    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Mary Sue is not a character we need.

    should we have an ingame channel for the org?

    That too. At least Point Defense.

    should we have an ingame channel for the org?

    Since we already have in game voice and video chat, and channels, it kind of begs the questions as to why this hasn't been delivered.

    should we have an ingame channel for the org?

    Yes, we should. It's been one of those features they haven't bothered to deliver.

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    And Disney+ lost 4 million subscribers in Q1, instead of the projected gain of 1.5 million.

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    The primary objection is poor writing.

    SQ42 development status

    There are several reasons I still have mine. It is one of the ships that got me to pledge for SC. I really like the aesthetics, both inside and out. It is my one large crew ship for loading up and playing with friends. The Hammerhead, which I've considered as a replacement, doesn't look like it...

    SQ42 development status

    My point is, this is the exact same state the tracker was in 2 years ago with regards to the SQ42 teams. The work lines ended and the teams had nothing new on the schedule. They purged that far back on the tracker or you could go back and see it. Note John Crew said, recently, that the...

    SQ42 development status

    The same thing happened 2 years ago. I wouldn't read anything into that. Just because a line on the tracker ends, that does not mean the work is done, it's ready for launch, or it has even been worked on at all. For example, two years ago lines for 31 chapters completed, as did the Retaliator...

    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...
