Compared to SCs pilots ability to actually fight, no skills here except for the abilities of the player them selves.

So if a player is good enough, getting ganked by 5 pirate ships might be a bad mistake for those pirates.

If you were one of the early backers or got someone to LTI your ship and without any notion of 'permanent loss', how can losing your ship in Star Citizen ever be considered a mistake?

LTI only covers hull value. Maybe you could name a game where the equipment can cost much more than the ship itself?

SC announced another million-worth goal: alternative starter ship. For a million.

It seems CIG devs becomes as ineffective as CCP devs at actual development of their game.

Be noted, this feature has been added to launch, which means it will take extra resources in order to not delay launch. The other stretch goals are post-launch development goals.

Certainly CR is in a weird position: people keep throwing money his way but they still do it in exchange for future features. At some point, the "pledging" must end, but, how and when? A set date? A set development goal? A set amount of money?

It is kind of the big difference between the two.

EvE it is who has the ability to click on the target and press F1

To be brutally honest with you lot, the only thing that could convert me into a diehard Star Citizen cheerleader that wants to spend hundreds of dollars on nothing, would be if Chris Roberts did a proper space flight sim with this in mind.

If I want a arcade experience, I'd play any of the FreeSpace (available on GOG) games, X-Wing, TIE fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE fighter or X-Wing Alliance.

Oh god yes. A space sim with the detail of DCS (yes i'm a die hard fan and own all the modules) would be killer.


I bet Star Citizen won't even have helmet based targeting systems. IE look at target and lock him for missile launch. This is very real, modern fighters currently use this system like the F/A-18 Hornet and Su-27 Flanker.

that won't happen. the pilot needs full control of the systems for unexpected events.

...in case that there is a pilot.

Now seriously, most of the clicking comes because the systems have individual controls and are not linked together; it would be theoretically possible to have a big "start" function and still keep the clicking as a backup.

Standard operation does not necessarily need to share the same interface as emergency operation.

Sounds daft to have a spaceship that you can just push the start button and off you go! It makes more sense that when you get on your ship, the ship's computer (or AI) to begin start up procedures, have it running through diagnostics while the reactor and whatnot are coming online before you can launch. If it is a war vessel you are flying, there would be a constant combat readiness that would allow you to skip certain steps.

I completely understand that there are people out there don't want that DCS A-10 experience in Star Citizen. But to have something as simplistic as "press the big green start button" is just as immersion breaking for me as having a door that never opened is for you.

So you are at odds about EVE immersion, don't you?

Well, that wholly depends on what you define as immersion in EVE. Because unlike you, I don't feel like a terrible human being like you did after killing those miners (lol!) after I kill someone and unlike you, I don't care about avatar based stuff.

You're at odds with reading comprehension too...

Modern fighters are inherently unstable. Instability leads to maneuverability. Without computer assistance, controlled level flight would be difficult and inefficient. The pilot basically tells the computer where to maneuver the aircraft and computer moves the control surfaces to the needed positions and compensates for any instabilities. Although this is for atmospheric flight and aerodynamics only, not spaceflight .

Spaceflight is whole different animal. At the very least, if there is true newtonian physics, a "kill rotation" button will be needed. Rotation can get out of hand quickly if you're not careful.

INPO I believe that he is trying too hard. That he is trying to be better than EVE from what I have read SS is extremely complicated and will not get very far. EVE is a balance between heavy physics and simplicity. EVE is a simulator SS is a RL shoved into a computer and called a game. I will never leave EVE.
