So yes, it will have FPS. Bman just dropped me off a FPS character. I named him Croberticus. He hails from Rome. He will probably wield a large floppy dicksword. Hand and a half... or 2hander depending on the hands.

Hopefully with a scene where Admiral Commander High Belt Bishop looks down at his hands which are caked in blood and goes "What have I become?!"

He'll be on a space toilet at the time just wanted to provide some context for the dramatic scene.

I do hope they keep the series running, by episode 20 I'm sure that Something Awful will be buying back into Star Citizen. Those videos show the haters to be the loser haters that they are. /s

In an ideal world Ben would get a spotted and poached to play a fat man in some terrible Adam Sandler comedy and Sandi would continue to make web shows about a game that will never exist

What are the odds Squadron 42 will be Wing Commander with mocap instead of FMV and absolutely 0 FPS? Because "that is what Star Marine is, and uh... backers.. well they misunderstood. It was never intended to uhh *flails hands* have like both FPS and Spaceships in Squadron inter...twined like *more finger acrobatics*...

They either drop the 64 bit positioning from SQ42 and use Star Marine for the FPS, which means they have to fix Star Marine so I don't think that's a goer.

Or they drop 64 bit positioning from SQ42 and redo FPS with it all in 32 bit, I don't think they'd do that either.

Or they add FPS elements to the large world 64 bit positioning 2.0 and use them for SQ42, this is what they've said they are doing, I think this is the most likely outcome not because they said it but because 2.0 currently works offline and CIG having something that actually works is a miracle. It's also going to solve all their instance and networking problems. Considering SQ42 is meant to be a spaceship game I fully expect the FPS to gradually become less and less important as they run out of time over the next 35 weeks.
