That's tiny for a CEO for a large company. Considering he also invested millions of his own money as well. Those douchenozzles can make upwards of 10M.In case some peoples don't like searching, a 2021 report for fiscal year 2020, which for reference, had more funding in a single year than the 2012 + 2013 funding campaign
The "highest paid director" being most likely Chris Roberts
It's fucking nothing for a CEO of such a big company
But that 1000 dollar ship will totally be worth it! It will be their kids retirement plan!
You obviously don't care so why even bother to spend precious time of your day just being a dick and ruining the chance for anyone to actually discuss the topic at hand?
To be more precise on the crash: it became unresponsive and then after 30 secondes it crashed but without going back to the main menu and the chat was still working. People were saying that it should come back in a few minutes but I had to move away. I'm gonna retry right now.
But you're not engaging in the conversation here about whether they have produced any value, you're just name calling and posting a trolly gif in response to anyone who disagrees. I'm curious to hear why you think nothing they have produced has any value. Because it's too buggy? Because it's taken too long? There's plenty of conversation to be had, the floor is yours.
Where to even begin. Community hosts the servers. We're going down the Starsiege Tribes memory lane in terms of networking. Depending on their rigs/banwidth, they'll handle 128 ish players correctly. You can push boundaries to 1000 players but that experience is terrible, and again, it offloads the hard computation on client side like all P2P, they become easily hacked and you have EAC evaders fucking things up. Server crashes and wipes everything. They disables a lot of things on their servers to allow these numbers of peoples, like AI and they wipe the content often. Absolutely nothing in this game is server meshing. It's good old MP servers run on dedicated fan machines or official ones.Even static, nobody did it like Star Citizen is trying to do.
They're dimwits that confuse a cluster of servers as being server meshing. Nothing like what was tested in the PTU nor the intention of CIG.
All those MMOs are cluster shards. 99% of them are defined by a zone / loading / instances that will stop any interaction between servers. Even when a shard for a zone is full, they do create a new shard accordingly but you pop and will only see peoples in that same shard even if you are at the same place, almost all games have a different name of that, WOW is phasing, etc. Those systems using clusters of servers are basically queue'd combat too, no matter how close to action they are, they are queue'd commands.
The other 1% is the only one that did anything remotely impressive for FPS combat with no queues in the old days : Planetside 2 (no 20 years ago).
But again, they cut down heavily into making it work, low tick rates, simplified physics, bubbles around players with no persistence of items. The problem with that game too is that they offloaded the heavy computational requirements on client side which made it very easy to hack/cheat.
Very fucking different than
- EVE online servers are again shards per systems. Like every MMO, if too many peoples are in the same instances for big fights basically slows time down rather than create a new shard, as then they wouldn't be able to have big fights. Massively reduced ticks, to a crawl where that queue system almost becomes a turned based battle. Also something that EVE online doesn't have is game spaces within game spaces within game spaces... You fly a ship, that's your gamespace, you go to a station and you load into another game space for hangar. Star Citizen is a player gamespace in a ship gamespace in a planet gamespace in a hangar gamespace, etc. You can have peoples fighting inside the ship and that ship is fighting another ship, etc. It's a TAD more fucking complex. A lot of instances placed together in real-time.
- Dual Universe was in development since 2011, launched in late 2022 and was already dead 2 months later. Had interesting server technology aims, but again, no real-time physical interactions server to server and it's a point and click queue system like Eve online, not aim and shoot mechanic. DU struggled with heavy desync issues in the likes of tens of km teleporting with a whooping 792 player peak :
- Even nowadays with 50 or so players (well less than that now but at the time of the video), it simply lags so much. For how it looks yea.
- Your client side (again... pushing the load to customers) will push your ship location, if you have a problem, you desync for everyone and literally you will be frozen in time for the others. Like good old days of networking. Clearly has trouble with entity handling.
- So is there truely TENS of thousands of players possiblity for the tech behind if there's 21 players peak a day for the whole game? Let me repeat, the whole purpose of this game is to bring everyone on the SAME server. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Nobody is even there to see the tech work. We don't even know if you can shoot cross servers and damage things on the other server, because there was never a demo for it, nor the number of players ever to have multiple servers in the game.
- Rust - Uses Raknet
- No mans sky - Peer to peer. With servers only for database tracking of what's discovered. Again, brainlet moment to even bring this one
And we're so straying far from "20 years ago" argument that its starting to be very very silly. As silly as those posters in this thread whom have no fucking clue about network engineering. Such as,

Doesn't seem to be free for me - I downloaded the launcher but got this error when I signed in. Maybe because I already tried a free session a few years ago, or is it just a load of free ships to try for people who own a copy?

Who said you have to buy it? A majority of SC patrons just bought the standard $60 package. Why do you keep talking out of your ass? Get lost.
Hey I spent $35 and my friend rn has paid $0
I've got a 3080 Ti and 5900x with 32GB RAM, it's a bit jerky in the opening city level but then very smooth in the flight stuff and on any offworld areas I've managed to visit.
They'll switch to other ship manufacturers throughout the event. I tried the scorpius yesterday as a matter of fact. Fun ship to fly.
It's been fun following summit1g's journey getting to know SC. He started with 3.22 a few weeks ago and is now on 3.23. You can't get a much better endorsement than this legend lovin it. Summit is loosely describing SC as "Sea of Thieves in space" (if you know who this guy is, then you know what that means..).

It's impressive how much Star Citizen fans put into defining the game from nay-sayers. Bro, the haters have already made up thier minds and your endless desperate attempts to defend this game won't change that. Just relax and enjoy the game you want to play.And UK law is very clear, and its all available, to provide the annual financial reports and accounts.

He pays himself between 200k to 600k depending on the year.
But
"He's pocketing it!"
Oh yeah, they avoid the law of multiple countries for 11 or so years. /sureJan
The biggest internet Sherlock Holmes in history are on the case
Really? Twice the same stupid reply?
Low effort thread derailing.
Just saying bro, it's not worth your energy and time.

, holy shit at 11:34 the drake HUD revamp! Never saw that before.
Yup, I did a double take myself when I noticed the HUD. Getting SQ42 devs back to SC development is obviously working well at the moment.
Engineering and the fire hazards and component repairs will change so many things but realistically for the better. You'll really have to think about single seater ships if you're alone. Peoples solo'ing in an Hammerhead won't stand a chance. Probably a lot of peoples will be pissed but that's how it is, these ships were clear on multicrew since the beginning.
Even I fear how I'll manage flying around in a Corsair. I'll probably fly with friends and use my solo starter ship more often otherwise.
Edit
If HUD enhancement brings that kind of distinct style between each manufacturers, then it's more than welcome
3.23 is a disaster in that perspective. Game never received so many gameplay mechanics and improvements which are simply broken or unbalanced. Won't expect for better until 4.1 or so.
