Space sims pretty much have to be early era themed in terms of battle mechanics. Air combat simulator 2015 would be a pilot confirming a signature many miles outside of visual range twice with a command person, then launching a missile at it, then confirming the dot disappeared, then going home on a planned trajectory, then hours of debriefing.
Space combat would likely just be AIs shooting at other AIs at incredible distances where human input would be next to useless
Yes, because reality is far fewer humans involved in ANYTHING in the near future, much less the far future. I always thought that Dune solved that one reasonably. No lasers and missiles because everyone has shields so they are useless, and hitting a shield with a laser will cause a massive explosion and kill everyone nearby. Also there's no robots because we destroyed them all and they are forbidden. |

I really don't understand you guys: first you complain about "downtime", then consider a mixin' drink minigame that will get you drunk as a waste of time. People these days  Remember that time in Wing Commander when you sat around in the transport ship for 5 minutes and then spent the entire mission pouring drinks? |

They should implement a karaoke minigame at the "G-Loc" (bar shown in the social module demo) !!!! Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmfd9etbXGEQuality downtime!!! |

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

It's even better than that, I just didn't find an image of the volleyball court. Back to Star Shitizen. The producers have apparently stopped the whole crazy doctor subplot, which I actually thought was going to grow into a new villain. Why introduce characters and then abandon them? |

Oh, he is still at it. This thread just got too distracted with virtual drink mixing to notice. |

Part of me hopes DS succeeds and brings down this Ponzi scheme of a game. The downside is of course that he'll become even more insufferable, if that's even possible.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!
|
"You have allowed scope creep and feature cuts....<snip>" If I am reading it right, they mean that major features that were promised in the Kickstarter have been cut or dramatically scaled back, while a whole bunch of other things have been added. Which is to a degree par for the course in any game, but SC does seem to have taken it to a whole new level. --Dave |

It's ok if you cant see that though, as SD has managed to shove copies of his own shitty games and his own artistically formed and perfect buttocks in the way.

Soooo.... The Planetside/Social module has been released on the public server: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14927-Welcome-To-ArcCorp-Star-Citizen-12-ReleasedIt's a tiny little 30GB download  . Will take me a while on my 7Mbit ADSL :P --- As previewed during Gamescom, it features the very first planetside/landing location, ArcCorp, located in the Stanton System. Here's a bit of lore for you:  The Stanton System (where ArcCorp is, together with other planets owned by MegaCorps. ArcCorp is on Stanton III): https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/13141-Stanton-SystemArcCorp itself (company and planet lore): https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/14556-ArcCorpAnyway, what's more interesting, is the outline for the module, explained by the Director for the PU, Tony Zurovec (scroll down just a bit): https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14927-Welcome-To-ArcCorp-Star-Citizen-12-ReleasedVery interesting read if you take a few minutes to read it, looks like they have a solid enough plan. Nice video preview of the Nyx landing zone (Nyx is a much more pirate/outlaw location): https://vimeo.com/137655209Just a single piece of "look and feel" concept art for Microtech (Stanton I), another planetside/landing location they're working on:  |

I can see how people would get excited by this. I just wish it had a traditional funding model.
