Fallout 3/New Vegas also had a very slight advantage for females, simply because there was a charisma perk that worked on the opposite sex and there are more men in the game. Haven't played 4 so I don't know if it's still like that.

Unless you're a a guy and pick the confirmed bachelor perk! I can't remember the specifics, but I believe it did bonus damage against fellow men.

Which of course, led to plenty of folks wanting to get the most bang for their buck and taking the perk to improve their damage, without realising what the term, 'confirmed bachelor' means and implies.

Which is loving hilarious.

This is one of my more crackpot theories. But the "KNOW YOUR ENEMY" poster on r/starcitizen probably doesn't help steer people away from the cult mentality. It's part of the game and it's an alien and etc. etc. but still...

It's yet another day in the wasteland.

I wonder what would happen if you showed the SCultists the Double Fine documentary as a response to their “open development” claims. Would they…

a) Make pretzels jealous of the contortions they make to twist it into DF not being open?
ii) Go catatonic as their minds fold into themselves trying to comprehend how something can be more open than the most openest thing evar — it's like looking into a double-black hole!

or

3) Understand that CIG is not being ope–aaahahahahah no, let's be serious.
3) Still desperately cling to the notion that a PR blitz is the same thing as being open about development?

Good point. Well, stupid point, really, but it works as rational explanation at least.

The only way that it is rational is if the cryengine prototype was the only way that they were going to get funded. And that the expense of modifying the engine to make it work is paid by gullible 'investors' who have no say in the matter. So I guess they did make the right choice.

Turns out the Aegis Sabre and the Aegis Vanguard are just ships made from copy pasted assets of the Aegis Retaliator. Thats right folks, they're copying and pasting pieces of the Bomber together to make new $250 jpegs to sell you.
Look at the back of the Vanguard, now look at the back of the Retaliator. Now look at your wallet. Infinite sadness.

They're reusing assets, thats a GOOD THING! Means less textures / meshes to store on the RAM / VRAM.

If your ship gets stranded inside the armistice zone, the only way to clear the airspace is to ram it. I smell a profitable new venture.

A truly excellent response, to be sure.

Also if someone is willing to attempt that pizza challenge and document/report the damage, I am happy to fund such a goondeavour. I'm from the UK, so I'm not entirely sure how best to grease the internet palm responsible for pizza delivery. How much is that deal? And who is interested?

If the effort to document the pizza gauntlet of calories is entertaining and has some semblance of effort, I will happily give them a forums upgrade, or something along those lines. Best case scenario, you get a free meal and a forums gift.

Worst case scenario is that you die.

But then what's a little risk in comparison to the Star Citizen journey we are all on?

By the way, I am remarkably sleep deprived right now, so don't expect pizza immediately.

So, loving with other people (basically the only thing to actually do in the game besides boringly shoot at AI) is going to be 'fixed'? So the enjoyment that most people have from the game will be completely removed.

This will be fun because it'll just expose the game as a big expanse of nothing to do filled with bugs and crashes. Oh wait, its a $100 million pre-pre-alpha. I forgot.

I'm tempted to try the Lesnick Triathlon.

I could possibly pull it off given a few hours and thin-crust pizzas. I'd need a couple days of living clean first, though; lots of water and fiber, no booze, etc. That last one's a stickler.

I'm going to be sitting at home all through Xmas, alone with my cat, because I am surrounded by malls and big-box stores. My family is 1100 miles away and my sister's two kids are on the spectrum so I just choose to hang out here doing my own thing instead of dealing with a three bedroom, 1 1/2 bath house with five adults and two kids. I may do the Jewish Christmas thing if I can only find a Chinese take-out place open.

It's not going to be fixed in any way. CR just blew a bunch of smoke about some kind of reputation system and bounty generation and actual people enforcing the law. How well do you think any of that's going to work? When will it even be implemented? He doesn't talk like someone who has poo poo on lockdown, this is all still in the vague handwavey stage for him. It won't see the light of day for years and years. Even if it does, it will be the easiest thing in the world to game. Step one: accrue bounty. Step two: collect bounty from self with "Clean" account. Profit.
