And I thought the PR bar couldn't get any more desperate.... And I think they meant to say "design a universe of JPGs."

[Colonol Dekker]

Design a universe???

They've not even got a complete system yet.

[StarSlayer]

I mean its not like its rocket science... oh wait.

[Spoon]

Design a universe???

They've not even got a complete system yet.

Or basic gamemechanics. Like say, an economy.
Or working doors.

After logging out you won't be able to keep ships you've stolen.

I backed the thing originally as a wide eyed high schooler and now here I am a grandpa of a grad student and they're at about the same point as when I was actually sort of invested in the thing and had given them money.

Now I have my money back and still nothing has changed.

Very immersive.

The saddest thing is that the article even points out something better they could have done. But obviously modelling fluid dynamics for a glass of whiskey is more important to immersion than having stuff suddenly vanish.

For some of the money they could have shipped games with a good bottle of single malt instead of wasting time on something silly.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Yeah the failure of this game to me was proof positive when I saw that Squadron 42 gameplay trailer.  It literally had like an hour of game play and in all that time you fought like two fighters, and that fight looked pretty lame.  The rest of it was basically a glorified tech-demo/walking simulator.  Very little gameplay to speak of.

SC has met with the BBB.

[Colonol Dekker]

CIG is not currently a member of the BBB, nor do they plan to join.

Ass covering PR.   I'm more curious about the aeigis sabre you get with new Intel SSD's referenced in the article.


Curious as a marketing / previously unknown to me revenue stream?

Good times over there.

So translated that means "we have to invent cold fusion" then this game will be on its way to being complete. 

Honestly for the same amount of manpower and money it probably would be easier to make a cold fusion reactor to power they serves they will need 

[The E]

Nothing in that is new. It's exactly how Elite Dangerous operates, something croberts and the Citizens were openly derisive about not that long ago.

[Spoon]

Nuh uh, Starcitizen did it first. Frontier Developments will be begging CIG to get a license to this new technology.

[IronBeer]

Actually, reading that quote again it looks like the implementation is very close to what EVE does- a server per region or busy system.

[MikeRoz]

How can any architecture that involves a dedicated server be "exactly what E:D does" when E:D uses P2P rather than dedicated servers? There are definitely servers for the background sim stuff, but any time you drop out of SC to go pew pew, that's P2P.

What I was referring to was not the specific implementation of instancing, but the fact that there's instancing at all. Wasn't one of the promises they made that that wouldn't be happening?

That was the moment where anyone with a little MMO experience knew for certain they were talking out of their a...    err i mean "behind". :-)

At first I thought this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzjCJqF3Urw loop of procedural food making was an april fool's. A bit of self-aware humor.
But then again... is it? How can you even tell anymore?
