Yeah that's just a news van. I'm talking about the capital ship all the News Vans report to, which then edits + broadcasts the footage across the universe. Maybe this is okay for some plebe who wants to be a news anchor or freelance journo but I want to be the Rupert Murdoch of space.

The alien species' design is unimaginative as hell. Similar lizardy face on most of them. Even Star Trek had more going on and they basically just glued some poo poo on people's foreheads. And of course two legs and two arms on everyone. Icochet fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Feb 4, 2018 |

Someone asked Croberts what happens if you steal someone's space ship and the vision is that it'll vanish as soon as you log out, and you can't sell it, and space police will shoot you on sight if you go anywhere near anything interesting. that is absolutely retarded I imagine then that something like goonswarm happening in this game will be impossible then, as that would interfere with The Vision [jk, nothing is going to happen because this game will never exist in a meaningful way]

Code Jockey posted:that is absolutely retarded Yeah the game isn't real so no point arguing, but I'm pretty sure griefers would just find other creative ways to have fun with this. Whether goonswarm chain vehicle theft to keep it from ever disappearing or kamikazing those vehicles as giant missles at random spaceports or other ships since they have no value after theft.

What even is Squadron 42? Is that a separate game from SC? Why are they trying to build 2 similar games when they can't even build 1? Or was this supposed to be a thing where they release SQ42 to appease backers and then quietly flee the country never to mention SC ever again?

it's so they can work around the clock on the game (UK is in a another timezone) and finish the game earlier. 2*work = 2work and work/2 = half the work and half the work/time it takes is half the time it takes

I'd be interested in seeing this, since it seems like stealing ships was part of the fantasy (but there won't be GRIEFERS just PIRATES). Just not enough to go read posts by actual Star Citizen believers. I'm dumb enough as it is and don't want to lose too many brain cells.

Probably not considering SC and I think Pathfinder Online were the crowd funding whale games that had "No goons allowed" posts after saying their games were for anyone who wanted to do anything. I think the PFO guy even mentioned Goonswarm by name.

I’m ashamed to admit I got caught up in the SC hype early on, when it still had a glimpse of being a reality. I don’t remember what I spent on jpg pre-orders (I think I borrowed half from my wife’s boyfriend at the time and never paid him back lol) but I guess I probably my would have wasted that money on anime or replica katanas anyway.

Was this actually a thing that Croberts was pushing? Like why does it matter that they are in different time zones? It sounds cool that they are literally working around the clock, but they are still using the same number of man-hours compared to if they put every one in the same time zone? Are SC backers actually this stupid? (yeah I know they are, but still)

And accessing the US databases are a loving pain, and this is just limited customer data. I would assume trying to access gigabits of textures and game data 10k miles away would be a nightmare

They're not really making anything, so they can freely shift between "2 studios in 2 timezones means 24/7 work," or "The two locations are doing entirely separate things. US offices are working on the Star Citizen PU, and the UK location is working on mocap and Squadron 42."

Are SC backers actually this stupid?  e: don't know much about game development, but I assume geography doesn't matter, especially when you are working on a 0.5 billion loving dollar budget. programmers develop using temporary art all the time and drag&drop the final art in at the end. the amount of data they would have to regularly exchange between two offices is probably pretty small. IRC they opened the other offices as a tax scam/government incentive scam. Germany and the UK are hungry for game companies settling there and offer all kinds of funding if you just plop down an office. (I guess you could achieve some kind of positive effect from working around the clock because, realistically, only a limited number of people can work on one thing at the same time before the efficiency goes down the drain. If you implement "chain working", you can get in more manhours on that one specific thing. But that's a level of optimization/sophistication that goes light years beyond what those clowns are even capable of. I don't know of any real, working global company (like Siemens or Intel) who bothers with that for development. It's too much trouble and too hard to get working GABA ghoul fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Feb 6, 2018 |
