i present you the parp systems A-3whatever "shortbus" for space parping

it comes with a viewport set at knee level for fidelity and immersion and a van door* you can paint with whatever jpeg you want as long as you buy that jpg from the Solar Plebeian show room from an authorized dealer

* we are aware of a bug with the van door, opening it will eject you into warp

it costs $250 and comes with LTI whatever that does

E: this one has a wizard painted on the side but the only limit to what can be there is dreams and also what we carry in the store

Dude I can't wait to write the game logic that randomly ejects players from seemingly innocuous objects at unfathomable velocities.

Of note: I actually have to ADD CODE to Solar Plebeian's flight model to make ship collisions even remotely as hilarious as SC's "weightless bird physics." Given I'm just a hobbyist, that should make you think.

Some of the physics silliness can be explained by desync, but not all of it. My theory is they've hand-written their own "translation based" physics code, which would explain why they're having such a tough time detecting collisions, transferring momentum, and generally honoring mass.

The expansion was announced 5 months ago. And you would have gotten a $15 credit on the purchase of Horizons, meaning you would have payed a whopping $5 more to play it earlier.

What credit? If I want to play Horizons I have to fork out another $33USD. I'm looking at the steam store right now. Elite Dangerous: Horizons, $32.99USD with the 20% steam sale discount applied. Unless you mean directly after Horizons was released, in which case no discount or credit was displayed anywhere on the product page I viewed.

Maybe it's for the best, Horizons doesn't look particularly deep based from the gameplay videos I've seen posted. I watched the flashy launch trailer for Horizons and saw all the planetary surface combat and thought that'd be in the game, but apparently not?

It's really cool listening to these guys talk about the 1st/3rd person stuff. Like, really cool. It's clear that they have an appreciation for the tech, and a genuine love for their work, that Sandi/Ben/CR are utterly incapable of delivering. I mean holy poo poo I've watched the whole loving thing and it's REALLY loving GOOD.

Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.
This was the first bit of content that came out of LA that actually channelled the goofy, freewheeling, straight-tech-talking info dumps of the Wingman era. While it is impossible for me to take Ben seriously (he parrots whatever the lie-from-on-high is), Sandi (come on), the RtV castmates (they mostly goof off), etc-- a guy like Sean comes across as credible, trustworthy, and humble.

Sandi/Ben, if/when you read this, THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING THE WHOLE TIME AND YOU SHOULD DO MORE OF IT GOING FORWARD. Reverse the Verse ERODES CONFIDENCE in the project -- save when you have guys like Sean on.



Give people faces they can trust and put aside vanity and ego and you just might help regain partial control of your narrative, CIG.

The same was true with having degree-holding library sciences major Cherie Helberg on talking about video game lore and the importance of archiving games for historical purposes. That she is impish and has a ludicrous laugh would be a big plus on top of that.

You have credible, educated, talented men and women in your employ-- people who are easy to trust and without any baggage. Make them your new faces, give them the freedom to say "No- that's not going to be in game" (like sean did tonight) and you could greatly improve your standing with dissenting fans. (Which is a WIN/WIN for everybody but us hecklers!)

Keep your throttle in the blue for maximum manoeuvrability. Yaw is deliberately nerfed so you need to use pitch and roll mostly, yaw is just good for minor adjustments. Use thrusters when pitching to gain an advantage in turning fights. Also helps to make use of your forward and back thrust to stay on their tail, if you feel like you're about to overtake slam on the brakes and it'll help keep enemies in sight. If you want you can switch FA off and spin around to shoot behind without changing your direction of travel, but be aware that movement is sluggish when doing this so you don't wanna be too close or they'll tear you a new one and turn around for another go. Get used to adjusting energy distribution on the fly - WEP increases the available weapon energy and recharge rate, ENG changes your top speed, SYS affects the shield resistance and recharge. If you're being shot at prioritise SYS then ENG, if you're the one doing the shooting you want pips in WEP. Check target details before engaging and see what kind of loadout they're packing. If you're going up against a ship with loads of turrets it's different to facing up to something toting big powerful front facing guns like cannons or plasmas.

Ugh, while napping before my hockey game tonight, I had a Star Citizen dream where Erin Roberts accidentally BCC'ed me in an email to Goons vehemently defending Sandi's abilities and role in SC and SQ42 development, as well as claiming her past transgressions as patently false, and finally saying that Goons like us are the kind of trash that kill video games.

To my credit, I responded back to him about the allegations.

And I signed the email with PAAAAAAAARP.

A man visiting a Santa Monica video game studio reportedly "exposed his genitals to a female member of staff", before drawing a handgun and shooting nine people. The assault ended when a bullet hit staff member Ben Lesnick, rebounded and killed the unnamed gunman instantly. We tried to get a comment from Mr. Lesnick, but we believe he was in a state of shock, because he kept simply rambling on about "Winged Commandos" while checking his phone every few seconds.
