Hey quick question because I'm stupid and I'm confused.

Can anyone like... play Star Marine like right now? I mean other than CIG devs or something. If you're some sort of special tester that signed a No Diggity Agreement, could you literally play Star Marine

I don't know... but my gut tells me a very strong "maybe"!

You can take that to the bank of Almost Always and cash it!

Also, I'd have to assume that Star Marine is in the game because it is probably the easiest thing for them to make as a stand alone module/game. It's an arena shooter after all, and they have 300 or so employees. It should be mostly easy for them to make. :)

Really though, building an FPS arena shooter in an FPS arena shooter engine that has tools out of the box to make a multiplayer arena shooter game is not like the second coming.

If it's in... good job at making it finally? Should have been years ago (probably even the first thing since it's the easiest and has the most support and tutorials for things).

If it's not in... it's probably coming soon. I can't imagine they'd let it become another crutch, because it's a no brainer to have out.

If anything, by the end of Star Citizen the FPS portion should be the most highly detailed and advanced, simply because it's an FPS game in an FPS engine, with more tutorials on how to do things FPS related than CIG has dollars. Though it may be getting close! :)

So you're merely reporting heresay as prima facie? You don't get why this is ironic?

The difference is what I reported in terms of a patch drop, etc. actually came true. I'm waiting to hear from Derek's FL Attorney General for "investigations."

Looking forward to this feature.

I want to be in the hood of a space ship in a box during a massive firefight, playing a game of a guy having a massive firefight in the hood of a ship on my mobiglass [???]. There will be a box in my virtual fight and I will open the box and inside the box will be another virtual me. I will shoot virtual me and then my virtual character will stop because I killed myself in the Star Citizen world.

The real me will look away from the monitor, sweaty, out a window to see another me looking inside the window and there will be lightning and then the other me will be gone. In its place will be a Tesla, with Derek Smart looking in and holding out his hand as he says "Welcome to Star Citizen."

I enjoyed this.

I think there's a pretty big difference between having some pak files for SM in the game and it actually being playable tho

like there's a ton of stuff you can datamine that's not in the game right now, but I don't think anyone considers that "in"

star marine was going to come out at some point, but months ago peeps were saying it wouldn't hit the pu until early next year

as of right now, a full pu 2.6 release won't hit until early 2017, which means a full pu 3.0/beta release q3/q4 next year/early 2018

at that point this game or beta or alpha or early access or whatever will have been in development seven years

Corvettes, frigates, etc why the emphasis on using outdated (c.2946) naval ship terminology? Oh right, the creative bankruptcy.

But really, after a point all these military spacecraft are just spacey spaceships. The class system doesn't exist so CIGs classing is arbitrary. More importantly the game dynamics don't exist for all the different specialized "roles" they talk about.

The vision was broken from the beginning. They were never going to be able to make a good game. The capabilities of the game they wanted to make are impressive, too bad they don't have the talent/the technology simply doesn't exist.

Dont bother. Its a fight on wether SM is in 2.6 or not. Both argue on the definition of the term "in the build". MoMa argue its "in" since you can find *.pak file referencing it in the build while D_smart argue "it is not" since there are no details leaked from the Avocados and having assets in the files and using them in a playable manner are different thing. Everyone secret sources give conflicted answers.

Star Marine is the defining aspect of 2.6.

Example: http://imperialnews.network/2016/10/starmarine/


There's amazing mental gymnastics from some posters on the F:D Star Citizen Thread that its plausible a developer might not know if Star Marine is in 2.6 or not. I just can't see it. I'm sure its big news in the company. They've also tried to shift the narrative from "Star Marine is not in 2.6" as meaning its not accessible or playable to "Derek said Star Marine does not exist but it does, you've just got to hack the game and you can run around the levels." Its some kind of crazy to even call that Star Marine without multiplayer interaction using server and network code.

If Star Marine turns up in a later build I'd call that out as being 2.7 as its a significant update.

CIGs game development is so open not even their own devs know what they just released to the backers.
