There should be a ParpCorp module, where all the shops are closed and buggies blow up the moment you touch them. In other words, identical to ArcCorp on SC.

And on top of that, SQ42 isn't even a complete product - it's the first in a long series. That's gonna suck some funds out too. So when exactly does Star Citizen the pseudo-mmo get enough attention to even begin development?

how many episodes is SQ42 supposed to be now? 3? 5? lol

Dr Smart, what is the progress on that class action suit? If I recall, I think I signed up as interested when you asked for emails, and been keeping up with your blogs, but wondering what your next move is, and where your endgame plan is?

PS thanks for the Line of Defense key, the game is in rough shape now but I've been looking to scratch my Planetside itch, so will be keeping track of progress!

:iiam:

I'm guessing there still will be 3 official "episodes" but the first one will be split up in parts to make backers happy

Then after part #1 of chapter #1 is released, they will scrap half the planned content work hard to bring the story to backers' hands much faster than planned, so we'll probably be looking at about 3 releases total

Supreme court ruled arbitration clauses prevent class-action suits, so there will be no more of those like ever

Hello Commandos
I think it's pretty narrow sighted of people to try and limit Chris's vision into how many episodes there will be.
A game of this scope cannot be defined by numbers, it will take however many episodes it takes to finally give the world the epic space opera that only Chris can come up with

Derek, do you want us to submit bug reports?

I can't switch from the default resolution to 2440x1400 because the mouse is still stuck inside the 1280x1024 box, so I can't reach the buttons for ok or back, I have to alt-f4 the game.

edit: after alt-tabbing a couple of times I could move the mouse to the apply/back buttons, however I can't use teleporters now.

Congress is looking to put through a new law which greatly diminishes arbitration agreements, but who knows when it may go through, or if it would be retroactive.

Erin Roberts s“The one player campaign in Squadron 42 is played out in five chapters, with around 15 hours of content in each chapter. Each chapter will be like a game in it self, and when all the chapters are released Squadron 42 will contain over 70 hours of content.”

At this point who knows if 800 pages of sheet music is anything to go by.

Edit : found the quote.

15 hours of content in dev speak usually translates into about 6-7 hours tops. This likely includes cut-scenes.

Its going to be The Order 1886 with somehow worse gameplay and writing, if it comes out at all.

Ideally the lower the pvp slider the higher the rape slider.
