    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!

    @NaffNaffBobFace beat me to it, and the word luxury is used in at least two other places, in addition to the ship matrix as well...

    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...

    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.

    Starfield - Discussion Thread

    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.

    Starfield - Discussion Thread

    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.

    Starfield - Discussion Thread

    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...
