Far less funny, so overall worse. I remember the gnashing and wailing by grognards in the face of reasonable logic which was essentially 'we want everyone to share the same background sim'.
Hmmm, maybe it was funnier thinking about it, people lost their poo poo for literally no good reason until the one thing they could latch on to (I HAVE BAD BROADBAND IN KENTUCKY GRRRRR) brought the last remaining few together in what can only be described as the saddest self help group of all time.

well one cost a company a poo poo ton of bad press and lot of money and other made CIG a poo poo ton of money because spergs kept buying the loving ships???

Kinda precisely my point (I was hoping my memory hadn't misconstrued events as I remembered them). As others above have pointed out, the guy who was trying to do a "sick burn" on SC vs ED criticism was clutching at straws.

e - spelling

The other big bit of customer service drama for Frontier would have been their Steam release.

They initially denied providing keys to users for the Steam platform. I believe this lasted about a month (apparently their hold out duration is roughly 1 month to defuse a situation before giving in), before they allowed current users to get a Steam key for their purchase.

Other, additional drama I don�t know about. I think I was aware of the �hot items� where people started to feel cheated over something.

So THAT'S why the game refuses to even start so much. It'll take you more than Steam's two hour return period just to get into the game and find out it's poo poo. Those CIG boys are some kind of clever.

C&P Changes

Attach Crimes to ships, not the CMDR, it gives the criminal "flexibility"

Penalty to wanted ships, docking as wanted will connect you as an anon-protocols, which means security won't know you, but the services are lessened.

Different types of crime. More things are locked with Murder, etc.

"You can be a villian in one place, but a hero in another"

Fines don't become bounties.

-Bounties are never going to become Dormant.

"Law ETA in x seconds" when bounty was gained

Fraction Rebuy cost of ship is added onto bounty

Fraction of Victims rebuy cost is added to bounty

Victim of Murder Hobos will have rebuy lessened by how much Murderer pays

New Stack on Notoriety. Modifies of your rebuy cost as your notoriety increases.

Notoriety goes down as your ship is destroyed, this is the only way it goes down.

Shows starports and areas as wanted in navigation

Shows Anon-access

Introducing Superpower Bounties, ie Empire Bounties, you need to trigger by a lot of bounty threshhold

Sorta Hidden on the starport screen - Remote Workshop for Engineers

How you respawn, "Detention Centers"

You will be re-spawned at the nearest Detention Center, you have to pay for your fines and bounties.

If you become hostile on the landing pad, you will be ported to the nearest detention center.

"Looking into Criminality" as a viable path.

Galnet Audio and Galnet Symbol on the Right Screen, - Showed when showing where noteriety was

"Murder of Security service gave an 86,000 bounty"

Combat logging is an entirely separate issue

ATR's or "Void Runners" , "Blue eppelets", etc, are heavily armed and engineered assault ships that will basically make everyone leave and die. Not unavailable, but really hard to kill. (ED was killed in a FDL within seconds)

"Keep in mind this is a hot build, the beta will change all sorts of numbers"

Modules are also hot, cannot put hot modules into a clean ship, clean into a hot ship makes the module hot.

Detention centers are always within close starports.

You can get rid of bounties by interstellar factors at a increased cost

Wing Missions

Each CMDR can choose a different reward when they complete the mission.

Wing Commander has a special tab to view Progress and assigned CMDRS

You can apparently do multiple runs for a mission. So if one requires 500 units you can do two runs of 250 units and it would work, each cmdr can take x amount for the run.

You can see how much everyone is taking live.

Wing Missions icon

There are massacre missions, massacre conflict, assassination, cargo, basic missions that can be done together.

You can take Wing Missions as a Single Player.

Each person can accept a wing mission, so a wing of 4 can have up to 4 missions.

At a certain threshold, you can accept a "Partial Accept".

Looks like ED is finally getting their version of CONCORD. Glad of it.

People are spending a crazy amount of real money on the game. So far about $1.3M has been transacted, with multiple kittens selling for ~50 ETH (around $23,000) and the �genesis� kitten being sold for a record ~246 ETH (around $113,000).

This is update 1 of 4 hitting beta in 8 days. It addresses a lot of things which we always wanted but never got, hopefully FD fleshes out ED more than expanding the foundations again. The other 3 will be dropping in the other quarters of the year.

I just want it to become spaceship Diablo, is that too much to ask?

Looks like its time to dust off my FDL.

Here are my observations. My observed load times were crippling on both the SATA SSD and the Physical Hard Drive. From launching PU, I normally wait 20-30 seconds on the Samsung NVme M.2 SSD. The SATA kingston SSD took 77 and 90 Seconds out of two runs. The WD Red Hard Drive took 185 and 220 Seconds out of two runs. Frames were also hurt by the speed of the drive. It seems that Star Citizen is capable of maxing out a hard drives bandwidth. Frames start fine as usual and quickly degrade resulting in stuttering. The HDD activity light went on and basically stayed on. My player experience was unplayable on a Hard Drive. The SATA SSD also resulted in a less than my usual experience.

ED, is built on some serious tech. But poo poo for brains when it comes to doing anything fun. From their roadmap this year, it seems their updating many core systems / mechanics to enable players to do more without jumping through stupid rear end hoops and just have silly fun.

One example is running missions together.

Right now, you simply can't. All you can do is hope that the mission board has the same quests sending you and your friends to the same place and having the same objectives. What they're going to have in the update will be something close to WoW's share quest feature, but deeper systems to prevent player fraud (typical Elite).

Another thing they're addressing is PVP. ED's world is complete nullsec, so that makes it a paradise for gankers and griefers in lowbie systems. So FD is finally implementing some serious police force that's active everywhere and from what I understand, a more punishing system for murderers.
