Well I for one am very much looking forward to the 100's of players all parkouring around me on a procedurally generated, Crysis detailed landscape while multiple servers organically and seamlessly hand off which players are being tracked by which, while I sit and fish for a super rare species which I can take across the universe and sell to a collector for a small fortune. See you in the 'verse cammando o2

The number one thing to remember when you are watching Crobbington stumble, ramble, flail and bullshit his way through these 104TC videos is that these are prerecorded with HANDPICKED questions! These are the questions he and Ben have chosen for him to address. Considered on that level it is mindbogglingly incompetent.

BBB heard back from RSI. These people amaze me with their word garbage. On February 26, 2016, the business provided the following information: Customer's complaint is addressed to the wrong entity: his contract is with Roberts Space Industries Corp. ("RSI"), and we are responding on behalf of that entity. Customer committed his pledge for the development of Star Citizen in 2012, on Kickstarter, and he accepted RSI's Terms of Service when he migrated his account pledge to RSI. Pursuant to the Terms of Service Customer accepted when he made his pledge, funds pledged are treated as deposit to be used for the "Game Cost", and such deposit "earned by RSI and become(s) non-refundable to the extent that it is used for the Pledge Item Cost and/or the Game Cost..." Customer specifically agreed to "irrevocably waive any claim for refund of any deposit amount that has been used for the Game Cost..." Please see RSI's Terms of Service, Sec. IV A for further reference (https://robertsspaceindustries.com/tos). The Customer committed his pledge to the development of Star Citizen in 2012. Development of the Game has proceeded unabated and RSI is delivering content on a continuing basis. The full value of his pledge has been earned by RSI over years of effort and production, and no portion of it is unearned or returnable to Customer now years after the fact. Contrary to the Customer's complaint, an accounting is only promised in the unlikely event that the Game is not delivered. The development of the Game is in full progress, involving over 290 developers and staff across four studios. Development has not been abandoned at all, and consequently the accounting is not owed. Pursuant to Sec. VII of the Terms of Service, Customers did "acknowledge and agree that delivery as of such date is not a promise by RSI since unforeseen events may extend the development and/or production time." While quite a lot of the promised gameplay is now available, we acknowledge that delivery of some game elements has been delayed. This is a direct result of the community's declared desire to have the initial release version of the game developed to a much greater depth, detail, and fidelity than contemplated originally upon start of the campaign. Ultimately, this evolution of development will benefit all backers including the Customer, since every backer will be receiving a much greater value for his/her pledge, but it may - as in this case - cause an extension of the delivery dates. It is inherent to the nature of crowdfunding that such an adjustment to the project may occur. In summary, RSI has earned and applied Customer's pledge to the development cost of the Game, and in accordance with the Terms of Service, to which Customer expressly agreed, Customer is no longer entitled to a refund. These terms are consistent with the specific nature of crowdfunding. We understand that some individuals may not want to wait for the completion of the project and ask for refunds, but put simply, "takebacks" are not compatible with the whole concept of crowdfunding.

That your refund is not only due to the slipped deadlines but also that the project that is being delivered is fundamentally different than the one you agreed to when you backed, point to feature creep like procedural tech and the removal of drop-in drop-out co-op, whatever. I wasn't even a KS backer so my case is actually far less tight than yours. I can forward you my emails with CS if you want to show them proof of people being given refunds really recently. e:Ironically they really hosed up by telling me that they were giving me a refund out of courtesy, rather than due to Australian consumer law.

In light of CIG claiming yet again that a large amount of SC has been released, here's what Community Manager Jared had to say about the state of the game on INN today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6ez9m1bkuY&t=1496s If Star Citizen were a normal game, do you think its at the point where people would start hearing about it or would it still be in the kept behind closed doors stage? Jared: [blathering for a while]. But, no. If this had been a closed project, if this had still been made under a brand new origin and we were BC funded and all that stuff like any normal game, we probably wouldn't be aware star citizen existed. But that's one guy talking out of his rear end right now the only person who really knows is Chris Roberts. --------------- v reassuring imo

Beet Wagon posted:Nope, it's been this way since forever. It's just bad design, through and through. The problem is they felt the need to try and automate a bunch of stuff for you to make your ship feel smart (as opposed to Elite's "put your gear down and then strafe down onto the pad" solution which works perfectly) and the end result is that regular flying is loving ruined, any kind of close manuevering is loving ruined, you can never tell where you're going to actually land or if your ship is just going to drift away when you get out, AND there's like three different kinds of assisted landing mode to help you out - all of which are completely loving unusable unless you've played their tutorial and learned how to use them. That tutorial is broken, by the way. So have fun with your brand new super-futuristic pile of poo poo. E:D goes one further than button combos - when free-looking you can look through the systems menu on the right pane and find landing gear, lights, cargo scoop, all toggle-able items within the in-game UI. So you have bindable buttons, button combinations and an in-fiction ("immersion") means of doing such a simple thing as lowering landing gear instead of the "landing gear lowered, landing gear raised, landing mode engaged" BS in Star Citizen.

Just like the $2500 Javelin. e; I just don't even know what you say anymore. It's already in the game. Parkour. Birds. Take a poo poo in the river while fishing on your personal planet.

Loiosh posted:One small note on energy weapons, is that they would have recoil based on how powerful they are. I'm not excusing shittiness here, just some information on general relativity. I think a lot of people would be surprised to know that energy is mass. What does that mean practically? I always thought one of the main points of laser weapons was the almost direct transfer of energy without wasting a good bit on the transfer from potential to kinetic.

That's true, I forgot about that. Oh, you also have a module you can fit to your ship that enables an auto-docking procedure, if you're a baby back bitch that doesn't like docking at maximum throttle.

Trying to do kinetic damage with a laser means pumping so much energy into the target that it vaporises or at least gets a big chunking hold through it, at which point energy transfer no longer happens.

Just make their stupid flying wing bullshit. But instead of the wing rotating, make the cockpit slide up to the top so it's all giant and retarded. kinda like this, if that makes sense. In the first mode it would be like a sword slicing/ramming through space, and in the second it would be like a shovel, just plowing through parpmeisters en masse: e: forgot my drat pitcher

Something like a slinky with wings ? You could switch between a "straight" mode with the ends pointing forward and back that is fast but with bad turn radius or "bent" mode with both ends pointing at a 45 angle from the center to turn on a dime but is slower on a straight line since you forward thrust is a composite vector ? 1 - Gotta go fast mode :  2- Fast turn mode :  but with the ends pointing at an angle, not both straight back The ship special abilities could be that in mode #1 it can go very fast but don't really do that much damage and bounce back a lot when it rams and maneuver very well in mode #2. If you ever played star control the Mmrnmhrm ships where a great example. Fast with bad turn with homing weak weapon in mode 1, slower and quick turner with close range high damage weapon in mode 2
