That's true. Bunch of nobodies.

So… insightful and often entirely correct, no matter how grating the language and in-your-face attitude is? I mean, he's not wrong. It would be perfectly normal for anyone with a bit of insight to criticise everything (except maybe the graphics) about SC. I just get the impression that this wasn't the inference he was going for.

“These 12 pages of negativity aren't actually bashing SC.” :cripes:

Also, what's strange about the page layout? I haven't kept my French up to snuff enough to make any judgement of tone or style, but I've read enough dead-tree publications to know that there's nothing particularly odd or idiotic about that design — it's outright conservative if anything.

2.1 Sale https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15157-Star-Citizen-Alpha-21-Available

Vanguard flight ready and Sabre hangar ready.

Nearly 100k more than you'd expect to have made yesterday, weekend's are better anyway, so figure maybe 300-500k extra over a week from putting 1 1/2 ships in the "game", no LTI none of that, also keeps daily figure bumped so larger concept sales can be spread out to bring in more for each one. Plus the long term effect of having more ships to sell that are actually flyable.

If I was them I'd start cutting/pasting everywhere and cranking the smaller ships out, it looks like progress with no real new tech required apart from the odd weapon, generates money, doesn't costs that much considering they should be doing it anyway and lets them pick when to do a concept sale for maximum income instead of being rushed into it to keep the daily figure bumped.

Only issue is SQ42 ships will have the priority and a lot of them are large which leaves room for a lot more noticeable cut/paste and clipping issues.

Performance issues (self.starcitizen)
submitted 3 hours ago by livid_t0ad Trader
I read several times that this game runs ok on even lower/mid end pcs. I have a i7-3770k (3.5-4GHz) and a gtx680 and it runs worse and min settings than anything i ever ran on max settigns (Crisis 3, Battlefield 4, Witcher 3 (high settings)). Is this normal performance or are there some things with my setup i need to work out?




I see you know nothing about game development, it's poo poo on purpose.

Getting ganked for the thirteenth time isn't going to be the last.


Like this hasn't been in MMOs before. I can recall Star Wars Galaxies and Champions having something like this. Someone else mentioned ST:O having it as well. It's old pat, really, and it's another one of those things that only if you've never played a recent game that it feels new to you.

Yeah, people forget that Ramsay's that way because he's a perfectionist. You have to be to be a Michelin three-star rated chef. While Anthony Bourdain disagrees with him often, you know that he respects him because Ramsay wants to get things done right.

Jesus, it's like nobody ever hung out in STV in WoW or something. Getting ganked is always going to be a thing. There's nothing you can do to fight it, especially not with the way they have things set up currently. Just submit.
