So will the entire surface of the moons be constantly in "day"-light?
Doesn't that conflict with fidelicious basic physics?

One side will be lit by the sun, the other by reflected light off the planet. Easy peasy.

A good and interesting post.

I can see why the PU is an over-ambitious and doomed exercise but this post prompts the thought "why are CIG having such trouble in producing separate modules that you load into (like Arena Commander or some planetary zone hidden behind a loading screen) or a standalone single player FPS (SQ42)?" These should be well-trodden exercises which dozens of games and mods have previously done in some form or another. The alarming thing for CIG's defenders is that even these seem well beyond its technical and management capabilities.

With zero planetary mechanics in this space "sim" isn't everything everything-locked?

...that and it also feels a bit too much like blaming the victim of a con artist for being ripped off, but nonetheless the Pathfinder Online section of the Paizo forums was, and perhaps still is, home to some of the dumbest motherfuckers around until Chris Roberts came along and said "hold my beer."

It blows me away that their website has no disclosure of the change in scope and still has misleading statements about 100 systems at launch. Well actually it doesn't because I've seen this farce long enough to completely expect it, but if I was used to sane video games it would blow me away.

Hello friends.

I truly hope everyone is doing well, physically, mentally, and in all other ways. Hope the same for the misguided backers and the overworked employees of CIG. Life's too short to spend it miserable, furious, or otherwise dispirited.

For those who wondered, I'm still alive. Had some health issues a year back. Took a break from a lot of things, including from posting in this often wonderful and informative thread. Glad to see its gentled up some from when I left.

Anyway, awkward member re-insertion banter aside, here is a new infographic about 3.0, for those of you who like those sort of things.



I'm aiming for fairness, so please post suggested corrections if it seems biased.

Ages behind but hello dude, I missed your seminal posting.

Sorry to hear about your health, but glad you're feeling better :)

Speaking of which, Gorf's chart debut made me think about my article from Nov 2, 2016 in which I cited sources who had said that Croberts was lying his rear end off at GamesCom and that 3.0 DID NOT EXIST. Almost a YEAR later, now we know, don't we.

Starcitizen thread, this train wreck has gone on long enough. Should we enact Operation Bluecheese Dip and finally crush CiG with legal chip deliciousness?

Inquiring minds (me) must know if they (also me) must brave the rainfall.

Those rear end-clowns lie a lot. Like all the time. So I would take that with a huge pinch of salt

You could be right, and that made me think about something from a thread or two ago about backers.

Is there still this amazing... ummmm.... trying to think of the word/s...

Expense contest?

Where back in the day spending a lot was rewarded by CIG somehow, like how they made that exclusive club and the bouncer drama and such. Are they still doing things like this and promising more crazy rewards, in game or otherwise? This aspect of CIG has sort of taken a back seat to their endless failures, but it was one of the hardening points of what made their whole funding campaign so nasty and dirty.

Are backers still trying to one up each other by how much they spend? Do other backers look up to these big spenders? I know since we've shed some light on the whole "whale syndrome" it's not really been spoken about, so I'm unsure if CIG is still employing whale hunting tactics on a personal level to these people.
