Your SETTINGS count as “persistence”? Your cash? In other words, to get a game where you have less persistence than Star Citizen, you would have to set up the client and earn new cash every time you run the exe. You're really aiming for the stars with your unprecedented ambition here, Chris. Jesus. loving. Christ.

One of the inside reports was that Roberts believes he is a genius, while everyone else is laughing behind his back. This could all be delusional nonsense by someone who thinks he'll be able to pull it off in the end.
Yeah-- and I'm willing to even believe it. But the fact that inside reports are telling us he's completely deluded about everything is a potential indicator that the ship leaks from the top. I still think we will see warning signs, leaks, defections, etc. before a collapse because the very parties who think he's in cloud cuckoo land would be making their way for the exits before the deluded one crashed it into a hillside.

So now everything down to the tubes carrying air on your spacesuit are going to be functional and if someone shoots them then you start to suffocate.

Every wire on a ship is going to be modelled for carrying electricity so if one gets cut you lose part to whatever that wire is attached to.

I would say this is right, thanks! I looked at it forever and I am convinced, but it is stretched and skewed a bit, so it throws you off.

So Roberts just said something that I find to be absurd. He states that desync happens because the FPS of the server drops to be less than your client and then you desync. What the bloody hell? Why would the server be rendering anything fps related? Does he know what the gently caress he is talking about at all?
