Get a refund and put it in a mutual fund.  On dividends alone, you'll be able to buy a real Space Winnebago, before Chris Roberts delivers the virtual ones he's promised.

Tell him to wait until squadron 42 or 4.0. I love watching and testing what we have now, but SC PU will be rough for a very long time. That doesn't mean we won't get worthwhile updates, it just means that we currently have ~5-10% of Chris Roberts' complete vision. I personally think 80% pays the bills, and since last year, a lot of tech, ships, and systems needed to be reworked.

Of course there will always be the need to innovate on past designs. But in 2018 we should see a lot of growth with the tech tools they have been working on to give to their designers.

This is just sad.

It's normal in game development for a game to be under construction for the past 6 years, not have any of the basic core gameplay loops defined, while needing to have most of its assets and systems be reworked. This is good for starcitizen.

Don't know what you are all on about. Looks like we'll get everything CR has promised and it won't be long either.

That guy is indulging in a lot of cognitive dissonance.  It's good, but it's unplayable!  It's the best space sim ever to run at 10fps and crash all the time!

Let's just pretend that I totally did, and was merely quoting your post, without actually quoting it..!

Teaser for SQ42.

[Spoon]

They've been teasing for the last 6 years now. And again, not an single bit of actual gameplay substance is shown. (because there isn't anything to show)

[The E]

Yeah. That looks like a solidly VA'ed cutscene.... but that's the sort of thing that would have been cool to see 3 years ago? 4 years ago?

Also, why does Hamill's character look like a slackjawed idiot in this scene?

[Aesaar]

So Mark Hamill's character is an asshole who only speaks in cliches?

In other news, CIG are not content with the engineering debt they currently have, and clearly the logical thing to do when none of your space sim's core gameplay is in any way complete is to add something you can focus an entire game around: tanks.



Of course, this being CIG, the tank must look extremely boring while also being really dumb design-wise.

But it looks like a dumber PL-01, which is the tank equivalent of SC, so I guess it's appropriate.

[Firesteel]

That looks like someone took a really low poly model of an Abrams, moved the vertices of the top-back up, and called it a day.

[Firesteel]

Also Mark Hamill sounds unbelievably board. He didn't like what Rian Johnson decided to do with TLJ but he at least appeared to give a ****.

[Aesaar]

Oh i found a higher resolution screenshot:



Shot traps galore.  Also I get that this is ****ty concept art but judging by the two guys in the lower left these tanks are something like 10m+ tall.

I mean the whole thing has been funded on feature creep from the off, so why not make another $20mil on another promise (and no plan)?

[Grizzly]

Oh hi mark.

I mean, it's great for showing off the production capabilities of the CryEngine, but we knew that already.

[Blue Lion]

I like that two discussions somewhat at the top of chats were "What ship are they going to make us get to haul these around?" and "Do we just expect to have guys sitting around in tanks all day defending our outposts while we fly around in space?"

I also enjoy that no one seems to understand how the PU will work

But seriously, tanks?

Frankly ... after the "landgrab" earlier ... why even get worked up over "tanks" anymore? I mean how much outrange can anyone still even muster over tanks, when they are pretty much literally selling patches of dirt already? 


The next big thing will be BRIDGES, to build on your land, so you can drive your tanks over. Don't forget, I called it first. 


P.S.: After that: Bridge laying tanks and bridge building ships! They'll make millions more I'm telling ya!

[Aesaar]

I know where he got this idea. Crobber watched Star Trek 4 and demanded tanks for the whales.

[X3N0-Life-Form]

Makes sense
