Canine Blues Arooo posted:That's really bizarre. What's the penalty for death in that game? Having to pay for a replacement for your ship. Hence the typical advice of "never fly anything you can't afford to replace". I don't think the cost is equal to what you actually paid for the ship, but it's a pretty good percentage of it. If you can't afford that, you'd probably be better off getting in contact with the Fuel Rats.

Breetai posted:Refresh my memory; an instance is in effect the 'observable universe' of a player in a game, i.e. the area within a game that their actions can immediately see and affect, right? So all of this poo poo about porous and meshed instances is a load of bullshit by definition, yeah? The way I think of it is basically the way WoW uses it for dungeons. Each dungeon run is a separate instance, and only people within that instance can see and interact with it. Other groups are, naturally, placed in another instance of the dungeon. Hell, they've even extended that tech to the overworld at this point, so the game can spin up multiple instances of overworld zones to balance population. In any case, you cannot see players who are in a different instance than you, even if they are, technically, standing right next to you. You can even pull another player into your instance by inviting them to a group, but in that case you're simply changing what instance they're in, not letting them look into one other than the one they're in. So basically, if the larger ships were an instance of their own, you wouldn't be able to see anything outside of the ship except the environment; other players would not show up at all. For that matter, other players wouldn't even be able to see your gigantic ship, because it wouldn't be in their instance!

Ghostlight posted:The 'idea' is that the inside of the ship is instanced, but not the outside - so that way you can have a dozen people running around jerking off in wankpods but outside the ship only the important things like laser fire and direction needs to be conveyed. It's retarded because instancing (at least in the WoW sense) is not at all the appropriate tool for a weird hybrid occlusion culling and gameplay. I suppose it is technically possible, but the only way it could feasibly work is to have the actual innards of the ship sitting somewhere else, where nobody can see it, while a ship-shaped shell floats through space, controlled directly by the pilot. Entering or exiting the ship, or entering or exiting a pilot seat or turret, would necessitate a loading screen as the game switches your viewpoint to the appropriate location, and you sure as poo poo wouldn't be able to see anyone inside the ship from the outside or vice versa. It would also completely kill that "you are controlling your commando who is controlling the ship" nonsense, because the commando and the actual ship wouldn't even be in the same instance.

"Both Star Citizen and Squadron 42 are both very ambitious projects that are actively advancing into territory that has never been seen before." I'm pretty sure the only territory either of these games is advancing towards is a thoroughly explored, festering shithole.

Some of us have backed for outrageous amounts in pursuit of that. Sadly, I don't think SC will reach many or most of its goals. Hiding? Not at all, every single one of us wants to play Star Citizen, far more than anyone on Reddit does even, because that's the funniest possible outcome. We just don't see it happening.
