Here's an image I leaked from 3.13.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
That's becouse some have a 6yo kids mind and can't distinguish the meaning of "leak" and "preview".Loose lips melt pledge ships.
It's possible some of the things leaked won't make it to PU soon, or even at all. Remember the salt when that developer used a Dev Tool sidearm Pistol to blow up a ship in a video to show damage states and the whole community started demanding the OP pew pew...? Backers have walked away from the project because the Cutlass went from 3 engines to 2, the damage of false hope in regard to absolutely any feature is real and tangible.
SC Leaks got a channel strike, just took a few days:Too bad the video got the boot. Makes me wonder why CIG doesn't police Star Citizen Leaks the same way (3.14 leaks are still up on their site).
To be fair, SC Leaks ramped it up a lot with content and datamining. They even started to monetize the leaking so I can see why CIG wanted to get involved.Mmm that is interesting if CIG is striking like that now, since leaking is the core of SC Leaks ;)
Yes, bút as they said in their latest vid they did this in purpose, using footage from evocati which can be striked to see if it gets chopped. Just talking about it should not be able.to.be just simply copyright striked though, but we shall see what happens with their latest vid.To be fair, SC Leaks ramped it up a lot with content and datamining.

I suppose this is the difference between being a symbiote and being a parasite - creatures in symbiosis with each other mutually benefit, whereas a parasite harms the host to its sole benefit.Yes, bút as they said in their latest vid they did this in purpose, using footage from evocati which can be striked to see if it gets chopped.

I can understand why they would want to keep evocati stuff to themselves, as ppl take everything that is on evocati as granted to make it into PU. That is obviously not the case, stuff makes it into the first rounds and gets scrapped sometimes cos it wasn't up to par. This can lead to bad rep for CIG cos most players still can't comprehend what Development means...
On the other hand, this is supposed to be open dev, so hiding stuff from us isn't fair lol
EVO gets bad builds..REALLY bad...like 30k before you make it out of the EZ-Hab room bad...every time they get into a server type of build. They also get first trial of stuff that may or may not work, and has established themselves as people willing to work to test the game and provide thoughtful feedback. If something is not ready for prime time, isn't it better to get a handful of people to test it thoroughly and give feedback on it than to hear 300k people scream that their cheese got moved drowning out all the other voices?On the other hand, this is supposed to be open dev, so hiding stuff from us isn't fair lol
The lol at the end was meant to indicate that I was kinda joking, I do understand a 100% why it's necessary to keep EVO stuff for the EVO.EVO gets bad builds..REALLY bad...like 30k before you make it out of the EZ-Hab room bad...every time they get into a server type of build.

They may not always agree with each other, but when they do disagree, it's usually very respectfully as opposed to the rest of spectrum
They also TEST. They look at the testing focus and try to test those specific items that CIG needs data for, rather than run around and do stuff that has nothing to do with the data CIG is trying to collect. This way they can look through a small pile of high quality data to make improvements rather than search through the full septic tank of data looking for that diamond missing from your wife's engagement ring.
The game IS open development. You will get to see 99 percent of what the EVO sees during the 2-3 weeks they have it first, but it does no one any good to see a whole bunch of broken stuff.
Finally, EVO is always looking for more. If you want to do EVO, start testing the game, write up bug reports, contribute to the Issue Council, and don't be a bad apple on spectrum. If you constantly talk down the game on social media or spectrum, they will filter you out.
You can't apply for it, they are nominated by CIG invitation.How does one become Evo?
Indeed Evo is just unpaid QA, which is why to get into Evo you have to submit lots of bug reports, and to stay in Evo you have to submit lots of bug reports and participate in each build doing the task asked of that build. So it's not an I get into 3.14 early it's I get a build that has one feature they want to test I join up with other Evo pilots and test that feature.You can't apply for it, they are nominated by CIG invitation.
How to get the invitation? You just need to activly play the game, report bug in a meaningfull way and with consistence... eventually CIG will contact you and send you an invite.
Be avare 'tho: being and Evocati doesn't mean having and early access to content: those are group of players that actually work for testing and bugfixing, facing the worst build you can immagin and spending a LOT of time actually breaking the game to figure out the sequence event in a more reliable way.
No one is obbligated to accept the invitation, BUT if you do you have to be committed, EVO tsting is not for fun, is a part of QA developing.
