Thorsen's opening comments in yesterday's ISC video did a lot to address the question of what they want Engineering to be. I've also had huge concerns about it being an un-fun chore. In the PTU patches it's overwhelmed every other aspect of playing the game. But he made clear that the intent...

Haven't we seen this movie before...?

The Ship Team more than doubled in size. I've not seen numbers recently but something like from 25 people to 60 iirc. Each studio has a team and they are ALL working it hard. RSI, Drake and CNOU all have big ships in work, the BMM looks to be moving back into production, Origin and Kruger have...

This is an investment into Chris Roberts grandchildren's future. There, fixed it for you.

The hangar got a significant rework but it was all credit and CCU's. The only new cash was giving out a couple of MDC's as LTI tokens to some newer players.

10!!!! Like, seriously? You know the longer you're here, the more expensive the PTSD (Post TEST Standard Drinking) Therapy gets right? And at 10 years it's so expensive you can never afford to leave! Cheers mon! Picture from my Owl-ma-mater, WGU.

Pick many pockets or run a few missions without dying to acquire 100k auec. Got to any Clinic or Hospital and buy a box of Medgel and take it back to Clipper. Facing the medbed, look left to see to rectangular slots in the console. The medbed comes stocked initially, so if you haven't healed or...

The 5k range was not actually that useful. Almost anything other than an Idris can move out of the path of projectiles fired 3 seconds earlier. With the current flight and weapons tuning, a smartly-flown light fighter won't be touched by any turret weapon beyond 1000m. Agility tanking is still...

Sarcasm.. not sarcasm. The technical debt that is being incurred against existing ships is astounding, even if the features on those older ships don't improve. So does THIS replace the Aurora?

It's FUGLY, and it's Drake so it's made out of crushed beer cans. (Probably supplied by TEST. Is @Reload keeping up with the recycling?). But this is the first ship in game that is a genuine 'Let's go find something to do' daily driver for the normal player. It gives the ability to react to...

It's a fair question. The original idea of having players log out in other players ships to continue a play session later seems like something in the very distant past at this point. As to ship sizes.. Running around with a small crew in the Polaris has proven that it's a great base of...

Not happy to put it this way, but honestly, Morph's video is clickbait. Instancing is already in the game as individual hangars, and much of the same reasoning will apply to the upcoming content. If they DON'T design certain content to prevent unwanted PvP, that content will only ever be seen...

There's a significant amount of AI in the production, but in this case I don't care, they absolutely NAIL IT with the lyrics.

You all realize you're congratulating the man who let Disco Lando swish a large ball under his gown? On camera? And not even on OF?? (OnlyTEST?) Dude, we need to share a drink again.

No, in STAR CITIZEN, the CitizenCon misses you!

Time to go home.

The Polaris doesn't use a Capital class drive. It fits a size 3, just like the Carrack. In the current patch it also has more QT fuel so can travel farther. I'd expect the Kraken to use a Size 4 drive, and probably come up short against the Idris for range. We shall see.

I'm not arguing that it's necessary to defend an IP; it very much is these days. The beginning of this thread, however, suggested that one company was going to sue another based on an untenable position. Greed has driven this many times, and I'll put up Strike 3 Holdings as egregious example...

Nothing in it, really. Combat-wise they are both large, slow, weakly defended targets. For medical gameplay they provide exactly the same services. I think that when the ship was concepted the differences in flight performance of the two were expected to be meaningful, but that's not where the...
