Fuzzy Modem posted:I was hoping the Star Citizen branded joystick would have a touchpad in place of a hat. I think it does have a trackball though, but that's just not the same. I still don't have a good solution for firing gimbaled weapons while orienting with a different axis. I love the configurability of Logitech Set Point. It's great to be able to map buttons on per-application basis, like mapping forward/back buttons to shift/control for light 3d work and such If I could stick a few extra buttons and maybe another trackball on my M570 I'd be set for life

Tippis posted:EVE has a couple of different tiers of “capability” in ships. Tech 1 (stuff anyone can build), Tech 2 (advanced versions of T1 ships), Tech 3 (alien-tech gimmick ships), and Faction ships (special hard-hitting pirate and empire ships). Wow, they actually put a persons game name in the word filter? That's some next level stuff there. Thanks for the write up.

warband on the loose, and it didn't help that everyone else actually agreed with the goons on this — and only this — one thing. It soon became clear that this was plain old developer malfeasance and outright cheating, so CCP had to actually do something to fix it all. Among other things, they instituted a player-populated oversight body called the Council of Stellar Management (which is own unending source of drama and political slapfighting, but that's for another time) and to slap a few wrists to at least regain some customer trust. Rules were also enacted that restricted exactly how devs could play the game privately.

It looks like a hail mary at some untapped funds, so there is some logic behind it, however skewed. With Chris Roberts involved, it's likely to be something really, almost unpredictably stupid.

Fuzzy Modem posted:You are totally right. They aren't actually there in her close-up and she is just pretending to see them, as her lighting was terrible the first time we shot (it's only slightly better now) so I had to get her close-up in a pickup shot later with neither of the other actors present. It's too bad you can tell, but as that location cost $100 and hour, even when we were still doing reshoots it wouldn't have been feasible. how is his sister two months older?

It was fun to develop the concept. It's based on a graphic novel I self published in 2007, but I ran the premise through a local writing workshop and distilled it down quite a bit.

I still find amazing how the cult keeps finding ways to defend this crap? I mean serously, basically he's telling you " we don't have a list where you can follow our progress, hell I have no clue what the developers are working on. We might re-do the EVA system.. you know just for the LULZ and because seemingly its the only thing we can fiddle with without breaking the whole drat engine Also, we have this special way of development where the content that is finished we send to PU, and the content that isn't finished will be patched in later when its done.... .... " WELLL DUUUUUUHHHH "except the Starmarine features tho completely finnished and need to be switched on"

darkarchon posted:I disagree. Spitting out versions just for the sake of spitting out a version without any relevant updates is not really how real development should be done. Also none of what he said prevents them from posting a roadmap or feature list. For having such tiny arms he sure is pro at hand waving.

Crazy_BlackParrot posted:something something laundering funds something something nepotism and putting SC in maintenance modus. One of the many things I really don't get about their operation is the commitment to pushing lots of little patches (especially when they often have to undo changes that break stuff). With the huge downloads their crappy patcher requires, can the illusion of progress that frequent patching provides really offset the annoyance it elicits among their dwindling playerbase?

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Previously they waited until features were available to release. Then the FPS module was delayed over and over again and it was several months before they posted any kind of substantial update. I bought one of those a couple years ago back when I played WoW a lot. It's the best mouse I've ever had and I use it for everything. My friends think I'm insane but it's so nice to have things like sprint and crouch bound to thumb buttons like that. I almost never use anything but the WASD keys on my keyboard for games anymore.

The thing I find so incomprehensible is Chris' belief that after launching his game(s) (parts) that his company's entire business model will be able to shift from revenue generated from space ship sales to revenue generated from sales of limited amounts of credits and sales of Game Packages.

Fuzzy Modem posted:That being said, I'm sure I have known terrible people without realizing they were terrible, but no, I do not believe Sandi- look, she would have to have, like, a split personality, which is possible, but pretty unlikely. I'm very done talking about it now. The Sandi bashing is the reason I DONT like this thread. I have nothing further to say on the matter. It's like a 2001 prequel where an ape looks at the Obelisk, furrows its brow, shrugs and then walks away. The rest of the movie is the ape flinging poo at any other ape that points out that there's a big ol obelisk over there. It runs for 300 minutes to a stunning musical score with some jaw dropping cinematography.

That illusion of progress isn't cheap. The 2.0.x patching to PTU & then live was almost half a million bucks worth of bandwidth. You'd think fixing & optimizing a crucial game infrastructure problem like patches that burn money & goodwill in equal measure would be a tip top engineering dev concern, but evidently the brain trust they have in Frankfurt is too busy extending the CryEngine to make planets rather than fixing basic problems that should have been fixed day 1.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Previously they waited until features were available to release. Then the FPS module was delayed over and over again and it was several months before they posted any kind of substantial update. It'll be a nice change of pace, from getting one major feature patch annually to being drip fed monthly bugfix/quality of life improvements. Sounds like deck chair arrangement to me though. I fully believe these patches will be so empty of actual changes that not even the reality distortion field will be able to deceive anyone except for most entrenched.
