we idTech now bois
Samuel Russell
Don't you worry that if CIG continue releasing every bit of new content in each alpha/beta that when the games actually released everything will be found out, the meta grounded and progression would have become a boring chore?
Juan Butler
Yes. Although there is the hope that they're not releasing everything but instead releasing enough to test.
Jason Watson
Yeah, holy shit, that looks like RAGE
Nathaniel Ward
Predictions for 2018 fags let's hear em. >Star Citizen Stanton system planets >SQ42 given to media and completely spoiled by games journalist reviews >Attempt to make Battle Royal mode in Star Marine and aim for E-Sports crowd >9 New ships added each one punches above it's weight >Goons flip and become SC enthusiasts again >Derek tries to scrub the internet of his comments and pretends he was always a supporter of SC >Idris is hangar ready.

>le delusional cultist XDDDD
Cooper Perez
>Battle royale and e sports I don't see these two things happening and I especially hope they don't As for my prediction >Ben still not fired >Sandi not delegated to something that won't hurt the project any longer
Joshua Jones
New ships added each one punches above it's weight Twelve. One for each month. This includes all three ships in the last Drake poll.
Colton Myers
>a bunch of reworks happen >more ships are sold >we get a taste of new content >erin eats ben in a bid to become the fattest >chris buys a yacht and sells billion year contracts to backers for 1500 a piece. This gets you a lifetime of servitude aboard the yacht during its 50 year escape to the Mediterranean. >disco fries continues to tell us all everything is ok and spoon feeds the community sneak peeks of ships that are 5 years out. >Derek Smart disappears, the only clue of where he went is a sloppily written email away message.

Julian Long
If you expect anything major before funding stops you're being delusional, SQ42 by 2018 isn't even remotely believable given that there is absolutely nothing for them to show.
Kayden Nguyen
You try too hard man
Chase Gray
I'm honestly saying what i think will happen, call me an idiot or troll, whatever. I have no expectations left after the last 2 years .
Nicholas Kelly
WHERE.ARE.MY.ROBOT.WIVES!
Jaxon Garcia
I predict all of these but the journalist and the esports shit
Juan Harris
But the problem is that funding will never ever stop. Whales aren't a set population, and there are always more and more desperate dudes looking to live out their space fantasies, like all of us here.
Jacob Morgan
i wonder if sexbots and AIs will eclipse what we can imagine now within our lifetimes or before star citizen is released
Liam Cook
if they wanted esports they'd already be "done" the game as a class based moba-fighter-sim with cell shaded graphics and lootboxes
Michael Peterson
We will know more about SQ42 this December livestream. I doubt either SQ42 or SC will be released much befor the other. They both are dependent largely on the same assets.
Kayden Morris
>We will We hope we will. Expect nothing so that you can be happily surprised.
Gavin Wright
Yeah. The difference will be that SQ42 will operate in a set space, all that will hold SC back is planet assets and shit like that. They've already shown us how quickly they can generate content, and both Grim Hex and Levski show how well they can do the small hand crafted stuff.
Hunter Long
I believe you are right my main concern is general polish for Sq42.
Daniel Stewart
>enormous fucking machine that JUST HAPPENS to be perfectly symmetrical Star Citizen's art design is so shit.
Carter Russell
Do you live in some alternate reality where machines aren't symmetrical?
Jason Sanchez
It's nearly 1000 years in the future, bruh.
Luke Bennett
Open the hood of a car. Is it symmetrical? No. Why? Because you don't need fucking two of everything in your machine. You need 6 pistons, maybe, but only 1 radiator. And so on. Different components are needed in different amounts which hinders your ability to arrange them symmetrically.
>well maybe they're two separate machines Then why are they mirrored? Why would you pay the dumb amount of money to redesign the machine in a mirrored configuration (which is nowhere near as easy as it sounds) when you could just have it non-mirrored? It's not like it takes up less space either way.
In short it's dumb. It is dumb and that's why it looks dumb and if you like it you're dumb.
Jose Thompson
it looks fine but if you put doom 4's HUD on that scene nobody would think for a moment it's not from an id game. >implying id has patented steamy pipes and giant machines made of steamy pipes
Gabriel Rogers
What if that machine just needs two of everything?
Lincoln Allen
>In short it's dumb. It is dumb and that's why it looks dumb and if you like it you're dumb. It's also a dumb thing to get upset over.
Take a chill pill, user, of you'll realize space ships are engaging in dogfights in visible range of each other.
Grayson Bennett
Why's this place still exist? Both of these games continue to die of self-inflicted cancer.
Owen Jones
Open the hood of a expensive car bruh, yeah your shitty civic is going to have one of something’s. Look in a nice Supercar and you’ll see duplicates, redundancy, and symmetry everywhere.
Ryan Torres
Just searched supercar engine, this is one of the results.
Brandon Cox
Typically redundancy isn't something accounted for in supercars/performance cars, as it adds unnecessary weight
Some cars do have more than one radiator (I think the new Camaro has like 9), multiple intakes, multiple exhausts, multiple turbos etc, but they are there for performance reasons
Jackson Price
None of that is machinery though. It's fibreglass panelling put over the machinery to hide it and make the bay look good. The first thing a mechanic is going to do (after laughing at you for wasting money on a meme machine) is take that shit off to get access to the guts.
Lincoln Rodriguez
You really know nothing about cars. Stop pretending, it's obvious as fuck that you don't know what you're talking about.
Luis Davis
>fiberglass Lol bruh, educate yourself. Aint no mechanic going to laugh at the guy putting their kids through college
Ethan Adams
Yeah dude, ferrari is well known for their dual alternator set up
Heard the Ferrari Enzo had 3
You're a moron, weight savings is the name of the game for performance, and components are reliable enough not to warrant a "redundancy" You sound like one of those idiots who argue that militaries want fighters with dual engines for redundancy
Hunter Richardson
>tfw trying to choose between the ultra-utilitarian Hawk or the ultra-cozy Mustang Beta as my starter ship
HELP
I WANT PERFORMANCE BUT ALSO COZINESS
Camden Rivera
Jesus Christ. Who fucking cares man? It's a video game, just chill your autism and stop embarrassing yourself thread in and thread out.
John Moore
I genuinely love the mustang series so I'd go with the beta personally
Elijah Butler
Just buy both.
Elijah Collins
The Hawk doesn't have many amenities, but looks really cool. Just wait a bit - I reckon both of them will be implemented before the end of next year.
Alexander Phillips
>(((before the end of next year)))
Matthew Ramirez
The Sabre and Buccaneer were sold as concepts and implemented into the PTU within less than a year.
Blake Davis
...
Austin Mitchell
Even the terrapin almost made it in this year.
Gabriel Fisher
Never forget the day an innocent monitor paid the price for shitty coding, at a game studio, smashed by one of the highest ranking people in the company.
Josiah Nelson
LOL you fucking dolt that's a plastic cover so that it looks good to idiot who buy 200k cars but don't know jack shit about them.
Ian Hall
Never forget the game is a scam and the guy probably lost a game of Overwatch while pretending to work.
Elijah James
We all know it was a dead monitor right?
Jackson Gonzalez
...
Hudson Taylor
>Mixing an existing game with real progression and complete gameplay mechanics with a fake game that won't ever be release
Why do you guys do this?
Eli Flores
Does it matter? It's a fucking monitor. Unless the monitor anthropomorphized on the spot and deleted someone's work or pissed in the trash can or told Sandi what people actually think of her, there is no reason to not just recycle it like a person who isn't completely insane. Who saw that and thought, "Oh thank God, now that's out of the way, they can buckle down and get something done."
Grayson Torres
E:D discussion boils down to 'is this build good' or 'what's the latest credit making exploit'. They can't sustain their own general.
Elijah Davis
but I've been playing the "fake game" for the past week
until the AI patch made it crash on launch
Brandon Thompson
>an existing game with real progression and complete gameplay mechanics What game is that? You mean the one that you have to use 3rd party tools to actually do anything in because the dev couldn't be assed to put basic functions on the galaxy map or system maps and left the community to finish their work?
Michael Lee
Hahaha keep proving you're retarded. That's one component and it's not symmetrical because there isn't two manifold systems on a car running side by side. It's like saying your computer is symmetrical because there's 2 fans next to each other.
Christopher Evans
What did he mean by this?
Sebastian Russell
The symmetry in a V engine is a packaging issue, not redundant symmetry. All the pistons work on one crankshaft, as one system. You can't have the left ones work and the right not. Redundant systems would work independent of each other. Even a hybrid car is not redundant because the petrol and electric power plants require each other and cannot work exclusively alone.
Jayden Price
>Who saw that and thought, "Oh thank God, now that's out of the way, they can buckle down and get something done." I saw it and thought "Oh look they just handed a couple of years worth of shitposting to trolls"
Ayden Miller
I hope Chris walked up and backhanded the fuck out of him for that. I'm talking bending at the waist, where's his powder, putting his back into it, coming from downtown, and just slapped the taste out of his mouth for that dumb shit.
Brayden Rogers
Whenever I launch PTU my cursor dissapears in the menu and I can't do anything. Anyone got the same issue?
Nathaniel Cook
do you have 30 different other controllers hooked up? i can't confirm it works like that but that's usually the case in other games where i suddenly have no mouse usage
Benjamin James
Nope, just a mouse n keyboard
Justin Harris
might be a fullscreen / windowed fullscreen issue just wait for more patches, today's patch took about 1 week of progress away
Josiah Butler
For the user in the last thread who said the range culling network test hadn't been rolled out yet, here's a link to the announcement along with replies from backers posting their results.
fuck, I want to play 3.0. there should just be a way to opt into testing. I don't want to pay $10 to play the game I already supposedly own
Jacob Davis
3.0 3rd wave release but still far from public sq42 gameplay footage delayed 10 more concept ships Ben finally dies
Daniel Bennett
Regardless of config, anything not totally garbage is just poking along waiting on updates. Fucking 20% and 30% GPU usage in a cutting edge game on mid tier GPUs.
Lincoln Thomas
Hold onto your butt as long as you can - judging by the discussion in these threads, the experience either drives you mad or throws you into disbelief. Hopefully the performance is fixed by the time its in our hands.
Juan Gomez
I almost agree with everything here except:
>Attempt to make Battle Royal mode in Star Marine and aim for E-Sports crowd.
Won't happen.
>Goons flip and become SC enthusiasts again >Derek tries to scrub the internet of his comments and pretends he was always a supporter of SC
They are more likely to quadruple down that the game is gonna fail and shit.
John Rodriguez
>RSI employees when trying to code.
Kayden Garcia
Kek, way more accurate.
Charles Nguyen
Literally every other game I can think of has many perfectly symmetrical designs.
This is either bait or you're just stupid.
Luis Morris
This time next year I think that: >Stanton system completed >Jump points not yet implemented >About a dozen interact-able mission givers, with some more developed mission trees beyond 'go here and do x' >Hawk, Hammerhead, new Mustang, Hull A, B, C, Phoenix, 600I, Reclaimer, Cutlass Blue, Razor, and updated 300i all flyable >Player cap won't be 128, will be in the 70s maybe >Hangers like we were originally supposed to have implemented in an extremely rudimentary way. Not the final version >Racing, Star Marine, and Arena Commander all accessible from within PU like originally designed >Early system of in game Org tools implemented >SQ42 not released >First pass at dynamic economy (haul mined materials from X place, to ArcCorp, which then slightly changes output) >Darkie Shart will be caught outside of the CIG offices attempting to kill CRoberts >Funding will surpass 200 million >Goons and assorted shitposters will still shitpost
Charles Lopez
>Attempt to make Battle Royal mode in Star Marine Can't imagine that would even be hard to do. >Derek tries to scrub the internet of his comments and pretends he was always a supporter of SC lolno
Grayson Williams
Battle royal would be stupid. I could see like a battlefield style combined arms thing for star marine though.
Nolan Thompson
When is SQ42
Joseph Ward
we'll find out in less than two weeks
Joseph Rogers
Might be fun, and easy to implement. I wouldn't do it before releasing everything else though.
But then I guess you'd miss out on the craze.
>we'll find out in less than two weeks Gotta link?
Asher Martin
E:D still shit?
Easton Baker
This seems a lot more accurate. Well said user.
Wyatt Young
pubg got lucky as hell getting the attention of normies and actual gamers who just want to play whatever their normie freinds play
trying to emulate it in a game that takes itself more seriously would be very risky. also that kind of croud is the exact opposite of the ones who have money invested in SC.
Blake Richardson
I have to say I am pleased with the rate at which patches are being deployed. Almost one a day.
Luis Mitchell
As long as Sandro is in charge of it, yes. It's his lifes work to run the game into the ground with terrible decisions and taking the laziest approach imaginable.
Anthony Perez
Mhm, so the manchild who literally has a fucking stuffed snake as a freind is still in charge? Can't say I'm surprised.
Well, guess I can look forward to playing French Tanks in War Thunder without molestation
Parker Howard
Is there a video of this happening and who is it.
Jeremiah Edwards
>ship sales continue >CIG teases another 3.0-tier reveal, fails to provide any substantial gameplay >derek smart continues shitposting, goons continue laughing, Chris continues to make grandiose promises >community begins eating itself inside out
Henry Foster
Hang this on your wall so you can look at it every day
Levi Peterson
>Playing a gaijin game without getting raped tier 1 French tanks are gonna be 4.0BR
Elijah Carter
...sure
John Cruz
Can I get a source or a quick run down.
Jason Price
WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO QUINCE FARMING? I HAVE TO VISIT 5-6 DIFFERENT POINTS ON A PLANET NOW?!
Joshua Anderson
>implying this matters with I get like 200+ goldie birdies daily from the free golden birdies app >implying this matters when I'm just going to buy the AMX-13 SS.11
lol
Jose Johnson
whats the issue, dont you have fun????
Noah Watson
>smashing backer funded equipment
Parker Moore
Is there a better way to earn money now?
Evan Martin
What free golden birdies app?
Jason Edwards
these two. Just look at the current and past WTG's for more info on these apps if you want.
