Will CIG ever release that SQ42 demo they failed to deliver for CitCon that they made some dumb apology documentary video for? How long has it been now? Did they just give up and brush it under the rug?

What does your heart tell you?

In six months when people are going "Hey where the gently caress is that SQ42 demo you promised?" Chris is going to go on a 20 minute rambling tirade about how he knows one of his problems is being a perfectionist but damnit development changes all the time and now they're rolling it into such and such feature which should be out in six months and/or is already in the game.

Why release a demo of features than have already been refactored and replaced with BETTER FEATURES!

So since everybody is hell bent on the crappy FPS game, how is the actual space ship stuff since the update? Do the space ships fly like they have weight and mass and velocity, and turn based on the pretend placement of the magic thrusters? Or do they still turn like no clip characters in a zero gravity level?

It will have a 20 page design description of the page, detailing how your seat belt will help prevent you from taking g force damage and rag dolling around your cockpit. It will also explain how you can get preferred LTI with 720 logged hours of safety belt piloting. Spergs will think of great role play situations where they use it as restraints for molesting the pilot (we know why that is, too), and ultimately it will be awesome.

Chris will go into great detail on an ATV and explain how the belt can be adjusted to any setting thanks to new belt technology. Off camera we will hear an Asian guy having an orgasm, and MoMA won't post for the night. The next day or two he'll reappear and talk about how he had a great bottle of wine in casual leisure at the foot of his lit in-home swimming pool.

What it will be in game is a nothing. Maybe less than half the ships have a static belt modeled into the seat. It will be a mechanic that is never talked about again and backers will all say "well of course we knew it wasn't going to be logical. Chris was just guessing when he promised it in the next patch. Game development is hard you loving content locust."

They've been silently discounting the reality of the ships by continually mentioning that they're adjusting the "flight model" although not a single ship in the game is actually using flight physics. It is as you said, a noclip zero-grav, with the numbers continually tweaked to make it feel like flight without any actual flight physics calculations. Occasionally a developer will pipe up about adjusting "mass" then gently caress off for 3 months to write a script that kills you if you hit <<USE>> in an airlock while you're not wearing pants.

CIG can't simulate a vacuum in their space game. CIG is so incompetent they can't even develop "nothing" properly.

In most FPS games you can enter a console command (or hack the game) so your character no longer has collision detection or gravity effects, so you can freely fly them around a level and put them wherever you want, kind of like moving a camera around. Developers use it to place the player character in different places to test things like scripts etc. without having to play through the entire level.

Star Citizen is ahead of the curve in this regard because you can noclip through most walls and doors without having to type any commands.

This. Basically like being in a map editor where you can move anywhere in the map to best design it. It's basically like being a zero gravity character.

They should focus on fixing this. :3:

It really looks corny and cheap and amateur when they have these very pretty ships, and then it turns around an axis at center mass like some kind of Minecraft abomination.
