Sure. It might take a couple of posts, but I'll do my best. Just a point: The GLA is a document, the license agreement, negotiated between Crytek and CIG, but the document itself is the property of Crytek, since it is clearly not possible for CIG to grant itself a license to Crytek's...

Heh. I read this shit. I'm a former and potential future entrepreneur (We'll know by May this year), who owns some intellectual property, and holds 2 patents, as well as several hundred copyrights in software, and has participated in the construction of several dozen license grants: The...

It tends to do that as you get older. But here's something to sleep on: 10,000 light years away from here, there is a large nebula 1000 times the diameter of our solar system called G34.3. Why is that relevant? First, because the nebula is in the Constellation Aquila. Second, because G34.3...

What I wasn't sure of is why I have the Retaliator, Buck, and an extra hornet Hornet, an extra Connie, and two extra cutlass black's. (This is the list of "extras" in my inventory) It confused me a little as to which ones were the subscriber toys. Then I figured out there is an inventory...

So you hit the nail on the head, and why I was concerned. The way the insurance mechanic works has not been well explained by the community, or by some CIG employees. When I checked the RSI website, not the forums, you get a much clearer picture. According to the Insurance FAQ, and statements...

That is absolutely hilarious! So you get it in Financial software too? We used to say, "The light at the end of the tunnel is actually the headlight of the freight train carrying the next change request"

You guys are funny. I'm not complaining about LTI. I have LTI on most of my ship inventory. I am saying that if there is no in game mechanic that someone without insurance could use to get a ship back, then that is not a level playing field when compared with LTI. It's a financial issue...

What an unfortunate way to explain how it works. I gotta say, I do not like the way insurance is developing. You won't lose your ship, it won't be removed from your account, but you won't be able to use it until you "pay more". What's the difference between "you won't be able to use the ship"...

I just want to be clear about where I stand on this. I absolutely LOVE where they're going with this game. I'm critical of CIG, because what I do for a living closely resembles what they do for a living so I can be, but I am not negative about it. I'm also not insinuating anyone else is...

Actually this is because it really doesn't take much CPU power for a multi-threaded cpu to sort through the big ass RAM chunk that is paging your 40Gb file, It just takes time. The consequence is, your GPU is spending most of the time between frame rendering, wondering when the CPU will...

That's incredible. I've seen this on the St Lawrence river, where huge sheets of ice 3 and 4 feet thick are tossed into the air when the pressure builds up too high. It sounds like a sonic boom. CRACK! There's probably a lot more pressure behind frozen sea water when the tide comes in.

THAT is the quantum mastic tape! In Levski, there's a quantum spring too, it will reach up, grab you and make SURE you saw the texture of the front wall of the hanger bay. It's reached out and grabbed me after 2 quantum jumps after leaving Levski. One thing to try, is to turn your engines on...

You folks in the path of that Nor Easter, please take care. Don't go out if you don't know how to dress for that kind of weather. It's more dangerous than you think if you haven't experienced something like that before. I just don't want to hear that anyone died of exposure, or broke their...

Yes. Both New Jersey, and Oregon have laws that prohibit self serve gas stations. Oregon just passed a law that says they're now allowed in towns with less than 40K population or something like that. I remember when Ontario did it. It was really confusing for a long time, because diesel...

OH! I forgot the disclaimer. I was operating under the principle that it's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to ask for permission. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I'll be happy to help any way I can, but there are limits to what can be done if the game isn't optimized.

... Hey, did that little guy have a New Jersey accent? I had the exact same experience the first time I was in New Jersey!

I owe you a vote of thanks by the way. You had advice for me regarding take off's and the quantum mastic tape, I forgot where I wrote that so consider it liked. It works. You're also getting the networking part down too, engineers often get this stuff before even computer professionals...

That might be all she wrote, all it can do on your hardware for now. Clive also touched on something else, but didn't offer much explanation in his last paragraph. Ultimately he said, "Let's also not forget that performance is not the only goal here - we're also trying to achieve fidelity...

Just so you know, you're not wrong. It is oversimplified, but not incorrect. CIG is being partly ah... not quite misleading. It's not even a white lie, it's just strictly true, but not the whole truth. The server code, and the netcode have to do with object state calculations, and object...

Well, no he didn't. He said that a council is made up of people, not person. And he's both right and wrong, one person can't be a council. It kind of goes against the definition of the word "council". But it might be a council of imaginary friends, or maybe multiple personality disorder...
