"In case there was any genuine confusion, Alpha 2.0 (currently
on the PTU) uses the 64-bit double precision we've been developing to
let us have very large maps. It is NOT a series of separate instances
that you 'jump' to; all that space is 'there,' and the game tracks where
you are in it. "
Concerning the discussion on a rumoured complete SC Cry-Engine re-write for DX12 ("they have to rebuild from scratch"):
"There is no "engine rewrite"; as with any project, the folks
building the nuts and bolts of the thing will continue to adapt to the
latest technology as it becomes available, whether that's working to
support the latest iteration of the Oculus Rift or to benefit from the
hooks and improvements with the most recent DirectX. The process of
keeping current is part of any long term project, because (from a
technical standpoint) the world a game is released into isn't the same
one that existed during it's conception. It is absolutely wrong to imply
that something as ordinary and necessary as supporting the latest
DirectX is along the same lines as switching engines or rebuilding your
game from scratch. It isn't, at all. It's the industry standard and it
makes for a better game."
If you think this game doesnt have features and isnt hard into development, go watch someone stream it. The game is on track, and its looking good, its still pre-alpha, no other game that looked this good pre-alpha would get this much shit if it wasnt SC.
You seem very angry...does it just burn your britches that you and people like Derek Smart were wrong? SQ42 will release and so will the PU. They'll both be exceptional games.
He did nothing but bringing up a quote.
And you bring up Derek Smart - this is all you SC fans do: Someone makes a critical comment and you start start chanting "Derek Smart Derek Smart Derek Smart"
The same chanting each time because you guys don't know how else to deal with valid critical points.

You see it for what it is, I see it for what it is which also means lots of other people also see it for what it is and that's enough for me.

Amazing how Erillion is never wrong, no matter what you say he will counter it with more BS that has nothing to do with the point you just made. A lot of the times I really think he could be Roberts because a man that has no clue how to run and be the main boss at CIG would do exactly what Erillion is doing and saying.
Two things Roberts and Erillion does is play word and number games. Just so it fits into their way of thinking and how the company is never wrong. Just no reason to ever respond to them when they write stuff, in their head it will always be true even though it is nothing but BS!
I have gotten to the point of skipping every post Erillion makes. If I'm scrolling through a discussion and see his name, I scroll on by. He is NOT participating in normal forum discussions and never actually has. He is a crusader and quite annoying.
Check out the post lists. Erillion starts 80% of the discussions and ends them as well.
Having opinions is healthy but being a crusader in a forum is another story.

I hope he is way, way, way oversimplifying there. If not, this game is going to have epic lol desync issues.

We have something in common as I'm 62. While I'm in good health, it is necessary at this age not to get overly stressed and Erillion will definitely get your blood pressure up. LOL!

64b: It would be a hassle to have all 10km a loading point - but as I said we will see how the instancing (LOD) of the ships work (especially if they are near and in 2 different segments) - You know those LOD instance bubbles they showed up a graphic last year.
DX12: It is no problem at all to change the DX Versions, the libraries are independend and backward compatible, it's the internal thing and some new shader options. Another story would it be if they decide to rework all shaders.

It is a tad ironic that you should say that Erillion is never wrong...Pot....meet Kettle. I mean as much as Erillion may be a crusader, you're the Yin to his Yang, and if you're honestly 61 with heart problems and you're arguing about the existence, or lack thereof, of a game that you may or may not live to see, the question of maturity sits squarely in your court. You certainly aren't helping your chances.
Oh, and BTW, I have given you AMPLE logical answers to questions you've proposed in the past and you simply ignore any sort of logic. So as much as you'd like to think that Erillion is the problem, I'll tell you the same thing I tell my children and hopefully it will resonate, "Sometimes, if everyone is disagreeing with you, it's not that they don't like you, it could be that you are wrong." Being in a state of "wrong" is something I've never heard come from you.

These cheap, diversionary tactics created explicitly as a rallying point have no part of any reasonable discussion and just come across as childishly desperate measures.
Two things...
1. Showing a quote that proves the game is in a more advanced stage when a lesser stage was used as cause for issues is in no way "cheap" or "diversionary". The poster refuted a statement with a fact.
2. How does the second sentence make the first sentence more rational? The first sentence is a gaggle of nonsense and the second sentence is a cop-out because someones point about the current state of the game and its current stage of development was wrong but rather than refute with facts or any kind of evidence you posted what is quite possibly the most extreme case of drivvle I have seen on this forum in years.

I will only respond to there being a game. Even Erillion says he agrees there is no actually game here. But I guess you missed that part. Like I said I like Erillion and I disagree with him on a lot of issues but he does have my respect on how he keeps the faith. Have to admire a person like that.

You seem to be missing how this originated, so I can appreciate why you might be confused. I corrected someone using the pre-alpha term and I provided a link to show that the head honcho wasn't calling his game pre-alpha anymore. That should have been the end of that. Someone else then joined the conversation declaring that my comment was angry and that by some wierd twisting of logic it showed affliation to dsmart aka "hurr durr dsmart".
That is what I was referring to. A lot of comments that may be perceived as critical are quite often totally dismissed by throwing out a "hurrr durr dsmart" instead of trying to actually discuss a point. The "hurr durr dsmart" is the cheap, diversionary, rallying point. Is that clear?

Why is how Brenics chooses to live his life based on his own personal circumstances up for you to question?
Posted: December 2 Edited: December 2 by WLeverett_CIG
Hi everyone,
We've got a few channels in which we will start providing Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 PTU information.
Initially,
we were planning on a smaller, closed test, but we immediately opened
it up to allow livestreaming and screenshot sharing, plus added more
groups of testers. Starting with this next update, we'll be hitting all
of these channels starting with the next patch, and we thought we'd
provide an overview of what you can expect from us plus all of the links
you need.
What you can expect:
- For important
service-wide announcements, we'll now be making posts in Live Service
Notifications here in the forums, on Reddit, and in the new #announcement channel in Discord. - We'll now be making Patch Notes available on both the RSI site via the Live Service Notification forum and on the PTU site. - For communicating with other playtesters, we strongly encourage that you use Discord. - The best way to report 2.0 PTU bugs and game feedback is the PTU Issue Council.
Discord
has been a very useful tool for working with players and sharing
information in realtime. We'd love for you to join us there as it's the
best way to communicate on testing status and goals, plus in
coordinating with your fellow testers. We're quite active there, and
we've created a channel specifically for PTU updates called #announcements there for official updates.
The
Live Service Notifications category is where we'll post info on patches
and updates. We previously had not been using this since PTU 2.0 was
initially going to be a small test group. However, we've opened it up to
quite a few players now and it makes sense to treat this as a full
service publish. Inside each post will have the link to the latest full
patch notes.
Reddit
has been a very helpful instrument in relaying and extracting
information, and is especially helpful to us in gathering information
quickly on an isolated topic.
We
have left up the Test Pilot HQ 2.0 PTU Feedback category on our forums
as some players prefer to congregate there. We'll make sure that we post
important information here from now, but most of our limited time we
have to gather info is spent on other channels. We'd like to encourage
players to use Discord when possible, and to use the PTU Issue Council
to share bug reports and game feedback.
*** Patch Notes ***
We'll now be publishing our full Patch Notes on both the regular RSI website and the PTU site.
Haven't heard of any plans to add more testers at this point. We've got a
good number right now, and we would probably push to Live before adding
more to PTU.
"So, loaner ships have been a part of the Star Citizen development
experience for quite some time. If you own a ship that isn't ready to
fly, we provide you with a playable alternative until it is. Pretty
straightforward.
With 2.0, we're revising the matrix to be as
simple as possible. All unflyable multi-crew ships will be given an
Andromeda as the loaner, and all unflyable single-seaters will be given a
Hornet. Yes, there are a few exceptions, but that's the basic rule
going forward. This is currently in effect on the PTU, and will go into
effect on LIVE servers when 2.0 arrives."
There is a complete matrix for every known ship and the respective loaner ships at the link above.

See that's just it. It's one thing if you have reason to believe he has a questionable motivation such as being involved with a competing project for example. But that's different than what happened here. You are judging him. Even in this post you used the term "wasting" and that, within the context of your previous post is implying that he's wasting the remainder of his time engaging in this debate.

That's his choice to make.
Are you judging me now? You make the assumption that I don't have reason to believe that he has questionable motivation. If you took the time to review his post history you'd see quite clearly that I have given him many reasonable and logical answers to his questions, including one in which he stated that if someone gave him a reasonable explanation he'd stop posting on the subject, which I did. So, yes, I have reasonable expectation to believe (including through his apparent fascination with DS, and being an admitted supporter of DS) that he has questionable motivation.
You are right,though, that is his choice to make, the same way that I've decided to waste my time writing logical responses into SC threads.
Both sides of this game are pretty pathetic. Each name calling and trying to look like they are on the right side of this issue. Instead of acting like adults and letting people spend as they want, like what they want, or dislike what they want without having to trying to justify their positions by bashing someone else's.

Instead of acting like adults and letting people spend as they want, like what they want, or dislike what they want without having to trying to justify their positions by bashing someone else's.
Other companies will adapt this scheme to sell their assets to the gamers way before the game can show up anything, just to have the "gonna catch them all" feeling or just to have a better ships than the "noobs". You can see this behavior on the SC forums every day, the voice of the big spenders weight more than the voice of the poor.
Other than that is that CR obviously thinks that the money will pour endlessly, the comment "We can finish the game if the founding stops today" is nonsense at this stage this may have been valid in early 2014 but not anymore.
I am an ex SOE employee; now independend developer and to use any crowdfunding is a good idea to show your project, to start your game, get assets paid, get scripts programmed but to milk the gamers with selling them concepts is crossing the line for me.
Now go tell all the heroine addicts to spent their money how they want, they are adults. Just don't give a s*** about how they slipped into this and how their mind was mezmerized.
SC became a game of money and hype - unfortunately games should be for fun.
The cake is a lie.

Someone makes a critical comment and you start start chanting "Derek Smart Derek Smart Derek Smart"
The same chanting each time because you guys don't know how else to deal with valid critical points.
You see it for what it is, I see it for what it is which also means lots of other people also see it for what it is and that's enough for me.
These cheap, diversionary tactics created explicitly as a rallying point have no part of any reasonable discussion and just come across as childishly desperate measures.
Sometimes I want to call him Chris Roberts Jr. < This is a joke not an attack! :-D

Enjoy and know the truth always comes to light!
We have something in common as I'm 62. While I'm in good health, it is necessary at this age not to get overly stressed and Erillion will definitely get your blood pressure up. LOL!
It would be a hassle to have all 10km a loading point
DX12:
It is no problem at all to change the DX Versions, the libraries are independend and backward compatible, it's the internal thing and some new shader options.
Another story would it be if they decide to rework all shaders.
When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it.
The cake is a lie.
It is a tad ironic that you should say that Erillion is never wrong...Pot....meet Kettle. I mean as much as Erillion may be a crusader, you're the Yin to his Yang, and if you're honestly 61 with heart problems and you're arguing about the existence, or lack thereof, of a game that you may or may not live to see, the question of maturity sits squarely in your court. You certainly aren't helping your chances.
Oh, and BTW, I have given you AMPLE logical answers to questions you've proposed in the past and you simply ignore any sort of logic. So as much as you'd like to think that Erillion is the problem, I'll tell you the same thing I tell my children and hopefully it will resonate, "Sometimes, if everyone is disagreeing with you, it's not that they don't like you, it could be that you are wrong." Being in a state of "wrong" is something I've never heard come from you.

It was explained in the very next sentence for anyone who didn't get it.
1. Showing a quote that proves the game is in a more advanced stage when a lesser stage was used as cause for issues is in no way "cheap" or "diversionary". The poster refuted a statement with a fact.
2. How does the second sentence make the first sentence more rational? The first sentence is a gaggle of nonsense and the second sentence is a cop-out because someones point about the current state of the game and its current stage of development was wrong but rather than refute with facts or any kind of evidence you posted what is quite possibly the most extreme case of drivvle I have seen on this forum in years.

There is no finished game yet, neither the solo-game Squadron 42 nor the multiplayer Persistent Universe.

You seem to be missing how this originated, so I can appreciate why you might be confused.
I corrected someone using the pre-alpha term and I provided a link to show that the head honcho wasn't calling his game pre-alpha anymore. That should have been the end of that.
Someone else then joined the conversation declaring that my comment was angry and that by some wierd twisting of logic it showed affliation to dsmart aka "hurr durr dsmart".
That is what I was referring to. A lot of comments that may be perceived as critical are quite often totally dismissed by throwing out a "hurrr durr dsmart" instead of trying to actually discuss a point. The "hurr durr dsmart" is the cheap, diversionary, rallying point. Is that clear?

We've got a few channels in which we will start providing Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 PTU information.
Initially, we were planning on a smaller, closed test, but we immediately opened it up to allow livestreaming and screenshot sharing, plus added more groups of testers. Starting with this next update, we'll be hitting all of these channels starting with the next patch, and we thought we'd provide an overview of what you can expect from us plus all of the links you need.
What you can expect:
- For important service-wide announcements, we'll now be making posts in Live Service Notifications here in the forums, on Reddit, and in the new #announcement channel in Discord.
- We'll now be making Patch Notes available on both the RSI site via the Live Service Notification forum and on the PTU site.
- For communicating with other playtesters, we strongly encourage that you use Discord.
- The best way to report 2.0 PTU bugs and game feedback is the PTU Issue Council.
Links:
*** Discord Text/Voice Chat: https://discord.gg/0dOJaNbubQie6CZN ***
Discord has been a very useful tool for working with players and sharing information in realtime. We'd love for you to join us there as it's the best way to communicate on testing status and goals, plus in coordinating with your fellow testers. We're quite active there, and we've created a channel specifically for PTU updates called #announcements there for official updates.
*** PTU Issue Council: https://ptu.cloudimperiumgames.com/community/issue-council ***
The PTU Issue Council is the place to provide all bugs and game feedback gathered from 2.0 PTU testing.
*** Live Service Notifications: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/categories/live-service-notifications ***
The Live Service Notifications category is where we'll post info on patches and updates. We previously had not been using this since PTU 2.0 was initially going to be a small test group. However, we've opened it up to quite a few players now and it makes sense to treat this as a full service publish. Inside each post will have the link to the latest full patch notes.
*** Reddit Star Citizen: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/ ***
Reddit has been a very helpful instrument in relaying and extracting information, and is especially helpful to us in gathering information quickly on an isolated topic.
*** RSI Forums: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/categories/ptu-feedback ***
We have left up the Test Pilot HQ 2.0 PTU Feedback category on our forums as some players prefer to congregate there. We'll make sure that we post important information here from now, but most of our limited time we have to gather info is spent on other channels. We'd like to encourage players to use Discord when possible, and to use the PTU Issue Council to share bug reports and game feedback.
*** Patch Notes ***
We'll now be publishing our full Patch Notes on both the regular RSI website and the PTU site.
Haven't heard of any plans to add more testers at this point. We've got a good number right now, and we would probably push to Live before adding more to PTU.
Thanks and have a great day!

"So, loaner ships have been a part of the Star Citizen development experience for quite some time. If you own a ship that isn't ready to fly, we provide you with a playable alternative until it is. Pretty straightforward.
With 2.0, we're revising the matrix to be as simple as possible. All unflyable multi-crew ships will be given an Andromeda as the loaner, and all unflyable single-seaters will be given a Hornet. Yes, there are a few exceptions, but that's the basic rule going forward. This is currently in effect on the PTU, and will go into effect on LIVE servers when 2.0 arrives."
There is a complete matrix for every known ship and the respective loaner ships at the link above.

I don't think I questioned how he is living his life, I made observations based on my interactions with him. How he chooses to live his life is completely up to him. There certainly isn't a lack of people wasting their time on the SC debate, myself included.

That's his choice to make.
Are you judging me now? You make the assumption that I don't have reason to believe that he has questionable motivation. If you took the time to review his post history you'd see quite clearly that I have given him many reasonable and logical answers to his questions, including one in which he stated that if someone gave him a reasonable explanation he'd stop posting on the subject, which I did. So, yes, I have reasonable expectation to believe (including through his apparent fascination with DS, and being an admitted supporter of DS) that he has questionable motivation.
You are right,though, that is his choice to make, the same way that I've decided to waste my time writing logical responses into SC threads.

You can see this behavior on the SC forums every day, the voice of the big spenders weight more than the voice of the poor.
Other than that is that CR obviously thinks that the money will pour endlessly, the comment "We can finish the game if the founding stops today" is nonsense at this stage this may have been valid in early 2014 but not anymore.
I am an ex SOE employee; now independend developer and to use any crowdfunding is a good idea to show your project, to start your game, get assets paid, get scripts programmed but to milk the gamers with selling them concepts is crossing the line for me.
Now go tell all the heroine addicts to spent their money how they want, they are adults. Just don't give a s*** about how they slipped into this and how their mind was mezmerized.
SC became a game of money and hype - unfortunately games should be for fun.
