Are people's expectations getting...weird?

[Radegast74]

I just saw this posted on reddit:

In the livestream, there's a few parts where the players are inside ships flying in the atmosphere and tilted almost 90° to the ground with doors open, but the player inside just sticks to the floor of the ship instead of falling out.

Is it intentional like the ships have their own gravity even inside atmospheres or are the players wearing magnetic boots or something?

I hope in time we will be able to do stuff like throw players trying to take over a ship by opening the side doors and doing barrel rolls

That's something I honestly can say I never thought of. (Now that I do think about it, if you could do that, then your coffee or beer will spill everytime you do a barrel roll).

I guess Chris Roberts (peace be upon him) could work that into the game...I hope people don't mind the game not coming out until 2025!

The game won't come out for 1-2 years after Squadron 42. That means late 2018/2020 is the earliest at this point. My guess is 2020-2022

This is all still early access stuff, just have patience.
Everything is subject to change.

Wow. Holy Fuck people (people on reddit) chill the Fuck out and let them design the goddamned game.

Yes, people's expectations are getting fucking ridiculous.

Sorry for the F-bombs.
/rant.

Fuckin right!

I thought that it should be that way. Ships have their own gravitational pull inside so you don't have to EVA to your seat. That's what the gravity generator does and by the looks of it, the engineer who made it needs to be given an award.

I agree that some expectations are pretty far fetched and its due to a lot of people not understanding project management. Scope creep is a real demon on projects like SC.

Specifically on the whole "when a ship tilts and people don't fall out" issue it never crossed my mind as an issue. Inside I'm just not even thinking about it because its a sci-fi game where some liberties are taken. The dark side of my brain says to such people "Who the fuck cares?!", but I'll temper that for now. ;)

This guy can't understand physics. or he never played in the neighborhood yard when he was a child.

<<there's a few parts where the players are inside ships flying in the atmosphere and tilted almost 90° to the ground with doors open, but the player inside just sticks to the floor of the ship instead of falling out.>>

The way the local physics works for all ships is, they have their own gravity that always attracts toward the floor, no matter whether the ship is in a gravity well of any sort, or in atmosphere, or has a door open. When the gravity generator is turned off inside a gravity well, then we will see if the area physics becomes local. Right now everything floats in space, but were you in a well with your ship sideways and the generator was turned off, you should fall toward the side of the ship, unless you are accelerating such that there is another inertial force to consider.

Thank you, far-fetched and ridiculous were the words I was trying to find this morning, but couldn't even after 2 cups of coffee.

The in-game lore has it that each ship has a gravity generator. I don't think that person understands how much that helps him overall, what I hear is that he wants it to be a certain way for one particular game play aspect, and doesn't realize that it may have a bunch of repercussions he won't like!

^ exactly. If he is doing barrel rolls, he is just going to be plastering the guys against the side of the ship, unless he has really good aim and can pinball them out a hole.

...getting weird?

They were weird from day one. Like a fine wine, they've just matured. Some are so mature they have a mortgage.

Sometimes you need to solve your own problems.

Like imports? No Problem.

Fuckin right!

Fuckity, fuck these fucking fuckers!

I've said it once, and I'll say it a thousand more times; If CIG doesn't implement animal husbandry, then this whole project has been a waste of everybody's time. I DEMAND my Banu mobile insemination schooner!

Fuckin' eh rights. Glad we're all speakin' the same language.

Swing sets come to mind.

Truth and Logic prevail. Huzzah!

Good thing there'll be an exploration variant of the 600. I'll be able to find you.
