look at this guy who couldn't wrap his head around "you're a soldier who was brainwashed using alien DNA then traumatised into thinking he's somebody entirely different and also having episodes that make him think he never existed in the first place but must defeat his former commander who has used alien DNA to clone himself a body after he died and is now trying to fulfill the alien's goal of eradicating all life on the planet in order to turn it into a spaceship."

I disagree that its a scam. You don't employ that many people and kill yourselves in crunch if you were just looking to make a scam buck off someone.

That's one image from my old game room (from the old house back in 2008) which didn't even contain 5% of my full (it's all in a/c storage now) library. It's the only image I could find with Echelon (lower right) in it.

Javelins are supposed to be the 5th most powerfull units in game and heaviest unit (so far, still alpha) you can purchase on the market. The only 4 class above them being cruiser, battlecruiser, escort carrier and bengal class carrier. It stand above the Idris and polaris corvette, is supposed to take 20+players and hundred of NPC to crew and can only "park" near a station, not dock with them.

It has been theorycrafted that eventual early guild warfare would boil down to "who has the most javelins wins."

Its the ship that you could only buy during a special sales in limited numbers or if you buy the completitionist "fellate Christ Roberts" package you earn the right to buy a javelin for another 2,500 dollaridoos. Just remember that the ship is supposed to be sold to you without any modules or weapons aside the basic systems.

SA is a dead gay comedy forum full of pathetic losers who didn't leave when the forum became dead and gay. Anyone who posts here is only doing so because they have to pay to find friends, and subsequently most Goons are willing to do anything in order to maintain that connection. Typically this means you'll get a few "Elite" members who create a framework and then bring in the rest of the gibbering hordes to gently caress everything up. They're basically locusts. Of course SC is special because years ago SA tried to take over the game and turn it into another EVE clone so that they could dominate everything. CIG told them to gently caress off and they've been butthurt about it ever since.

Super Mario Galaxy had a very good design document I bet, that specifically outlined how the gravity is supposed to work with the gameplay. Gravity was pretty important to the game itself.

Star Citizen probably still doesn't have a design document. Gravity should be a critical component that is well outlined in how it will function in the game itself. Unfortunately all CIG can "imagine" is fidelity, and they say physics without understanding physics.

SMG was probably designed from ground up revolving around its game structure.

SC was designed from ground up to look pretty using an off the shelf engine suited only for making things look pretty.

SMG is a video game that can be played now, and took about 7 years to develop from nothing to a full game.

SC is a barely tech demo that does none of its promises five years into development.

Time for some stories:

So I fired up Bridge Crew for the first time today. After a brief time playing around in the tutorials I decided to launch a single player mission rather than inflict myself on anyone else as a bridge officer. The basic setup for single player is that you are in the captain's chair, and generic AI npc's are sitting at all the other stations. You get the objectives and the big picture and you can touch various buttons on your chair to pull up additional information, and send commands to the npc crew by gesturing at them and picking off a radial menu. You can also take the stations over and do the jobs yourself, but the AI are generally competent. Except for Ensign Rao. gently caress that guy.

Our first mission is some kind of shakedown cruise- it's possible that Starfleet did not trust me to handle their fully armed "Science vessel" after some incidents during simulation. Apparently you shouldn't tell your instructor "Today is a good day to die!" the second he hands you control of the helm. So we're out doing the usual star trek poo poo- scanning a bunch of hosed-up cargo ships that all seem to have flown into a space minefield(!) somehow. Let's talk about space-mines for a minute. Shouldn't these be really easy to avoid? Like, in a normal minefield, you've got to walk across the flat surface that they are presumable buried under. But in space you can just fly around them. Well, you could. Ensign Rao apparently came from the Khan school of piloting, the one where they don't teach you about the third goddamn dimension. Also for some reason he had a disturbing tendency to read the "Engage target" order as "Fly directly at the target and rub it on your cheeks like a downy bunny."

So this predictably leads to several moments of panic as I, Engineering, and Tactical are all scrambling to make up for Helm's incompetence. I boost phaser range up past 20km and order tactical to begin sniping the mines out of the sky long before Ensign Rao can give them a hug. Crisis passed, we come to our first downed cruiser. Something something radiation, something something quantum neutrinos, beam us off the ship, I'm not really listening... wait, did they say scuttle? I get to blow up a friendly ship, on my first day in starfleet! They'll even thank me for it! I order tactical to begin beaming everyone aboard and begin counting down the seconds until I can issue that sweet sweet fire order. Finally, the moment arrives.

Three problems with that, as it turns out. First of all, Ensign Rao has not given up on his commitment to personally inspecting the loving grundle of every goddamn space object that I target, and while we've been beaming people aboard, he has crept within 5 km of this ship. Second, ships tend to make... really big explosions when you blow them up. Safe range for this thing is like 25km. I'm not a nuclear physicist but I'm pretty sure that's a whole loving lot of megatons, especially in space where there's basically nothing to transmit the energy. Third, that whole thing with beaming people aboard? Apparently it requires lowering the shields. Tactical didn't deem that important information, I guess. They also didn't feel like raising them was a high priority afterwards.

So this thing goes up like someone left the gas on over the weekend in grandma's apartment while we're right up its rear end in a top hat with absolutely no shields. The entire bridge kicks like Ensign Rao finally got that close encounter he keeps aiming for, and suddenly half of my bridge is on fire and the other half is eyeing the escape pods. Somehow, miraculously, the ship holds together. I shove Engineering out of the way and take over the repair crews- 26% hull and virtually every system is crippled. But whatever! It's my first day on the job, I'm sure every captain comes back from his shakedown cruise with just a little more than one quarter of his ship still displaying the original paint. I give all of my crewmen the stink eye and explain that nobody is ever going to mention this. Nobody. Also, I resolve that Ensign Rao is going to have an unfortunate airlock accident the second we get off duty.

Damage contained, for the most part, I sit back down in the captain's chair. Looks like there's one more ship they want me to go inspect before I get back to base. Okay, fine, how bad can it-

It's last reported position was just across the border in the Neutral Zone.

Ship name: The Kobayashi Maru.

Oh, just gently caress me then. Ensign Rao, go prepare a second seat in that airlock. I think my tour's ending here.
