******Official Star Citizen / Squadron 42 Thread******

I think quality games take a long time to make, especially when it is trying to achieve something never been done before.

I am happy for them to take up to around 5 years, so hopefully that puts it no later than 2017 for the game to be released.

They can always expand the persistent universe and deliver stretch goals and stuff after release. Just want an excellent polished Squadron 42 on release personally :D

My friend who works at Foundry 42 and is still in his probation was offered a job move to German to the Frankfurt office to centralize what hes working on but couldn't do it due to family commitments. He's voluntarily doing 3 hours overtime every working day because he beleives in the project and wants to show hes keen . He likes the working environment and hasn't experienced any of the toxic crap folks are banding about.

Yet the Escapist and DS take the word of Ex/disgruntled employees, who clearly have a dislike for their old employer and keen to make a mark on the drama, this is all without asking for comments from current employees.

Seems to me like asking Chelsea fans, if they think Liverpool FC is a good football team and not expecting a biased opinion that probably isn't factually true and then spouting the piece in the paper that Liverpool are crap, because Chelsea fans said so.

I'm not blind to the fact that some mismanagement has gone on over the course of the development of SC.....but reading DS and The Escapist articles is so one sided, without facts and evidence.....just the "we've heard it from our sources, but we cant tell you or show you" rhetoric and anyone who questions DS with facts just gets blocked.
 
It's not even ex employees, the main source is an employer rating website anyone can post to without verification that they actually worked there. That's pretty shaky.
 
I think what it might have done, is make some people question just how much they have put in to what, at the end of the day, is just a 'game'.
It will be on sale for about 50 quid in a couple of years, yet some people have put tens of thousands in to it. Just looking at the SC forums, it's very easy to see how some people get drawn in to spending big money. It's almost a cult.
I got my refund through yesterday, I asked for it before recent events. Think I'll just go with the cheapest package now.
 
DS has apparently leaked the citizencon reveal and one fo the actors. But after looking at it all it has been hinted at what the reveal is, Christ even I guessed it. The actor reveal is something we knew about months ago during the art leak but he will use all this to try and give himself credit that he is right therefore must be right about the rest.

He's also admitted it was him shopping around all the outlets to try and prompt a story and he introduced some of his contacts to the escapist....

Yeah, I'm guessing someone has broken NDA giving him that info...Erin gave a preview of some SQ42 stuff to CIG staff while he was in LA, I'm sure a couple of the recent 'departures' were privy to that.

Tbh i would expect any trailer plans to be common knowledge in the office.
 
Some of the information was leaked on Reddit months ago, most of the posts were deleted but a few are around if you dig. Names several people, I'm not going to repeat it though.

Still very much looking forward to it, shall be tweeterising (or whatever it's called) on https://twitter.com/raumarik if anyone is interested. INN are likely to be there so checking their site out is probably a good idea too :)
 
From the offical website. Pick one of the two starter packages (pay in euros, it's cheaper than GBP or usd)

The game isn't close to being finished atm, so make sure you look into what you are buying first.

And will I be able to run it on my PC or PC w/in a couple of months?
Current:
Pentium G3258
4GB Ram
HD7770

After saving up:
I5 (Something haswell, maybe unlocked)
8GB RAM (after another 4GB dim)
Probably still an HD7770, maybe I'll upgrade later

Not a chance with what you got now to be honest.

I'd be surprised if that 7770 is going to do it after you have upgraded the other bits.
