Yeah that's what I am saying, but as soon as you move any direction other than up it falls off. The physics interaction between the two objects looks pretty non-fucky at least.

I'm frankly happy with this alone. Going to use ships to fling buggys on top of skyscrapers and over deep canyons.

Also the ship is the "Sidewinder", one of the smallest ships in the game. There are larger (and flatter) ships I am getting people to test

If you psychos pull it off you better record it. Frankly I'd be surprised if gravity scales with distance rather than the planet being a permanent physics reference point for the buggies as soon as you land. Would be curious to see if there's a max free-fall speed though :v:

Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.
So Sandi's new movie is called "The Eighth House" and involves astrology in some way.

quote:

"The Eighth House is commonly referred to as the House of Sex. This House delves into relationships -- interactions with another and how certain aspects of those interactions can take on a more communal nature. It speaks to what our relationships will bring us and how we can get the most out of them."
More explanatory hokum here.

Also, this is an excerpt from the Director's reel.

I'm not sure what this all adds up to-- but I expect great things.

if I can seriouspost for a moment to tie T-Swift back in here: one of the things I love about Shake It Off, and a lot of her other solid songs, is the sense of joy. For all her faults, the girl is having a hell of a lot of fun with life. She's going on adventures most people can't imagine. And it translates into her music, and other people sense that and run with it, and it's a cool fun thing to watch.

Star Citizens, when presented with the opportunity to dream a new universe and new lives for themselves, seem to create things that are utterly humorless and inane. Space Court, the absurd diagrams of resources and systems, the extensive documents and lore spun out by the diehards, even their defenses for SC and all this - it just feels like desperate grabs for "fun" at best. It's a castle in the sky crumbling, and they're scrambling to patch it with more clouds as fast as they can. It's honestly kind of depressing to watch in that regard - how many hours have these people wasted dreaming of being a Space Plumber when they could have been out doing things that brought them joy in the moment? That might bring other people joy?

I'm sure plenty of them would claim to be delighted, that they love the time spent waiting and dreaming, but it rings so hollow. There's more to life than this, Citizen :smith:

Settlements are more than just damages.

Either way if people expect an actual court case, they're going to be waiting a long time even if you decide to go ahead with legal proceedings. Going to court sucks, its highly stressful, time consuming and expensive which is why most lawyers will try to avoid it.

Yeah. They are sending out invites even to closed accounts, trying to pull people back in. If you buy the $45 SQ42 package, it gives you access to Star Citizen. But you've only got that lovely ship. Good luck with that.

Holy poo poo apparently Von Smith was recently at the green mill and I missed it :/ Thanks for sharing this.


Just wanted to swoop in with never taking a single business class but laughing at the notion that without a fixed end budget anything will ever actually get completed here.
It's the number one thing a project must have over requirements if you want something to ever get completed. Requirements are a nice thing to have to get something done right, but the only way to ensure it finishes is to have a budget.

So from what I've gathered here, at some point they moved their focus to ensuring the budget continues to expand and not actually ending the project. That's probably an issue.

Not that I care I would like an infinite budget for catte fighter pilot videos please.

Except for when you got mad at Lowtax for getting called out on raping a petting zoo. Those SA front page articles were ahead of their times. Maybe we can get a new one with the December litigation. If there is a lawsuit it could be a month of Christmas miracles.

Is that the same guy as "licenseless bicyclist"? If so, I like him too.

I remember watching this baseball anime as a kid where the kid's father dies in a freak baseball accident, and then the kid begins considering his father's murderer as a father figure..

For anyone who cares- the new patch seems to be way, way more stable. Had a really good time tonight loving around with someone else in a Constellation, doing missions. Not sure if it was a lucky one-off or if the patch fixed most of the server-side crashes, but I played for a solid hour and a half with no issues.

so far it seems like every patch has been accompanied by stability for about 12 hours or so. If it's that playable tomorrow evening than that's a pretty sizeable improvement and is good.

Star Citizen is going to be the best drat game of any genre, of all time. To accomplish this, necessary steps will need to be taken so that the game is always up to date with the best tech.

So what if it means rewriting the engine again? Its all about fidelity and the immersion a new, better engine will provide.

Buy Star Citizen now, live Star Citizen when real world tech catches and surpasses Chris Roberts' fever dream.
