So has CIG even thought

....yeah, that's where that sentence stops, don't you think?

Although the sad fact is that they probably do have people working there who have thought it through, but none of them are in any position to make meaningful decisions about what the game should be like, and anyway, the game itself is nowhere near being functional enough to support any meaningful decisions in the unlikely scenario where one of them got to make some. It's probably easier to keep your head down all day and find a door you could fix in the next patch or make a space-hat or whatever. Safer, too. Maybe if you do the task assigned to you without offering your unsolicited and unwanted "thoughts," you can get someone to write you a nice letter of recommendation when you suddenly find yourself having to move to another city and find another job at another company for personal reasons nothing to do with job satisfaction seriously just tell management they should keep doing what they're doing best place to work ever YAY

Some of the reformed backers responded to one of my posts recently echoing this.

"Has CIG thought about how LTI will even actually work"

The answer is that they said at one point what LTI would be and over the years have contradicted, changed, half referenced it so much that it's obvious they have zero actual plan, no documentation, nothing in the works. Chris Roberts decides everything and he is busy with his movie shoot.

Backers will answer this with "Of course" and then lightly reference the original definition CIG laid out then throw in 3,000 words of complete conjecture.

They have described mining a dozen different times in a dozen different ways. Nobody knows which version is the actual truth, what stage of work is complete on it, when it would even be in the game and the only way you can keep justifying all of this bullshit is if you are deluded enough to cherry pick 1/10th of the information CIG has given that you like and then pretend that's what you will get. The only reason to do that is to prove that you are right about Star Citizen not being a scam though.

someone posted a question by a citizen on the rsi forums that asked basically 'if we have 1million citizens and 9 million active npcs alll trying to dominate control for wealth in 100 systems, how the gently caress will that work' and the official response was 'i have no loving idea'. that should give you some insight into how much cig has thought about anything chris has promised. also if anyone wants to repost what i'm talking about that'd be cool.

What? No,

The 9:1 NPC-to-PC ratio is relevant when discussing griefing or the viability of niche spergtastic career choices
When discussing whether that might lead to too high player density or the consequent performance penalty, that problem's solved by instancing
If you're worried the instancing will lead to small battles with paltry client counts, that's solved by nesting the instances so they're computationally separate while being fully integrated into a bigger world
If you, by contrast, worry that you have no friends so your ship will fly with crew=you, then [goto 1]

This might hurt your brain at first but after a wihle it's start to amke p. sense o7

Why does no-one die when they're shooting each other?
Why do the shots come from his shoulder rather than his gun?
Why does he have a developer console in an MMO?
Why do none of the walls or doors work?
Why does the ship look like an undecorated Doom 3 map?
Why does he steer with his rifle?
Why does he celebrate when his ship steers right into a rock?

Never mind the magical ammo, the incompetent cockpit design, and the regular set of bugs. None of this makes any sense.

Ok, maybe it wasn't a dev console, but what's the difference?
You generally want to keep that stuff out of players hands in these kinds of games. Sure, it's probably just the regular Cryengine console that they haven't disabled, but again, why?

guess we will see in a few days

I think you're the target of a psyop and they're feeding sources different info to root out the leak. Normally, I would think this is absolutely stupid if this was used out side of military uses; however, we are talking about RSI and I wouldn't put it past them to waste their time like this.

I think it's more subtle than that. I think that perhaps CIG know the trolls better than they know themselves.
Like using reverse psychology on a child, and knowing what to say (or not as the case may be) to trigger a desired response.

Yeah buddy, that's what's happening. CIG is manipulating Derek into lashing out because as we all know every game developer wants to have huge amounts of drama and controversy surrounding their project. :laffo:

Yes. It's buggy enough that people have used it to �prove� that planetary landings are already in the game by clipping through the racetrack walls with their ships and flying around in the surrounding planet environment.

It's decorated well enough that, at a distance, you can make it seem like you're flying over an actual planetary surface as long as you pick a good angle for the screen shot.

The strategy generally follows this pattern:

Sceptic: There's nothing to suggest that they'll ever be able to make planetary flight work.
Shill: Silly person! You can do that right now! Look here <flurry of images of a ship in atmo that can't be found on google>
Sceptic: �but that's not in the game.
Shill: Silly person! Yes it is! Here, have more <flurry of new images>
Sceptic: Riiiight� could you post a video of you flying from space down to that planet?
�
Sceptic: Hello?
Third party: Those are just images from the race map, where you've escaped the track.
Shill: Haha, you guys are sooo stupid and silly. You should have known that it's just from the race map where I've escaped from the track.
Third party: You mean, just like I said?
Shill: Haha, you guys know nothing about the game and shouldn't talk about it, you stup<banned>

Large events on twitch regularly have upwards of 100,000 viewers so I think you'll be fine with 1500. Although I'd be astonished if you could find that many goons who give a poo poo enough to turn up
