I am now picturing Chris Roberts screaming at Lando and Lando is screaming at a german who is sitting a few inches away, frantically trying to press the right key.

This is probably how the game is being developed.

I wonder if this will give us the ability to infiltrate, then thieve and run.

Yes but if they purchase renters insurance with RL money they will be protected. Buy an org armory and barracks module now for $2k and it comes with lifetime renters insurance.

I imagine the next great re-design will be figuring out how to make one rectangle fit as many ships as possible. Cutlass rectangles fitting inside of Caterpillars and so on.

If there was only some way to make rectangles standardized. Chris Roberts needs to invent a new shape to tackle this problem without cheating.

Don't fix the images. Star Citizen has the OP it deserves.

However if we get $50,000.00 USD in funding we can have a stretch goal for fixing the op with next-gen images.

I am now announcing a new ship concept sale! The OSC Intersteller Mobile WNR, a limited time ship with a very special and exciting role to be announced in the future! Get your own Mobile WNR while you can, these will never be available ever again when this sale is concluded. Ever.

Star Citizen isn't going to just revitalize the pc gaming industry, it is also going to revitalize space exploration and the global economy.

Let's play guess the poster:


Edit backstory: Chris blew an idea out his rear end about having in-game VOIP and then letting players "hack" into other players communications. So the "Chris never says anything that is wrong" demographic are shooting out wild ideas of how this would work and how to force players to use the in-game VOIP.

Such penalties for out of game systems include:
- packet loss for game if it detects a 3rd party VOIP running
- "somehow" restricting mission critical data like coordinates and passwords to in game VOIP only
- being a pain in the rear end to switch to your 3rd party program because of some scrambler
- uh things

I too want a game that will introduce LAG if it detects other applications running or installed on my computer.

How about if you were trying to hack into their in-game VOIP and it detected a 3rd party communications app like Ventrillo, Mumble or Skype running on the target's computer it would delete their hard drive? Owned, cheating bitches.

It's not that weird, although I agree that it's bad timing on CIG's part. I used to work at a game company, and after work hours the office was used for all sorts of extra-curricular stuff: D&D groups, movie nights, LARPs, networked death match, etc. It was considered a perk of employment to be able to "borrow" a conference room for your personal hobby after work was done.

You are a monster and I hope the FTC Derek Smart destroys your life.

It's the same where I work. Various people host various events that have nothing to do with our line of business regularly. Be it charity group meetings or professional societies. As long as it's not interfering with business, people can use the conference rooms for whatever.

Yeah I don't see what the big deal is, as long as it's not happening during normal company hours when she would be expected to be doing CIG related work (even tho she is probably on salary) and they aren't funding the movies using company spaceship moneys.

I recall reading or inferring that the cameras are actually parented to the eye bones in the model. That would possibly be good for occulus since it would give the proper left-right offset and would also mean that whatever the model is looking at the player is also looking at, but it also means that the camera would pick up every motion of the head/body which is what is causing that jerkiness and bobbing in the videos.

I am guessing that they are trying to limit that motion by clamping and smoothing it out but that's still just putting a bandage on a fundamentally flawed solution.
