I can certainly see how even in this game, being on station might be as stupid as renting a room in an inn in ffxiv, If they manage to make the FPS portion good, and something worth taking part in on a station or planetside though, all the extra work will be worth it.

My issue with this game is that we are soon one year out from where we were supposed to have a game to play (basic, working, fun game) and we nothing but a buggy small scale arena fight and a hangar to walk around in.

I dont like Mr Smart and god knows I am still pissed about buying Battlecruiser back in the day, but if you look behind his sales talk about his game he has some good questions. So far RSI has not handled the response well. They are wasting resources on so much crap that has nothing to do with the basic game they were supposed to produce (the rest of the bullshit could have been DLCs ffs) that it seems their management is either clueless or non-existant.

You have to be reasonable here I think. Talk to be in a year or two if S42 is not released then you can "worry" or "get angry". Personally I don't have much invested in this game and it'll come out when it comes out. Until then I have other stuff to play. I don't reasonably expect anything from them after only 2-3 years of full production.

I might be missunderstanding this, and please correct me if I am, but was not the entire premise of the kickstarter to have what is supposed to be S42 released in november 2014? Im in for $25 so I am not trying to run around yelling "The sky is falling!" but I belive the reason that we do not have S42 yet is all these new features that they presented as funding goals. The game they stated they were going to make is growing out of control from where Im watching and that is simply bad management.

As I said, Im not that well informed since I just wanted a space game (and currently enjoy E-D so its not like Im in a rush) and what I get is "oh just wait another few YEARS and we will be finished, pinky promise!".

The game is most certainly delayed because of the amount of funding they were able to get, however the game is no longer being expanded and hasn't been growing based on funds for the past 25 million dollars.

They're still making more funding in a day than most Kickstarters get in their entire run. Now that AC is actually on a reasonably playable build, daily funding seems to be picking up.

Blah, forum frame cuts off the right side, can't embed right.

Can we get a resize feature for gfycat embedding or is that too difficult?

I mean it shouldn't be hard to cap it at the width of the container, assuming the code on the forum uses an iframe.

Live stream at gamescom right now, they just announced the Social module is releaseing this month.
so far the presentation has been physically painful to watch from a cringeiness perspective. The multicrew is actually pretty damn amazing

Well they've raised $427k so far today since they put that video out.
They also added tons of stuff for sale. But yeah, 427K in a day since the video...all they had to do is wave something shiny at people for them to open up their wallet again.

Even as absolutely cringeworthy as the presentation was they showed they can clearly put the game pieces together for the universe

I enjoyed seeing what appeared to be an Idris flying above them near the end of that video.

I do really want to see some large MV/capital ship combat in SC.

Gotta say, the ship boarding won me over. Pretty much unprecedented in gaming. Derek Smart must be really pissed.
