I just can’t tell what’s real and what’s not anymore. Although I guess in Star citizen’s case nothing is real.

DigitalPenny posted:remember when ship were so slow to make because they needed to get all the damage states in an all this other super tech jazz. Imagine having to go back and redo the 1000 ships or what ever the have released to add air pipes into them. This right here was the first thing to go through my mind when I read Chris' bullshit. All the ships they've made need to be completely redone with these new components and vents and poo poo. How much work, how many years, is that going to take? Wouldn't it have been significantly easier to build all these gameplay elements and then the ships? I guess not, Chris knows best.

WaltherFeng posted:The peak fidelity was in SWAT series where you had to consider how many bullets were in each magazine when you reload and that probably took someone 15 minutes to implement on their coffee break. SOCOM did this. It was interesting going into a firefight with one full mag and 4 mags with between 2-7 rounds each. But now I’ll be able to hide in the middle of a fire fight, unload my near empty mags and make 1 full one! Revolutionary! But an Idris.

I'm actually surprised by the progress they haven't made on squadron 56. It's amazing and incomprehensible to me that after all this time and money, they have absolutely nothing. Hasn't someone been churning out levels or designing cut scenes?

JcDGAF posted:Guys - I backed in 2015 and a couple years later was filled with regret, but trying it a month or so ago have noticed dramatic changes. Mainly stability. It's def still alpha, but I don't crash for HOURS (my biggest deterrent previously) and run a steady 30+fps. The capital ship content is raid levels of challenge requiring a group (most in multi crew ships), bounty missions have decent payouts for small squads via mission share, and the org content I've played has been some of the most immersive with custom squad payouts via the player trade system. Coming from NMS and a little elite, this is much more group focused content. If you're looking for a complete game, keep waiting; but if you're backer, now is not a bad time to try it again. Night and day difference from before. If you're on the fence, just wait to try on a free fly. Is this satire?

Their "plan" to implement real materials modeling and stress/strain stuff might be the dumbest thing SC has ever talked about implementing, and that says a lot. The true believers are going to eat that poo poo up. Does everyone remember Red Faction? Some of the guys at Volition had to go take basic architecture and civil engineering classes because they didn't know how to build poo poo in a realistically simulated environment without all their poo poo falling down or being ugly as gently caress or just horribly unstable. Those were buildings (something we've been making forever) on Mars (1/3rd gravity, so it's easier to make stuff that doesn't fall down) in a game series that absolutely prioritized fun over realism and wasn't afraid to sacrifice reality at a moment's notice for cool factor. Now expand that to spaceships. My brain hurts just thinking about it. In order for this to work, someone at CIG has to be capable of designing and engineering fully functional spaceships. Literally. And even if it works, it will still run into a billion edge case scenarios where it just doesn't work. Unless CIG cheats and creates some class of new materials. Things with unrealistic young's modulus', expansion coefficients, thermal efficiencies, hardness...... Things that are unobtainable in the materials we use now. They could call it Unobtainium, and use it throughout their spaceships to avoid running into pitfalls like "why do all my ships split in half the moment our maneuvering jets kick on," and "My ship crumples like a tin can whenever I fire the on-keel rail gun with the engines running," and "My off-keel railgun detached the moment I fired it."

cmdrk posted:Obviously CIG will not do anything they promise, but just pretending they did try to build a materials engineering simulator.. why would you get paid slave wages at CIG vs making really good money in the actual aerospace industry making actual things that go to actual space? Exactly. Anyone who is capable of doing what needs to be done to make this work could go literally anywhere they wanted in the actual space industry. It's obviously just more bullshit to fleece money from people, but drat. I guess if you're going to lie, lie big.

Nicholas posted:now try it for three masses You'd have to calculate the distance from your ship to the objects in x,y,z, then calculate the effect of gravity along those 3 vectors. Add all the forces on like vectors together and apply the final answer to your ship. You can do this to any number of objects, you just need to set up some reasonable distances at which to cull the effects so you don't try to calculate the effect of every object in the universe on your ship at all times. But, fidelity. CIG, give me money.

I still believe with 100% certainty that something Squadron 42ish will eventually be released. I assume it’s going to come in the form of an unintended release, much like Half Life 2’s early leak, only in really terrible shape. It’s going to be broken, buggy, completely unfun, and probably with 2-3 somewhat working levels. And CIG will use this to garner goodwill from the backers by saying, “see this is why we haven’t released anything yet! All the fundamentals are there we just have to polish polish polish” and that’s the last we will ever see or hear of it.

lobsterminator posted:Pretty sure it would have to be rebuilt from the ground up. And this time make the ground solid so players don't pass through it This. You could keep the general concept (massively multiplayer every game ever made and some you haven't even conceived of yet), but every bit of the game would need to be scraped and rebuilt from the ground up. It needs to be torn all the way down, down to the concept art and beyond, and started anew in Unreal 5. But, at that point, it's not Star Citizen anymore. So no. I don't think you could give Star Citizen and all of its assets to anyone and hope for any better than we're getting right now. We're past the point where things can be salvaged and shaped into a releasable game that will score 70+ on metacritic.

This is kinda amazing.quote:The Icarus 2 mission accomplished the primary objective of determining the nature of the star, which is a collision-less one-sided 3D illuminated object. Below the surface of the Stanton star, there is no illumination and you are able to see the Stanton system skybox with no Stanton star visible. The core of the Stanton star remains a further 696,000km away. 10 years and it’s not even an interactive sun. quote:The members of Deep Space Crew are grateful for the work CiG developers around the world have invested into making this a game everyone can enjoy and live out their verse life. This sounds like the CIG threatened their lives or something. quote:The crew experienced the full gamut of obstacles that could have derailed the mission, ranging from server crashes/30ks, infinite load screen, health of the player avatar and ship component failures. I looooove how the ‘full gamut of obstacles’ only includes different ways the game can poo poo itself, and not gameplay.

L. Ron Hoover posted:On the other hand, Star Citizen is now starting to make loot tables in year 10, which consists stuff you can buy in their store. So there's bad, and then there's very bad. Obviously loot tables are only a temporary solution. In reality, all “loot” is going to have a history, and be traceable back to the player or NPC owned factory that created it. Storage chests and boxes around settlements will be filled by NPCs stockpiling goods to complete dreams of being store owners, arms dealers, or just back woods farmers.

Valatar posted:It's valid for big ships to have room for lots of people for situations where someone crams their guild into one big ship. The whale buys the big ship and their various buddies all jump on to man turrets and get a ride along to wherever they're going. The old pitch was that there'd be gameplay to actually need more people than just gunners, but of course none of those scanners or repair teams or whatever have seen the light of day. I'm sure they're coming any day now. First they have to rebuilt every ship in the game to have miles of conduit and tubes that can break before they can implement the gun that shoots a green beam that fixes the damage. But that won’t comes for 4-6 months after damage comes, and it won’t always work.

Let’s assume for a minute that all of this becomes real. Even if the penalties for death are super high, who is going to sit around and let their character be tortured instead of just suiciding?

How are they going to tie this strict timeline with their Quanta AI engine? What if Luke Skywalker gets an unstoppable desire to eat a hamburger from the hotdog stand on the other side of the city right before the big fight is going to go down? Or are they going to rip all of the quanta stuff out of Squadron 42 and make the game an on the rails experience a la House of the Dead? Or did I just put more thought into why a dedicated, set in stone timeline of events is a terrible idea if you need your players to be in the right place at the right time to see important moments than they did?
