Well, the Cryengine can't do sprites like that very well, so that would have been hard to implement, because Chris would have had to do some actual programming then.

That is true. Maybe he could license that sprite engine from Confederate Express instead�

Also this is way too close to how landing the Retaliator felt

Yes. And CRobber is a mathsy guy, so he'll understand that 4 degrees of freedom means you can turn 4� per button press. Also, the Retaliator example proves that the high degree of fidelity would remain with this scheme.

The PVP slider also doesnt work with multicrew? If one person is slid to max and the other to min, you could argue that it'll just take the max, but since you can board anyone's ships and there's no groups... aaahhhh

You can configure which parts of the screen page left/right though?

I don't want to have the touchscreen enabled while I'm reading at all. Sometimes I'll fall asleep while I'm reading and/or accidentally touch the screen. It would infuriate me to accidentally switch pages :argh:

. With my Kindle 3 as it stands right now I can just leave my thumb on the next page button and press it whenever I want to switch a page. No moving of fingers, nothing. Just lie down and read.

Space farming is actually already announced:

"An Organics Module consists of two Biodomes, each of which consists of multiple discrete sections � gardening beds � where different species can be planted. Each section has growth lights above it, and a command console that allows the type and quantity of radiation to be specified and the application therefore automated. The temperature of a Biodome � but not the individual sections � can be specified, so if multiple species are grown alongside one another it�s best to ensure that they have similar tolerances with regard to temperature. The application of water, fertilizer, and the harvesting of the plants is done manually."

Post-hockey partial-alcohol musing time:

I got VoidSinger fired.

I'm not guessing many of you readers remember the old LTI laundering days. There was an incident involving a chat/forum volunteer moderator who was advertising she was doing LTI laundering in the RSI chatroll. Goons pointed me at it, seeing I was the big fish with the insider communication track (benphone.gif).

I looked at the evidence, considered the ramifications, and decided that a CIG mod, as lowly a position it was, was still a representative of CIG and should not conduct herself in this manner.

I wasn't very forgiving in my position, many before me had told her what she was doing was wrong, and she constantly made excuses for it. So I tracked her down to her home base forums, where she advertised the service, and confronted her. My position was that she had two options: To cease any further LTI laundering transactions as she was a CIG representative, or cease being a CIG representative. Her response was that she asked Sandi about it and she was cool with it, she had done nothing wrong and felt no need to stop LTI laundering.

Ben was sympathetic, he didn't like her either, but she was "friends" with Sandi so his objections were met with a brick wall.

So the solution was to go straight to Sandi. Long story short I stated my position on the matter. I didn't get a response. Shortly thereafter, VoidSinger was no longer a mod on CIG media.

I guess you can say it was the most productive interaction I had with Sandi. I have no idea what happened to Void after that. I wonder sometimes, but not for very long.

I think back on it, and consider my options at the time. It's a footnote, barely. And yet it was power projection on my part. Made me feel like I was doing something to make the product better. All things considered, I would have done the same again.

Deep down, I still want Star Citizen to succeed, it was something I was a part of, gave time and professional effort to it. I want to have fun reliving old GHSC antics of espionage, theft, and murder-for-hire.

But there's no excusing bad judgement and petty excuses, no matter if it's at the bottom of the company...

Or at the top.

I think it's also likely she only got fired because of some other unrelated thing, like insulting Sandi's acting.

Also something you should realize is that everything about Star Citizen is going to be very tactile and as a result of that very meaningful.

Visualization of your ship will be tactile and meaningful.

What in the hell is this guy on about? Not even taking into account his extremely confident cadence while describing the realities of a game that does not exist, this is ridiculous on every level. He uses the word tactile several times during his tirade, and he uses it wrong each time. I'm starting to think Star Citizen might not be a cult after all - it's more like a disease. Once you catch it, you slowly go insane until fantasy and reality merge entirely. In a tactile way, of course.

It makes some sense when he talks about grabby-hands cargo tetris, I suppose, but even then he's just plain wrong unless CIG suddenly decides to support force-feedback telepresence gloves.

I love to lay on my side and read one-handed this is working out perfectly with my Kindle 3. I really hope it won't break ever, because literally no good e-readers have buttons for switching pages. That's loving annoying.

Well, the Cryengine can't do sprites like that very well, so that would have been hard to implement, because Chris would have had to do some actual programming then.
