"All encompassing" games are really f**king hard.
And yes this is also about Star Citizen.

So far Kerbal Space Program has been the only game to successfully have flying in space, planetary landings and walking about with your pilot. And if you like combat there are mods for that too. Oh and not to mention a pretty realistic newtonian physics flight model which other space games say they have but really don't.
Have the devs of KSP finally made the impossible possible where others have failed? Lunar Lander by Atari in 1979 had newtonian physics.
There was one "official" Lunar Lander game, but it had been around before that. I remember seeing something like it before 1979 under different names, if it even had one. Lunar Lander was like the "hello world" of game programs.
I had a friend get killed playing Lunar Lander. He was so engrossed in it he didn't see the T-rex in time.

"Before publisher Take-Two Interactive released Battlecruiser 3000AD in September 1996, it had generated one of the longest and largest flame wars in the history of Usenet.[16] This flamewar lasted for several years, garnered over 70,000 posts, and yielded a series of sites that documented and parodied its history." edit2: "Usenet" is what we had before the World Wide Web (e.g. graphical browsers.) Reddit is probably the closest thing to Usenet, but Reddit lacks the content and strength of character provided by usenet posters.
Oh damn. The memories.
In order to use Usenet you were required to have a Linux Beard. The women too, but there weren't any.

CR is not a god, and is not perfect, he had two large failures and 2 successes. If he can;t keep a handle on his time table and features, SC will go down in flames.
Yeah feature creep is a sure path to failure. I have a software project on hand that I completed a year ago, way over expected time because of feature creep, and now a year later new stuff has come along and even yesterday I was reviewing it for changes and lo and behold, the features that caused some big delays were not even necessary and only made the program run slower and with less accurate results. Even worse, because of being blinded by the "everything looks like a nail" syndrome, there were things that should not have been done by the computer but by someone getting persistent data by other means and then creating a data set instead of trying to process math heavy solutions in real time (basically it's like putting a huge pair of boots in a washing machine).
SC might become another example of what is best known as "delusion of grandeur". They probably could have started "space first" but then I have only scant experience with game systems (from back when we were reading DXF files in C++ and wrapping panels with bitmaps ourselves - good times in 3' of snow)

If CCP has anything beyond that door they should just implement it and do it while drunk. I don't care if we go falling through the floor into space and end up floating around the station with everybody pointing and laughing.
