Man, if this thing weren't so broken as gently caress, there'd be so much potential for comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dBZVrC8d1A
Also looks like they still haven't understood how to simulate the most basic elements of newtonian physics in an effective way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIBnSrF3wHw Did they say they were trying to implement a new physics system from scratch or something?

It looks like poo poo (too much engine for the airspaceplane). Also, is this one of those that will come after launch?
Lastly, wasn't this supposed to have 360 gun coverage or sth?

It does! Using the fidelitous physics in StarEngine, you can just spin around and fire in any direction!

Why are a half dozen guns shoved in right next to the engines? Wouldn't they overheat?

Still trying to figure out whether those trapezoids with grills on the end are MORE ENGINE or MORE GUN.

Sorry, I am going to HAVE to do the inverted cockpit to cockpit move the whole time. Need to ramp up the strain, so he snaps and finally attacks me for my precision flying. I want to imagine his tears when he gets locked up in his wank pod for being a bad boy.

So a jolly roger is a flag that you can take down when you need to surprise someone or go back to civilization. Do these pirates have to repaint their ships each time they want to go incognito?

Seriously, I have just seen a few videos of 2.4 with the beginnings of persistence and it looks awesome!!! It is really so immersive [honestly, wtf, I swear to god I have to restrain myself]... such a good job they are doing... Star citizen realism will not be comparable with any other simulator o video game that I have seen... This universse, if they continue to do it like this I think we will never would want to leave it anymore. Such beauty.

The cultists have probably forgottten all about that by now.

But that little fact about all ships after the Endeavor (Sabre probably being an exception) being at risk of not being launch (launch, haha) should be broadcasted to all corners of the globe to be honest. Every day, every minute.

There's a lot of interesting stuff that goes into sci-fi weapon (and armor, for that matter) design.

But for me the bottom line of it is that I think the current modern day G36 is a boring, ugly, lazy design, and I think any sci-fi weapon based off of it is at the bottom of the barrel of acceptability - actually gently caress that, it's unacceptable.

Now, that's all totally independent of how the G36 actually performs - I'm sure it's a fantastic weapon or whatever, but it just looks like a boring uninspired piece of poo poo.

There's already such a huge roadmap for designing future guns, be it from modifying current or historical firearms or designing them from scratch, that using a lovely G36 clone is just about the worst design decision they could have made.

Actually, not so much- you apparently missed it, but it turns out that the G36 is a fundamentally flawed design and it was a huge controversy last year. Due to its polymer construction it becomes hideously inaccurate under sustained firing conditions, but it can also become unacceptably inaccurate due to ambient temperature and humidity conditions. The German military concluded it was an issue inherent to the platform and ceased purchasing new G36's in early 2015 in favor of the HK416 (though they also subsequently concluded it did not have major problems in combat conditions and stopped searching for a replacement- read into that what you will).

Well there you go - it looks like a malnourished dump AND it sucks to use. Better base our whole FPS around using a Tonka-toy version of it with future-bits glued on the side.

MoMA i know you ignore most posts that are tearing you apart, repeatedly, about everything you say.

I get that it's about you getting your message out there and working against the narrative, but something you don't realize is you are giving everyone a masterclass in how loving wrong you are when you come here and constantly point out specific lies to try and defend them.

The only way to defend star citizen is with vague claims about bullshit that can't be proven. You coming in and trying to argue specifics has given an entire encyclopedia series on why we are right, not subjectively but every literal objective reason down to court cases, testimonials, past history, literal proof, insider sources, industry standards, government regulations and anything else.

It's the same thing as when Octopode would come in and make claims about any number of things that people with actual knowledge would refute him on directly. The Engine? Positioning? Game Development? Hiring Practices? Wages? All of these elaborately explained to the end result of star citizen being an impossible scam.

You are doing more to point out how much of a scam Star Citizen really is that anyone else put together. Most people here are just posting speculation and waiting for actual developments, you are dragging every lie right out into the spotlight and then evaporating like a gay genie when it's under fire.


Feel free to ignore this to argue minutiae about something completely stupid though.

gently caress me. The physics in this game just look worse and worse. Whoever originally said it was noclip movement was bang on. Watching these big ships twitch and spin with absolutely no momentum (inertia?) is hilarious. I look forward to even bigger ships being jammed into the engine and watching them behave in exactly the same way.

gently caress, how this is apparently still pulling in millions of dollars a month is absolutely mind boggling. Like seriously insane. What. The. gently caress.

Hmm yes this gun is great for stealth, until your blue LED alarm clock goes off that you forgot you set.

That pirate ship is like a 5 year olds idea of the perfect ship. I thought the whole point of being a pirate, is to blend in, not stand out?
