I read about 10% of the SQ42 script, which I guess is 10% (or would that be 100%?) more than anyone else

I had thought of reading through it all and posting a summary with the important characters and events, but it's just not fun. Squadron 42 will never be fun - it will be poo poo as fuel for parody and much more poo poo to play. The writing is like the Bishop speech, objectively really really bad but a disappointment to those of us looking for soundbites to subvert

I dare say there was some skill required to do parts of this video but the maker(s) do not know their own limitations and so the end result is naff. It pretty much sums up Star Citizen except in this case there was a finished end product. The video.

It's going to have a coin-op SataBall and just look at this white hot awesome sauce! You tell me it's not that greatest thing ever and I'll name you liar.

Instead of all the base level issues, like lovely designs, lovely characters, z-fighting and pop-in issues, crappy animations, what still fascinates me is how they don't even get conservation of momentum rightat all.

And the brown sea keeps lapping it all up as the pinnacle of realism.

Admiral Bishop, please welcome Admiral Knight and Admiral Rook. They're going to help us win the war against the Vanduul. You'll have the support of our best squadrons. Squadrons 1 through 41 are led by Young Man, Middle-Aged Man, and other various-aged men, but Squadron 42 is led by Old Man, and is therefore grizzled and experienced. They'll be the vanguard against the local threat of the Dark Squadron led by Mylo Ben. Suit up!

It's episode 1 only though.

1 - Bishop turns on you and joins the vanduul/is captured

2- You try to find Bishop, shenanigans along the way

3- You save Bishop and kill the Vanduul. OldMan dies, Old Man dies.

Keeping true with the power of this subforum, as we predict plot twists and turns, CIG is frantically changing them to make us wrong. Therefore, to cause the most delay in SQ42's release, we must not stop predicting the plot. With Chris as writer, just predict the worst, most mundane thing and we're probably close to home. If we keep it up long enough, we might inadvertently force them to write something that isn't derivative crap.
