I tried SC the last time it was free a few months ago. I don't think I've seen the bug that bothered me the most mentioned here before. The animation for head bounce in first person view was applied to the HUD and not the camera; when you walked the camera was always level and the HUD bounced up and down. How hard of a bug is that to fix? Did they fix it?

I want to play a video game where all cargo boxes contain real physics-enabled objects while they sit around in a warehouse.

Did they ever figure out how to get more than 42 players on a server?

You should be able to hide a corpse in your luggage - if you chop it up first. That way you can sneak the body out of the space hotel without getting a hit to your reputation.

edit: I'd also be ok with dissolving them in a bathtub if that's easier for the devs to implement.

Elite:dangerous is free on epic right now so I tried it. Only did the tutorial and the first cargo mission. I quit when it looked like I was going to have to jump to three different stars to get to my next destination. Obviously I didn't give it a chance, but I don't get whats fun about warping from star to star, then watching an auto docking sequence over and over. Where's the space rape?

$350 in 2013 would be ~$391 today. By raising the price by $100 it will be properly adjusted for inflation by the time they get around to creating the 3D model in another 8 years. This makes about as much logical sense as any other theory the fans have come up with.

Gabriel Knight 2 was FMV. It wouldn't have been so bad, but they replaced Tim Curry's voice work from the first game with the actor who played a coffee shop waiter in Frasier. Also, Mostly didn't make an appearance in 2, which was disappointing.

I hated the wing commander games as a kid. The cutscenes were interesting at the time, but the actual gameplay was so boring I couldn't play for more that a few minutes.

You'd think they'd eventually close off the one route everyone uses to escape space prison, but I guess with nine hour sentences there isn't any real reason to lock things down.

If you have an hour, this is a fantastic deep dive into the lore of the UEE.

Or the shallow generic excuse to sell people 400$ jpgs of spaceships.

He spends 60 minutes calling the UEE lazy and complaining nothing happened in the thousand year history between now and the SC time period. Then he ends the video claiming the Top Gear knockoff is inspired and something he's never seen before? A thousand years in the future and people can't get enough 2000s-era British TV?

So I wrote a Star Citizen Novel..... posted:
Here's a link to the rough draft (I hope y'all like it).
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTCaQScp9CamRmNx5z9Pd_RhBlYQp749oHOkz3oL57BDM0zY1xivub7RiislvuAt088z2fPVinaBtQJ/pub
Now I'm interested in actually publishing it. I want to get another community member to do the cover art, and maybe some illustrations. HOWEVER before I do that I wanted to get in touch with RSI to see if I can make this an "Official" star citizen story, or at least get the rights to sell it as fan fiction. But I ain't got no hecking clue how to get in touch with RSI about anything other than an account reset. So will y'all please upvote this so it'll make it up the food chain?



Eh, no thanks.

I read last night that server meshing version 1 is coming by 2022. There will be no perceptible change for the players in v1 though. Turns out there is still a 50 player server limit in PU.

They are spending so much time simulating virtual NPCs, but it seems really shallow and adds little imo. I don't care that med packs are twelve credits more today because piracy on Port Olaf got set to 6 out of 10.

Maybe all the data the sim generates will hide the lifeless, 50 player capped servers or something.
