I see that already the 01/01/2018 someone linked star citizen and law. I'd like to remember to all of you that I was the first to totally loving call it. I may or may not make others exclusive big calls on the next two weeks, stay tuned and get a refund.

Someone in the thread doesn't have a song in their hearts or a spring in their step. So he can't appear.

honourable mention to mjotto who got it but didn't translate (plaudite translates as applause, the traditional exhortation to Roman Audiences at the end of a play) and Ponzi who translated it as "Drama" but, my understanding is that it translates more directly to "play" hence... uncle Derek wins the internet points. lol.

I let Derek win, since he has been losing on all fronts basically the whole of 2017. And I'm hoping for a free LOD key in return. After he's back from Disneyworld of course.

I do wonder why the dude decided now was the best time to swing in to the defense of Star Citizen. At a time when it's janky as hell and they're selling land and tanks it seems weird to go so hard to attack the detractors when there's no real traction to it, I feel like that spaceship of opportunity spiraled off into space many iterations ago. Now everyone just puts their head down and prays CIG accidentally do something right, but this guy comes out swinging (mostly hitting himself in the face, apparently).

In the unlikely event that this reaches you, Chris, please put someone competent in charge to make the game and volunteer yourself for some psychology study so they can get to the bottom of this whole wavy hands nonsense you keep doing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3afuzc/genesis_starliner_price_announced_400/

Director of Spaceships:
"Every concept sale involves thousands of hours of design and art development. The Starliner, for instance, has been in development for eight months. The culmination of that is some very pretty pictures� but the process to get there is significant.

Launching it next week means we�ve worked out a complete system for passenger transportation in the persistent universe and we�ve tested and checked hundreds of different things� BEFORE the art revision process. For instance: can we have forty NPCs on a ship at once? How do you interact with them? Is there enough gameplay to make flying a ship like this fun? Is there enough variety to make missions involving it interesting? How do you abandon ship with so many people? How long is a trip in space? Do you need individual rooms, or seats like an airliner? Settling on rooms, how are they set up? What do you need to keep NPCs alive for that long built into the ship? What can a player who uses one access at any time? What kind of resources will it need when it goes into production? Where does it store cargo? What kind of cargo is it limited to? How does it land? What does a spaceport look like, and can we build one for it? What does the crew look like? Who in our corporation matrix would operate these? How customizable do the interiors need to be? The exteriors? What damage states will we have to build? How does it compare to similar role ships? And so on and so on� and that�s before we get to the marketing part: is it reasonable to sell this ship? Will players want to use it, or should it be part of the background lore? What�s the best way to explain such an odd ship to people? What will the variants be? Etc.

That�s all before we get to the �$400 picture� you�re complaining about. And then those pictures don�t exist without an incredibly high poly concept model, usually created by a noted concept artist. (For folks who wonder why we can have concept sales regularly but not patches, this is because the concept artists we use are contracted to deliver on a deadline unaffected by issues with the game build. They�re building a spaceship that isn�t in engine yet.) Once that concept model exists (which I�m making sound too easy � art goes back and forth back and forth to get the right look), it gets sent off to someone like Chris Olivia to pose cool pictures� and it�s handed back to the design team to prototype all the things we discussed in part one. Do the seats fit where they should? Is it clear how you get in and out, how it loads cargo, etc., etc. By the time a concept ship shows up for sale at the website, it�s been worked on by a dozen members of the team and multiple contractors. It�s a long, difficult process for everyone involved, and they�re pretty darn proud of the pictures you see� because they mean a lot for the game. "

This is a ways back but whatever; thread moves too fast:

quote:

In PU scale 40 is enough. You cant compare the capacity of a real world airliner that serves billions around the globe to a star ship in a fictional universe with maybe 2 million people. Way less than that since not everyone will be playing at all times. Not to mention lag will suck in a ship with hundreds of players. Of course some can be NPCs but still...

They think there will be 2 million people in the game :laffo:

You're mad and you need to be mad at someone but it can't be CIG and it can't be yourself. So you attack the easiest, most obvious target. Bad luck, that target is a litigious Internet warlord. Now he has to explain to his kids why Christmas is canceled this year because he has to pay the Derek taxxe.

But even before that he's uploaded a video ridiculing critics and claiming all stretch goals are in which is very untrue. This is the latest in a sequence of extremely janky, broken releases by CIG so it's like, where was he earlier when this defense could have had legs to vibrate into the floor on? Why is now the best time to swing into action? I'm assuming it's because he's the big idiot in the big idiot house (pardon for doxxing him) but I would love to know his thought processes but wouldn't actually like to see what goes on in his head.

Hello friend.

Nothing of consequence. Another epic chapter in the bootcha saga was released and has done well in setting the stage for an upcoming meat and potatoes release. We're waiting on the Crytek thing to move forward and everything else is the same basic noise circus. Some good art has been released that is worth your time.
