All Glory unto the Stimpire. Give up your arms and legs and embrace the beautiful agony of electricity that doubles in pain every second.

CCP screwed up by not making a game that would be impossible to build but very popular 13 years in the future.

Optane technology is pretty drat impressive and really fast. But has a similar problem to a Lamborghini in Ecuador: other factors slow it down and it's expensive as gently caress

And yet, people do buy Lambos in Ecuador, because there are always guys who want to have the fastest poo poo even if it will self-destruct after the first pothole.

"The upcoming 3.0 patch does allow players to explore the surface moons on foot and then go from ground to space to another moon surface without loading screens"

I still love that they think this is hard, or revolutionary.
Its not. It's actually pretty easy to do, just very few games would actually benefit from it.

Here's a free tech demo ( in fricking Unity no less) where you can move a camera from the surface of a Saturn sized world to an Earth sized moon. Its based on the Proland procedural world academic engine, which I also use myself in personal projects.

I don't understand why World of Warcraft spent so long as a hugely insanely popular MMO that literally printed money, it seems like if they'd focused their attention developing historical-themed first person shooters we'd all be playing that instead of CoD:WWII :smuggo:

Four years ago, backers knew (well, they thought they knew) the release date of SQ42, the overall scope of SC, and had a general idea of the gameplay involving professions.

Today, after thousands of days of development, they don't know anything for sure about those points, besides the fact that the game will be the best ever and has the most open development.

Just as they thought everything was going well, they learn Chris Roberts secretly funneled development time and energy into render to texture technology and Face Over IP. Two things nobody asked for, wanted, or expected.

They could have made actual progress, but this is loving Chris Roberts were talking about here. The guy who can’t focus on the end goal long enough to get a space ship flying good in his space game before he’s off building sand worms into an FPS game nobody wanted.

To be fair, if your engine for some reason does'nt support render to texture, it's probably REALLY worth getting it working, because, its a pretty fundamental corner stone of most render engines these days, and not having it is bad. (Boasting about getting it work however makes you look like an amateur.)

I’m not a game engine girl so I have no idea. If this is a thing that’s fine. But to me, it looks like CR is missing the tennis game and going to play on a boat half way during his match because why not.

I had children to be my spaceship crew, but the game's been delayed so long they've all gone off to college. My main turret gunner finished packing up all his belongings, mocked my Consolidated Outland Pioneer to my face, then said, "gently caress you dad.", before driving away.

Anyone want to join my org?

I’ll join but only if I can get the good uniform this time, not the French maid outfit like the last ship I had to crew on did. I’ll almost mop your floors clean every day, or hand load your 18,000,042 cubic tons of cargo in tiny 1’x1’ boxes for as long as it takes!
