    I can say, I like the new hanger.

    I don't have the double width hangar, must be because of a size 5 ship, or bigger, in your inventory. My ships are still on fire in the hangar and there is still no hangar persistence. You would think they could, at least, fix that.

    3.1 is live

    Jump in my Vanguard, since my Avenger is on cool down. Grab a delivery mission. Run to the wreck location, man the Vanguard sounds like it has plenty of power. Exit ship and it throws me through the roof of the exit. EVA to the cargo, pick up the cargo, go back to ship, takes 6 tries to get...

    3.1 is live

    Not overly impressed. Slight improvements, for example I can now go out 3 out of 4 doors on Ollisar instead of only 1 in 4. Frame rate, usually slightly better. Land on Daymar, try to get out, CTD. Second run, land on Daymar, pick up crime stat for getting too close to another ship on landing...

    I really, really want to like this game.

    They are lying about a few things. Either that or the entire team is grossly incompetent.

    I am not looking for anything. I am just venting.

    I really, really want to like this game.

    The frustration I am feeling is not game development but being talked down to while they pretend to be developing a game.

    I really, really want to like this game.

    I am not treating it as a final game, by any stretch of the imagination. I am tired of being lied to and their technobabble which they use to make themselves sound important while they ignore all good practices for software development.

    I really, really want to like this game.

    It has been a year and a half since using it and 8 years since reading the manual on it that we were using. We didn't use an overall term for it and I don't' remember the name of the manual. The real difference between the methods, from what I understand, is who gets the royalties or the...

    No because testing is the same especially if you are using Agile.

    I really, really want to like this game.

    I not only know what Alpha is, I know what Alpha is supposed to be and what testing should be going on if you ever want to progress out of alpha.

    Probably, but it is an opinion based on years of experience of what Agile actually is and what it is supposed to be. And Unlike CIG I have actually run QA that has published software. :)

    I really, really want to like this game.

    My burn out is based on the unprofessionalism, the stupid levels of feature creep and the attempts to BS us, the backers. I worked QA for a 3D Graphics Company from 2007 to 2011 and then ran Software QA for that company from 2011-2016. I look at the crap they let through and have to ask...

    I really, really want to like this game.

    I really want to like Star Citizen. Last summer when they delayed the release of 3.0 they said it was due to stability and because it needed more polish. It turns out neither polish or stability are all that important to CIG. We had a 3.0 delivery that was not ready for prime time. With no...

    BUK questions

    After Noobifier did a video titled "What the BUK" CIG issued some clarifications. The difference between a BUK and a Combo pack, at last word is nomenclature. Pick the one you like the color scheme of and get the other combo kits/BUKs. Note at last sale there is a price difference depending on...

    Is Killing Justified in Star Citizen?

    I prefer the simpler version that is Maxim 13: "Do unto others." The 70 Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries. http://schlockmercenary.wikia.com/wiki/The_Seventy_Maxims_of_Maximally_Effective_Mercenaries

    Guns. Good or Bad?

    I have been around firearms most of my life. My first experience firing a rifle was when I was 6. In the army I qualified expert with pistol, rifle and machine gun. I have fired revolvers, bolt action and semi-automatic pistols. I have fired single shot to fully automatic long arms. Rocket...

    Squadron 42 Newsletter email annoucnement!!

    I believe Gropo is used by the Brits. (Well the Brits and Babylon 5.) Starship Troopers used Cap Troopers and Apes. According to the book because of the method of insertion and because of the a apearance of the Marauder Suits they wore. "Come on you apes, you want to live forever?"

    Question about people/troop transport

    For the moment since the Tali carries none that is very correct. With two cargo bays the Tali should carry, based on size of the bays, between 100 and 130, (The old specs said 128 but I think that is a little large.) which puts it above the Andromeda but below the Taurus.
