https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/12756-Meet-The-XiAn Man, I'm not normally the guy to pull out the "your art is racist" card, but god drat. They're the complete Inscrutable Easterners package including loving calligraphy that looks like an idiot american doing fake chinese characters. Stop making real human cultures into aliens, it's more than a bit racist plus it shows that you have complete poo poo for imagination. What's next, is the traditional music of the Vanduul going to be a form of aggressive spoken-word rhyme and drumming?

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure some of those are just straight up Chinese characters too. Edit: imagine buying some dudes Chinese character fanfic. I bet you can get someone with actual talent to make some chinese calligraphy for whatever that guy charges and it'd somehow be less nerdy Sankis fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Apr 29, 2019 |

Iirc, they hired a linguist to develop their fake alien language. Another goon further back itt detailed how it's sort of easy to do from a game development perspective, and it's the one thing that sc didn't totally gently caress up. ...but now it looks like that ray of sunshine for them is gone as well.

Of course the real reason they have aliens with chinese writing is that Firefly had chinese words and writing as flavor, and star citizen is biting Firefly's style so hard they've developed TMJ.

It's pretty great that they stole one of the worst-aging aspects of Firefly. I can't think of any Firefly fans that aren't at least embarrassed about the Chinese thing. Let alone people who don't love the show automatically.

Hello, please don't forget about the honorbound hyper-nationalist bird samurai military quote:Originally the Tevarin followed Rijora (/REE-jorr-ah/), a warrior-code similar to Bushidō on ancient Earth. The Tevarin believed in honor, fealty and duty above all else. Breaking their strict code meant excommunication or even execution in extreme cases.

The thing is, just look at any Avengers movies or whatever. People are now fully conditioned to gobble up this super generic, easily digestable, concept artist's demo reel crap.

Look at these totally cool star citizen characters you'll be able to play as.  These images are years old, so surely by now we can play as a sexy, part android, bounty hunter of the stars now? Right?

5 playable (yet buggy) ships since 2011 is pretty impressive going, that’s a rate of about 1.5 years per ship being shat out. According to the wiki there are over 100 ships, so I’m glad release got moved forward to 2170.

Stellaris also has a 3D-ish galaxy map. It can be confusing sometimes when the camera angle ends up with two systems overlapping, but it's usually fine.

Dementropy posted:Definitely worth reading. Holy poo poo, how has no one mentioned this little tid-bit: quote:On a summer Saturday in 2007, a trespasser slipped by a security gate and entered Chris Roberts’ L.A. home. Inside, Madison Peterson, Roberts’ former common-law wife, with whom he had a long on-and-off relationship, was startled and feared her young daughter could be harmed or kidnapped. Peterson later identified the trespasser as Sandi Gardiner, who is now Roberts’ wife (for the second time) and a cofounder of Cloud Imperium. Roberts reported the incident to police, and a California judge issued a temporary restraining order that required Gardiner to stay 100 yards away from Peterson, who claimed in her temporary restraining order application that Gardiner had been stalking and threatening both her and her daughter for nearly three years.
