Do the aerodynamic properties of a ship influence the cut scene loading time when doing a planetary landing? I am kinda new to dream development.

Welcome to our thread friend

Which road led you here?

Was hugely interested in the projects early kickstarter days, then forgot about it. Saw a thread on teamliquid and asked about the whole thing. First heard about how south everything is going. After a little googling it was frontier forums and SA. My god, my heart was broken.

Gently go fiddle yourself, Chris.

With the launch of ME:A, no way we will see anything SQ42 gameplay-related for the next 4 months or so.

I think a lot of criticism originate from STEM people. When Science 3.0 comes online, it will make researching in RL quite pointless. Due to the 9 to 1 NPC ratio, even less people will be needed.

When you look at the founding graph, many drop out of college/uni daily and invest into their future with a completionist package. It all makes perfect sense.

Flying into atmo with all wings blown off/maneuvering thrusters damaged and seeing if that does anything. Such as having the gravity pull me to my death. Starfarer tumbling out of control would be incredible.

Looking forward to the meltdowns when people are going to be teleported via a loading screen into the makos.
I am loving it.


[–]Magdalornew user/low karma 9 Punkte vor 15 Stunden

I kinda find turbulence in atmo-entry exciting, for some reason ... I would love really FEEL that I am entering an atmosphere, and if CIG manage to take this feeling at their level of quality, that would be pretty badass ! ^

My theory is this:

1. CIG is bankrupt and we will all know it from backers not getting refunds or some mega leak
2. people cry about lost money
3. All shills/brain dead people/the rest of CIG will just vanish
4. we wont get much entertainment out of it
5. half a year long "what can we learn from CIG" articles all over the gaming "press", until our eyes bleed

--> we should enjoy every fuckup from Clown Inc., imo we are at the peak with this thread (or near it at least).

You're probably not far off tbh, all the recent langauge from CIG screams of money trouble. From the subtle "please keep spending if you want to support us" to the aggresive "each item ships at individual costs". It all adds up and when laid out is indicating a fairly plausible red flag.

I don't think we'll get entertainment out of it's collapse, but the entertainment will come from those who have been whiteknighting it relentlessly without paying heed to the flags and gently caress ups for years. It'll be their time to shine and they will be more defensive of their "investments" than ever before, the threads of reddit will run (rage) red as they collectively fall on their fideliteous swords and then the reality will hit them and silence will reign over them. :)

If i had invested in this farce, i would just go into submarine mode a few months with my social media accounts/forum posts. I really hope you are right.

Is it considered a witchhunt if one starts to collect nice snippets to throw it back to the whiteknights faces? Should we start a quote database?

IV.Internal schedules, the ones you will now be privy to, tend to have aggressive dates to help the team focus and scope their tasks, especially in the case of tech development.

AutismVaccine

We, as the big fans of CIG we are, should help out Chris Roberts with ideas to generate additional income. Imo every dollar paid to CIG is a dollar well spent.

1. Cosmetic skins: They should dedicate an entire department to develop skins. Also things like sunglasses or piercings should be considered.

2. Somekind of XP booster is needed, if there is a skill progression system. People who work 60 hrs/week should have a chance vs people who play a lot.

3. Various fees for shiphandling should be introduced. I am thinking about docking fees (like per hour or day), taxes depending on used weaponry,
fees to be able to fly in UEC space (the same thing for all other empires/factions), fees to support your faction. People can pay that easily with the real money to
game money conversion.

4. There should be special job positions available (ie: station chief, weapon chief for a sector or system) for people who spend more money than others.
Those people are more involved in the universe and should be able to influence the economy/society/war. Working in those jobs should require a daily/weekly payment
to CIG to make sure its taken seriously.

5. Imo CIG should use more ads ingame. All scifi movies are always full of colorful, in your face ads, why should be Chris' universe be different. The should use the
helmet HUD for it. Also who cares if an advertisement plays on your ship control monitors when you fly in space. Just consider it realism.

EDIT: I really want SC to happen, so please just ignore the few problems they have with marketing and buy the new ships. No new found company runs smooth everytime, our job is to support CIG to the fullest.

To the goon haters: Just consider how much further you all be ahead in the game if you spend money now. With the advanced AI crew it should be possible to command a few ships alone, so the standard mass ship goon strat shouldnt work.

Just like politicians:
Many words, not much said.

When you apply logic:
There is no product yet, and most of the potential customers bought the product already. There are no patented engines or tools to sell or license to other entities.
Gameplay wise, so many ships and money are already pumped into the economy. Good luck balancing the mess.

I really wanna know how many paid shills are there. Also, how much money Gamestar is getting from CIG.

EDIT: HOLY MELON, how did they get $2,626,614 in April? I thought only Japan slaughters whales this hard.
