “Greetings, and thank you for choosing to travel the stars with Meridian Transit! Today’s flight will feature a complimentary beverage and meal service about two hours after take-off, but snacks and drinks are available at all times in the Observation Lounge. We’re moments from launching, but before we do, we’d like everyone to use this time to familiarize themselves with our brand new Crusader Industries Genesis-Class starliner and review our safety protocols on their mobiGlas.” Glancing up from my mobi, I ask my seat companion, “How often do these things actually get attacked by outlaws?” “Not as often as they used to, that’s for sure,” he replies with a completely non-comforting wink. The loudspeaker chirps to life, “Attention all crew, prepare for launch.” A deep vibrating rumble causes my arm hairs to stand on end, as the starliner’s engines roar to life. It is clear to me now that this is a mistake. I don’t care what I promised Shelley. I start to fumble out of my seat, but it’s too late. A burst of inertia forces me back as the thrusters push us out of the hangar. I was doing it. I was leaving Earth. With some difficulty, I manage to swallow. Weren’t vacations supposed to be relaxing? Out the window, the blue midday sky turns quickly to black.

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3r7rrm/can_i_just_say_something_about_illfonic/ Hey retards: it's because the branch they developed their part on was different than the branch CIG was converting to 64 bit, and the two couldn't be merged without starting 100% from scratch. Illfonic made a perfectly serviceable game, but because of mismanagement from CIG it couldn't be used. And guess what happened? FPS stuff was started again from scratch. That's why it was delayed indefinitely, they realized they had to completely redo it and it wasn't because it was Illfonic's fault.

Agrajag posted:whatever happened to the fig startup poo poo? i want to laugh at that also They have a couple of projects on the table, but considering that it's like crowdfunding, but with venture money, there's a lot more care and examination of the projects themselves, and whether they'll return anything other than drama and confirming what games publishers have been saying for a decade. Give it a few more months before they do something more interesting.

For such experts on AAA game dev its kinda funny to see how all of them are missing something this obvious. CR hosed up wasted millions and had to throw it all out because it was 32 bit the end.

It blew my mind how easily people get brain washed into believing CIG's development problems are anyone's fault besides CIG and CIG certainly hasn't done the ethical thing by coming clean and stating the obvious in this respect to at least wipe clean the massive poo poo stain they left on Illfonic's integrity as a company. Regardless of Illfonic's reputation preceding Star Marine, they have released their games and absolutely don't deserve some of the poo poo critics that are delusional Star Citizen fanatics. What is the worse that would happen by simply coming out and saying "We're apologizing to Illfonic for immersing them in a frustrating scenario for which we've decided as a company and on behalf of the backers and Illfonic to part ways and keep development in house so they can work on other things"?. Now it only appears anybody who touches this project is going to get burned, and it's Hollywood all over again for CR. to0terfish fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Nov 2, 2015 |

I like it when they come here to argue their case as if anybody actually cares. Also it saves me from having to go to reddit to get my daily dose of SC insanity. I always feel gross when I do.

I think it would be genuinely really interesting for Karl to get a refund then continue to defend SC here with us. I'd take what he has to say much more seriously if I didn't think he was posting these things out of desperately trying to justify his expenditure.

Has anyone ever bothered to report the Star Citizen reddit for brigading Seraph's own sub? That's a big no no in the reddit rulebook and could get people banned, which would be funny.

Plenty of positive PR which they call open, and the real issues are swept under the carpet, along with mismanagement.

I would agree with that if the FPS module came out but was just bad you could blame that on Illfonic but the fact that they had to trash it and it doesn't exist anymore after we saw Illfonic make it is a CIG problem.
