How are these people not getting that other companies with publishers don't need to reveal their business practices, and typically don't reveal development to anyone besides the publisher. Because it's the publisher's money invested into the game. That's how they avoid controversy.

With Star Citizen, it's the whales' monies. People are treating CIG like they're incredible for having an open development, when CIG has to have an open development, otherwise they'd get crucified for not delivering the game back in 2014. If CIG didn't have an open development, if kickstarters didn't have open development, nobody would loving crowdfund them, because how would you know if ben lesnick is eating your money or not? But they're so loving blind, that ben lesnick is eating their money right in front of them, and the only thing that prevents them from seeing the truth is the building that hides the money being funneled out into Lesnick's jaws.

CIGs financials are the only thing they're not being open about purely because they know they've wasted their money. And these shitizens don't want to see the financials despite totally being entitled to it, because they don't want to discover the truth about their Best drat Space Sim Ever.

When i read about CIG "Open Dev" i can do nothing but smile. 10 Youtubes show (from wich they get ad revenue) about a game is not "Open Dev". It feel people have been fed so much sponsored content from mass media that they cant differenciate marketing from information anymore.

All that "10 for the chairman" and "loving the verse sideway" is smoke an mirror.

"Open" mean public financials, public dev documents, publishing milestones and if you fail meeting them, telling the crowd why.

Look at these people :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0sK7Xqfvpc

They have a more "open" process than "Lets-do-4-art-pass-and-change-the-craft-role-and-capabilities-twice-after-its-been-sold-RSI" will ever have.

That's from a year ago, but I don't ever remember Braben being full of empty promises.

If anything, it's Roberts who has that problem. He has this grand vision of a game, but has no concept of programming that his vision requires and if it's even possible or practical with current technology.
He either ignores people who tell him no, or just surrounds himself with yes men. Either of them just give him this inflated sense of self and he things whatever he comes up with is doable.
He just doesn't know his limitations and never will.

So I can't shake this feeling that Sandi will be the love interest of SQ42, so that citizens the world over can live out their fantasies of being with a space shrew.

That and the level of writing will amount to scenes of Mark Hamill character saying things like "We have to FORCE the door open." As Croberts directs him to smile and wink at the camera. "I awoke from a dream of walking across the sky."

"He was once a Freelancing Privater. I heard he also commanded a wing against the Vanduuls".

Just a whole bunch of horribly cringe worthy dialog all filled with nods to their past poo poo for the fans.

And Croberts will deem this ALL Oscar worthy.

They offered private servers as a feature. Said servers would be able to be run offline, or as a private option for people who wanted to mod them. This was back in the day when the game was Freelancer 2015.

Out of curiosity I sent a message to the reddit mods inquiring why it was I had been banned. I didn't actually expect a reply but I got one and it seems (at least that's what I was told) that it was all some snafu with a bot banning new accounts that made a lot of posts in a short period or something.

Anyway... seems like my suspicions of having been banned due to some unwritten "no new goons" policy were unfounded. Credit where credit is due.

I don't know anything about this game other than people paid thousands of dollars for in game items. I watched a streamer walk around and get in a space ship and that was pretty neat but there didn't seem to be anything to do yet. I tried figuring out what is the game actually about by reading some of this thread and I'm pretty sure I have to see a therapist now, thanks goons.

For all the bashing the newsvan and other stupid ship idea they have been spewing recently i would absolutely be down to have "Search and Rescue" role/career added to the usual trade, harvest, fight and explore of regular space sim.

PVP and PVE actions could generate S&R buoy that you can access and do some activity where you have to navigate inside the maze-like wreckage to get to the signal and then maybe a "Dr.Mario" minigame to heal the patient ?

I would be totally willing to play "space ambulance" or "space coast guard" between rounds of whale ramming.

Yeah but see the thing is that those are entire games in and of themselves and it's insanity to suggest that they're just one more role in your completely unfinished fighting trading pirating capital ship sciencing space life simulator.

How much does a space therapy session cost? This is operating under the assumption that a bloody mary is 5k space dollars and a space ship is only 20k space dollars.

Unfortunately the ship dedicated to that gameplay is one of the shittiest vessels in the game.
