Q
Star Marine. Will we have AI combat modes similar to the Vanduul Swarm?

Erin Roberts
Eh, we certainly will, but it won't be part of the first iteration. The first iteration is basically the balancing, basically what we're working on is all towards PLAYER vs PLAYER, so we're REFINING um... you know the ANIMATION SETS... you know um... and... you know... the... the COMBAT MOVES when... you know, the way... and... it's sort of uh... sort of first... person straight first person... um, you can... you can basically you know... use COVER and all those kinda stuff and... and so forth, THROW GRENADES, the works, you know, it's that kind of level so that's what we're... that's what we're PLANNING to get players into the game and then THAT'S what will come out with 2.6 but then shortly after that, then... when... when the... when the AI come online... the AI basically will be in the game, PROPERLY, first... first... the first... the first you'll see of that will be in 3.0

Well actually... you'll probably... see some in SQUADRON as well... but basically that... when the first sort of um... um... version were people will PLAY will be in 3.0 so THAT will be a time when we'll actually probably have a MODE, where you can go and actually find some of your buddies and actually fight AI, and have that sort of like LEVEL of going in and you know trying to take stuff out and eh uh ah


Chris answer about Star Marine from JAN 25th 2016

quote:

so you know 2.2 has... COVER and... some other things in it, and uh, will obviously have future, you know, there's things like VAULTING and uh, you know SLIDING and uh, different kinds of... STANCES that we have and theres... a lot more WEAPONS that we have... and they're all getting rolled out and we're HONING it and you guys are gonna be playing it in 2.2 and 2.3 and 2.4, and... then, uh, when we've got that basic set, we... together we will sort of... turn on the MAP for Star Marine...


TLDR;
Chris said they were HONING the Star Marine animations in January, Erin says they are REFINING the Star Marine animations in October.

Anyone know what comes after HONING and REFINING?

Tony Z on networking
There's a number of different solutions we've got in mind for how to deal with this stuff. Another thing to point out is... so there are TWO major things going on with the networking;

- one right now is the whole MACRO networking model that's gonna allow all the players to seamlessly exist with one another

- the other one is the LOW LEVEL networking rewrite that's going to give us a performance boost and make for a much more efficient code base versus what we got when we inherited the engine, THAT'S what we're expecting to release, the LOW LEVEL rewrite is what we're aiming to release with 3.0

The UNIFIED networking model is something that's gonna happen POST that, we don't have, you know, a specific date in mind... we will aim to do a test of that system at some point next year... testing the CONCEPTS of what we're talking about here



Chris said they were already working on this on February 29th 2016

TLDR;
Tony Z says they are planning on testing the CONCEPT of a unified networking tech, banding servers together to create a shard sometime next year

Chris Roberts told everyone they were already working on this in Feb 2016, 8 months ago

@7.00
Q:
In the slide specifically from 3.0 to 4.0, there was no mention of ships docking together. When will we be able to launch our snub craft from larger ships? When will we be able to transfer fuel or cargo between larger ships?

Chris Roberts
Ah, so ahh... NOT in 2.6 but we are, uhm, aiming to get that functionality in between 3.0 and 3.1 so ah, refuelling is definitely... especially when you... when we move to 3.0 and we're in a full Stanton system, you know people are gonna travel and maybe run out of fuel, perhaps they're gonna have to get... REFUELLED and we really wanna get the docking of say the MERLIN into the CONSTELLATION done... so we've been working on sort of DOCKING with a bigger ship which is what we need for the SQUADRON 42 stuff when you come in and land, say on the IDRIS, so it FALLS out of that, so depending on where that ends up will depend on whether it's in 3.0 or 3.1



EXACT SAME question was answered in 10FTC March 7th 2016


10 for the Chairman: Episode 78 Mar 7, 2016


Q: We already have a flyable Constellation and a flyable P-52 Merlin. How far are we from a workable tech for docking and undocking? Is this something we can expect in the near future or is this a functionality planned further down the line?

A: Yeah ah you know I really wanna actually get the fifty... P52 and the Constellation, ah, to WORK together cos they're, they're MEANT to... to... work together, it is probably something we will ah, start to work on with ah, Craig after... Craig Gransell who's done the sort of landing system, he's still got some... landing system stuff that he's wrapping up for Squadron FORTY TWO and some... enhancements for Star Citizen and that, this will probably be the next... TASK to get this working it's not THAT difficult, I mean basically you just kinda
wanna get... it's just like the landing system really you get in a certain area and then you say Ok... DOCK and then we'll just sorta bring you in and CONNECT you and the Merlin will be attached to the Constellation and then, hopefully you can get out and you should just be able to enter into the... back of the Constellation so ah, I do wanna (incoherent mumble) cos it's ah, NOT... that difficult technically to get working it's really just people have had a whole bunch of other things they're working on first, ah for instance you know we... ah... you know... HAVEN'T SHOWN IT YET, but you know we have an IDRIS FLYING AROUND and you can land inside it and take off inside it and, em, walk around it and it's pretty cool so um, ah, that was sort of the higher priority and we've still got some stuff to do on the bigger ships in terms of ah....


TLDR;
- According to Chris they were wrapping up the docking tech for Squadron 42 and had an Idris flying around that you could land on in MARCH

- It's now OCTOBER and Chris is saying they are still working on the docking and landing for Squadron 42 and the same tech for the PU will fall out of that when they get it done.

Didn't INN just say that SQ42 was 100% playable right now? How is that possible if they don't even have docking finished?

NDAs exist because of trolls. Also, us goons prevent open development. I hope you're all happy with yourselves.


I've seen this before, and I can only imagine it from the outside perspective of someone close to him. Does he live with his parents, and they have to somehow accept their child is doing this? Is he married, and his wife has to come to terms with her husband throwing money at a spaceship game? Even if he lives alone, do his friends come over and be like, "Oh, yeah, man, great...spaceship room. Yeah, for sure, that game sounds amazing."

I really have a lot difficultly when I hear of shitizens' relations with wives. Like the guy who's in for $2,500 and dragged his wife to Citizencon. The fiance who spent half the wedding fund on jpegs. The guy whose wife got him an Aegis shirt and then he watched the Citizencon stream for his birthday. How loving embarrassing. I can only imagine the idle thoughts floating through the minds of their partners. "It's only a game, he's great otherwise." "It's just temporary, he'll get that promotion and forget about it in a year." "He'll snap out of it after our child is born." What on Earth do they say to their friends when they have some alone time for girl talk? Do they even dare to bring it up? It really makes me shudder.

I can't even fathom what Clifford "Miku"'s wife thinks. Unless he's comfortably worth well into the multi-millions, his Star Citizen fixation has easily made a substantial impact on his family's finances.

I just try to imagine myself in their shoes. Do they feel regret? Are they confused? Are they in denial, hoping it's just a passing phase?

I can't be the only one who feels absolutely unbearable discomfort when I imagine what the shitizens' close friends and family feel like.

He's the Sad Little Engine whose motto is "I know I can't, I know I can't." His shirt reminding everyone who looks upon it to twitch is staggeringly redundant. He is the 'before' picture of a penis pump advert. It's like Hans Moleman hosed Ralf Wiggum. Not the offspring or amalgam of such a union, mind; he's just as awful as the concept of Hans Moleman loving Ralf Wiggum.
