I just don't feel like finding where that was said. I've already seen it, so I don't need to see it again. Anyway, FD obviously hasn't dropped everything to port the game to consoles. A major content update is in beta right now, and another one will be close behind it.

Ah, yes, another case of you believing that mystery content is hidden in the game. I mean, it seems like ships with fully built interiors would be something you show off. They post renders of new ships all the time and updated old ships, but never their interiors. I think you should just admit you're just making things up.

They aren't really fully built, it's just that all the bare architecture is there.

Which means they haven't built the ship interiors. Even if they have gotten as far as grayboxing the interiors, they're not complete, which is why I sarcastically noted that they have not added them yet.


Which leads me into my next point, judging how many issues Star Citizen has tackled in the past few years, I wonder if Frontier really understands the scope of building fully modeled ship interiors. The Anaconda, the largest playable ship at roughly 280 meters, is larger than pretty much every Star Citizen ship. Currently the largest ship nearing completion in Star Citizen is the Idris, a frigate class ship that is about 239 meters long. CIG has not only taken years developing the interior (which I could post, by the way), but has a team working on it that is larger than the entire Frontier team combined. They even estimate it will take roughly 50-70 players or NPCs to crew effectively.

Given this, I am once again going to say that I doubt the ship's in Frontier will ever be available to walk in, and if they are, Frontier is going to half ass the hell out of it.

I'm glad we could agree that Elite is dumb. Now buy Scam Shitizen and we can play a real multiplayer game with spaceships.

Okay, let me just stroll down to the money store and take out a loan for $10,000 so I can use a ship that's actually fun.

Actually, they just added the credit system in Arena Commander so that you can get additional ships without paying le real monies. Thus, with the lowest Arena Commander package sitting at $40, you get more game for almost half the cost of the E:D beta.

Just a heads-up, Frontier almost doubled the bounties on NPCs, making bounty hunting a bit more viable. It's not more content or anything, but hey, it is something.

Man, E:D is weird:

Quote
To the CMDR who interdicted me and pasted the wrong warning... I understand you probably meant to CTRL + V a fancy warning message you had copied to clipboard at one point to me, but didn't realize you had copied a link to a porn video about fisting. Your immediate log out afterwards tells me you're embarrassed... well I'm here to tell you, I looked up the URL and there's nothing wrong with porn ok? Even fisting if that's your thing. Be yourself.

Maybe weird, but I can respect this.

I'm not saying the post itself is weird, but he is right, normally pirates paste some long informational message that says "give me ur stuff or die in 5 seconds" sort of deal, it's weird to me that someone was watching porn and playing E:D in close enough time proximity that the URL got onto the clipboard instead of the message.

So, PP2, the wing player grouping system is in the game now. Do you actually play this anymore? Just let me know.

I really have no idea. I've never even been given evidence that he actually bought the game.

I don't think he's played it at all. I haven't seen a post where he claimed to play it either.
