Sandweed posted:But imagine in a fight one of the thrusters get damaged and you will lose maneuverability until you fix it! Star Citizen: MAXIMUM FIDELITY Unverifiable Anecdote Time: At one point in development, CIG was taking the thrust levels and X/Y angles of every maneuvering nipple on every ship, and sending that data over the network to every game client, and then letting each game client calculate how those values would result in movement for each ship. When I asked one of their CIG's QA guys "why not just send data on where the ship is, which way it's facing, and where is gonna be in the next tenth of a second?", he admitted that they switched to that method after realizing that Chris's preferred MAXIMUM FIDELITY method was just gobbling bandwidth. Chris is obsessed with constantly increasing fidelity and immersion until the FPS and network performance craters, but then he never bothers dialing it back down to some sort of vaguely reasonable level. He thinks it's gonna be fine once they get to the "optimization" phase, which is the magical four week period right before launch where the same constipated game engine that can't squeeze out a stable 10 FPS will somehow, magically, poo poo out 60 FPS at max settings.  CIG should ditch their entire progress up until now, and let their staff slap together Star Citizen as an Unreal Engine mod. Should only take 6 months (or even sooner if they Archer other people's existing UE4 assets). Or just buy some bulk licenses for Infinity: Battlescape, redirect the SC launcher to that EXE, and then flee with the last of the money before the spergs notice that the fun, stable space game they're playing doesn't include a loving noodle vending machine this time.

Sabreseven posted:Whats to stop them "buying" a metric gently caress ton of their own product and then instantly refunding themselves via randomly generated accounts? You know how like 1/10,000 people who play Candy Crush pump hundreds/thousands of dollars into it? That is the origin of the term “whale.” Star Citizen fans are 100% made up of that 1/10,000 demographic. They are stupid, ignorant, impulsive, and addicted. Try to talk some sense into them and they’ll do loving backflips to rationalize their stupidity. Insult their addiction and they will immediately attack you by parroting their myriad of pre-written brutal takedowns. As many have said before, the only thing of value CIG has ever produced is their user data.

Posting from back to the future. Sage words indeed.

FailureToReport posted:Heyyy, I know I've seen some people talking about the funding comparisons for Elite and Star Citizen, in terms of what Elite cost plus their studio size versus SC. Does anyone have that info with sources handy? IIRC David Braben said that on top of the £1.5 million ($2.1 US), that invested £9 million ($12 million US) of their own capital (some raised by floating the company on the stock market). That was for the initial release. Further expansions have been funded by sales of the game and also the cosmetic stuff on the store.

Tokamak posted:There was a pretty big campaign by the theorycrafters to shame people into voting for an entry level profession ship. It makes sense to get the small, necessary ship made first. They also know that the game is still years away from handling the carrier, and that Chris is going to make it anyway because he can't say no to money. I'd agree with you, but CIG have proven time and again that size has nothing to do with their timeline really. In fact, I'd argue that the ships with the least utility get done first, so probably they won't see their dumb little salvage ship (or whatever it was) until after the heat death of the universe anyway.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman takes a pretty decent stab at what interstellar war looks like from an individual soldier's perspective, with the implications of relativistic time dilation. The thing is, space is so big that even if you invent FTL travel, the amount of time it takes to go anywhere outside the immediate neighborhood is long enough that by the time you engage in battle, the people you were fighting for are dead of old age.

The Forever War is great, and also probably the worst possible book to base your spacemans videogame off of, since all 'naval' combat is run by computer lol
