I bet we could get CIG to commit to the character dance creation studio that WoW players have been asking Blizzard to implement for years.

We might as well help pile on the feature bloat.

According to leaks CIG will add full support for the Dance Dance Revolution Mat. One of the possible endings in SQ42 is having your character challenge the Vanduul leader to a dance off. You got served!

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.

Excuse me sir but the games you cited do not have a space court which will solve all these issues

So I ended up looking at fish on the shop page and found "WARNING : At the moment, the Hangar Fishtank Mk1 is only able to display one of each fish. If you buy the same fish twice you’ll only see one in the Fishtank until multiple fish instances are supported."

The thing is that this is exactly how they should be doing it. The Vindicator Sabre seemingly went from concept to hangar in the span of three months. The Vanguard went from concept to flyable in nine. That's a good thing, because they have a shitload of assets to make.

I agree with this 10000%.

It's literally the only smart ship design decision I've seen from them. There's a reason my Infiniti can take parts from a Nissan Z, it makes way more sense for the designer/engineer to use preexisting parts

That's a red herring, the mat will be used in combination with the VR helmet and the new $800 SC Light Gladius* to allow unprecedented first person melee fighting.

* Order now, the High Tech Luxury SC Light Gladius will be limited to the first 10,000 orders on a first come first served basis**

** the manufacturing of such high quality goods takes a long time so there is no estimation on how long it will take to fulfill all orders

I'm curious why stagnation of progress is a theme and why 10,000 year old armor etc is better than anything made modernly. Where can I read more dumb poo poo about these made up things?

What? You mean another game mechanics money grab? Why yes, yes of course. Because, you know, they don't need the money. After all, croberts has stated on the record that if funding stopped they still had enough to complete the project. So yeah.

Star Citizen

We have walked on Money ! (NT. : they are making a pun, in french , Thune (slang for money) rhyme with Lune (moon)

The history of a guy digging for money to make his game. He was digging deeper and deeper, but all he found was gold, so he never stopped digging.
By Guy Moquette and Ivan le Fou,

In December 2015, according to data made available by its developers, Star Citizen has exceeded 100 millions in crowsourced revenue funding. (And yes, i’m mixing Crowdfunding and revenues, you will understand why later). Not only has this amount never been reached in crowdfunding (the game was entered into the Guinness book of records once it reached 40 millions as the project with highest crowdfunding amount, all categories) but its also an extraordinary amount for a PC exclusive game budget.

Some video game has reputedly exceeded this amount (marketing budget included) but they are usually games for numerous platforms, PC and consoles. Only 2 PC exclusive titles haves exceeded this amount, Electronic Arts MMO Star wars : the old republic, who turned out to be a disappointment for its publisher and the less know GTA clone All point Bulletin, who turned out to be a disaster causing the bankruptcy of its developer (Realtime Games). Both titles where counting on a subscription system to recover the massive investment something that is not the case for Star Citizen,
The man in charge of spending this huge pile of money is not unknown, his names is Christ Roberts.

The man with a cat Shaped head, Chris Roberts, is an American who spent his youth in Manchester and managed as a 20 year old to convince Richard Gariott and his company, Origin Systems, to produce a space sim named Wing Commander, a spectacularly successful games in the 90’s. But there are more than one Chris Roberts.

The first one is the young man who invented the modern space sim. Presented at the CES Chicago in 1990, Wing Commander demo would cause a panic in LucasArts who wha planning to release X-Wing a few weeks later. X-wing would finally be released 2 years later to allow it to catch up. David Braden Elite was released in 1984, but Wing Commander far exceeded the wireframe representation and established the standards in terms of gameplay, mission designs, immersion and cat headed opponents. This Christ Roberts has produced ambitions and innovative games. He made a fortune with wing Commander, but got even more money by selling the rights to the IP to electronic Arts with the acquisition of Origin System in 1992.




Tl;Dr : Star Citizen has a bigger budget than nearly every PC exclusive game in History. Christ Roberts is in charge and his young self released a genre defining game 25 years ago.
