Hey everybody,

I wanted to address confusion about the AC2.0 trailer. I know that the line about everything being playable in Alpha 2.0 had some backers excited thinking that Alpha 2.0 had gone live, or that it is about to go live tomorrow. Unfortunately, that is not the case! We are really sorry for folks mislead by that card, and so I’d like to explain exactly what happened.

What happened? We had an opportunity to get the 2.0 trailer exposed to a much bigger audience, but that required our turning in the trailer a while ago. At the time, we were on track to have 2.0 on the live servers by today or tomorrow. Unfortunately, as folks testing and observing know, we were hit with a slowdown bug that seemed to come out of nowhere. (For those not following the testing chatter, that’s why you haven’t see a PTU build in the last two days.) Knowing what we do now, we would have liked to have changed the exact wording on the trailer. Unfortunately, it was locked in well before the event.

So to be clear: Star Citizen 2.0 is not live for everyone yet. It’s currently available on the Public Test Universe (PTU) for the first 110,000 Citizens. An increasing number of folks have been helping us test builds for the past week, and everyone involved can attest to the fact that we’ve been doing some serious bug squashing. For now, Arena Commander 1.3 (and the Hangar and Social Modules) are available for everyone. We’re running a ‘free fly’ right now, so anyone who registers for an account can try out single-seat dogfighting, racing, Vanduul Swarm and more.

The plan is to roll out Alpha 2.0 to the live server as soon as we’ve resolved the current blockers. A whole lot of backer test pilots are helping make that a reality, and we will keep everyone updated as it happens. Keep watching the Comm-Link, enjoy free access to 1.3 for now and we’ll have Alpha 2.0 out to everyone as soon as it’s ready to go.

Ben

Ultimately these small screwups occur because their marketing and PR isn't a big operation. They don't have the scores of eyes to vet every single thing, catch every messaging problem.

Would people really want them to become the impregnable fortresses like EA or Activision?

SC community managers now spamming links to polls to their community. CIG is the "best MMO studio of the year" according to 51% of the voters on MassivelyOP (second best so far only have 11%).

Polls (and internet ones esp.) are horseshit anyway but it's always good for the schadenfreude to see things unfolding just according to keikaku. :yeshrug

It seems they're going for space combat sim. But that seems really hard. Because what is space combat sim?

If you have a racing sim, you model stuff after actual racing.

If you have a train simulator, you model it after real trains.

What are these guys supposed to model it after? How can you do a space combat sim when that kind of thing is actually really much more based in fantasy?

It's fruitless anyways because as EVE proved, unless you're very dedicated space sims are fucking boring.

Another thing EVE also proved is that nobody else should try because it's the perfect space sim and has been so for over a decade.

Wasn't the Charlie tragedy enough ?  :'(



(Canard PC is an indie mag about PC gaming, pretty much the only one left standing in French physical publication.).

Also this is apparently not a joke feature but something they envision to have in...

Quote
The MixMaster is connected to eight different beverages and has a rotating set of nozzles. Pressing one of the eight associated buttons causes the corresponding beverage to dispense until the button is released. Alongside the seat of the passenger that ordered the drink and the time remaining before a reputational penalty starts to accrue is the formula for the desired concoction. A formula such as 1-1-4-8 would indicate that two parts beverage 1, one part beverage 4, and one part beverage 8 are required. The quality of the drink – displayed on the MixMaster – is determined by how accurately the portions were allocated. If the player isn’t happy with the quality of the drink they can simply press a key to discard it and start anew, but ships carry a limited supply of beverages so this tactic should be used sparingly. Upon acceptance of a drink it is moved to a conveyor belt on the side. Thus, players can prepare multiple drinks in a row and then move to deliver them, or one player can mix the drinks and another can focus on getting them where they belong.

While a passenger in Coach would be fairly forgiving with regard to slow delivery times and a poor mixture quality, travelers in Business Class and up would expect much more, and repeatedly disappointing them would have an adverse effect on their opinion of the flight, and ultimately the player’s reputation.

It's going to launch with an insane amount of bugs and make Driveclub/Master Chief Collection/Assassin's Creed Unity look like they came out of Nintendo's QA department circa 1994 but at the same time it's probably going to be a decent game if they can can stop with the feature creep and just concentrate on being "Next Gen Wing Commander". It's likely to be the Max Payne, Half Life 2 or Crysis of the era in being "The game you have to upgrade your PC for". You will probably have to wait for modders to fix the stability and there will be a glut of space sims along with Elite in the meantime. Could be a trainwreck, could be a glorious trainwreck. Have to wait and see.
