This is what happens when you tie your physics engine to your framerate.

So here is my 10 for the chairman questions. I'd like to say that this is probably going to be the last 10 for the chairman that you get from me for a while because I'm getting on a plane. This is... we're shooting this on Friday for Monday airing but I'm actually flying on Monday to the UK where I'm going to be working hard on the performance capture sessions for squadron 42 which is very cool. Hannis and myself are going to be working with all the actors and setting up all the scenes for squadron 42. We've got some... we're gonna have a pretty awesome cast. We're not going to share it yet it's going to be something that we'll reveal closer to the day but I think you guys will be both impressed and happy. Stories for Squadron 42 is shaping up really well. I think we haven't shared in detail, later on we were... we will share it but essentially you know we've got a really big sort of story arc so we're going to split it into a trilogy, so you know Wing Commander one, two, three, that kind of thing.

So episode one is what people will play this year and that's the one that has seven... the equivalent of 70 Wing Commander style missions and it's formulated a little differently than say the old Wing Commander because the Wing Commander it was like you flew a space mission and then you're aboard the ship and had some conversation, you flew another space mission. Whereas in squadron 42 you can fly a space mission and then land, get out, get into a firefight with some pirates then chase another pirate, he gets into a ship and takes off, you get into a ship and chase him, so you know in the old sort of Wing Commander format that's actually three missions but it's all sort of one fluid thing that happens. There'll be three sort of checkpoints so to speak of in squadron 42 for those kind of things, but it would sort of all be one overall mission.

So we're sort of thinking it's like 20, I think it's 21 chapters or so, and each chapter sort of is a segment of missions that's sort of a kind of fluid, so they sort of do this and then maybe you'll stop and be talking around and dealing with people and get into some action and then it sort of goes on like that.

So it's the equivalent of about 70 missions Wing Commander style. I think we think is about 20 hours of gameplay. It's pretty drat cool like I said, we're gonna have some we have an awesome cast and then you'll be spending time with them for the next.

So episode 2 is behind enemy lines which I think everyone that backed until like six million gets for free, and then episode three would be the year after that. So we're sort of thinking that we'll have each one of these each one of them is the equivalent of a huge triple A, you know Call of Duty or better because I mean we've got a much bigger campaign and it's cool and

So anyway I'm starting there. I'm going to shoot that. We're working you know really hard the UK guys heads down and we've got a whole bunch of other people in the German offices helping a lot on squadron 42 and other areas of... So Illfonic a lot of the FPS mechanics will go into squadron 42 stuff that we're doing for space here in L.A. is going into it and you know some of the you know animation and other aspects are also happening in austin for squadron 42.

So it's gonna be pretty cool but I'm going to be in the UK for the next almost three months. So basically we're starting shooting a couple of weeks from now but I've got to do prep also spend time with foundry 42 and then we'll shoot all the way through to about the end of June and will also be also doing some more motion capture and stuff like that and so but it's going to be fun. I'm really excited it's going to be you know cinematic great lots of movement so everyone that's a Wing Commander fan and wants the next generation Wing Commander I think is going to be very very happy with squadron 42 and what you'll get to play this year and then you'll have stuff to look forward to the next few years while we're busily finishing out the game which is you know something that we're going to be doing next year in terms of the persistent universe and all the rest of stuff.

So I think the idea is really just to sort of keep on building the universe and the world and also be releasing narrative stories for you to play and eventually we'll also be doing ones that aren't so, sort of, military focused like squadron 42. Maybe a sort of more kind of rogue Han Solo style story and stuff like that. This one's a pretty awesome, it's a pretty, pretty big storyline. Don't want to get into too much details but it's sort of the overall story arc was what the writer from sci-fi was referring to, who shouldn't have actually written down the article because I told her not to, but she seemed to forget that part but anyway. It's the overall arc of... That's why there's Behind Enemy Lines, it's the second episode. Anyway, enough of that, on to the questions.

And they wonder if you have to use the bathroom as a game mechanic.

Poll: Should Star Citizen have toilet paper or the three shells?

THIS IS IMPORTANT!

Um, it's the far future, so obviously their fancy space toilets should have built in bidet and blow dry. As an added benefit this removes the need for any additional animations.

LOL if you think Chris isn't opening a mocap studio right now dedicated to wiping animations

All bowel movements must simulated with extra wiping needed if you overdid it last space night on the Hairy Roberts

3.0 can't launch without full making GBS threads fidelity

So I was bored and wanted to see how easily I could make an accurate Croberts transcription from Youtube's auto-caption system.

Here's Chris detailing the state of SQ42 just before leaving for the Imaginarium mocap shoot, 2 years 4 months and 28 days ago.
70 SQ42 missions coming in 2015!

Nah I think Crobbler is just completely detached from his project. He doesn't play the game, that much has been clear since he bitched about the chat interface on a live stream. And from leaks it looks like he's unapproachable and surrounds himself with yes-men. Only time he looked engaged at all was when he was filming all that MoCrap

Someone please suggest SmellOIP on their forums. It's a USB addon that is shaped like a nose and it translates your BO into the game. Maybe he'll go for it.

Sabreseven posted:

Did they miss that 1.0 is usually a retail release candidate? Or that CIG's version numbering is nothing like what all other dev houses use?

3.0 should actually be 0.3.0a if it were done in the widely accepted version numbering system that all others use. (I don't know how DS numbers his, but I'm assuming he's not using anything quite as retarded as CIG's numbering)

Ursine Catastrophe posted:

But you see, if they didn't number it that way then "Elite 2.0" would look way better than "Star Citizen 0.2" on paper, ergo


e: Elite's working on 2.4 while Star Citizen's working on 3.0, who's winning now bitches

double e: also chris is on record talking about how "people already have star citizen" so it's pretty apparent that in his own mind, when it's convenient, those version numbers are legit. it's only a "(pre) alpha" when he needs to tone down expectations after a failed presentation or patch

I had to look it up and... from dictionary.com:

Meteoric

adjective
1.
of, relating to, or consisting of meteors.
2.
resembling a meteor in transient brilliance, suddenness of appearance, swiftness, etc.:
his meteoric rise in politics.
3.
of or coming from the atmosphere; meteorological.

Holy poo poo, there must be a million things that travel quickly that could be used to describe something rising, so why pick something that inevitably crashes violently into the ground? It makes no sense! I'm not a native english speaker, so I don't know if I ever heard this stupid loving expression before, but I know that I finally found my own little hill to die on.
