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.



She manages to get into the ship again, and is told after entering the cockpit that it is overheating. She takes command and starts flying, and then starts complaining about Elite Dangerous charging for the Horizon's expansion. A person who has spent $4000 on Star Citizen spaceships that she can't successfully fly yet finds it "hard to stomach" paying $60 more to have Planetary Landings in a real game.

at 16:45, she attempts to land on a derelict station while raving about how amazing the "From Pupil to Planet" video was. Landing gear is down- all is looking good- when it suddenly bolts forward and into the station.



At 17:16 seconds, she prepares to exit via the cockpit hatch. Yet she can not, after repeated efforts.



At 21:22, she crashes again.



This is the State of the Game.

I never played it but it had boats with "localized physics grids" right? Though I guess they couldn't do barrel rolls.

Ah yes. Good memories. The spinning boat had nearly infinite force as far as the engine was concerned and could bat the heaviest ships dozen of miles inland, stranding them there with the cargo. A fast sloop spinner and a team to channel other boats in the spinner way was an afternoon well spent, without even any PVP !

I gave up on flying the red rocket ship thing, maybe i will trade it in for something physically larger.

Anyway, i just hung out on pad 10 waiting for someone to spawn one of the big huge ships.

I didnt have to wait long, a big black huge thing spawned, and I remembered my training - get where the elevator comes down!

Some guy ran up and opened the elevator for me so I got in, the elevator retracted into the ship, and once again my training kicked in - Run to the captain's chair!

I made it to the captain's chair before this guy did, and proclaimed "I am the captain here" and "Get off my plane!"

The other person said something about the ship, so i held down the space bar and we rocketed upwards with tremendous speed.

I came to a halt and pitched the ship down, another ship had spawned on one of the pads below. I maxed the acceleration and mashed all the buttons, we lurched forward, and the framrate took a serious hit.

Impact, explosion, mission accomplished!

I respawned in the bed and once again bypassed the ship summoning computer and followed the signs out to pad 10.

After about thirty seconds a large black ship appeared, and I took my position under the elevator. Some person ran up but instead of lowering the elevator for me, he opened the cargo hold. I remembered my training - once someone opens any part of the ship, all the doors unlock! I opened the elevator myself and took it up to the captain's room. I took my position in the chair and ordered the interloper: "get off my plane!"

Once again I depressed the vertical thrust actuator and my huge ship sailed up off the pad, once again I adjusted the pitch so that I could get a clear view of the landing pad. Once again a target appeared. once more into the breech!

This time when the frame rate holocaust struck, the game crashed too.

Thanks for clarifying that. I have no clue who Nicholas is (I did see him fessing up to it) nor why he'd want to send me third-party material.

But I get the intention; though I don't quite understand why YOU chose to create drama out of it. Especially since it was sent you via PM (PRIVATE MESSAGE) and I assume in confidence. That's just bad form. Remind me never to send you PM. You're a rat. Nobody likes rats.

Yes. But still runs like poo poo.

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

Boost just does just that to the axis of rotation. So if you boost while banking left, you bank faster

Afterburner is for forward thrust only. Yeah, it's the same thing. They're idiots.

I love how she is enamored with the Pupil to Planet video. Honestly, that video was not mind blowing in any way. Yeah, it looked good for an in engine video - at least until you look closely at it. No one has ever said Star Citizen isn't a visibly pleasing game, but all the fidelity doesn't mean a thing when the game won't run or is filled with the same old same old go here and get this then bring it back fetch quest it seems to have so far.

So many people putting their hopes and dreams into this game like it will have everything they want in every way. That's just not possible. There's going to be a lot of very disappointed people if and when this fully launches. I just hope someone has the foresight to hop into their space news van and capture all the pain on space video.

My honest opinion: They released 2.0 just in the nick of time before people could go after them. They now have a fully functional game out there (in a sense that it has spesh ships, missions, multiplayer, etc), and now have a fair chance of fighting off any legal action taken against them (we have a game, it's currently poo poo, but we have a game) - at which point they became brave enough to start using the 14 day digital purchase returns policies that are the requirement in the EU for example.

Wait, weren't at least some of the refunds being denied originally requested several weeks before 2.0 came out?
