I personally wish they woild just finish the renderer, and not touch it, other than bug fixes. Then they could actually build the final shaders for things.

We were told small jump points were being reconsidered. A Freelancer, in any case, is a medium ship, not a small ship. Providing the fan base doesn't explode and funding dries up, CIG has no financial incentive to allow small ships to be capable of interstellar operations.

Or dying of old age. :) Tech wise, Star Citizen is behind the times already. I really don't see a launch, or even Beta in time for SC to still be relevant in the industry.

It is a question of expectations. As for game loop, Bounty Hunters are in business because people with a price on their head tend to run.

I want a Pegasus.

When I think "best damn space sim ever" I expect to be travelling the stars, not making the shuttle run from Phoebus to Europa.

25 years from now I am unlikely to care. Given the rate of technological advancement, CIG is likely to be a distant memory for most of us, 25 years from now. Light haulers depends on what you classify as light. Smaller than a Cutlass is likely to be restricted to in system due to fuel range...

The Red is listed as the starter ship for the Medical profession. Unlike an Aurora, or other single person ship, the Red can stabilize a patient. The Red has a crew of 2 and a Medium Quantum fuel tank and drive, making it one of the few profession starter ships with an, expected, interstellar...

@Thalstan Thanks for your thoughts. They make for an interesting discussion. Vanguards are supposed to have a multi-jump range. So medium drives and medium tanks are implied to be intersystem, not just intrasystem. The Hull-C is a large, not capital ship. I doubt it will have range longer...

I don't think we will see Bengals in that role. Krakens, yes. Liberators, yes. Something like but bigger than the Liberator, sure. But that isn't the way people play now, nor is it the kind of thing we hear in the various forums.

BTW I am one of those Liberator pilots. :) I bought it mostly to move my better half's and my short range ships, which we intentionally limited because of range considerations, but I am open to making a buck or three moving other people's ships. :) The Eclipse is a placeholder, not sure for...

I agree that there will be lots of screaming. But will it hurt funding, since people may either be ticked enough to not fund, or decide they have to have the bigger ships, that cost more.

Or a Liberator pilot.

With the Misc Expanse joining the ranks of profession starter ships, it may be time to consider something. The profession starter ships, for the most part, have things in common. They are single seaters, with the basics to get the job done. It gives the player a chance to, "as the Earthers like...

You could always stash a 10KT nuke between the refineries, for just such an occasion. Failing that: View: https://youtu.be/ST9OkLjTu9Q

Cheaper than I expected. (No I'm not buying one. :) )

Lumberyard is no more. Its base has been branched and released as O3DE. That is the version that has all the cool features. That is also not the version CIG is using. Even with that, I don't think O3DE is up to the same tasks as either Unreal or Unity. While I'm not saying these 4 guys could...

You're right, underdelivered is incorrect. In 10 years CIG hasn't finished anything, even the basic tech to build a game on. It is a serious understatement. Nothing is delivered. Not the database, not the render engine, not the tech to make planets, not a single ship, not the flight model etc.

The Xbox isn't much different from a low end gaming PC running, essentially, windows. The PS5 is more difficult, since it doesn't run something close to Windows.

It's still the whales. They are either enticing more people to become whales than they are losing or they are enticing more of the whales to spend even more.
