RANDOM CRAP

Here's Star Citizen superfan (and almost CIG marketing employee) Nikki "Batgirl" DeAngelo''s latest State of the Game video.

Running up stairs to the landing paid, she turns while still talking. Her Cutlass has spawned with its rear end propped up on some miscellaneous piece of space architecture.

Game crashes less than 2 minutes after she manages to get it off the landing pad.

10 Minutes in, this happens.



10:30 into the game, she gets out of her seat, which drops her out of her ship, and then it drifts away.

She floats towards it. As she nears it, her shadow somehow manages to render atop the ship, yet below the decal teeth.



This is the State of the Game.

"You came here to see gameplay and what your going to get is me talking a lot"

The cognitive dissonance is staggering in that video

Now I've been banned from the chat. I participated in some discussion about the F-35 (very typical internet chat), then some talk about lasers. Then I asked if they had any plans for any other capital ships for the game. All in all everybody seemed pretty friendly. I wasn't stealth trolling or anything I was literally just checking out the community first hand to get an impression. Hadn't actually done that before.

'Those people' live anywhere that is not a city and some even in the cities. Just yesterday they voted 2:1 (granted with only like 20-25% participation at polls) to keep LGBT folks with less legal rights than straights over in my EU-member country and the arguments they put forth before then were so brain-dead they deserved to be on Jerry Springer. So yeah, every country has them in spades, wherever religion rules and the cities don't.

I guess it's no surprise, though, to see such faithful, backwards people also get sucked into cults like that of Crobbers.

I'm beginning to think it's just website issues. I was able to get back into the chat but with the forums it just keeps going back to the main page you get when you're an unregistered user. Even after I click the register button or the "My RSI" button it just loops back.

I'd contact customer support about it. But in the words of a helpful member of the community: "It may take a while : ( "

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.

Only if you promise to deliver your patient to goon prison when you are done with him

AC2.3 comes out featuring:

the worst possible implementation of planetary landing because gently caress Braben
the drink mixing ship because Hairy Roberts stroked Chris' ego
zero-g making GBS threads because there's that one guy at CIG who likes poop too much

And nothing else, no space court, no massive jpegs, hundreds of systems, space weed growing, space hospitals, any sort of space economy etc.

Then that's declared the PU and fans rush to r/starcitizen to write pages and pages about how it's the best thing every and they definitely weren't scammed. Luckily it's not a problem that they never raised the instance cap because after two weeks peak concurrency is below16 players.

We all are Smart In Derek.

That foul false prophet the Crobber begs for donations and begs for faith that, one day, redemption will come, but when it is ready. Our Lord of Logic comes to us and offers his wisdom, "Look at the facts and make up your own drat mind. Or I might sue you." free of charge to those that will listen. I am not sure if Our Logician Derek has a spouse, but, even if he does, I am sure she is blessed among women, unlike the tawdry scarecrow the Crobber regularly ruts with in filth, degradation, and Cheeto dust...

This, my brethren, is why we are all Smart in Derek, as long as we keep our riches away from the Crobber, rejecting his false promises of paradise just over the horizon, we concentrate on fact rather than the fiction spun by the Crobber, and our pubes unshaven to ward off the atteacks of the Gaping Abomination called Sandi.

The only reason to buy the game at this stage is for griefing and that is an exercise in self-flagellation, you're basically trolling others by rolling over broken glass and bleeding all over their clothes.

I really think they must be spending a metric poo poo-ton on servers.

It might be why they didn't want to roll out the PU to everyone, the cost of running them was too high. They must have done a cost/benefit and decided to go for it. I wouldn't be surprised if they drop 500,000 at least on cloud servers this month, as there is no way they're running them out of their own datacenter.

It is probably draining the funds even faster than before, but if they don't do it then people will keep getting refunds.

I downloaded the star citizen to go along with the ship someone gave me.

It runs like garbage even at low. Is there some way to make it not run as bad? I saw hundreds of pages back someone had changes to a cfg file or something.

So far, in the about 40 minutes i could tolerate playing it:

It took a long time to remap the controls- if you bind something that's already bound, it doesn't tell you or unbind it from the other control. Leads to unwanted behavior.

I got stuck in the T-posture and gliding through the floor.

I tried to do the friendship drive knockoff thing and it worked for a while then the ship just exploded.

I cant really figure out the difference between 'boost' and 'afterburner.' Neither seems to have a visual effect when viewed in 3rd person.

I cant seem to find a speedometer on my ship.

The m50 doesnt seem very good for ramming, it just gets stuck to bigger ships. its worth 80 dollars in store credit if i melt it, should i get something else?

I have 24,000 "UEC" which i gather is a cash shop thing but can't be used to buy ships? What's it for and can I do anything with it?

Is there any way to get access to spawn other ships aside from buying them?
