The superfluous walkways in the cargo section annoy me. They serve no purpose other than to look cool and provide another way to walk around. Maybe they serve as an alternate FPS path? But if so it seems like just going outside the ship would be equally logical. More importantly they take up space that could be used for larger items or pieces of cargo. Maybe they make more sense with other modules that have two levels?

But yeah, it's hilariously broken. Are there any large ships that are actually polished and done?

That's it exactly. Just like the layout for the Starfarer, it makes very little practical sense if you were designing the ship for function, but works fairly well as an FPS level. Looks like all the larger ships are in for the flying FPS arena treatment.

I know, but something about playing a multiplayer (especially MMO) game in singleplayer mode always felt weird to me. And yeah, I keep hearing mixed reports. A lot of people love it, but a lot of people hate it.

We get that a lot in Warframe, everything in that game is designed as a 4 player coop game (except spy mission lol) and then you get people complaining that they can't solo the content. To be fair a lot of the content can be soloed once you get to a sufficient power level but still it shouldn't be expected and you should only blame yourself if you insist on playing solo.

Yeah that's about it. SLI and Crossfire are for chumps with too much money to waste. I bet he's got RAID 0 SSDs too.

That's pretty dumb and wasteful imo. Better to RAID-1 those disks if you want redundancy, better to buy a newer, faster SSD if you've got a speed fetish.

In any case the perceived real-world performance doesn't differ very much between a good SSD and a very good SSD, you're much more likely to hit another bottleneck

The gun sights bug out, its a little laggy, and more importantly its literally impossible to kill the dude sniping (a one shot gun) and camping the flag you have to stand still at for ten+ seconds. People tried but could barely ding him.

Puzzled that this hasn't made it yet into the RSI forums, SC reddit or even the Evocati leaks reddit thingie.

They made it a rule to not post any evocati stuff after the last patch. If you violate the TOS to download and run an unauthorised offline version, then that footage is is ok to post...

I think they are going to revise the rule since they realised that people are discussing the leaks in a subreddit run by a goon, and can't control the message. It doesn't help that when people ask questions about the evocati, someone replies with a link to the leak subreddit.

It got rid of Marching Powder. Someone who's primary non- contribution to the thread was unironically whining about how people were not contributing to the thread. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was his "I'm not sexist, but..." post about another poster who has contributed a ton to the thread. He expected the thread to act as his personal army of performing monkeys, while suffering his occasional sexism and homo/transphobia.

He will be remembered by the single post where he contributed the most he could to the thread.


Truly the pinnacle of literary genius. He will be sorely missed. And by sorely missed I mean not at all, because he never loving contributed a thing other than one word reactions and meltdowns about how people were not entertaining him.

That's actually a good thing since it suggests they're thinking about gameplay. Which is why I assume it's something else.

I'd agree it's a good thing if you were designing a space FPS game, but as a space sim reallifealternativeworldinabox, the designs suck.

Don't forget his sarcastic reply of "puppet master" whenever anyone put him in his place.

Anyway, I eagerly await a video highlighting the undocumented features of Star Marine: GotY Every Year from the resident dancing cat with rage issues. ... Although I guess that would require it to be released.

Being lazy here but how do they go about making that a TV show? I mean I've seen the movie West World, and from what I remember it was basically just a theme park with robotic people, there's West World where you go to saloons and gun down a robot version of the dude from Magnificent Seven, and then there's Medieval World which is endless feasting and court stuff and Roman world which is just orgies. Then the whole thing just goes haywire and the robots lose their inhibitions and start murdering people, particularly the West World gunslinger who's kind of like the Terminator of the movie. The heroes have to run away from him and try to fix things or atleast stop the robots.

How is that a series?

I'm guessing it mostly just goes with the concept underlying the movie? A theme park with robot people you can murder or gently caress with no consequence? And isn't basically the movie's plot in serial form which was pretty much just the Terminator (before the Terminator) in the Wild West.

Just in time for the upcoming holiday sale, the chairman sent out another newsletter (this is the anniversary sale one) ahead of the upcoming holiday sale. It's not live on RSI yet, but start laughing. He actually wrote this:

"For those keeping track, we got Alpha 2.6 made the release window forecast from the Production Schedule Report"

Remember when I said they pushed 2.6 out on 11-30 in order to claim that it was "released"?
