This is a highly staged commercial pretending to be in-engine game footage.

To watch it is to be promised so very much. "This is 2.0 gameplay- we're nearly there! Squeeee! I'll be able to eject from combat if need be, and escape in pod to the nearby planet, and who knows what adventures await me down there!"

No, it isn't, and no you won't.

Where did the other ship come from? Why would you not just have the entire ship eject? Is that pod going to be standard across all ships? Why do they not have a global design document describing the basics of how things work?

This is why Derek is the most hilarious choice for CRoberts' opponent.

His mild association with the Gamergate idiots and his willful patronage of the man whose avowed beliefs include "literally mutilate women who speak up, and killing kids isn't wrong if they might be liberals" means that there's great entertainment no matter what happens with Star Citizen, because both sides are blithering morons.

I am sorry I had to slack off on the thread lately. How did the nazi interview go? Have Bootcha released his new video? Why is Serpah's new account only probated?

1) uneventful 2) no 3)because 6 hour probations can be finalized by a mod alone with no oversight, so they're used to temporarily take care of an issue until a longer probation/ban can be reviewed by a second party.

Here's an 80 page treatise on how all ships should have a 30 to 45 second minigame set each time you climb into them before you can fly somewhere.

I'm still astounded even for CIG that they would actually use "one guy broke a wrist, the entire game is delayed a month" as an excuse. This is bordering on OUYA-level incompetence.

are they still doing refunds??

Like crossing the event horizon of a black hole, we'll never be quite sure when we've hit the point of no refunds. (But maybe an outside observer would see it happen).

So maybe we're there now, and the current refund delays are permanent delays.

Yep, zero programming experience. I mean, that's not demonstrably false just for my involvement in Star Citizen alone, let alone my professional life, or anything.

Edit: Have you figured out how to read API documentation yet?

Your involvement with Star Citizen is to spout stuff out your rear end and be proven wrong about anything project time line related, over and over.

I just watched citizenstreamman64 or whoever EVA up to a turret on a ship parked on a ramp. This brought up a <use> prompt, even though the turret has no hatch to the outside world. When he activated it, he warped 50 feet downward through the hull and began the animation to enter the turret though an elevator from inside the ship.

The main issue is that they are right now, in December 2015, is where they should have been and needed to be in December 2013. From the list on the CIG forums, they have 26 ship variants flyable, they have 105 or so planned. Many of the current ships are horribly broken and really can't be considered complete, and several have rework planned. They have one star system complete, about 100 planned. They would have a hard time being set up to release in 2017.

And of course the overarching problem, by putting an FPS inside their Space game, they're going to end up with a substandard quality FPS inside a substandard space game due to the limitations and compromises needed to join them.

Final question: Did they drop the individual thruster simulations with damage states idiocy? Seems like it was sacrificed to the gods of netcode, exactly as predicted here.

Steripak idiocy.

How was I to know my ship was 70% plastics? I guess I'll just fly my aluminum ship skeleton around now.

And if you put in a refund request, waited four to six weeks for them to respond and then they reject it, you are past the point that you should be talking to CIG. Start a chargeback immediately. If you want, you can tell them that you're starting a chargeback, but the language is "I'm starting a chargeback" not any sort of negotiation.

I wonder what people are thinking as reality sets in and they begin to accept the truth. That this community is not special or set apart. That there is no fun to be derived save what can be extracted from the misery of others. That the same people that harass them for no reason outside of spite will be even more relentless if the game is fun.

That we really are out there.

How can you beta test when the game is prealpha 2.0, with production started last week?

Not sure of the exact date, but they're claiming that the 2.0 release pushed to all backers just before christmas counts as a "substantial implementation" or some poo poo. No more refunds.

They're even rejecting refunds requested several weeks before the 2.0 release, after they sat on them for a month or more.

Also this year:
Community Manager doing a show displays a URL onscreen for an unsecured internal torrent of work-in-progress assets.

Citizens should find it odd that at the time, the leak was actually the first real sign in several months that any progress was happening, because their three shows a week are nothing but fluff with no substance.

Not this year, but worth watching again as we strive for the 1000 page stretch goal:
