Note also that "AI" here mostly just means "path finding".

The more 3rd party stuff CIG can use the better for their game. I don't think Chris Roberts can attract the kind of talent necessary to build AI from the ground up. Pathfinding is a bitch, in and of itself.

I think outside of artwork, CIG has landed squarely in the "please save us, third party apps and intelligent user content posted on forums".

I emailed right back with my paypal account info and within a few hours they had responded back.

Hello Othin,
Thank you for your patience while I took care of that for you, I have processed a refund of $271.00 USD back to your PayPal account. We submit manual refunds 1-2 times per week, so please be patient with us while we issue those.
Thanks for your past support of our game.
Best Wishes,

As of two hours ago the money was already in my paypal account. 10/10 would refund again.

I'd still ask about it though, since it's not listed as what the $25 is

Good find, friend.

Hopefully cig has people smart enough to implement this stuff, or they can find the forums where people who already did it posted a solution.

"Brainchild of Wing Commander legend Chris Roberts, Star Citizen features an open-world, multi-player persistent universe alongside a challenging single-player space combat campaign."

If you haven't used a VR headset I can understand the confusion.


Thanks for the explanation.
When I got my new S7 I had the option of a free VR headset or a S2 Watch. I went with the watch and I am not regretting it one bit.

Jesus christ, i only just realized the Star Citizen VR guy didn't even get head tracking to work.
So he was literally staring at a virtual 2D screen.

It's *exactly* the same experience he'd have if he plugged a TV into his computer and played SC on that, except at a shittier resolution and with an even lower framerate.

And he could have gotten a big rear end TV and sit in front of it for a better experience for less money than one of them Occulas(sp?) sets.

Then yes, it exists.

Oh no, i have no beef with them using Kythera.
It's just that i find it funny they keep banging the drum for "subsumption" and other nonsense, while they still use 3rd party AI middleware *and they're not even using it to its full potential*. That's a bit like having a car parked in your garage and just sitting in it to listen to the radio once in a while, while claiming you're working on building a new supercar.

Yeah, that was precisely the point.
It's worse than actually sitting in front of a TV. Doesn't even have to be a big rear end TV.

If they keep the pattern that should be it. Drop a half baked module to build up pledges, leave it as it is once it has served its purpose of allowing crobizzle to mocap more of his dream picture. The pattern started with the hangar module and kept on going trough the "social module", then Arena commander. and now Starmarine.

Giving money to CIG is like giving money to a pee-wee team and hoping that with enough time and care they will win the world series as they get older.
