Star Citizen

[Paul]

Ye, I meant Elite 2, sry.

[Leshma]

I would get Elite: Dangerous atm. Another interesting early access game is Rogue System, but it is far from being finished. Completely different concept, control scheme is like DCS games while gameplay is mission/objective based.

January 2014:
DS can´t stay silent anymore and starts wallowing in self pity and plugging his game
"We've DONE ALL THAT + more. 100% playable. For < $10m". #trashtalk #lodmmo

"That's it. I'm convinced that this whole Star Citizen thing is some massive Ponzi scheme - that I helped fund. 2015 can't come soon enough."

DS confesses that his game, LoD has no plan to officially release because it's continually updated. "It's early access, what difference does it make" when it comes out? "There is no need for a release date. It could be 2015, it could be 2020. I don't know, who cares?"[1]   [4min duration]

A valid question posed to him, "How is keeping LoD in early access indefinitely in order to add features, any different from CIG increasing they're scope in development?" His answer, LoD is a complete vision and it's all there" to play and see. That's the difference.[2] 

He goes on from there to talk about his intent to take CIG/RSI and specifically Sandi Gardiner down. About how he knows exactly how the legal system works, how intelligent he is and at the end, tells anyone who doesn't like him or disagrees with his views "Can eat shit." [10min duration of gold]

So arena commander 2.0 before Star marine.

Hey guys! One big clarification from CitizenCon: the Baby PU is NOT replacing Star Marine, it's simply going to include a lot of the work we've done on the FPS. We still intend to release Star Marine proper (with Gold Horizon and the HQ game mode and all that.) In all likelihood, you'll see Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 first and then Star Marine proper shortly after that... and we'll continue to update with more details on both as they're locked down.

I'm guessing 2.0 will have a barebones fps, with the majority of it coming with star marine.

[Leshma]

Erin said 2.0 shall come in few weeks from now. Don't get your hopes up, but you never know.

[Leshma]

Double post, sorry 'bout that.

This project might be complete disaster, but I've got something worthy in return for 30 bucks I invested in it. Somethingawful crew known as Goons, are being hunted down and banned from Star Citizen. They are checking Star Citizen accounts and trying to link them with somethignawful forum accounts, if there is a positive match user gets banned.

Wish other communities were brave enough to do that, like EVE online and of course cRPG. If chadz had the balls to deal with the likes of Smoothrich and co. in early days of cRPG I'm fairly sure this would be a nicer place.

[[ptx]]

Why would they do that?

[Leshma]

Not sure. But:

Lol, implying Smooth wasn't entertainment pure. I'd rather laugh at our idiots than burn 'em on a stake.

[Leshma]

They can be a nuisance if there's too many of them. It is worth to point out that majority of Goons look and sounds exactly like Smoothrich. Fat, balding, slight neckbeard, glasses, wearing black most of the time, high pitched, female-like voice. That's your average subscriber to SomethingAwful.

More news:

You no longer need alpha access or a pass for the modules!
Anyone with alpha access gets 10000 UEC, those with passes get 5000 UEC (melt it now if you want store credit instead).

Great for early backers, seems to be a bit of a bait and switch for later backers.

Guys i didn't read the thread I just need a quick answer;

Will the ships & equipment you get by pledging to the game be obtainable by simply playing the game?

[Xant]

Yes.

[the real god emperor]

Yes.

Good.

What really bothers me atm is, that the overall game looks way to military-oriented, like any army funded coop shooter. I was hoping for something quite different, with much more focus on the promised economy and exploration gameplay and look - and more of social gameplay than this.
Most things i see right now are : bigger guns; moar guns; military uniforms and organisations ... with the "social module" propably looking like a walk on a military base or military occupied town (i wasnt able to play it yet tho  ).

I hoped to see more casual and working clothes, exploration and research feel as a base ambience; But right now it all feels to me like a wartime military occupation theme

The game could  definately use a big dose of Kremsolin :s
