I am stuck with the idea that SC is just a pretty showcase mod done by a few indie enthusiasts without any hope of it ever getting anywhere near the shape and scope all those idiots have in their minds.

In this particular case joy comes after anger for me: please everyone keep pouring money over Chris and his merry band for years to come! He deserves it, you deserve it, we deserve it!

Just had a thought on Discord this morning. That giant footprint that appears when you shoot the railgun at the ground; the decal itself might be an error, but what I found odd was just how big it was. Then it struck me: Wasn't there a theory that in order to make planets on SC, everything on Cryengine was scaled-down from a normal map size? If so, maybe the footprint isn't big, they just forgot to downscale it?

Any thoughts?

So many chunks of gameplay, completely different than the gently caress around gameplay we had in 2.5 or 2.6! Now you have persistence! Not log in persistence, just ship lost because of insert stupid reason like logging out, landing on a pad didn't "return" it, etc etc.

But the gameplay is incredible now at 15fps! People are blown away after the step up from 10fps!

Come out with your pants down!

That shill page is way behind. I've already moved past Star Citizen, because I dreamed up this VR open world fantasy game that literally makes you think you are in the game via neural connectors. You literally just wear a headband with a chip in it that takes over your brain remotely. This new technology eliminates the need for stupid real world troubles like controllers, enough space to move around and hardware issues. Your BRAIN is the computer!

As you can already tell, this is all very groundbreaking.

Funding the game will, aside from the feeling of satisfaction that you helped create the Best drat Everyone Will Just Bang Medieval Prostitutes Non Stop Simulation EVER, grant you access to exclusive backer content. Magical weapons, armor and mounts. Houses, mansions and castles. Want to be the king of your own realm? Sure, what the gently caress. I mean, theoretically everyone could just buy that package, but we'll figure out the logistics later because there's literally nothing we can't do if you just believe and send your money.

For our most dedicated backers, we also offer lifetime insurance against the plague, because that poo poo will just kill you. Really. In real life. Fidelity, bitch.

EDIT: Has anyone here ever opened a bank account on the Cayman Islands? I've googled around but I can't figure out how to go about it. Is there a phone number or something? Asking for a friend or family member

EDIT2: Oh right, if you have any questions about the actual technology, just know that there's a deal with Amazon in the pipeline and that I will not adress any concerns as soon as possible

You know you're in the presence of a piece of outstanding Star Citizen marketing, when you find yourself taking a screengrab of it, just in case it disappears.



Really far behind after my feverish weekend, but are they saying the criminals are using the JPEG in their tweet to threaten those who we love? Does that mean I should "Take back the community" by reporting the tweet as breaking the Twitter TOS?

Isn't doujin kind of similar to fan fiction and such? Given that Chris seems intent on mostly developing Star Wars fan fiction, this checks out.

It was also doing all of the weird flickering and ghost-image poo poo that it used to do in 2015 before I remembered that Star Citizen doesn't support SLI, and turned it off. So that hasn't been fixed in the last two years either.

Star Citizen doesn't even support proper gameplay yet, so I think expecting SLI to work might be a stretch

As a flight sim fan, I think the thing that stands out to me most about SC fans is how they think -noclip is some kind of amazing simulation.

Has there ever been an article about common red flags one should look for in crowdfunding to avoid scams?

Because there really should be one, there's years of crowdfunding project experience to draw from, and SC is such a rich source of material for it.

If there's no such thing, it's perhaps because it would paint such a clear picture of Star Citizen, that it would be liable to a lawsuit or something, and it would also have the common problem the "press" has when criticizing an game that is technically in-development (and in "pre-alpha" no less). Although, that right there should be on the top of the red flags list.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but I read this a while back (when I was still a backer) and it was one of a few things that really started me on my slope of giving up on CIG and the SC Community.






The last bullet point was one that really stood out to me, because you see that thrown out in the SC subreddit religiously. If someone starts up a thread that doesn't immediately get killed in it's crib, it eventually gets loaded with "you should take a healthy break and come back later".

This is a big part of how people get caught up in it honestly, I've seen so many people come across my channel with this grand fully worked out scenarios they 100% expect to be in game based off a tiny snippet that Chris or someone else at CIG says about a mechanic they would like to one day make.

I kept trying to think of a term to use for these players because Carebear isn't really what I want to call them, but there are thousands and thousands of backers who imagine they are going to call up their entire purchased "fleet" and roll out into the universe and have these super loving complex gameplay experiences that are more in depth than anything even remotely feasible.
