I found this thread because of the griefing thread. This is all extremely entertaining, especially as someone who has not given any of the parties any money ever. I'm honest to goodness shocked to see Derek Smart of all people as a hero, especially since I vaguely remember Lowtax banning him over a dozen years ago. And that makes me feel old.

 It is my expert opinion that z-fighting mantissa 64-bit double-precision floating point quanternion, and I'll brook no assertions to the contrary.

D_Smart posted:I proved that today with two of my friends. And I'm going to be writing about it once I've formulated my thoughts. Hey Derek, Speaking of refunds for games, I bought another bad space game a while back I want a refund for. I think it was called battlecruiser 3000ad or something, do you know if theres anybody I can contact about a refund? Sadly its been like 10 years so I don't think I can do a chargeback like Star Citizen.

Oh yeah. Why have respawn timers when you could just simulate each body in fluid dynamics and then predict organ failure in realtime based on locational damage! It's exactly the sort of feature creep croberts loves.

You could license it to hospitals to teach EMTs! Imagine the advances in first-aid if we could predict blood-loss based on injury location. Croberts is saving lives! Don't you see?!

It was a great idea at any rate, or at least I thought so, but eh - fine...a break it is I suppose, as well as on my end then. Thanks for telling me at least.

Stuff like this is what pisses me off the most about what could've been were the game's scope kept in check I'm sorry Octopode had to go on the warpath nitpicking about this comment because it feels like you're letting your true feelings show and it's cool that you can find something to sincerely praise from a game the rest of the internet seems to think you have a vendetta against.

So, I'm behind and don't have time to watch a live feed. How many worlds are there, right now? How many missions available, right now? Is multicrew a thing yet? One of the bigger laughs of all this is from the fact that "multicrew" gaming as a turret gunner is never ever going to be fun. Has anybody ever actually enjoyed playing in a turret for more than 10 minutes? It lacks depth, requires a pilot and whatever multicrew role that they throw in that will inevitably be boring to play it. It's just another stupid nostalgia play to star wars and WW2. Thing is, turrets were never effective as a defense for individual planes. You had huge packs of ww2 bombers take out minimal german fighters as a group. One bomber had several gunners but few kills. It's also something that has never really been fun in video games, probs for the same reason. Even if they release this game, it's going to suck, and all it's potential customers have either bought the game or are aware of it and know it's bullshit. It can't succeed.

You realize that now that 2.0's come out that you, you personally and those like you, are the number one best argument against playing it, right? If/when the game does come out, goons will happily play it as a self contained group and nobody will remember any of this. All your rage, all your insistence that the game's going to be perfect in advance of any evidence- none of it has moved development along one little bit. None of it swayed any opinions. Indeed, the only thing that has shifted the tone here was actual gameplay. All you're doing is giving yourself an ulcer and serving to further sour the game community that used to actually be an interesting group to contribute to. I look forward to the day that the groups of bitter fanatics like yourself who've stuck it out so long actually have to sit down and play with one another- and the day after that when they inevitably get crushed by the people who don't take themselves so seriously. It will be almost as rewarding as reading your continued contributions to this discussion.

OK so even if it ran flawlessly I don't think this game has any chance of actually being fun. I mean people are saying it looks 'good' and yes, the graphics are great, but it is thematically dull as dishwater and all the little touches that took them a long time to do, like those complex animations every time your guy does anything, would only serve to make the game more boring than it already is. And the guy who said being in a turret sucks was right. And what about the poor sap who has to spend the whole time staring at a shield display? People want to be captain kirk because he gets to have alien sex and double-fist punch lizardmen and shoot lasers at klingons, nobody dreams of being the guy who sits behind him staring at a computer panel for the whole mission

Justin Tyme posted:Whoever has access to the PTU, please go land on the gas giant and walk around on it Just wanted to point out that yeah, you can manually use quantum drive without aiming at a point. You can zip around the map and see the gas giant move past, along with the various destination points via jumping manually. You drop out in empty space. No need to select a destination. Apparently you can jump all the way to the edge of the map, but I haven't tried that yet. If it wasn't 64-bit, then the map would break if you attempted to do that. It's more free-form than Elite is (where solar-system level supercruise is instanced and not part of the same map). The stutter that was present in the 32-bit AC maps when you neared the boundary is not present when you fly away at high speed. If 64-bit was not implemented, then the game would crash shortly after leaving the boundaries of the station due to going far past the 32-bit limits that were present in the old AC maps/zones. I'm happy to upload a video demonstrating this in action if someone wants.
