Why has the first ship got cooling fans in the nose? Are they supposed to be for sucking in the vacuum of space and blowing it over hot parts to keep them cool? I don't even....

I am on p2788.

When I get to the current last page (2798) that I am on now, for every loving Ryan Archer post that I see, I won't post for 1 day. e.g. if I see 10 posts after p2798, that's 10 days that I won't post.

And when I do come back, I will start reading from page count + number of days. Which means that every thing that came before, I will neither read, nor respond to.

So yeah, you loving idiots need to stop with this Ryan Archer poo poo and go create another thread for it.

That is all.

It's that a promise? If so, Ryan Archer.

Did someone say Amiga? I remember having one of those in my younger days.

Warhead was a better game than Star Citizen will ever be.

Warhead was da bomb.

I remember there was one mission where you met a ship that was a bit like the borg and the only way to destroy it was to trick it into flying into a black hole or something while you quickly reversed out. Took me a good few hours of trying to shoot in in different places before I figured that one out.

Millenium 2.2 was another one of my favourites too and think I managed to complete it once.

I don't have time to list specifics, but if they want to be competitive and still hold/captivate an audience, they should include:

-Procedurally generated systems with their "custom" landing zones that they pushed (at least 50 systems, if the claim of customization holds true and was worth the time)
-Flight mechanics that aren't janky. Supposedly, the SQ42 base code has fixed this but has not been implemented yet in Alpha. TBD I guess.
-Game mechanics such as: Mining, Cargo (inclusive of cargo management systems, etc), Hacking, Repairing, Bounty Hunting, Refueling, Exploration
-AI (fleshed out subsumption), as the ratio will apparently be 9:1 NPC to player
-Instanced Zoning system that they claim is the Holy grail in allowing players to interact with battles/friends/events in the same parts of systems seamlessly
-Enhanced ship customization and modularity ( they claim you'll be able to use the Science Module on the Endeavor to "supercharge" or rather, increase efficiency of ship parts, or use the Crucible to modify the hull to make it stronger, etc).

So basically, you want Elite Horizons and not a broken piece of poo poo tech demo from 2008 like SC that'll never be anything but a broken piece of poo poo with ships spinning on the pads, invisible players clipping through walls at 3000rpm and nothing but port olisar or whatever it's called where RSI/CIG or whoever can't even get the loving rings to rotate properly?

What do you mean come from? 115 million raised from crowdfunding. Likely a similar (ok - let's say even half that) amount of private investment; any number of grants for small businesses (hence some of the smaller entities still in existence) and tax incentives in different states and countries. Do you think the money coming in is spent immediately? Ok - there are four studios and the bulk of the employees are located in Europe. Even guessing (LOL no access to financials!) that the monthly burn rate is approx 3 mil/mo and speculating that this was the case for the past 18 months ( I say 18 because the ramp up to 300 employees occurred during this time), that's $54 million. Given my other variables, they then should have (or utilized) up to $150mil more. I'm confident that they're doing fine for the time being.

Doing fine in that every alpha release they've released so far hasn't included anything of substance but just bug fixes from the previous bug-ridden poo poo-fest? It's just different variations of ships spinning on a pad with extra bugs in, a few extra visual changes, doodads and textures (which may or may not disappear as you approach them)

Where is the gameplay?
Where are the missions?
Where is the fun?

For 115 million I'd have expected a bit more than what is currently out there after all this time.

But she looks the same - regarding her emotions - in every pic.

It's nearly like this



Only difference is: this guy earns quite some money driving an engine with wheels bolted on around, she needs quite some money to pretend that she is an actress.

I think it's because her eyes have no emotion, they're literally the same in every single frame showing no emotion whatsoever. A bit like a shark, one that feeds on whales.
