Like at this point if you told me that the Star Citizen planets were built using mocapped dirt I would have absolutely no idea if you were taking the piss or not.

I just heard that CIG's not doing any more concept art, they just mocapped one of their existing artists at work and then used that data to procgen all of the new drawings.

I'm not affected by the piracy change because my plan is to steal B'Tak's first ship and to crash it on his 2nd ship when it spawns, not sell it or scrap it or whatever bullshit.

It's too credible given the morons at CIG. The only question is whether you believe that it's awesome or an utter waste of resources. The former marks you a prime target for SC, the latter is everyone else with a brain.

Ping pong balls provide an insulating layer without obstructing the flow of steam and/or increasing pressure would be my guess.

This is the weirdest thing. Eve has perfected the Space MMO economy game, they've spent a decade refining it and it works. People mine, people build ships, people fly ships, pirates destroy ships to salvage them, cycle continues.

You can be as involved in this process as much as you want, managing planets worth of manufacturing output to buying off the shelf and not caring.

All they had to do was rip off this model and make it first person and they were done. For once in their life CIG failed to Archer something correctly.

Actually, Chris promised all those things many times.

and here's 13 examples of him comparing his game to Eve:

Usually a white, depending on how used the ping pong balls are. As they age more you'll need a more robust bouquet to override the funk.

This is the company that mocapped the act of mopping the floor. That spent hundreds of hours mocapping a cafeteria.

I love projects like this because it's usually some high capital cost item that requires manufacture outside of it's intended use case, and uses materials that are as unsustainable as collecting firewood.

"The Wonderbag is available in the United States."

Oh agreed. That's kind of the point - the fact that "Chris Roberts is mocapping the ocean" isn't immediately obvious as being loving ridiculous speaks volumes about where we are today and why we're here.

That's great for its intended use. It is just basically wrapping blankets around an old fashioned crock pot though.

That's why I said jam the sous vide into a cooler chest, which will accomplish basically the same, and you won't have fabric getting all wet.

The first time I used an immersion sous vide thing in a big pot, I was just like, wait, this big heat conductive metal pot is going to constantly be dumping out heat. Sticking it into an insulated thing basically turned it into a sous vide slow cooker.

But Eve doesn't have whales who purchased their doomships directly from the company itself. It has resources and so on, and the PLEX system, but nobody buys a Titan directly from CCP. If a player's ship is destroyed he cannot demand a refund of all the hours he spent grinding for the cash and resources to build it.

CIG has to keep the whales happy by giving them their Idrises, and making sure nobody else has Idrises because otherwise why did the whales pay for them? Even before technological blocks are taken into account. An angry whale (say, a guy who's just had his Idris stolen) is someone who can ring up CIG and say "give me my ship back or I refund" and the law will be on their side. So of course they've made it impossible for that to happen, and it's not remotely a surprise that they did.

much like eve, it's in CIG's best interest that idiots' expensive ships keep getting blown up, so they buy more PLEX UEC to buy new ones. First, they need a game though.
