Patch Notes:
We know that there is an elevator that will occasionally break entirely. We have no idea why this happens or why you still be completely stuck in it, but we'll fix it one day and put it in the patch notes. No word on why we put this unresolved issue in the patch notes though.

I wonder if they could start making ships out of the elevator doors since I guess thats the only thing you can't fall out of.

As I walk through my hangar on deck D of Port Olisar
I take a look at my JPEGs and realize I've gone too far
'Cause I've been griefin' and gankin' so long,
That even Lowtax thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a shitizen that didn't deserve it
I grief 'em as a goon and ruin they immersion
You better watch how I'm runnin' and don't walk
Anything to hear the shitlords whine and squawk
I really hate to crash but I gotta joke
As I croak, I see myself in the laser smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G the little goonies wanna be like
In the 'verse in the night sendin' spergs to their next life

Been spending most our lives, living in a griefer's paradise
Been spending most our lives, living in a griefer's paradise
Keep spending most our lives, living in a griefer's paradise
Keep spending most our lives, living in a griefer's paradise

Cryengine just doesn't have the background tech to make that possible. We're working on modifying the engine with inhouse code that will let us craft entire space stations out of elevator doors, all procedurally done, and all in the ulta high fidelity you've come to expect from Sporce Capistan.

Give us two weeks.

I've always dreamed of playing a game where I could walk to the store.

That's the thing about this game that just baffles me... it sounds like if it actually came out and was everything they expected, it would be boring as hell. When you buy a space shooty mans game, you want to do the shooty mans, not go to the loving store to buy groceries.

About a billion pages ago I mentioned I was taking CIG to small claims court here in the UK to get my refund. I just got notice they are defending the claim(!!); some guy called Ortwin Freyermuth, who is a director of CIG, signed off on the action. An hour of that guy's time must be worth more than the money I gave them.

Lol.

Yep, that sounds about right. Ansell getting toppled by the board and the merger between GW and Citadel.


Mr Yeti needs to go look at Amazon. I doubt the current iteration of PU is running on anything seriously meaty, and it's horizontally scaled if anything, with a reliance on a database.

$200. Seriously, it's nothing to them. They are claiming it's the wrong jurisdiction. I dunno, I mean, I'm in the UK, they're in the UK. I guess it'll proceed to directions or something. Good thing everything up to actual trial (if they are crazy enough to go that far) is online!

Superb, a jurisdictional test is going to be great. They'll try to claim that the correct court is someplace else. *for small claims court*

The Warp is another dimension that runs parallel to reality, and by traveling through the warp you can cross space far quicker. There's a downside. The Warp is essentially a sea of pure psychic energy, and it's inhabited by unfathomable beings of incomprehensible malice and cruelty. Simply looking into the warp unprotected would drive you mad, and if the fields that protect each ship as they travel are compromised (even for an instant) then daemons will cross the threshold and wreak havoc among the crew. There are numerous stories of ships being lost to the warp, and often those are eventually returned to reality in the form of space hulks. A space hulk is essentially an amalgamation of ships, the interstellar equivalent of the tides of an ocean bringing together a collection of garbage, and actual dimensions are hard to convey. However then can easily be tens of kilometers long and full of twisting corridors and arrangements that make safe travel impossible. You could easily spend a lifetime trying to cross one, although the typical reason for this is because something horrible will kill you along the way.

One of the major themes of 40K is that progress is dead. A gun made ten thousand years ago will typically be far superior to anything that can be made today, so finding a space hulk is often a massive boon. Entire starships have been resurrected from a space hulk and often they carry archaeotech, lost treasures of the Dark Age of Technology, but they also typically carry numerous foes. The most elite members of the Imperium's most elite fighting force, Terminators of the Adeptus Astartes (Space Marines) are often tasks with purging a space hulk and recovering the treasures within.

Hey I just want to say you are quick to apologize any time somebody says something you said was wrong in this thread. That is admirable if it actually was wrong and/or bad, but also I don't think people are trying to say your posts are wrong and/or bad. It's more continuing a discussion started by your posts, which makes your posts assets and not something to be apologized for. Have a good night!
