I think Derek would be a pretty tough father, FrankieGoes.

Every time you messed up, you'd have to listen to a ten minute monologue recounting all your past failings, with reminders peppered throughout telling you that he'd already predicted you would fail in that way months or years ago. And every single one of them would end with "End of discussion. THE END." And then he'd block you on Twitter.

(i kid i kid, derek. sorta!)

LOL!! If only my daughter could see this, she'd just laugh. My wife (her mom) would just get even more pissed (cuz I let my daughter get away with more then she does). Why? Because, well, really, as a father figure, I'm complete push-over.

So calling someone a carebear is completely out of line but if you've spent $32K on Star Citizen, you can get away calling for the death of CIG employees. I like how the moderator didn't even remove the offending remark but just crossed it out.

Not defending it in the context of immersion or any kind of realistic physics simulator, but I kinda like it. It was inevitable that any kind of WW2 space dogfight game was going to have to have relatively close speeds between ships or nobody'd be able to do anything but joust. But they've done an interesting job of it- combat mode limits you to ~200, and cruise mode puts you around ~1000 but you basically can't turn. Then depending on your loadout and the weight your ship's carrying + your engine size, you will go faster or slower. It leads to some interesting battles. One of my only hangups with it right now is that radar ranges cap out around 10k, which means it only takes someone a few seconds to break contact if they go into cruise mode.

I think a lot of folks here would like to see something like:

1) Chris gets sidelined into some Emeritus position (out of the day-to-day dev and unable to add yet more to the engineering debt)...

2) Sandi goes to Hollywood full-time (and off the CIG payroll) and stops her reign of terror and self-indulgence in Santa Monica...

3) Erin and other competent, reasonable, fair-minded leaders take over completely and bring Star Citizen to completion...

(and it's not just folks here that want that...)

Sandi and Chris are going to make fat bank on the game if it's successful, even if they're not involved in the day-to-day operations. Maybe especially if they're not. It would be hard to begrudge them too much (toxic though they appear to be) that if it meant that a lot of the good people they still have working there would get meaningful employment, a good quality of life job, a chance to steer the future development of the game, and all the rest.

That's just my take.

I'd like SQ42 to come out so I can wallow in the pure artistic greatness of 10 motherfucking hours of Croberts quality writing. The rest I don't really care about, just like Chris!

I always wonder when I'm reading something like this what the thought process is behind the post. For my own perspective, I felt I've been consistent since 2010 with my perspective, uninformed as it is, of the kind of expenses a project like this would entail. Here's the post: http://www.shacknews.com/chatty?id=22187877#item_22187877 - and that here I've been even and consistent on my expectations, my thoughts behind those expectations, and the opinions I hold. Have I given you reason to suspect I would be untruthful in my feelings or my response here?

Does this really sound like what I've said/who I am in any post here or anywhere else, like on reddit or sn? You won't lose faith but you'll post that you did (cause the goonscorn, rite?)

That I would lie about my opinion just to seek approval from a group that utterly disagrees with me on nearly any point? The most likely response, if I was dishonest, would just be to silently leave in shame and never post again.

I like to think that I'm realistic in my view, if optimistic because of my years of testing various releases. I'm well aware most feel that I'm unreasonably optimistic, but if you're truly not trying to be mean, perhaps it would be best to not assume bad intention and try to predicatively assume I'm going to lie about my opinions.

Having said all that, I am thinking about the 2.0 release and what it means. My original post is kind-of vague because I tend to be uncertain on things. I've mentioned before that I like to observe or be presented with sourced facts so I can form my own opinion on things, and that includes my perspective on fun. Generally I like to give it a go myself, to explore the gameplay verbs (what actions the game engine allows). I've said before that space trucking E:D style is not my thing, and why that is, but not what is beyond a few mentions of enjoying the mission design for X-Wing/Tie Fighter and the multi-stage missions of FreeSpace 2.

I guess the most accurate measure would be something akin to I-War (in particular, I-War 2), where you play a corvette-sized ship. I-War 2 functioned as an open world, you could fly between systems via lagrange points, dynamically involve yourself in missions across a wide type piracy, escort, battles, and transport. So what I'd be looking for in 2.0 is the basic version of that kind of activity, but with the uniqueness of the capabilities of SC. Can I and a friend get together in a multi-crew ship? Can we travel around in space to multiple destinations and complete missions? Can we get into combat together, both controlling the systems of a single ship? And the required engine things: Is it stable for long play sessions? Can my friend join in my game?

If you really want to see my opinion, I guess I could stream it. I have a computer capable of doing that and then you can watch and hear directly how I feel. I can try that when the public release comes. If my friend is willing to join in I'll do that and then you can legitimately judge along side. He's a streamer himself, but tends to focus on playing retro games.
