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

if it brings in tons of cash, which it has I'd argue it's a good way personally.. for speed maybe not but most development works in a similar way only in a smaller internal scale of devs using sandboxes.
 
To be fair neither have CIG in the past, the Mustang had to be redone because they made it to scale using the wrong height avatar :p and it still feels too small inside.
 
Watch it come in? It should insta-pop on the pad mate, that was likely someone else's!

The framerates are very linked to server population if you get an instance with only a few people in it they are very good, it's more a problem with someone start spawning in Starfarers and Caterpillars :P
 
^^ What Curly said, they even had at least one ATV explaining why speeds would be kept lower and that in all honesty faster speeds wouldn't lead to better gameplay.
 
you'll usually be matched with layers from your nearest server cluster fun what I gather unless they are a person of interest to you eg a friend.

patch delays.. I've said all I want to in the past about those many, many times

What, ALL the videos and fluff and guff... or just the bits they say is paid for by subscribers? Certainly when I was one, only one or maybe two vids were advertised as such.

I know the low quality junk they flog in the shop costs pennies, regardless of what they charge for it, as I was again a mug and bought some of it... I've had thicker toilet paper!
But I'm sure the lovely custom jackets and etched metal plaques and things cost a few quid...

Nah, TBH I'm sure most of it isn't as bad as it seems... but when you get so many channels of them cheering about all the wonderful things they've been doing for teh past three months..... like... err.... umm.... hang on, I know this one..... err.... oh, I know, a poster for your hanger... and.... umm.... oh, a new ship that looks the same as the old one, but in a different colour.... for an extra $120 on top of what the other one cost....

In other words - So much shouting about how awesome they are, with so little to actually show for it in any capacity and only their repeated word that they will deliver... one day... eventually... probably.... if they don't change stuff first.... yeah.

See, it's when you see all ^this that you start to wonder in the back of your mind if they're actually doing anything game-wise.... and I'm sure they are, what with two massive tech demo playthroughs now, neither of which seem any closer to actual release.... it's this stuff that makes Star Citizen *look* like it's a turning out to be a complete con, and it's how it *looks* to people in general that's what's got so much doubt and naysaying flying around.

you forget that CIG don't need people in general, they have a source for revenue in the existing backers. That's partly why I detest the referral system. But it doesn't matter how it looks to others as they can click their fingers and up fingers another million, that is going to come to an end soon if they can't impress as gamescom though or if CR can convince us it's worth sticking with.

personally I'm not that fussed at this point about development to me it's going fine and I'm not expecting the game for at least two more years.
 
Open development, what they're doing is what you pledged for. You don't have to watch it all but they'd be panned if they didn't do something for the community when they send gifts in. They can't win with the community half the time as someone will always bitch regardless.

They do far fewer "look at the loot we were sent" vids now than they did in 2013/14.

Easy on the koolaid man. SC firstly needs to be made then we can actually see if its any good. So far it plays horribly compared to ED for example. Dog fighting is not even remotely on par.

Comparing them even when complete would be difficult as they have very different flight mechanics and weaponry. I enjoy both but think over all the ED mechanics for simple person ships are more fun but not sure they would work as well with multi-crew ships with manned turrets etc.
 
Soon Worzel, we'll be able to crash land properly and/or abandon Humbug on a moon. #justspacepiratethings

Also my broadband appears to be working again properly and not disconnecting every 2-3 minutes now. \o/
