Rotten Red Rod posted:But, I mean, specifically, what does insurance do? Is it just, no insurance means you lose your ship if it's blown up, and insurance means you always get an unlimited number of free copies of your ship? Is it limited in number? Have they ever explained it at all? Some people claim that LTI is basically "just a little extra", because it's so widespread and as such insurance won't get used much and will be cheap. Some other people claim that LTI is essential, because why would you even sell it otherwise. Both people say they are absolutely right even when their opinions directly clash (like in many other theory fields of SC's mechanics). CI~G never bothered to clarify which people are right, just sells more LTI.

Scruffpuff posted:I'm blown away by the same. No Man's Sky was hyped, released, and the guy got absolutely eviscerated. Even though they went back and vastly improved the game, they still get poo poo for that first disappointment. Chris Roberts promises infinity itself, delivers pure horseshit, and he's loving rewarded and has his rear end licked. I've never seen anything like it. They'll get poo poo from me (and no buy) until Sean Murray apologizes properly. They just shoo-shooed him under the carpet to stay low and that's something that "decent update improvements" can't fix for me.

It's not causing me any sleepless nights either as I have other games (Elite, KanColle and Dead Cells these days mostly). But to me, in the end, it's about principle. I understand others see it differently and won't blame them for purchasing it, though, glad they enjoy it, even. To each its own in this regard.

Hav posted:Yeah, it's just that whole axis of condemning something that you haven't purchased. It's no biggie. Uhhh, I think you misunderstand, I don't condemn NMS, I actually think it might be a bit of a fun (though probably not much for me anyway, I always found colourful 30s sci-fi a bit weird personally). I condemn NMS's main developer's behaviour. The fact that he's connected to NMS is unfortunate, but as it happens, I won't support his profits by buying NMS. Hav posted:I won't give Randy Pitchford any more money, but it's been a sequence of lovely behaviour. Brad Wardell too. I'm less bothered by Sean Murray being thrust into a spotlight and making vague promises given the end product. I certainly can't speak to what happens to a ten man studio that attracts the attention of Sony entertainment. I wouldn't call direct "Yes" to "Will you be able to see each other" a vague promise, but whatever. Hav posted:Did you know that 'To each his own' (Jedem das Seine) is engraved over the entrance to Buchenwald? People keep trying to use it in advertising, and there's usually a bit of an outcry over it. No, I genuinely didn't. Read up on the Wiki about the topic and it's pretty... fascinating, though seemingly the controversy is very limited to German sphere? As I am not German and can't speak it, I doubt I could learn about it from that way (and I haven't been to Buchenwald, only Terezin and even that briefly). I don't think most of the world cares about the phrase in this regard, though, and instead takes it as "Whatever you do, props to you, whatever I do, props to me, we can disagree on stuff"

Sarsapariller posted:Nevermind my favorite moment is this one, where the artist walks us through his design of a game space and not once does he mention any actual gameplay purpose. Instead it's all about psychologically felating the ship owner. I kinda find it interesting that it seems that the dev is intentionally avoiding showing himself up in the mirror (awkward stop before entering its field, turning around just in time to avoid it). What is there so ugly that we can't see ourselves? FPS drop? Test textures? Nothing at all?

colonelwest posted:The state it’s in now is the minimum of what it should have been at launch in 2014, and maybe then Frontier could have built it into a real modern BDSSE. But years of incremental improvements haven’t changed the basic emptiness of the game, and space legs will probably be it’s last big hoorah, which will ultimately add nothing of any real value. A friendly reminder that Elite got ~2M from Kickstarter and had initial (cca. late 2012 - early 2013) budget of roughly 10M (so I imagine 2M KS, 8M funding). They got some more funding and profits later - but that's it, later. Initial Elite is a game you get with this funding - you don't have 10M and start planning GTA V content-sized game, unless you are Chris Roberts. SC had similar budget (they hit 10M in June 2013) and they delivered... well, no actual game yet. If Elite had a budget of ~100M, your words might've been true - because that's roughly the finances that have been put into the game up until now (only my guess).

Rotten Red Rod posted:Ah, that makes sense. I'm just curious what the specifics of the no-cargo thing is. It's pretty funny that'd acknowledge a bug like that in his hilarious Mr. badass speech. It's not a bug, even, that's what is funny about it. It's CIG trying to "balance" ships in the most backwards and arbitrary way possible. You can see too much from your ship? Let's put this strut beam in way. Your ship can haul people and shoot well? Let's give you no cargo even though your ship is huge as heck. Etc.

Awesome Fidelity posted:
Define "near term". If it's within a year, then yes. If it's within 2 - 3 years, then I'd say no. Remember at the start of 2018 they were almost broke, which means they must've spent close to 200M by then (203M in, 193M out was the report). And they didn't downscale since, so you can do a simple approximation: 14M start + 46M investment + 55M funding = 115M in vs average of previous years spending, 193 / 5 (2012 wasn't full year and the expenses were laughable back then) times 1.5 is ~58M out. So the current funds should be in ballpark of 50 - 60 M, almost exactly at the half of the funds since start of 2018. Meaning the ballpark says they should be at ~0 at roughly start of 2021 (probably a bit later, since the bulk of this year's funding is yet to come) - unless they get significantly more funding or another investment by then, of course.

Scruffpuff posted:But does it mean it was implemented initially? Or do even "not implemented" features graduate to "stagnant" when there's no progress or mention? I believe both In Alpha and Not Implemented can turn into Stagnant, yes. Completed, Compromised and Broken are basically in "finished" state and can't become Stagnant anymore (though Completed can turn into Compromised). You can simply filter Stagnant to see many of these were never implemented at all, btw.

Rotten Red Rod posted:Yeah I take issue with a lot of the choices in the classification of stuff on this tracker. Especially under Broken - there's a lot of stuff there that pretty clearly should be under Not Implemented, Stagnant, or Compromised. I'd say at least half the "Broken" list doesn't make sense to describe as a "broken" feature. Fix it, then, it's a collaborative thing (see the link at the top to GDocs form with fix proposal). Though admittably, lots of it is basically "it was never delivered and we have no idea where it stands right now, so we can't label it properly, just estimate", I believe.

Not to say that there aren't some fanatics that go overboard with stuff like "Braben lied forever" and "It's a scam, because they didn't fulfill 100 % of what they promised, but only 95 %". Good examples being Oldschool Shadowrunner in KS comments and NorthEasternNomad in /r/starcitizen_refunds (actually not sure they aren't the same person, but the writing seems different).

As a result, it's literally taking every one of CIG's promises at face value and merging them into what would be considered a 100% completed project. Well, there are two caveats to this tracker. First, it's mostly copied from politician fact-checker, where it's usually come-and-go functionality, just for single elections and then nobody cares. Nobody prepared it deeply for ten years plus

SC, the most played space/sci-fe game on Twitch (after SC2, SC, Warframe, HALO MCC, RimWorld and HALO 5). Checkmate, goonies! Actually, at the time of the writing of this post, it has whopping five more viewers than Elite: Dangerous and they are directly neighbouring. Best spent 300+M ever for 329 Twitch viewers.

tooterfish posted:That's not Prague, that's the pre-fabbed wondercity turned internment camp that is Utalek/Golem City. It's Útulek (Refuge in Czech) and it's placed on outskirts of Prague (Golem comes from Prague myths about Rabbi Löwe, thus Golem City). I can actually confirm that while wonky at places (other than this screenshot), the localization on this is done fairly nicely. On the left the letters say "Fruits" (Ovoce) and "Vegetables" (Zelenina) exactly as is used in shops, on the middle right you can read "Water" (Voda). To me nothing stands out as unbelievable in that picture, maybe aside of the cables - in such slums, cables would be fast sold for scraps if left hanging like that.

Nyast posted:(...) But if we're comparing with massive multiplayer, open-world games, that have to handle a large amount of locations (...) Yeah, but Star Citizen... isn't that, right? Or at least not yet. And maybe that's the reason why it's not becoming that - because open world MMOs focus on gameplay and variety of locations and game loops, not on fidelity. SC is a single player asset game that tries and fails to become open-world MMO.

Tbh, I expected lots of repetitive requests. But no, this is Star Citizen, so basically every post is adding new and new issues that aren't in the other posts (and in many case other people say they were fixed - apparently not - or that they can't reproduce them - too bad). I got to around 50 until they started repeating decently.
