It's actually pretty funny to think - WHY didn't someone just go into 3ds and change the texture colour instead of photoshopping it? I mean... it's probably actually easier to do that. PAAAAAAAAAAARP

Jethro_E7 posted:Wake up. Karl, seriously listen to this guy. It doesn't mean you're saying the game won't come out or it won't be all you hoped it would be. Get your money out now, then if the game is the glorious success that you expect it to be, take all of that money and put it right back in. They have almost 100 million dollars, they don't need your money specifically so for your own sake get out now. Let the idiots with no risk awareness fund it then if it turns out to be a good game, everyone in this thread will be buying it and you can too. You won't miss out on anything besides the chance that you're going to lose all your money with nothing to show for it. Get out dude, you're a goon now so it's time to start doing the intelligent thing.

Hey Karl did you get a refund yet? You can still spend your money in the game once it launches so it's really only insulating yourself from potential failure with no downside. Also it means you can discuss this game sensibly without being massively emotionally invested in its success and having said success directly tied to you not being a dumb. Good all round really, set yourself free!

Bootcha posted:Hahahahaha. Ahahahahahahaha Oh Karl. Karl you poor poor baby. Come on, it's that time. Time for you to get a refund. Clear your head, get some distance from this thing and just think about things for a bit. It'll feel really good not to have the spectre of the game's failure hanging over you. You can still buy the game if it's a big hit, but you can also avoid having to feel so very wedded to it's future. You have been so well and truly owned, just let go. Get a refund.

I think it would be genuinely really interesting for Karl to get a refund then continue to defend SC here with us. I'd take what he has to say much more seriously if I didn't think he was posting these things out of desperately trying to justify his expenditure.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:2.0 is definitely coming out soon. Although it's probably short for pre-alpha tech-demo build 0.2.0 It will be interesting to see whether they're able to produce a first person shooter that can rival the huge number of dedicated AAA studios who have been doing nothing but refining this genre for the last decade. tooterfish posted:Nah. They're both horses, but one of them's had a horn nailed to its forehead by Chris Roberts, and is now thrashing around on the floor waiting for a Doctor to put it out of its misery. I dunno man paid $5000 for some really impressive drawings of unicorns - don't be so negative!

Octopode posted:Whether you pick 2011, when Chris was selecting an engine, or 2012, when the prototype was demoed, it doesn't really matter. There were no suitable licensable high-performance game engines available, whether with 32-bit or 64-bit spatial positioning systems that would have met the necessary wickets without requiring similar or more re-engineering work in one area or another. Do you believe that it took them 4 years to complete the 64 bit engine and simple incompetence caused them to develop incompatible modules that needed to be thrown away or do you think that they failed to realise the need for one until recently?

I wonder if you were to do a survey of people who back with very large amounts of money and refuse to consider getting a refund due to the state of the game, what the prevalence of this sort of thing would be. Personally this thought makes me pretty angry with CIG more than anyone else.

BastionPete posted:SC subreddit imgur posts getting bombed So what are you saying? Nobody targeted this thread, they just targeted the front page of reddit and by coincidence a bunch of cat pictures and pictures of food that we happened to post here where also taken down? Yeah that's a totally rational explanation. This attack went on for days and people pretty much immediately started including additional reddit content in posts. Like within the first 30 mins of it starting. I guess life's just an infinite mystery and nobody could possibly deduce what happened here.

Im_drunk posted:http://www.pcgamer.com/meet-a-fan-who-has-spent-30000-on-star-citizen-ships/ To be fair this guy says he just did "side jobs" to pay for this. Either he's lying, or he's very wealthy indeed. I don't know what $30k is to him, but it's probably a lot less than it is to most people. It's the people spending $10k when that's every penny they've got in their bank account that are really insane. If you're swimming in money and throw some of it on this bonfire it's not so weird.

Wafflz posted:The amount of money you have does not make spending 30k on space jpegs less dumb. I dunno, it kinda does to me. To some people, spending $50 on a video game is loads of money but I'd spend that in a blink of an eye. I can imagine that some people are wealthy enough that they might consider 30k to be "fun money". Obviously the fact that we're talking about star citizen, a game that is being horrendously driven into the ground and will probably never be released yet alone playable or fun, makes things worse. But for me it's way worse to spend your rent money on the game than it is to fart out some money you were going to blow on a second sports car on this instead. Different worlds. It's like Derek Smart throwing money at lawyers just so he can write blog posts on the internet. Most people would consider that to be a big waste of money but to someone wealthy it's nothing.

FrankieGoes posted:I don't see any evidence that he's all that wealthy. 30000 = 10k a year for the three years the game has been in development. Lots of non wealthy people can make 10 grand a year in side jobs/OT/whatever. I've spent more on Amazon over the same time period, and I am definitely not "very wealthy." I guess this depends on your definition of wealthy. Considering 30k to be "fun money" for you to blow on a hobby is fairly wealthy in the eyes of many people. My main point is that if he really is in a position of "well I had this 30k lying around so I figured I'd spend it on X instead of Y" it's not such a big deal as some of the people on reddit who are saying "I spent 5k on a space jpg and now I'm being evicted because I can't pay rent but it is all worth it!". Loiosh posted:It's all a matter of perspective. This guy articulates the point well, IMO. It's not so much about the actual value, but what that sort of money means in your life.

Oh poo poo looks like another feature being made up on the fly literally while answering the question.Here's another question, about LTI in case anyone's been making a mental note of the crap the come out with. Has anyone explained how the game can distinguish between someone with LTI getting their ship stolen via boarding piracy and them just giving the ship to a buddy then claiming a new one through LTI?

Olesh posted:Derek, at the risk of appearing somewhat hypocritical in arguing against the person rather than the message, associating with an unrepentant and misogynist white supremacist like Teddy Beale on even a professional level is highly unlikely to do you any present or future favors in terms of gaining or retaining any sort of credibility for yourself. Regardless of your intentions, this is going to cause people to perceive you in a negative fashion as they become aware of this. I'm not sure people are going to accuse Derrek of endorsing this guy's white supremacist opinions in this case. Not that I think someone like that should be given air time but I imagine there's limited damage to be done on that front.

Loiosh posted:Bounties have been known about for awhile. It's part of the Mercenary job set. (Escort or Attack missions, NPC created or PC created). So not actually a thing you can just set on someone because they didn't do X, but rather you have to pick a specific job to randomly spam bounties on people? Not too clear how that avoids griefing or indeed why I can't just have friends cash in my bounties for no penalty. Bounty systems only really work in games with severe death penalties. Loiosh posted:They say the market systems will account for this. The NPC insurance companies will deny claims if you end up having too many. In addition, the hull ID is flagged as stolen, so if you're giving it away to a friend, they'll be using it in the equivalent of EVE Null space. Also, LTI only applies to what the hull came with, not to the equipment or cargo. I'm sure people will abuse the heck out of it and have a good time. CIG is not too worried about this kind of friendly fraud. So if you blow someone up 3 or 4 times the game will refuse their LTI? That seems like a fun grief. Also the idea that they're going to be making ships in their game part of an intentional redundancy treadmill is one of the more terrible things I've heard about their intended design and that's saying something. Sell someone a $5k ship then release something that makes it redundant. Heh. Money money money.

The Yahoo article is pretty balanced and reasonable, too. The Escapist article was pretty heavy handed and only really told one side of the story, but the Yahoo article basically says there are differing opinions and maybe it'll all work out OK in the end. The fact that it makes SC backers so angry and upset that someone would dare to say that there are differing opinions on the game and it might not be a success is extremely telling. Their biggest fear right now seems to be the truth.
