I think Star Citizen in-particular exploits those who have trouble discerning fantasy from reality

I think it's more people who want to replace reality with fantasy.

There's no crippling debt in space... unless that Roddenberry hack lied to me.

Are like any of the people who spent thousands and thousands of dollars on space ships super pissed off if they didn't get an invite to play the 2.0 PTU?

How about that guy who spent what was it $55,000.00... did he get an invite? How about Wulge?

I got an invite and I am pissed that they should rename the game to Crash Citizen because all I get are crashes.

those who did not receive the invite should be thankful.

"they can't exceed the max map size of the engine without super-extensive modifications." "It would be absolutely insane and time consuming to do that."
The original CryEngineers including the original designer of CryEngine himself spent over 8 months on it. I think that counts as extensive modification. Are you more qualified to be talking about CryEngine modifications compared to the people that have been working on it for 7 years? Or are they all frauds too?

"what Chris has been hinting at and which most people (if you're not a tech) keep missing. They've zoned it. "
Chris has never hinted at it and they've never mentioned anything similar to it within the monthly reports.

"You still need 64-Bit positioning because you still need to calculate that accurately in a game whereby you want to keep everything in sync and accurate."
Despite that sentence barely making any sense, you're saying we need 64-bit positioning on self-contained "zones" that change the origin point on entry and don't exceed CE's size limit & 32-bit precision. Do you even bother reading what you type?

"So, you are going to need 64-Bit positioning precision to avoid problems with objects outside of the 8km range"
Which is what they figured out a year ago and decided to solve....

"visual anomalies which we have been seeing in the PTU 2.0 builds."
Visual anomalies that don't happen consistently, sometimes appear in the small arena commander maps, and don't happen if you launch crusader in single player. I'm pretty sure that's a "bug", derek.

"Especially since it appears (I monitored it in a test I ran yesterday) that they are in fact streaming in the zones."
Geewizz, it's almost as if this is a multiplayer game. What are the chances they're transferring data over a network when you move around?

"In order to even do what I think they've done, they would've had to do something called "world origin rebasing""
That would be a nice explanation if they hadn't already talked about what they did. They moved to a camera-relative system where the camera is always considered the origin point and the world moves around the player. Has been directly mentioned by Chris in interviews along with mentioned a couple times by the germany team in the monthly reports.

"A few people have actually hit a literal brick wall going in one direction that took them to the world extents of the zone."
Any evidence? Haven't seen this at all.

"Hope this helps those who are genuinely interested in the complexities of building massive worlds like this and the challenges presented."
These are your outlandish assumptions that go against the evidence available and imply the F42 Germany team are purposely risking their careers by lying to backers about their work on 64-bit maps and precision. Since making assumptions is what you specialize in, it's no surprise.

Places like Velga (a moon with a large asteroid belt) would simply not work with a traditional zoning system. The area is clearly much, much bigger than a single AC map. Making that area seamless across multiple zones/maps would take a long time to get right. Being able to drop out of Qdrive anywhere on the map relative to the distance you traveled also harms your argument. They're not storing individual zone data for a billion/trillion KM area just in case someone manually jumps to nowhere, that would be an incredible waste of resources.

Question: Can't you steal ships? So what happens when the person whose ship you have stolen ~~logs out~~ crashes to desktop?

Yes you can steal ships and that ship will be marked as stolen. The ship is yours and will not matter if the owner logs out or have an epilepsy.

Serious question what compelled you to pay ten dollars to argue with Derek about this game? I know its probably just a drop in the ocean to what you've spent on the game but that doesn't make it any less stupid.

Do you honestly think you'll change his mind on this matter when you write these loving huge unreadable effort posts. Where did you even read about this thread? Reddit? Some other irrelevant white noise forum?

Why do they have a different computer voice for the hyperdrive? Listen to that video. It's a lady who talks about "bogeys" and landing gear and poo poo. But it's some excited dude voice when that guy comes out of warp.

So, it boils down to you not believing CIG have got 64bit precision or have made the extensive changes they say they have? What the hell do you think they've been doing the past 3 years? The 64 bit is done. Local physics zones within ships is done. The playable area in 2.0 is 1,000,000 x 1,000,000 x 200,000km. It's all real, sorry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB1_IXHIIQ8

Clearly the following are true:

1. You're not interested in any meaningful discussion

2. You're not interested in accepting the fact that nothing you say will ever make sense nor be based on reality

3. You're not interested in anything that anyone has to say and which casts any sort of aspersions on your belief that everything with Star Citizen is good, and that we're all wrong

4. You seriously believe that trying to argue with a software developer (one with two Ph.D.s, 30 yrs experience, 16 games of massive scope under his belt) is the best course of action while not offering anything remotely resembling a sensible rebuttal

You're just wasting my time. At least those who are willing to accept that A != B, even if they are fans, are able to engage in meaningful discourse. I don't like wasting my time. So I will leave you alone to play with the others.

ps: The Star Citizen starmap is clear evidence that they've zoned the game world.

That's just the area around Crusader, the Gas Giant. Only a tiny part of the whole system of Stanton which has 3 other major planets, and you will be able to travel to them all and other systems when they're ready to progress to that.

That's not possible. He's seeing things. The rendering engine would have culled that away and the view frustrum would never - ever - display anything at that distance. It's just not possible. Period. End of story.
