someone bought me a copy of this game and on my first game i got out of bed fully clothed, found the ship getter, got into the airlock, failed to change into my space clothes, died and uninstalled the game.

The owners of the space ghetto station you start in are incredibly cheap, it's hard vacuum everywhere except personal cabins and the flight controllers compartment

Your goal is to trade / pirate / find bags of money so you can move to a station that ISN'T so unutterably cheap, like with a .75 atmosphere cafeteria

Perhaps if you hold your breath by furiously jabbing the space key, you can take advantage of the hot pepper burrito you had for lunch and fart your way back to your cabin (yeah they didn't bother splurging for grav plating either)

So, did your ship continue on to Thurston Howell the 3rd or whatever they call that planet?

Can you take your helmet off while floating in space just for giggles?

I just thought of a new idea SC players can make money: follow ships going out of orbit, follow them until their pilots feel suicidal and leave the ship mid-flight, then pick them up, then offer to take them to the planet their ship will eventually crash on for big space bucks. :)

I honestly have no idea. When I tried to respawn it it said location unknown so probably, or it exploded or something.

If it was traveling at relativistic speed and hit a planet, it should have caused quite a mess.. "THOUSANDS DIE AS ABANDONED SPACECRAFT IMPACTS AT LIGHTSPEED IN THE HEART OF SAN JOSE" or something

Billy MacFarlane made two fatal errors.

1. His project had an end date, and
2. He pissed off actual rich people with actual connections, not friendless computer touchers with more disposable income than sense.

3. He managed to cobble together a photoshoot / video where people had a great time, then his head got big and he thought he could create an event by doing the same poo poo and scaling it up a notch. He used this photoshoot/video to sell it, but totally disregarded facts like trying to build infrastructure on an island that barely had electricity and literally no plumbing.

Doesn't really dovetail well to making a space pew pew game, but from what Schreier was saying it looks like Croberts is essentially doing the same thing; thinking of a grand vision and then hiring incompetents and inexperienced help to get it done, as well as mismanaging that help.

This is what happens when Croberts pounds his fist on the desk during a design meeting and demands "I want boarding a ship to be an EMOTIONAL experience, dammit!"

yeah better put a heart rate sensor on the UI, its definitely relevant gameplay information to help you make informed tactical decisions

Failing to monitor your heart rate properly will result in your butt being unable to make a proper seal in the zero-g toilet, and then WHAM! you've been ejected naked out of your ship again. You know, like that 'IMPERFECT SEAL' thing in Interstellar

I like that the article neglected to mention that the 2 “mostly finished” planets are completely barren and devoid of any content.

in the Croberts universe, "mostly finished" means there's at least one building with a working toilet that will eject you into space by propelling you nude through the planet's core out into the cold cold universe to drift forever.

Imagine waiting for the space station to rotate so that the planet comes into view, then riding the motorcycle screaming at full speed out the exit, what will happen to the bike when it hits the surface?

Or people will wait until the exit is facing the next planet, then jumping out in the motorcycle to see how long it will take to get to another planet? Heat death of the universe?

Or launch them at fighters and see how much damage they inflict?

Devils Affricate posted:

From what I could tell when I played during one of their free weekends a while back, SC doesn't even attempt to do planetary-level physics like in KSP. Your ship can get close to a planet, but it'll just hover there in space, unaffected by the gravity well. You don't have to maintain an orbit or anything (and if you tried, you wouldn't curve around, you'd just go straight off into space). Then if you step out of your ship in this situation, your character immediately starts falling straight down toward the surface.

Hey, it's a new Croberts invention, selective gravity. The planet won't attract anything as big as a ship, but a tank, bike, or you? Sure!

And as we saw in the video, it's Warner Bros. cartoon physics. Drop out of orbit in your tank and instead of blasting a 60 ft crater in the ground, you just bounce around and knock some rocks loose.

That just seems shallow and stupid- especially when Croberts & Co can charge the bereaved a fee to have their beloved's name on a space station, freighter, or garbage scow if they so choose. (Croberts already claims all the planet names)

It shows you why Shart Citzen is taking so long to officially release.. it's because every single employee is trying to follow those rules and failing miserably.. after an hour at the coffee station burning their hands and getting their pants wet, they eventually give up and walk 15 minutes to the nearest Starbucks and say 'Put it on Chris's tab' then dejectedly return to their desk to play with a mo-cap of Gary Oldman picking his teeth.
