why does cig hire pikers?

Because halberdmen have too strong a union and are too expensive.

Hows patch m with FPS?

"I think that the improvements in FPS are genuine ones since the PTU uses less hardware to handle the server but has less people using it. I was in the PTU earlier on a full server and it stayed at 27 fps pretty consistently."

" I mean the first person gunplay feels more fluid and less janky like before."

All hail 27 FPS as the standard

quote:

While true that the universe will not have millions of active NPCs, the background simulation of the AI will in fact populate the space where players are located. If there's a battle simulated in space and one player happens to QT into it, it'll appear. Whenever players walk into cities, NPCs will populate the cities with a variety of standard jobs you'd expect to see such as janitorial duties, bartending, peacekeeping, medical work, shopkeeping, and even thuggery if you travel down the wrong alley. Each of these standard jobs will have their own set of mini jobs to do. When a bartender isn't serving drinks he'll be cleaning glasses, sweeping, wiping down the bar, etc. All meant to simulate a living, breathing universe.

quote:

Not necessarily just when they spawn, but these NPCs will have actual lives they're living. They'll have reasons for being in the same city you're in. You may be in a gun shop and an NPC walks in and wants to buy a gun because he's about to venture into lawless space for the first time. This system will also generate missions for players, where an escort mission could be taken from this specific planet to protect this specific NPC as he hunts for, say, a blackbox from a ship that got destroyed. These missions will also have threads, wherein a player may choose to investigate further once this mission is complete, find out who or why this ship was destroyed. That could lead to a bounty hunting mission where you hunt down a well-known pirate in the area.

It never ceases to amaze me how the shitizens will describe these crazy fantastical features that SC will have even though they're not technically feasible without a huge engineering/network cost. I'm sure when he's challenged on this he'll turn to the ol' "CIG has this groundbreaking new tech that no one else has, they just can't show it yet!!!"

to JERK OFF is to be close to GOD... only with SPURTING

I posit that CIG is, itself, the ELE. Let's look at the evidence.

The Chicxulub Impactor, an asteroid or comet at least 10km in diameter, hit the Earth. Its arrival was itself a brief event of cataclysmic energy, but its aftereffects are what changed the world forever. The dust it kicked up caused a climate disruption which created ecological space for species which had been living in a (literally) tiny niche. The impactor itself is no more; only the changes it wrought remain. The fallout of this iridium-rich ash would form a layer known as the K-Pg (Cretacious-Paleogene) boundary, found worldwide, which divides the time of the dinosaurs from our modern world.

CIG, a hobbyist movie studio made of egos of unmeasurable size, hit the internet. Its arrival was itself a brief event of cataclysmic funding, but its aftereffects are what changed gaming forever. The dust it kicked up caused a market disruption which created ecological space for space games, which had been occupying a nearly-ignored niche. CIG itself will soon be no more; only the changes caused by their moronic actions will remain. The fallout of their hate-rich management would cause an event known as the K-T (Kickstarter-Toughshit) boundary, which divides the time of Kickstarter refunds from our modern world.

You obviously don't understand Kickstarters as that was Kickstarter 1.0. By even thinking of the project goals you have agreed to Kickstarter 4.20 which has devolved into a nonstop LA coke party

All around me are familiar Vlogs
Worn out co-stars, failed fat man's blogs
Bright and early for their daily excuses
Going nowhere, going nowhere.

Their tears are filling up their laptops
No expression, no expression
Hide their heads, they wanna drown their sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow.

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The thread in which I'm posting
Is the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people shitpost in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world.

Smarties waiting for the day they feel good
Happy ELEday, Happy ELEday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen.

Went to CIG and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello CRoberts, tell me when's release date
Looked right through me, looked right through me.

On a lighter note, finally caught up with most of this madness. I'm going to have to adopt a DSmart style of reading the last few thousand posts though.
