Re: Wing Commander 6: The Undiscovered Release Date (Star Citizen Thread)
I was hopping through the "Star Citizen: Building a Schedule for a Universe" video and had to literally LOL.
This guys starts talking about all the practical questions that pop up when you want to actually implement cargo into your game:

These are all excellent questions that should have been answered in a design doc somewhere at the beginning of the project. And people have been asking for specifics on how this will be handled ingame for years.
But they are now in the process of scheduling the tasks that they need to perform to get working cargo system. So I guess the ****izens were right all along, actual game development really just started last Thursday.

This trainwreck just never stops delivering.

When you see super specific deadlines like that all over the place, you can tell they don't plan on making any of them.

Ooohhhh I'm on the edge of my seat!!! No wait I'm getting popcorn first!

Also... why does April 18 come after April 19 again? Is time travel involved in your posting!? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Also, when will we get JAD 42: The Star Citizen Menace !? :nod:

I guess you just don't understand schedule development.

(Then again, neither do I, so that doesn't bode well for anyone (or anything in progress))

 
Re: Wing Commander 6: The Undiscovered Release Date (Star Citizen Thread)
CIG develops schedules for Star Citizen the same way PGI develops balance patches for MWO:  a dart board.

 
Re: Wing Commander 6: The Undiscovered Release Date (Star Citizen Thread)
You just don't understand professional darts.

I'm fair certain they refer not to those try-hards but to the kind found at the watering hole:

That's where the professional darters come from too: Turns out that throwing whilst drunk is a great way to practice for throwing whilst sober :P

The difference between drunken darters and CIG schedules is that the former occasionally hit their targets.

They recently posted a new referral drive:-

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/referral-contest

If you get so many points your character gets an ingame t-shirt or hover bike thing from their new line of obnoxious kitten-related "products", none of which exist ingame so far as I can tell, but of course that's simply SC's modus operandi.

At the end of their video they say - "We'll see you in the 'Verse."

O rly? This **** tickles my cynic organ so hard I have cyncicistitus.

That contest was such a disgustingly exploitative cashgrab that the top posts in /r/starcitizen for like 3 days straight were complaining about it.
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

***start from 12:18***

I must say that watching these production videos is a guilty pleasure of mine. They know how to sell the atmosphere and make things look realistic, livable etc. It's basically why I play ARMA - I'm crap at the game but I really like the immersion aspect it provides. Sure, you also have sort of solid mechanics, which Star citizen won't have and immersion will not keep you interested for more than a few hours per session, but... yeah, if it's a ****show, but I can fly from a station and land on a carrier, explore the place and fly back without it glitching every 2 minutes then I'm still sold (although I won't pay more than 10 bucks for it...). I thought Squadron 42 would provide that with some mediocre pew-pew action, but it seems that it won't happen soon. So I guess I need to wait until they implement carriers and do another free week with it.

Heh. I looked at your post, but start at 12:18 was at the bottom of my screen, I didn't see the rest, so I was expecting to see the hilarious bug or the ****show of disorganisation. But yes, it is quite nice. That (I think) moon in that position with those railings where they were reminded me of the XCOM hologlobe.
