It's not just an aspect of immersion its an aspect of risk/reward and gameplay balance. Right now they are balancing travel time around how quickly we can make money by mining and trading. The question that CIG has talked about they are attempting to grapple with is how to make travel time a...

Just remember there will be server limitations to the number of players that can accumulate into a given area. Currently, that has been set at 50 but we do not know what the future holds, but I'd bet an Aurora that the cap will not be above 1k players.

I still think it's bleak for Tesla which is why I have not picked up any of their stocks. I have to agree mostly with @sum1 that it is hope and the desire to see this kind of game made that allows me to invest in its future. But that hope is underpinned by the knowledge that this can all...

You mean our waterfall development cycle masquerading as Agile is not Agile? Beter yet standup meetings that stretch on for an hour every morning. Ah, the joys of software development where the new buz word is implemented without the understanding of what it is nor the stomach to take the...

The only time I've been in temperatures that cold was when I was in Carter Wisconsin. Found out soda cans can freeze inside ones hotel room if placed near the window.

Who knows but this year is supposed to be an early spring then again Stormfax Almanac's data shows that Phil's six-week prognostications have been correct about 39 percent of the time. If you wanted to run Vegas with those odds it would be best to bet against the rodent.

SC should join Test. Sounds like our kind of pilot.

Sort of. They were on the verge of being bankrupted and so needed cash. They still own licenses for the games they have created and it still allows them to make new games using the engine as they did not give up their rights to it. As I saw it originally it was a gamble to allow them enough...

It always feels like Monday is just lurking around the corner.

Not sure how stealthy the Polaris will be able to achieve. As for the Apollo, it will be interesting how far you can stretch a ship out of its intended role and still have it be useful.

This is the part that gets me excited about the game. I don't want to be stuck to in the bridge I want to be part of the away team. Or checking in on Scotty and finding out when we can go pew pew again.

I agree with a lot of this. The only thing I am still not sure about is if we will even be able to control territory. We do know its possible to have land claims and build bases but beyond that and their limited impact, there hasn't been any indication that we would be able to control...

This is always the hardest part of game design. Make the rewards to easy and they lose their value and the game itself becomes dull and the player population moves on. Make it too difficult and the game becomes frustrating and the player population moves on. There needs to be a progression...

It totally is pay to win. The only time it's not pay to win is when the only thing you can buy is the standard game. Any time you can buy items for the game that impact how you play and/or allows you to bypass time investment. But the question is not if its pay to win but if paying beyond...

It's my hope as well.

So ice road truckers is a thing.

This honestly is the billion-dollar question. I would say if SQ42 was ported to console then it has a chance of raking in lots of new cash but outside of that I am not sure how many PC gamers are waiting on the sidelines for the release of SQ42.

That's only because Cats are assholes too.

Wouldn't that be solved by the fact that we the players are but a small percent of the inhabitants of the SC verse and thus we could all own 350R's and still there would be millions more NPC's flying around in 300's and thus maintain the lore?

See what happens when you go to metric. You get only half your stuff.
