    Star Citizen community hitting cycle lows

    Which IP are you talking about? Wing Commander? IIRC, WC IP is property of EA games, not CR. Also, EA either liscensed it, or sold it to Piranha games Now, I might be wrong on it, and if I am, that's okay, but I thought that was one of the main reasons that SC is not WC Online.

    Star Citizen community hitting cycle lows

    They came up with the idea and the concepts 25 years ago. from the starfield wiki Starfield was originally trademarked on September 13, 2013. Pre-production for the game began sometime between 2012 and 2013, and active development began following the launch of Fallout 4 in November 2015.

    Starfield - Which version are you getting (poll)

    If having it 5 days early is important to you, get the premium. For me, my company gave us Friday before Labor Day (US) off, so I am off the 1st through the 4th, meaning I have a lot of time to play initially that I might not later on, so I am getting an early access version. HOWEVER, if you...

    Star Citizen community hitting cycle lows

    a couple of things CR has made announcements about major patches dropping in “a couple weeks”, then completely blew it off and didn’t say anything for a year. This was the lead-in to 3.0. Honestly, unless he says that it’s available today, there is no reason to believe him, he has lied...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    I wonder what the costs are between a PU server and a PTU server. let’s assume that people who just log in for the changes decide to wait for the PU and then behave in the same manner. They log in, see what changed, then log out. The exact same scenario as they initially mentioned, just put...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    I am thinking it makes them look desperate We know they made a very large acquisition this year We know revenues are down (not a ton, but if they were expecting another record, that could be an issue) We know they have recently built an expensive headquarters We know they expanded their...

    Outlaws

    Been looking at this for a bit. Lot of haters out there for the female only protagonist, but it doesn’t bother me…but in this day and age, allowing a custom hero avatar would have been nice (face, hair, skin, gender, etc). I just see it as more opportunity for people to see themselves as the...

    Turbulent joins Cloud Imperium Games

    CIG has been working with many other studios in the past, and some of those have been gobbled up by other companies. Given the nature of studio acquisitions these days, it makes sense that CIG secure one of their biggest partners so they can prevent loss of talent. Especially since they are...

    So what other space games are worth a play?

    Don’t give into the haters, Mass Effect:Andromeda was a decent game too

    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...

    New Desk

    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...
