TheLightPurges posted:They literally have all the same angles. Look at the stock and mag especially. Its not an accident. Okay, having looked at other gun shapes I'll concede that point. It's 'rather a coincidence' that both have double swept handles like that considering most guns don't.

In today's episode of "Banter With Ben" Well this is interesting. Play close attention to Ben's statements re: SM in Evocati. Maybe it's just me, but all his statements lead me to believe that he's trying to tell us something (that I'm right). https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/259596-The-Star-Citizen-Thread-v5?p=4857195&viewfull=1#post4857195 https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/259596-The-Star-Citizen-Thread-v5?p=4857401&viewfull=1#post4857401

Wrecked Angle posted:Sorry, I'm gonna have to disagree on that one, they aren't that similar. Given what I know about CIG, I refuse to see the 45 degree swept back combination magazine-feed and forward grip as coincidental. Obviously there's only so many shapes you can do for the front bit of a gun, and the buttstock looks as unique as any other CIG guns, but that magazine area seems a little on the nose for it to be a coincidence. e:fb

I understand with modern weapons there is a bit of form convergence but look at the sheer variety of firearms out there today. And this is 900 years in the future in the game they can do whatever the gently caress they want. Their new art shouldn't happen to look like a competitors gun that released last month.

Much like your ship, every cubic inch of the gun's interior will be able to customized with a variety of modules. You can use that space inside the front of the gun to hold a small stealth module or very small passenger module.

He has the materials to force CIG and their shell companies to produce their financials and to show once and for all if their funding tracker is true. It's a matter of decades not centuries.

Magazines are swept in that direction for several reasons. Why would you want to push your gun away from you when you replace the mag? For any typical cartridge, why would you want the magazine at an angle inside the mag well? The cartridges have to align with the chamber. CIG is retarded.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:What good is a company that is so incredibly lovely at managing themselves that they can't even successfully predict what will happen in two weeks? Absolute zero. Star Citizen is incredibly late, extremely over budget, and horribly managed in all aspects pertaining to actually delivering a product. Star Citizen is both a success for raking in scads of money in pre orders, and a incredible failure that will never come close to meeting the requirements for the promises people spent that money for. The only way CIG will be a viable long-term (haha, I doubt this was ever supposed to be long term) company is by self-publishing. The only thing CIG has successfully proven to investors and publishers is that they cannot make a game with infinite time and infinite money. Even if Star Citizen is good, they will not get a publisher to back them for any other future ventures, or Star Citizen 2. CIG will only exist so long as it has benevolent whales with blind faith and deep pockets.

I love how easily they can say "CIG lies all the time" and yet also imply how they have faith in them. I wish I could figure out how they get from thought A to thought B without ever stopping and rubbing their chin in a sudden realization of what they're doing.

Beet Wagon posted:"Oh neat CIG has new weapon artwork out, I wonder what creative and practical designs they've come up with..." Look at all the empty space around the trigger guard. You have this weird notch above the grip itself, and then in front of the trigger you have another completely enclosed but empty space. Is the grip a safety? Is the trigger some kind of sensor that has no mechanical linkage to the rest of the gun? Why have that superfluous spar from the stock to the grip? The only reason people do that in real life is so that you can purchase the gun in places that ban pistol grips.

Wrecked Angle posted:The funny thing is the way the backers point at extremely slow progress then eventually delivering terrible, buggy, hacked together versions of the really easy stuff as if that somehow proves CIG can build all the ~DREAMS~ they've been promised. I really liked your original analogy and it fit well with exactly what CIG is doing. Making an FPS arena game with 6v6 PvP battled using CryEngine doesn't get them an ounce closer to the fever nightmare of Star Citizen. Good critical think skills and putting complex ideas and concepts into a very simple to understand package.

The only reason people do that in real life is so that you can purchase the gun in places that ban pistol grips. This might be the cynic in me, but I think the extra greeblie thing on the trigger guard was purposefully put there to differentiate it from the titanfall weapon. The Titanfall rifle just has a bug extended trigger guard to eat up the space that you need between it and the magazine feed for the 45 degree tilt to look right, and I think CIG wedged a bunch of extra spars in there to eat up that space because without them it would look drat near identical. e: identical in terms of silhouette, not necessarily overall.

Looking at the super-accurate funding-tracker SC is doing extremely well at bringing in more cash for not-in-game ships. One wonders why the grey market still needs to trade at 20%-30% below value with all this enthusiastic demand & cash swimming around. Definitely not a scam.

Quavers posted:Looking at the super-accurate funding-tracker SC is doing extremely well at bringing in more cash for not-in-game ships. The funding tracker remains one of the unexplained mysteries of Star Citizen. If it's accurate then crazy people really are giving RSI tens of thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, every day. If it's faked then how the hell are they managing to pay for multiple studios, hundreds of staff, mo-cap at imaginarium etc? My guess is that it's accurate-ish but with a few caveats. Only shows money in, refunds not accounted for. Some sort of baseline is established from somewhere so that there is never a $0 hour (subscriber funds maybe?). Whatever it is I'm glad it's there if for no other reason than it shows just how loving bonkers the shitizens go during a sale. e. I will pay my tax in pedo-kittens
