hi everyone what's going on in this thread :cool:

For the last few months I've been tearing apart the leaked (moddable) alpha build of SC with four primary objectives:

* Make the Constellation flyable in a build the "public" actually has access to (note: this project started before 2.0 came out, but this also uses the "old" Constellation, not the revamped one)
* Make a fun story using a combination of mission scripting edits and post-processing witchcraft, using completely original footage of a heavily modded (if buggy) game environment to capture the kind of situations I hope Star Citizen can one day pull off
* Put this goon's amazing voice in the game
* Sneak a Goonrathi logo in somewhere (you'll know it when you see it)

After an insane amount of effort (and an even more insane amount of generosity from the aforementioned goon voice-actor (3 / Arkimedes) in churning out all the dumb lines I sent him and making them actually sound awesome), I've finally accomplished all four of these objectives! I'd love to hear what you guys think :)

Introducing: Flight of the Constellation v2.0! (v2.0 because this one's way more awesome and ambitious than the first one)

You will struggle with refunds now but you should be able to get a chargeback I think. Have a search through the thread. In case you really haven't twigged yet, this thing is a trainwreck, get out now.

god drat I suck. Fixed!

I actually did post it on Reddit but it got downvoted into oblivion within like ten seconds, no joke. It still got noticed by a few and eventually pulled into a positive score, but still dropped out of visibility pretty quickly compared to other threads going on at the time.

I was actually kinda even hoping an original project like this with a bunch of fresh content might even get noticed for the "MVP" thing CIG does, but no luck yet.

A decade from now, archived Reddit posts on r/starcitizen are going to end up as part of some academic paper about group psychology.

The whole thing keeps giving me flashbacks to the Great Console Wars. Back in the day when you only had money for one system so you'd choose one, and play it, and adamantly fight with your friends to argue that you got the best one and that therefore if they had anything else they didn't have the best one. and you would never be dissuaded. Because giving in, even an inch, is admitting you spent your money on the wrong one and not the best one.

It sounds exactly like that, what with the constant, weak attacks on Elite at all times. They have to put it down out of their own insecurity that they didn't pick the best one. Except the console wars are over: plenty of people now afford multiple consoles so you can judge them individually on merit. I mean, sure, there are still fanboys but it doesn't get to the same kind of blinders-on, full speed ahead level. And of course in this case, it's just software: playing one or the other game is vastly less expensive. Star Citizen will (might possibly if it gets finished) be great! Meanwhile here, enjoy something else. You could have skipped one Hornet in your hangar, gotten Elite and several future expansions, and just have been out one ship. Then you could enjoy both with friends who also enjoy both, and play whatever strikes your fancy when it's available.

But no. No, no. We have to go all in on the best one. I have to show my fandom is pure and shout down the nonbelievers. Because if I don't, I don't look like I backed the best one, and my fragile little ego couldn't compensate for that.

And I just realized they're pulling the same by bashing SA. Our posters here are largely perfectly fine with having Reddit accounts. There's a lot of good poo poo over there (r/legaladvice is loving laffo). Alas: they have to draw the lines.

Chris should employ people to compile bits of it until star citizen pops out. Better chance of making the game than whatever rear end backwards approach he's using atm.

You haven't grasped the concept of The Library yet, I'm afraid. :siren: Star Citizen is already in there somewhere :siren:, if only an intrepid Citizen climbed the mountain and brought down the stone plates with the full code of the Best drat Space Sim Ever we could be playing it right now.

Reading this poo poo is making me grin, considering most people I know are different shades of technophobes and wouldn't even understand how something inside a computer could ever be relevant.

It's also funny to hear I apparently found Something Awful for the first time a full year after it fell into irrelevancy. Man, what bad luck! :allears:

Someone should go on Reddit and tell those guys everything we do with computers is irrelevant. Including Star Citizen. They just don't hear about this because those ingrates in the real world don't use computers.
