boviscopophobic posted:It sounds like he's claiming about $13k, not $45k (the value of 160k UEC is pretty negligible, relatively speaking). yea, my bad; I thought 1,000UEC went for $5 it's $5 for 5,000 - so actually still in the 13k ballpark

Shadowlyger posted:You know, I have to consider... There are over a million NPC's, all going about their lives in real time. It would be impossible for anything less a hundred people to kill all million. Then you have to consider their ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE will cause them to hunker down and band together to defeat your threat to them. edit: so, try again Goonies.

I'm looking forward to the fidelity of taking out all the NPC shopkeepers, and then seeing the NPC business owners put help wanted ads in the space paper or robertsspacemonster.com for new shopkeepers. Then random NPCs get their resumes together and go in for interviews and the NPC business owners weigh their applications, and make a hire based on Chris's godly algorithms. And then the new NPC shopkeepers get taken out too.

The game is split up into 24-player instances, so if I kill a NPC in one instance, does he die in all of them?

Quoting from a few pages back, but I used to have a CD with the radio play of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' that I'd listen to in the car. If you can get hold of it, that's an option. Or for extra comedy, you could listen to episodes of ATV.

Mr.Tophat posted:Can anyone recommend me a podcast or stand up comedy I can listen to while refactoring my home? I need to listen to something to get poo poo done and I'm running out of material. I wouldn't recommend starting at the beginning though, it took them a while to "get into the groove" in my opinion. Some of my favourites are #60: Comet Panic, or #192: When The Cars Came, or #237: Jet Pack Madness. Everyone reading / posting in this thread would probably get a kick out of listening to Episode 152: The Car Known as "The Dale". It's practically about Star Citizen, if you change some of the names around.

Then random NPCs get their resumes together and go in for interviews and the NPC business owners weigh their applications, and make a hire based on Chris's godly algorithms. And then the new NPC shopkeepers get taken out too. Now this is a little bit of theorycrafting of course but I think Chris Roberts may have something really special in mind for players that are attentive to detail: true progression of NPCs! What do I mean? Well... Imagine if you will, George the Janitor. George is an AI in Star Citizen - and while he never complains, you know he's unhappy with his job. You might first meet George in a Space Bar, but after talking to him, you might inspire him to become something greater - a Space Hero! So from now on you will not see him in the Bar anymore, rather, he will be found working more shifts, saving up money for his first Space Ship! If you play the game for a few years, you may see him rise through janitorial and corporate ranks - and then one day you fly through space and an Idris hails you. Who could it be? It's George! George from the Janitors Unite corp where he and hundreds of other former janitors fight for freedom against the evil Vanduul invaders. It's small moments like this that will make the game so much more special than the rubbish AAA games that the greedy publishers push down on us today, and I am willing to wait as long as it takes for CR to create this Magnum Opus!

STRAP YOURSELF IN and prepare to dive inside CIG's well-oiled development machine. Around The Verse Sep 21, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV2qhhtsMA0 @ 01:20 UK Leads Meeting ![]() Matthew Webster (assoc producer): Erin is very keen to go to Evocati THIS WEEK, um... so what we've done is, em... is severely cut down the PTU 'must fix' list, those 21 issues are the ones that we really need to focus for... like, the focus for this initial push to Evocati is the experience of the first HOUR, TWO HOURS or so... The... the directors and the executive took a REALLY good look at what they wanted to do for our first release to Evocati cos... cos we're REALLY keen on getting this out to... to the Evocati group and start... for them to start testing things. LA Project Leadership Meeting ![]() ![]() Erin Roberts: ...basically the idea is to get JIRA right, get JIRA used properly... Chris Roberts Yeah yeah yeah, a hundred percent you should... JIRA should be used right and... labelled right and timeline should be a juror so anyone can open the JIRA and see more details in the comments. What I want is... a... like very QUICK top level view from the producer of their group, calling out like what their kinda ISSUES are UK Project Leadership Meeting ![]() Rickey Jutley: The thing that I asked QA to do today in the leads meeting is, I wanted them to just HIGHLIGHT the ones that THEY think are BIG... em... ev ah... Evocati issues that aren't on this list and send that filter to YOU, we'll recommend what we think out of the thirteen issues that they've highlighted, we think probably should be fixed... I think there's one or two that we think, 'you know what it's worthwhile', but ERIN, it's for YOU to make that CALL, then, um, you can let us know if you wanna add them or not LA Global Leads Meeting Erin Roberts: I can just sit with the guys locally here, I don't need 20 people in there I just need to sit wif... one or two guys and then we'll just go through the process... cos I'm more interested in right now just how fuu... how... how... it FEELS when you get out, get... get a SHIP... take off... go to a place... and I DO think... if we can get the fix in for um... for the ah... for the em... for the ATC markers in, then that will be GOOD. LA Directors Leads Meeting Erin Roberts: Please, just be careful of what you're checking in, don't just get on, on Friday night, check something in and go home... that's for your own... I'm not having a go at U.S., but also just sort of take care, make sure you get, you know CHECKED and so forth and things cos that costs us more time than anything when basically the build BREAKS and then we gotta (inaudible)... you know it kills you HERE, it kills us in the UK, you know we come in in the morning and we've got 4 hours at LEAST before we have to find the big fix and then by the time of the end of the day we've got a build and... so we need to make sure that everyone is being really CAREFUL when doing that stuff and I'd rather everyone took an EXTRA HOUR and make sure the BUG'S FIXED and then um, then try and rush on to the next one.

Wait...the build breaking check-in is neither rolled back, nor does the guy who did have to buy free beer for the rest of the team if he didn't roll it back? The next office who does the checkout has to search the cause for the broken build, and fix it, to continue working? What kind of company is this? Normally, when you do your final check in, you wait for the build system to either give you a green thump up, or a red cross meaning you just broke the rolling build. That's why you normally factor in the time the build takes before going home (of course, during crunch this is not always possible). If you are sure your check in won't break the build, and it does and you are already home/no rollback is done, you normally have to buy everyone a beer. This of course assumes there is a central build system, not every developer relying on his machine's build.

Counterpoint: Chris is still on vacation and without his leadership hampering the developers--work is actually getting done. And a quick question about the Saviour thing--was Jesus a Saviour before or after he was put on a cross? Asking for a friend...
