This feels like the Real Life version of scamming pubbies that want to get into GoonSwarm in Eve Online. 1) Build this big dream of paradise and how great it is to be part of it 2) Offer people a taste ~for a fee~ 3) Drag out the admittance process by claiming that the pubbie is a spy 4) Suggest that ~another fee~ would be a game changer and expedite their admission process 5) Tell them that they are being invited but never actually invite them 6) Have them bring all their stuff to somewhere convenient for us 7) "Accidentally" gently caress them over and take or blow up all their stuff 8) Repeat step 4) indefinitely 9) Most importantly- never, ever, admit that it is a scam. This is an actual scamming playbook that goons use CR is either the most genius goon ever or a pubbie sunk by this scam and seeking space revenge

This might sound like an odd question, but.... Are there game mechanics that these idiots are all getting behind and circlejerking about? I think it would be kind of hilarious to just drop in and provide a counterpoint to see people up in arms about game mechanics that may or may not exist in the current collection of jpegs

I actually want SC to be released as a playable game. Just imagine; all of these complete morons that have been shelling out hundreds/thousands of dollars for some space advantage only to get suicide ganked by hundreds of goons for no discernible reason. It's pretty funny for the die hards to be smugging so hard over some semblance of progress- like they're going to personally achieve something if/when the game is released. If they're up in arms over goons right now, they're in for a real surprise when we can actually log in.... ...in like 10 years

ManofManyAliases posted:Comparatively, communication still remains more open and public than pretty much any other title I've seen - and I'm glad of it. How are people still using this argument despite the only people that are able to see any semblance of gameplay are locked down tight by a complete NDA? They are communicating to you what they "want to do" and bullshit lore that they're making up on the spot just to shill more spaceship jpegs. 6 years of development and not one second of actual gaming shown at the convention? Scripted tech demos are anything but open communication about the state of development.

ManofManyAliases posted:scaled to 60 or 80 clients How exactly are you going to have "epic space battles" with 60 to 80 clients in an instance when the majority of "Ships" in the "Game" require multiple crew? If your answer is "crew slots can be piloted by AI" then what is the point of actually having more player crew slots? Are players more effective than the base AI? Will the instance limit be Client based or Ship based? How will the ships be balanced if at 80 limit is for clients, because then it would be pointless to ever have anyone manning guns in your ship if you could have another ship in the fight? If the battles are capped at 80 then is PVP going to be restricted to "battleground" type instances only and no open world PVP? If it's open world and you somehow get dragged into an instance when you go into combat (I don't know how this actually works), then you can guarantee that combat will turn into some cat and mouse where one side just tries to dogpile the other until they have the ship majority. If players have bases, will there be separate instances when you want to attack/defend a base? Again, will you have it be limited by players or ships, and will it be first come first serve, or just select your top 40 ships/players? My point is... a persistent/MMO game based around the vastness of space with an instance capacity of 60-80 clients or ships would suck major dongs

Don't backers wave around the flag of "it's a player funded development" or some similar poo poo? If so, do the bigger backers get access to see the company's financials on some private board or something?

I'm kind of tired of working in finance and I live close to the LA office. Should I go ahead and apply for one of the lead engineer jobs at RSI? I mean I don't actually have the skills for that position right now but I'm pretty sure I could pound out a masters in electrical engineering in a few years because of my math background. I also don't have any samples in my portfolio so I guess I could just hire a freelance firm to pad it a bit with some of the design concepts that I've come up with On the plus side I've done some background acting in movies and commercials, so I have more experience than some of their other key employees

How many "alpha" backers are there in total? Approximately? And they can only get like 20-30 people on a server at a time and not have it blow up? This is going to be great

not to mention they are light years away from getting the servers to be able to handle any type of MMO capacity, which means that the majority of "features" (including insurance) are not even applicable in their They want the economy level of Eve without the realization that Eve only works because it's a single server universe. This large of a scope would be hilariously poo poo with multiple servers as done in WoW. Basically, the design route that they want to go in can only work in a single universe MMO type game. Which is effectively impossible because of hardware limitations; which is why Eve has ti-di so that servers can actually keep up with thousands of people fighting in a single system. As soon as they finally announce that Star Citizen will be smaller or private servers, it's going to be a loving torrential downpour of tears because all of these jpegs that people have sunk thousands of dollars into will be worth even less than they currently are

Rad Russian posted:Goons aren't really a force they used to be anyway at the heigh of Eve. Would have never made much noise in SC even if it was actually a real thing. Just check out the MMO forum for the sadness. Last major PvP game released was Archeage, where after a fun and wild beta, the goon leadership promptly declared fishing pacts with all the pubbie guilds. Then started outright banning goons for killing or griefing pubbies, which was really the whole point of the game. "You killed this random internet person in a PvP game while he was fishing!!! You did not review the terms of these 100 fishing agreements to make sure that this particular person was actually covered! BAN". Then everyone quit. This is mostly due to burnout; waiting for a new replacement to Eve... If SC was a real thing I'd expect goons to come out in droves because of the pristine salt mines that are just begging to be tapped.

The Titanic posted:If SC comes out as it appears to be heading, even if it were fully functional I can’t see droves of people anymore. Even barring the toxic community, manually loading cargo boxes is going to kill people alone. Oh, for sure. The current path of Star Citizen (lol) is total poo poo and goons aren't going to come out of the woodwork to "play". I was referencing the Literal Dream Version that people are throwing thousands of dollars at; if that game were actually produced, the swarm would emerge again.

Titanic, I take it you never played with Eve goons? The point isn't to partake in dumb mechanics that sperglords froth over. The point is to procedurally decimate any fragments of enjoyment that such players would get from stacking boxes hours on end. Imagine said sperglord builds a nice neat box fort to show off to all his friend. He happens to be streaming his box building escapades on twitch to his usual crowd of 4 people while giving them the step by step rundown of what he's building. Except today, he gets a fifth viewer... First, you start off slow. Offer some help moving boxes from a-b so sperg can focus on his cargobay fort. Maybe even make a suggestion or two to keep him from tunnel visioning on the precise measurements of the ramp into his fort (sperglords has ptsd from avocado testing). Once his box fort is done, offer praise and applause along with the two other viewers and bot. Make him feel good about himself and talk about how lucky he is to have such a great shop and box fort. Talk to him about always dreaming about having such a ship, but you only had a part time job at McDonald's so you were to RL poor to afford one.... Once you're on his ship, you open the hangar doors from the inside and a swarm of shittily equipped idiots appear that wreck the fort and steal all his crates... And then commissar the sperglord live on his own stream.
