    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    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...

    They don't have to "stick it out," they just have to buy.

    The ships make their most money at the initial sale. I do believe it is all about the money. If it wasn't the game would already be complete, and they wouldn't do concept sales at all.

    They sold the X-1, the Ranger, the Storm, the G-12 etc. and made money. Some concept ships are in game others aren't. Either way, CIG sells them and makes money.

    They needed a reason for the ground vehicles before they could sell them. But whatever the reason,CIG will do anything to sell assets.

    Starfield - Discussion Thread

    I haven't seen anything but the promo videos. Since starhips have to be able to land on most planets, they are going to be able to handle severe weather. The whole "bad weather" excuse is just so CIG can sell ground vehicles.

    SC and your thoughts on grouping and interacting with other players

    My wife and I play games together. Star Citizen doesn't allow proper solo play, much less group play, to date. It's a space sim but flying with a wingman, even when the wingman is in the same IRL room with you is difficult, with the lag, stutter, and lack of visual indicators makes that very...

    Like Star Citizen, it is likely to have nothing of interest where you can't land.

    If you can't fly a starship, you are unlikely to be able to drive.

    Starfield - Discussion Thread

    When you have a Starship that can maneuver in Atmo, and land where you need it to land, ground vehicles aren't really necessary.

    Poll: Worth being an Avocado?

    Only if you are the only one testing. Someone else might have also hit the same bug. Now if you don't have steps to reproduce, that's a different story.

    Poll: Worth being an Avocado?

    From my years of running QA for a software company, and running groups like the evocati, it doesn't appear that CIG has a clue what they're doing with testing. They also don't take criticism well. Yes, you get to see the broken stuff first. So if you're into that....

    My guess is new features for professions that aren't ready yet.

    Starfield - Discussion Thread

    3.20 is listed as a target date of Q3 2023. In the past, that typically means IAE. Even if it is out for CitizenCon (22 Oct) that still doesn't leave enough time for a major working patch by mid December (when they go on their winter break.) I'm thinking no sooner than end of Q1 2024, and I...

    3.20 doesn't have Pyro listed. Pyro won't be before 2024 and 4.0 at the earliest.

    Starfield - Discussion Thread

    I didn't say Starfield would cause that much drop off. I was responding to: Pyro launching end of this year, early next was predicated on static server meshing being in the Q1 patch 2023 or Q2 at the latest. Surprise, CIG missed another self imposed deadline. I've been comparing Starfield to...

    My new fleet so far

    The Carack comes with an Ursa and a Pices. (Says so on the sales page.) A later picture shows an Aquila instead of an Andromeda, that is also supposed to come with an Ursa and a Merlin (from the sales page). The matrix is wrong calling those Ursas loaners. With those two ships, you should have...

    Alienweek Warbond CCUs 2024 & 2023

    The BMM isn't going to get released any time soon. Work has stopped and resources have been reallocated. It's not a Squadron 42 ship, and everything on it is bespoke.

    SQ42 development status

    Who wants it in Squadron 42? I haven't heard anyone from CIG say it was to be in there, and have heard that it wasn't, so it wasn't high on the priority list.
