    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    I've watched two episodes of Rebels. It appeared to be written for kids, and was poor, shallow story telling. (And it wasn't season 1 but season 4 a pair of episodes connected to the Mandalorian series.) I watched most of Clone Wars, which was before Disney, better than what Disney has done but...

    Long term persistence

    We are supposed to have: Every dynamic object in the game should include states of ships (which should include MFD choices, weapon groups and lighting). Across servers should mean if your ship is on the pad at an outpost, or getting blown off the pad so it is above the pad, and you 30K while...

    Long term persistence

    At 4 systems per year, it's still 25 years away.

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    It's the inconsistency in the main characters' motivations. It's the glaring plot holes. It's the absurdity of the main focus of the story. It is the lack of depth of characters and lack of character development. It is the "side quests" that are "important" but abandoned almost as soon as...

    Long term persistence

    In Lindbergh's time the Airports had beacons, and radios. Aircraft had a mechanical horizon you could see under all circumstances, a functional altimeter and proper charts. An alpha is supposed to improve and move forward to release not remain static.

    Long term persistence

    Clouds, I wouldn't mind if I had an ILS. (For those that need to google ILS is Instrument Landing System, for cloudy days where you are flying under Instrument Flight Rules.) The starports, still, don't even have a beacon. The horizon indicator and altimeter lack contrast with the background, so...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Lucas told good stories. Disney lost that abilty a while ago. The Mandalorian inconsistent crap is not limited to Season 3. Mando is a bounty hunter, so what's he doing with a single seat fighter? How do you bring back a bounty dead or alive in an N1? The "kid" goes everywhere he goes...

    Long term persistence

    Well I logged in for the first time in about 18 months. I'm not seeing much in terms of progress. What is persistent: Trash you leave lying around. Bugs. Clouds blocking your view so you can't find the starport. Whats not persistent: My weapon group choices. My MFD choices. Light switch...

    So what other space games are worth a play?

    For an MMO, Star Wars, The Old Republic.

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Bad writing example. The Mandalorian In season 1: Mando doesn't trust droids. Then, for no apparent reason, Mando gets over his distrust of droids. In season 3: For no apparent reason, Mando is back to his distrust of droids, except for one droid which self-destructed in a lava river. Then he...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Dave and John have publicly praised KK. There was plenty of time to replace Gina between Season 2 and 3, but go ahead and show where she fit into season 3. Obviously she doesn't, except as a potential cameo. Given the Mando scenes in Boba Fett, there isn't much of a role for Cara Dune in season...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Who at Disney said KK screwed it up? Fans have said it, but AFAIK, nobody at Disney has said it. Dave Filoni and John Favreau haven't said it in any interviews I can find. Dave Filoni and John Favreau are the two responsible for The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett. They are responsible for...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    It's not the character that's the problem, it's the writing. Obi-Wan has been around much longer than Ahsoka. The character was created by George Lucas. Boba Fett was also created by George Lucas and has been around longer than Ahsoka. The Mandalorian series started OK but quickly turned to...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    I've been watching Disney butcher the Star Wars IP for too long. Ahsoka was a great character before Disney, as was Obi-Wan-Kenobi. The Kenobi story was awful! The Book of Boba Fett was horrible. The Mandalorian Season 2 was poorly written but kept afloat by cameos. The Mandalorian Season 3...

    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    The Razor LX doesn't give up any maneuverability. It's a little faster and gives up the missiles in return. That's hardly luxury. So the sales page, as usual, doesn't reflect the ship it describes. The Fury is, IMHO, a waste of money as it lacks a quantum drive, and I have a Liberator in my...

    The Razor LX is still listed as luxury.

    Starfield - Discussion Thread

    CIG makes more money each year not finishing the game. They've been 2-3 years away from finished for 12 years. There is one system, and in the past 6 years, since they introduced the first planetary bodies, they still haven't even finished the Stanton system. The planets, even the "cities," are...
