    And in occasional softcore fetish videos.

    Tickling, if I remember right. Degenerates.

    But let's not complain, SC gave us more amusement at the trainwreck without paying a cent than many legit games.

    So the first leaks are out for „Theaters of War, CIG’s desperate last minute scramble to create any kind of semi-fun gameplay mode that can actually be done with their engine Battlefield in space clone.

    As expected, it’s a buggy, slow piece of jank.
    https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen_refunds/comments/gm0qjz/another_theaters_of_scam_gameplay_video_60_fps/

    The cultists policing the sc reddit and the official forums have the usual excuses. „It’s an Alpha, duh!“ „It’s not supposed to be ready yet, it’s mesnt to be a test bed to gather data on weapons balance“. Just like Star Marine I guess, the janky FPS Module that has been all but abandoned by now.

    The in-game event is pretty cool. There's a military parade flying around between the major space stations shwoing off some of the upcoming capital ships:

    Is this the graphical fidelity chrissy roberts was hyping up for 8 years? Im not impressed, for comparision this is how a mod for 17 years old rts game looks.





    And because chrissy likes star wars so much lets see how empire at war compares to his game :lol:

    Lack of explosions in space is one of dumbest pasta that somehow people believe it on internet. On surface level is it logical but it falls apart when you go deeper into subject, especially when we talk about spaceships.

    You don't need oxygen atmosphere to get fire. Every bullet used in guns uses oxidizer because amount in air is too low for rapid explosion that takes place when you fire a gun. All explosives from smallest to biggest use oxiders. Only nukes don't use oxidizer because energy generated in nuclear blast is caused by chain reaction of atoms themselves but they still use catalyst that speeds up chain reaction.

    Moreover in case of ships in space etc, all ships (maybe aside from other races or AI) are pressurized with atmosphere to breathe thus they provide fuel to fire but i would guess with advanced ships stuff like blast doors would be used to instantly vent air to stop fires.

    Finally what is a fire ? Just rapid change of one state usually solid into another gas. Oxygen is just good chemical conductor. But when you get enough energy then you don't need oxygen. The fire itself also highly varied as it depends highly on amount of heat generated so in some cases you can get invisible fire:



    So yes in case of general principle fires in space are rather uncommon from small sources. But when you talk about destruction of ships caused by massive energy spikes then absolutely you would have huge balls of fire when all oxygen on those ships get starts to chain react due to overload of energy.

    Now they true weird part is that people often take plasma for fire. The sun is often called "fireball" but in fact it is not a fire nor sun is in fire. It is entirely made out of plasma. It looks for us similar but works completely different than fire.

    So general space battle in space would look more like fireworks with various kinds of fires (due to rapid gassification of various materials mostly in invisible spectrum to us) combined with plasma after initial fires would be out as space is terrible conductor of energy and everything stays heated for a long time.

    Well we don't. We talk about pretty much run-of-the-mill fireworks copypasted into space. That's what the video showed.

    Fireworks work exactly the same way as bullets do, they also have oxidizer because without it it wouldn't generate enough energy. So any kind of firework would work just as well in space as on earth. The only problem would be to heat up charge as obviously you can't use matches and start fire.
