It is funny at how quickly alpha 2.whatever is sinking. The great irony is that the PTU is the only thing people care about and keeps them buying ships yet they need SQ42 to have an actual source of revenue.

If SQ42 by some miracle releases this year, I think it will be a buggy, awful mess. You can't go from showing absolutely nothing to a gaming mag to alpha, beta, Q&A and release in a year without cutting a lot of meat.

Rebel galaxy is the best space truck game, because you can shoot cunts while listening to country music in space

I wish they made an expansion where you can form a convoy of 2+ space trucks and zoom out further for maximum space broadsides and the ability to build and customize your own parasite fighters. Also more cock rock songs and maybe cosmetics to pimp out the old space truck. I want to blast out in space with a giant David Bowie decal on my rig.

Nah...It's a good game. The premise sounds somewhat insane, but cruising down the road is somewhat cathartic.

Small development team, highly modifiable. American Truck Simulator is coming out next month I think.

Only thing missing is when picking up the load I want high fidelity NPCs operating forklifts to load my cargo. For even greater immersion, I should have an animation of getting out of my truck and paying lumpers to unload my trailer.

The best mod is also one of the easiest: turn of the speed limiter (and police) and treat it as a the most wobbly highway racing game ever. 360° rolls on off-ramps may ruin your cargo but gives you all the bonus points.

ETS2 is a legit chill and relaxing game. I haven't played it in like two years, but thinking about it I stopped playing it when I got a new job and left an old one that had an internal management style and employee stress levels that might actually be reasonably comparable to CIG. ETS2 was good stress relief in retrospect.

Yeah, I modded the game. Was flying through Tunisia around 145MPH or so with 20 tons of cargo. I'd pass the cars on the berm making my way through the desert. If I flipped I just call for the tow truck and it would haul me the next town.

That's lo-fidelity, but quite a serviceable option to handle a gameplay mechanism.

Yes, meaning that the outlines of the musculature should be different that normal human anatomy, not the "bodybuilder with less than 10% fat" look we usually see in drawings.

God drat it Crobberts. All that discussion about armor started me googling around looking at various science fiction armor setups and now like three hours later I have nothing to show for it except for the knowledge that there was an awesome rear end Starship Troopers miniature game that I desperately want but went out of production like 8 years ago.

You owe me three hours and a Starship Troopers board game, Chris Roberts.

I will never stop being astonished by the way they bother to render a high fidelity tongue inside of a closed mouth the whole time you're flying a spaceship around.

You see a space ship on your screen. Inside it is a cabin that you can just make out, all rendered in high definition. Inside that is a space suit that you can't see, also rendered in high definition. Inside of that is a spaceman's head, that you can't see, still rendered in high definition. Inside that is a tongue, also rendered in high definition with bump mapping and full environmental reflections.

Think of this every time you wonder why that space ship flying across your screen is rendering at 10fps and marvel at the vision of Chris Roberts.

And after all that effort, your immersive spaceman sits in the cockpit 100% paralyzed, no motion conferred whatsoever to anyone viewing him. But he has 3D rendered eyelids and eyelashes.

actually the game will generate spacemen from birth so that they that they have a seemless integration into your star citizen experience and there will be algorithms governing the pairing and reproduction of literally BILLIONS of space nobodies with varying ugliness and fattitude so that the game can select the one closest resembling yourself for maximum immersion

so, teeth will be procedurally generated and not all diabetic lardasses have all their molars left

Everyone should experience ED at least once, the flight model & complexity is really well done. It feels right.

The lack of substance beyond that made me trade it to a goon for a forum upgrade, but I'll probably purchase it again down the road once they fill in some more content.

It all seems to point to the same thing: CRoberts has not played any games in years, or he'd already know all this. He's trying to create a game to compete with the best the genre has to offer, with no knowledge of what's been done already, and how it fared. He has ideas for "new" stuff that came out in 1996. He thinks traveling through vents is the pinnacle of innovation, a trope so old I can't even find its first use in video gaming.

The backers should be correcting him, not falling for any nonsense...
