Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

I'm still sticking to my prediction of a soft launch in 2025 with Stanton/Pyro/Nyx implemented.

Yes, yes, all I'm trying to say here is that its a brilliant prediction!

2010: pre-production
2011: production
September 2024: Still just fucking Stanton
???
2025: Stanton, Pyro and Nyx!
Profit!

It's not that wild of a prediction. There's a tech barrier preventing implementation of content that's been complete for years.

He isn't wrong.

Nyx is just small system with one landing site 'delamar' which already was made by CIG years ago (in fact it was the first landing site CIG did) along with planet that was yeeted out of Stanton to make a place for Orison as their servers wouldn't be able to handle 5 city landing sites (i would argue 4 already is too much which is leading cause of 5 fps servers).
Aside from Delamar which is effectively small planetoid there are other 3 planets that were shown to be finished on last CitizenCon.
Pyro on other hand is being finished and it is actually larger system than Stanton with more planets, just less cities (there are none, only villages).

CIG releasing 3 systems as 1.0 is totally something CIG would do knowing them. They would add to that randomly generated 5 other systems and call it a day with promise of more systems to come down the line.

CIG can do a lot of content, good graphics etc. It was always the technical aspect of game that limited CIG on every occasion. The fact that they went through 4 iterations of game ui, 5 versions of ships in that time (and delivering more than 100+ ships) is example of how much muscle they have. Which makes sense considering they are at 1k devs.

Everything literally relies on that 4.0 server meshing. If that fails (which honestly at this point i actually have some faith after tests, now) they will probably just relase sq42 and call it a day with SC or do painful rework into small scale coop game or something (which imho would be better)

 

[Perkel]

I fully expect 4.0 to be a total shitshow for at least a year though. Like 2018 server crash every hour level of bad.

I think the real Star Citizen game is stroking yourself off while laughing at the poors on the internet, showing that you can afford to just set a bunch of money on fire.

It seems a good time was had by all. Especially Chris Roberts.

Finally proper physicalized cargo handling. Actually huge update at least for me. It was always annoying to find some ship and strip it from its components to then land and realize you can't really use it yourself or that you can't sell equipment because you need to sell it from cargo grid.

Stuff like this allow finally for player run shops as well. Just strip stuff, and just sit around in space selling stuff for 50-75% of shop price.

This update also allowed selling player components (previously they were sold for 0) which means that if you will find player ship downed in combat or something you can strip it down for all that tricked up gear and sell it to other players.
This also allows for salvagers to actually sell loot to players instead of shops for nothing.
Now if they would add mannequins you could outfit you could run armor shop as well.

Obviously until server goes down in flames in few hours lol.

This thread was way funnier when that one guy was saying that he doesn't buy into the "SSD scam" and only uses HDD.

How's the truth funny?

I legit played once with dude who was playing on HDD. I didn't know at start but at some point he said. "Wait for me, city didn't load yet." I asked why and he said he played on HDD. Once he got close to city It would load for about 3-4 minutes.

Reminds me of my back when I had shit pc when I was young and I wanted to play newest games. Back then 10 fps was not a challange lol for me.

I still see this on the steam forums where someone will complain about a game being "unoptimized" and then they'll reveal they're playing it on a hard drive.

 

[Myobi]

Bro, its not poorly optimized, you just need an SSD, 128GB Ram, and a RTX A6000 to get 60 FPS in a mostly empty town, its not like any video game made before, its the future old man.

Obviously the game of the future requires the PCs of the future, therefore, they are unable to complete development until the PCs capable of rendering it are developed. In the meantime, plz buy more jpegs.
