2.6 is awesome! played it last night for a few hours and it is awesome. The amount of content and progress is stunning! I can really see how this game is now coming together. This alone is one heck of a proof to the community that the game is healthy and on course for delivery! Thanks again for making such an awesome game!

Catching up. I'd like to congratulate CIG on finally releasing an arena shooter that requires restarting the executable between matches in a FPS engine. And making it available to 10$ month subscribers first.

Great job everyone.

Man, somehow watching those star marine videos brought me back to Quake2 multiplayer. Back in those days we didn't have to restart our PCs after each fight. Imagine that.

It reminds me of really old school multiplayer FPS combat because there are no tactics. It all ends up with with people squaring off face to face and dumping as many shots into as each other as their mouse hand reflexes allow. Even the combat in their prerecorded attack on the caterpillar involved a bunch of guys standing in the middle of a room wiggling back and forth.

WTFosaurus kept dying every 10 seconds after respawn because somebody would pop up and surprise him with unloading a magazine of bullets.

Now imagine you trekked out to a distant location, got wrecked in 3 seconds, then your inheritance went to another character, who had to jump into another ship, travel out to wherever you were trying to go, and just got annihilated in seconds again.

Death of a space man, indeed.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the song called "ewe2 - Right" stored on the tindeck account ewe2 and posted here by forums user ewe2 probably isn't PGabz.

Its true. They did release 2.6 to PTU. You got us.

Regarding LTI, and actually, the whole ships-for-sale thing: what a loving racket. Listening to the dude on that stream talking about how insurance only covers the hull, and you need separate weapons insurance to cover any add-ons. It's a loving video game! The idea that you could lose something forever that you paid for, and have to pay again to replace it, is just exploitative and unnecessary. What if your base ship is blown up and you just have your human? Do you have to buy in with real money to get a new ship?*

My beef isn't with the backers, it's with the money-grubbing fucks who run the show. Don't give them any more money. In fact, take the money back that you've already given them. Yesterday showed you they don't deserve it, and no matter how disposable that income is for you, you worked too hard to give it to these people to waste. gently caress 'em.

Someone show MoMA his score card yet?

MoMA predictions:

ManofManyAliases posted:

1, They're still a couple big blockers that are not ready for prime-time. There's some sort of new system in place that checks obstructions in real-time and relays that to the radar. However, this is a glitch that is bogging-down some clients. I don't expect a live release (or PTU) tomorrow.
2. Ship sale with a possible new concept.
3. Clip from SQ42 demo that was previously unseen.
4. Jared WILL be there.
5. Some technical speak involving the new coding (such as obstruction/radar link) and new flight models that will be released with 2.6

MoMA prediction scores:

  1. not a valid prediction. we already knew this
  2. not a valid prediction. this was a given
  3. fail
  4. not a valid prediction. this was a given
  5. fail

dsmart prediction:

D_Smart posted:

  1. croberts will recite, then write a cringe-worthy missive asking for money, making excuses, making new promises for 2017
  2. 2.6 will be delayed; and if they are smart, pushed into 2017. the schedule will be updated to reflect this
  3. they will play 2.6 Star Marine on local LAN because doing it across the internet - the environment it was designed for - is shite
  4. no meaningful SQ42 reveal - of any kind
  5. no meaningful 3.0 reveal - of any kind

BOMBSHELL BONUS: They won't mention anything about i) no money to finish the game ii) on-going Federal investigations, iii) the fact that quite a few key team members have either recently left or have put in their notice (Dec being their exit month) to leave, iv) they are going to be down-sizing the studios in 2017

ps:

As of Dec 16th, with 2.6 still MIA and 3.0 still a pipe dream, these are the major releases this year since 2.0

v2.0 (patch notes), Dec 12, 2015
v2.1.0, Jan 15, 2016
v2.2.0, March 4, 2016
v2.3.0, March 26, 2016
v2.4.0, June 9, 2016
v2.5.0, Aug 25, 2016

And during this period, these are ALL the Star Marine updates. Yet, here we are, over a year later, and they still can't get it working.

AUGUST 22ND 2015
AUGUST 29TH 2015
SEPTEMBER 19TH 2015
OCTOBER 23RD 2015

  2. 2.6 will be delayed; and if they are smart, pushed into 2017. the schedule will be updated to reflect this CALLED IT!
  3. they will play 2.6 Star Marine on local LAN because doing it across the internet - the environment it was designed for - is shite it was 8v8 (the max before CE3 falls over) over the Internet. so much for 12v12
