That wasn't security - that was a real-life manifestation of subsumption AI coded by Chris Roberts himself, which he could do much faster than his employees, and he absolves himself of that.

You got a warning because even in real life no Star Citizen code works.

Stay frosty, commando. You're surrounded by Derek Smarts but the good word of the hot bear must be heard.

Just got released by the security at Dreamhack Mtl. I was incarcerated for crimes against the state of the game.

Indeed.

Ok, so they claim to be open development and this is part of the marketing surrounding that, letting the backers know how they are changing things, but if they think this is going to improve things they are insane. If they can't handle 3 month release cycles they are not going to handle the much more complex "staggered" 6 month cycles.

Sure, it will give them more time on specific features, they can spend more time in QA (and therefore increase the amount of time on each feature!) but they are going to be walking on glass in relation to their codebase.

Its going to increase the risk of regressions massively unless they separate tasks out between the two development branches very carefully. Imagine if a dev on the "A" branch makes a change to a method that the "B" branch is not aware of until time it comes to merge.

I will forgive the thread this time with regards to your faulty memories and bad opinions about my hairstyle but I must interject.



THEYVE ALREADY ATTEMPTED STAGGERED RELEASE DATES.


It loving flopped and then went back to fully developing on patch. Bonus points if you remember how they initially focused everyone on Star Citizen then switched to Squadron 42 for lile 8 months and then split and then refocused the team AGAIN

Secondly, let me skip cutscenes.

I dont really give a poo poo as to why anythings happening at the start and your basic tutorial is so boring and plodding that I can only wonder how anyone still convinces devs that we need 20 mins of text, audio, and mindless walking/escorting until i can shoot someone in a shootman game

Not given you a means to test a character first before selecting it as your personal avatar is also nuts in a 3rd game in a series.

Solid 5 out of 10 work from a state of the art advanced studio breaking the boundaries of gaming by reinovating absolutely nothing and potentially calling decade-old techniques something different like super server mesh operated cooperative landing and take-off modulation theory, otherwise known as drop-in drop-out coop.


Now, Star Citizen on the other hand...

Id fix Star Citizen by claiming Valve has partnered with me to make Half-Life 3 and we would use the super advanced tech from behind the scenes that nobody has seen yet to make a super Half Life 3 where you play as Gordon Friedman exploring ppanets and trying to find the Vortigaunt homeworld

A combination of what Chris Roberts was saying day one, DREAMS.TXT and you right now literally thinking more about the implementation and implication of this system than CIG ever has.

The Roman system is designed for slaves and non-romans.



In Star Citizen, you play as a person who was born to parents born in the UEE, so the Roman system doesn't apply and is stupid.
