It's been bugging me for a while, but how does search and rescue work?

Does the lost person just have to log in to their account, and spend all their play time floating helplessly in space, or stranded in desolate nothingness on a planet, for days on end, until one of the search and rescue players manages to find them? Sounds like tons of fun.

Batte tax.

Try posting a troll that is cool and funny. For example, pretend to have secret evidence that Facts Are Useless is a Star Citizen backer, and then once you've worked everyone up with that, post a link to a picture of your balls as evidence. With a little creativity you can do so much better than obsessively posting grandma's first concern troll attempt every six hours, each more boring than the last.

Difference is that I can take my character, leave the ship and walk right unto a space station immediately after landing. What happens in E:D? You just "transfer" to another ship?

The beauty of the Star Citizen way is that also any random dude can walk straight into your expensive chariot as it sits there and either take it straight away or hang around in the back until you've taken off, shoot you in the back of the head and then take it. So it's all a whole bunch of effort to make stealing extremely easy and preventing stealing extremely hard. Awesome!

To be honest I don't quite see the base lifting, nebula is a rip though. Maybe if a commando layered them on top of each other or something.

The struts on the side of the main base building are identical, as is the three tone pattern. The rest of it has been chopped up pretty good but that side remains as a telling detail.

I guess we already knew that all of Star Citizen's concepts are just blatantly ripped off of other media what with sandworms etc but it's great that it goes down to the smallest details.

I'm still pondering upon how CR could estimate a mid-December release date for 3.0 which was only 4 months away during Gamescom (end-August).

It's now been 5 months and we know for a fact that, with 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 coming in February and March respectively (and those being estimates), 3.0 could at best be out by April or May. Though a more realistic date would be towards June/July - nearly a year later after Gamescom.

While software development is complex and unexpected things happen which cause delays. Being a software developer myself, I know this first-hand. However, I have a hard time believing that they honestly thought December was a reasonable release date for 3.0 - especially now that the whole team behind SC have had years of experience (both in the industry and with working together). They should've been accustomed to their pace of development by now and give more accurate estimates. There is a difference between optimistic release dates and impossible ones.

TL;DR - I'm confident that CIG are deliberately giving unreasonable dates to the public because it is in their interest to do so. Some will say that CR is just bad at estimating stuff, but I find that hard to believe; at least when it goes to such degree of inaccuracy. I think it's more plausible that CR would rather give December release date, knowing it won't happen, than saying "Yeah, 3.0 will be Q1/Q2 of next year".

Highest voted comment in reddit post is sanity about how deliberately misleading CIG is on progress dates :toot:

You'd hope even the densest citizens could figure out that if 3.0 was supposed to be released in december and yet in january they are still not even finished working out what the schedule for 3.0 even, they must have been flat out lying when they ever said december. And some of the are! :toot:

I like how the arms and box blatantly clip through the top shelf like the first 10cm aren't even there but the box delicately rests the very lip of the second shelf with the box's center of gravity well over the edge like there's an extra invisible 30cm on that one. Gonna look great!

It blows me away that their website has no disclosure of the change in scope and still has misleading statements about 100 systems at launch. Well actually it doesn't because I've seen this farce long enough to completely expect it, but if I was used to sane video games it would blow me away.
