Since I can't be arsed to register, explain this to Cmdr Cheese Wedge on FDev — I'm sure it'll piss off the shill even more that the first example is from a filthy console game:

Local Physics Grid is just a fancy PR term for the ability to give different parts of the game world different physics, usually tied to a particular location or proximity to a given world object. It's how games like the Uncharted series creates the train level in 2 and the boat levels in 3; how Serious Sam has rooms with an ever-shifting “down” vector; and how Space Engineers has its transitions between space, planet, and ship interiors. You can even find it in more fancy Unreal maps as far back as UT99 (and in UnrealEngine 4, there's even a ready-made plug-in for it that lets you assign all kinds of proximity- or touch-based physics to objects), whereby you use portal meshes to twist different zones around and make them appear to have different “down” directions from one room to the next.

Done :)

Yes. I've written about it. In fact, there is an update about that from May 24

http://www.dereksmart.org/forums/topic/star-citizen-tos/

quote:

UPDATE 16/05/24: Sources are telling me that a new ToS revision is in the works and will be shoved through either in the upcoming public release of 2.4 or thereafter. If you ever hope to get financial accountability or refunds – two of the key provisions of the current ToS v1.2 – do not agree to it. On June 1st, backers have the legal right to both a refund and financial accountability as promised.

for backers that seek advise or have opinions you want to freely discuss that are undesired on the rsi forum or on /r/starcitizen. and you don't want to register here on SA for whatever reason.
you can join the discussion over the frontier forums' star citizen thread

To add to this, I'd advise anyone to ensure they choose a username that's totally different from they have ever used elsewhere - CIG are watching, and will try to connect you to your account on the SC forum. Then they will use any excuse to permaban you.

Edit - And when you post on the FD forum, write like you were talking to your mother. FD aim to have a 'family friendly' forum, and there are rules about being respectful to other posters. State your opinion without resorting to emotional/insulting language. Just let the facts speak for themselves.

On another note, I wonder if CitizenCon will be like this in 2016:

    I don't like how the ship AI goes nuts when you re-enter from EVA. It'll constantly raise and lower the landing gear. Anvil Aerospace pls fix.

    It's all pretty nice. I wish we could get less freezes and more stable fps though. I know it's alpha and I understand bugs, just that there's so many changes that it'd really help if game ran a bit smoother.

    Crashed out of the online universe with no warning due to some kind of authentication issue(?)

    Graphics bugs

    Choppy performance in online universe (though less so in the drone simulator)


Even a thread that's meant to be positive ends up feeling sad and depressing, as if they're trying to find reasons to like it but are steadily getting more and more disheartened.

Just so I'm clear:

Backers are a-okay with never receiving a product. They have given CIG millions of dollars that they, for some reason, trust the company to not gently caress off with to Mexico. There is zero time limit on this. They have given money to what amounts to a clickbait ad to the tune of a small military budget. In the event that CIG does indeed declare failure, shitizens get their money back - but, of course, that won't happen until CIG runs out of money, QED, there still won't be any refunds after the sad trombone.

Ray is running a big risk tweeting like that, you've got to have some respect for him sticking to his guns like this. Sure he'll say he didn't mean anything by it but it's a dramatically critical change to his tweeting style, I have no clue what's going on there but he's obviously really unhappy with CIG at the moment.

A little legal grey area that the grey market traders haven't thought of, if you buy something with melted credits are you covered under the 14 day from purchase refund period as it's a new purchase? CIG might say no, in the EU....

It is pretty standard stuff really. If CIG denied advertising, then that would be novel. You can monetize your content via that avenue, or via donations.
