Hey maybe you shouldn't be spending rent and food money on a loving jpeg
Why are you goons so mean to me with your hilarious sarcastic posting?

I'm not joking.

Because hey, you got a bunch of spoofed powerful ships in a giant growing snowball of big ships. Yet another gameplay mechanic that hasn't been thought out too well. Because who's to judge if some John Rando that happens to be in the same 3rd party VOIP program, and was the one that stole your ship strangely without firing a shot, is an associate of yours?

For some reason Redditors seem 100% convinced the tech they will reveal is...... a loving character creator. How dense are these people? What are they even basing that off? Whatever it was, it left Ben speechless apparently. Something tells me a character creator is a little too simple.

From a recent article about S42 they mentioned the only thing you can do is choose your gender, but not your face (even from any presets). Sure they might have lady models but I doubt it's full-on character creation. I stand by my original prediction based off recent comments from crobbits and lesnick

aleksendr posted:I have to defend SC on that one (Oh how it hurt) Gun dont need air to launch a projectile, the oxidizer you need is already in the propellant. As for cool laser gun and plasma, regular guns are a pretty dam efficient tech already. Small, easy to use, low cost, easy to manufacture (look at the guy making a cheap AK from a shovel and some spring) I'm not 100% sure that you could take any pistol or a rifle right now and fire it in a vacuum and have it work, but in general you're right - a handgun or rifle, in terms of general physics, has more in common with a rocket than it does with a "laser gun" or "plasma gun", and certainly we make rockets that work in space. Your standard NATO 5.56 accelerates a payload to just under a kilometer/sec, transferring about two thousand joules to do it, which is pretty good at doing what it does. For some reason, it's rather difficult to get effectivity numbers on how lasers of varying strengths and wavelengths cause damage to human beings. It's also likely that I'm on a watchlist now. That being said, a laser weapon has a number of potential secondary side effects on the target but, when jacked up to human-lethal levels, hypothetically works mainly by causing thermal damage, i.e., heat. This is not really a very efficient way to approach killing someone at a distance for a number of reasons, not least of which is that the energy required to cause damage quickly enough to compare to a bullet wound is far in excess of of the energy required to do the same with a bullet. There are other issues, such as focusing the beam at the target point and keeping the beam roughly on the same spot for a long enough duration to cause damage, as well as lesser (but still relevant issues) involving ablation and thermal transfer, but the short version is you'd need a much much bigger laser than you would a ballistic weapon to do the same job. If you've got the technology to make a hand-held sized laser pistol, you can do the same thing with bullets even better - making a hand-held rail gun, for example, to deliver heavier projectiles faster instead of relying exclusively on chemical propellant. It's not necessary to take a hard science approach to this; plenty of sci-fi handwaves it because "laser guns", in whatever form, are cool and fun. In general, though, guns firing bullets are really good at doing their job and it is unlikely that in the visible future that we will be able to adapt any of the technologies we know about to do things that existing guns do in a more efficient/effective manner than guns as we know them can do them.

A Neurotic Jew posted:How will they ensure that you are the certified owner of each ship that you fly? My thinking is that you wait in line in order to show your official Citizens Certificate and a piloting license before taking off in any docked ship. If you do not have both your license and certificate, you need to fill out the appropriate paperwork and snail-mail it to CIG. When CIG finally uploads your certificate into the game world, you can go back to waiting in the docking line. This is the best way to ensure Star Citizen matches the quantifiable fun matrix I've graphed in excel. Its Papers, Please.....In Space!

The Final Griefing Solution My fellow spacemen, we all love our ships. I don't have to tell you this. I know how many hours you've put into yours, greasing up that terrycloth and buffing out every nook and cranny of that hull until it shines like the day it rolled off the factory floor. Only the cold vacuum of space knows our vessels more intimately. To stand erect, with proud upthrust bosom, and admire a spaceship without actually flying it- that, that is the essence of what it means to be a Star Citizen. Now some may say, "But I occasionally would like to go and fly around!" And to them I respond "NEIGH!" - that was a horsepun for our furry brethren- "That is the realm of the griefer, the troll, the loathed goon. Venture not into that good night, not for many weeks now, since the first days of the baby poo." That realm is forever denied to us, my brothers- controlled by those who might occasionally engage us in dreaded pee vee pee. How can we be masters of our destiny if someone out there can interact with us in a manner not explicitly designed to make us feel empowered? "Fight back!" Cries the tryhard. "Fly somewhere else!" Says the carebear. And to them, again I respond - "NAY  "- with a little dickpic at the end there for our lady friends- "I reject those answers. I choose something different. I choose the impossible. I choose... to complain to the moderators."And they listened! Oh yes, my friends, they listened well. Even now they are preparing the way. Goons will be the first to go, of course- those foul mouthed doubters never had any place among us, you can be sure of that. But there is more to come! So much more. Anyone who points a weapon at another player's ship will be placed on a watchlist for possible aggressive violation of our safe space policies- repeat incidents will result in banishment. Beyond that, any player who gazes too long upon the ship of someone who has paid more money into the game will be given a thorough drubbing for being so covetous of the goods of a social superior. Finally, our new web crawler will comb the post histories of every user- across all sites- and thoroughly, carefully weed out the dissenters who have so long poisoned our ranks. Every one of these miscreants, these malcontents- and their friends, families and loved ones- are bound for the camps. Mark my words. Yes, true believers- we are entering a golden age indeed. An age where a man may not only sit in his hangar, but actually fly his ship, free from fear of his fellow man. As long as he keeps his goddamn hands to himself. And remember, "Die Griefen sind unser Unglück!"

But yes, supposedly everyone should have theirs by now, but of course it hasn't been verified until everyone has managed to check in, in the 'verse. Still waiting on the final numbers and to hear from the guys that volunteered for the super late/early shifts, but it looks like we should be able to keep at least six+ goons active around the clock, 24 hours a day.
