edit: arrows instead of W/S evidently.

For the redditors reading this thread, an excersize in critical thinking, considering Lead functions in general mean making sure the grunts understand a vision and execute it accordingly, how is breaking a wrist a blocker (ugh) instead of an inconvenience. How can an event like this incur a larger delay then you'ld normally had until a deadline unless you would not make it in time for the deadline to begin with.

The way CIG/RSI is handling things reminds me a lot about the place I work at but with tons of public money and mocap madness.

CIG designers sat down and figured out how to make a screen full of shield controls even less fun by having you stare helplessly at SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE half the time.
I'm the slightly off-center shipmodel in the shield display

Really, why the gently caress doesn't a LEAD CHIEF UI ENGINEER GURU not see that poo poo? 'It's an alpha' is not an acceptable excuse because it doesn't look like placeholder content at all.

Slightly?

Could also have gone with 'I'm the 45 degrees turned shield display', a visualization that has front-shields in the top-left, and aft-shields in the bottom-right is really bad for snap judgements where to divert energy to shields. If they manage to make a fun mini-game of balancing shields this HUD is actively trying to work against you.

As with a lot of things about Star Citizen it looks polished if you only take a quick glance. We call that 'Hollywood' at our company, lifted straight from the old westerns where towns usually just a bunch of facades. We make things like that for demo's and tradeshows where people have no time to actually see it's far from done or actually functioning, it's sole function is suggesting we have something. Diffirence is that we actually do implement it eventually. The term however seems extra relevant for CiG though.

Can't wait for rotating space balls to fly off of their loving axis or someone crashing their ship into one causing the thing to go to hyperspace speed
But if they rotate it would be a shame to not have them orbiting their sun right? I mean, it's just flopping three thingamabobs in the procedural generation settings file right?

Then you could also make a cartography ship/profession!

So excited!

I always see it as Derek Smart makes games that Derek Smart would enjoy playing. If you don't enjoy it, that's your problem, you should be Derek Smart so you can enjoy the game.
Aren't we all Derek Smart around here.

In all seriousness, from a distance it seems like Derek is a typical developer. That is, hardly able to see things from the viewpoint the average user. The shop I work at has 30 developers, of which at least 20 are unable to imagine why stuff they make is horribly user-unfriendly and/or terribly confusing because it makes sense to them. If you limit your target audience to people who don't mind battling your software (ie. redefining what your average user is :-)) and get by, all the power to him though.
