    So what other space games are worth a play?

    SW:TOR is okay, but it’s a WoW clone. There are some good SW Galaxies servers out there too. If you can find one, you want one pre-new game engine unless you like a leveling game…then SW:TOR is probably better. I am going to be plying Starfield. I’ve been playing some other BioWare BETHESDA...

    Be VERY careful with pallet wood. Many invasive tree species have made it to other places due to improper treatment of pallet wood, and they can easily be infested with termites. Proper treatment can prevent these problems, but oftentimes, these treatments need to be done before you start...

    Starfield - Discussion Thread

    I don't know where you are getting the 10m players. There are less than 5 million backers and you need to be a backer to play. IIRC, even free fly people need to register a backer account.

    SQ42 development status

    we will not see pyro for a while. They need several things working before opening up a separate system 1) jump points - no yet in game, no tech for it as of yet (yes, we had a demo, no, it doesn't count) 2) most critically, they need static server meshing up and running and working. So far, we...

    SQ42 development status

    honestly, they MIGHT be waiting for SC to be in a better place. Let's face it, SQ42 is not only a game in and of itself, it's a giant advertisement for SC. If they release SQ42 tomorrow and it goes and gets 20 million sales, how many people do you think would stick around in the PU if they...

    SC and your thoughts on grouping and interacting with other players

    Hey all, With all the talk about Starfield and it being solo vs multi-player, I thought I would ask a question on what you enjoy most about SC with regards to solo vs multi player. I am looking at both how you feel about group play and how you feel about other players. The choices are open to...

    Does CIG need to bring in a publisher? (video)

    That’s the thing. A publisher can enforce discipline when it is needed. Unfortunately, CIG needed it 6 years ago. I would have loved the game CIG came up with prior to fully physicalized planets. It wok.d have been populated with creatures, people, plants, and all of it would have worked and...

    Poll: Worth being an Avocado?

    Expect at least 1 major patch a day on ETF builds. I've seen some patches having 30-40 builds before it goes to Wave 1.

    Poll: Worth being an Avocado?

    You asked, I am not going to give an opinion, but I am going to give you some facts you need to consider. 1) you are going to be signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement. This means if you leak something...even on accident, and then determine that it was detrimental to their development and/or cost...

    Umm, no. it’s going to take months of work to get server meshing working correctly. If you think that full persistence was bad, this is yet another step down that road. 3.20 to. Y knowledge, isn’t even close to going to EVO. If they make it in Q3, it will be LATE Q3. We also don’t know how...

    haha, nope. If they are lucky, we will see 3.20 in September.

    Citizen Con ticket Sales dates and prices released:

    couple of things... CitizenCon isn't outside of what Blizzard or Square Enix charges for Blizz Con for Final Fantasy Fest (not to be confused with Fantasy Fest in Key West), which is right in the 2-300 dollar range. Here is the kicker though. Both Blizzard and SE have a huge number of games...

    If you're looking to buy a ship from RSI, buy one of mine from me instead? - Would be a great help

    Honestly, I have all the ships I want (not just need). The fact is, the game is have major teething problems right now. It’s also right after ILW, so many people have blown the amount they were planning on or used the LTI tokens they gave us to but those always available ships they wanted...

    Alienweek Warbond CCUs 2024 & 2023

    The BMM will not be ready this year, not anytime soon. They were making great strides, which was why they bumped up the prices as much as they did…but then they lost a lot of the key people on the effort. It would take a lot of time to get new people back up to speed on it, and even then...

    SQ42 development status

    Agreed. There are still a lot of things that need to be completed before SQ42 can go ahead. Erin Roberts supposedly said at least two years. I expect beta testing of the entire game (in house) will take at least 6 months or more, maybe even as many as 18-24 months depending on how many bugs...

    Starfield - Discussion Thread

    you make some really good points. No, this doesn't have all the bells and whistles that SC has in terms of fully explorable planets. In fact, it is much closer to what was envisioned in 2016/17 prior to the switch to physicalized planets where you would pick a point and it would put you down in...

    Polaris is not in SQ42. IIRC, it was developed in response to the actions in SQ42

    Question about ship packs

    From the included vessel FAQ Important: Loaners do not stack, and you will only ever receive one loaner of a vehicle. If you have multiple ships that grant the same secondary vessel, you will still only have access to one copy of that vessel. This will likely change in the future once these...

    Question about ship packs

    If you are referring to extra loaners...say, two packs have one idris each, correct, you only get the loaner for 1 idris. But if you buy a two pack, and each has a cutty black in it, you have two cutty blacks
