Star Citizen - Chris Roberts, lots of spaceship porn, lots of promises

My Day 2 coverage of the Star Citizen disaster is online. Words fail me. But I did my best.

But your baby lawyers are straight out of 4-year university, not 4+3 like American lawyers, with the additional barriers to entry that the extra time, costs, and testing requirements impose.

Sure. I’m not saying there aren’t reasons for it (though in practice I think most baby lawyers here do a one-year LPC course after their undergrad degree). Just that the pay scales are very different. See also doctors.

I couldn’t believe how bad NHS salary scales were (from top to bottom) compared to those in Ireland. The first 4 bands don’t look like they could ever be a living wage for someone.

I can’t help wondering if Dual Universe won’t be out sooner, and be better than Star Citizen, with less than 5% of CIG’s budget. Time will tell…

I don’t want that crap either. I want Wing Commander, Tie-Fighter, or Freespace. I want a single-player campaign with a story.

Hard to say. I had high hopes for Infinity Battlespace as well.

Then you’re going to have to settle for Star Wars Battlefront II I’m afraid. Them’s the breaks.

You do have some options:

i have evochron *…how come i don’t have starwraith or have not heard of it before?

It’s actually the latest in a nearly twenty-year long line of space sims that began with Star Wraith, then Arvoch, then Evochron, each having multiple entries.

Actually I’m wrong, older than twenty years - http://www.spacecombat.org/

Any good? Not on Steam…

Arvoch isn’t on Steam, no, just the couple most recent Evochron games.

They’re good but not what you’re looking for.

My Day 3 write-up

Ludicrous, they obviously have all those 3.0 things completed, they just turned them off because they would be confusing to new players. They also don’t want people to fly into space because they want to keep people together to interact for the demo. All the glitches are actually fixed but this is an old press demo that they are reusing because they didn’t want to waste developer time on something recent.

I am kidding, this project is a hilarious disaster but that’s what the insane people on reddit are saying. It blows my mind that people are talking about buying more jpegs after seeing this instead of rushing for refunds.

Can you still get a refund? I’m only in it for $40 and don’t really care, but thought the refund ship had sailed a long time ago.

People who follow the guide on the right sidebar seem to all get their refunds in a week or two:

You had me going for a little bit there. Well played!
