Thanks, it was only for that weekend, and a portion of the sales went to charity. (which is why i got it)

No, I had no idea the game was still in development. I've dropped over $4k on the game, spent dozens of hours on organization related stuff, and posted hundreds of times on this thread all under the assumption that it was finished! /s
If you've been following the thread at all, you'd realize the comments were between two backers who are looking forward to the game. Making comparisons between two elements of the same game, and offering critique does not imply lack of knowledge on the state of the game. We discuss things with the understanding that the game is under development and will improve. If we couldn't talk about that sort of stuff then it would be quite boring in here.
Ignore him, that dude jumps before he looks. I do believe he once got banned for this kind of nonsense.
Anyway I found this screenshot. It looks real nice:

Meh, I was torn between laughing at the concept of being treated as some uninformed SC detractor and setting the record straight. I figured at least one attempt at rational discourse was warranted, albeit not without a healthy dose of sarcasm to drive the ridiculousness of the (implied) accusation home.
Also I'm not sure what bothers me more, the flipped "Constellation" text in that image, or the flipped "RSI" in this mirrored image. OCD either way. -_-

It has probably been asked before, but why do you always capitalize the 'y' in 'you'?

I imagine it is a small way of showing respect in writing. Same thing happens in German with the personal "you" (du becomes Du) in the written form. Some people still do that (I do in my e-mails´correspondence for example).

Yeah, I had a feeling that outside of some personal quirk, it would have something to do with having English as a second language. It's not exactly something you see used in English after all, and can't be explained away as laziness (takes more effort) or a typo (too consistent). At the same time I wasn't sure if he was aware it was unusual.
Yeah, I noticed that in their demo 2.0 footage from way back. Super advanced space ships without the concept of a key or passcode to use them. I'm sure it'll be implemented, but it's pretty funny right now.

I imagine it will be done through the mobi glass interface, you type in a key or something at some point... and criminals will have to hack it!
I hope so. I've got this on absolute minimum (even disabled all the effects, anti aliasing, etc) and it still runs bad on my 3570k and 970. (I think half of the poor performance is due to my CPU thermally throttling, as the heatsink needs replacing.)
It's still really bloody fun though.

I doubt we'll even have to make a code. The ships will probably grant access to given mobiglass users that are set up in their permission list. I doubt they're going to have a "steal a player's mobiglass" gameplay element, so that would allow the same thing with less hassle. Still can retain the hacking element, though it wont give a code or anything. It'll just bypass the security/spoof it.

I haven't played the PTU in a couple days but I've heard others saying FPS performance has improved quite a bit today. Hopefully the fixes are just server side and doesn't mean a downgrade in graphic fidelity in game
Dictator93

That won't happen, no worries. 100% a server side problem given how people get great performance in private games then on official servers. You can also visually see the problem in game when you join a fresh server. GPU usage slowly goes down till it is about at 20% after the server is alive for longer!
Here is another for the archives. Rifle vs Hornet:

Err, that's a 300i, not a Hornet. ;P Also, that was with shields down. Hopefully human weapons have no chance against a shielded ship. At least not without being dedicated to anti-air.
It is a pretty poor webm. I'm sure there will be weapons capable of doing damage to ships eventually.

Finally got my new graphics card. Now I need 2.0 to go public to make it cry.

I'm sure there will be weapons, but they better be the equivalent to a MANPAD. Something like a rifle shouldn't be capable of inflicting damage. It's a pea shooter compared to the guns on ships. The impact of one ship round should be more damaging than an entire clip from a hand held rifle.
Congrats and LOL.

Wow watching this Squad gameplay is amazing. This is going to be the game of the decade, easily.

The guy giving orders was pretty cringy, but awesome video regardless.
Just need one of the classics, a guided missile launcher.
Yeah, but chasing down a target over multiple jumps got me really excited. I never really quite thought what type of gameplay we'd end up seeing in this game. (I haven't backed so I haven't gotten to play any of the released components)

I sort of did that today. I was pulled out of a quantum jump due to the proximity of some seriously random NPC pirate in a cutlass blocking the straight line path. This was on a straight line course btw on a common quantumn line. So I start dueling with the cutlass as suddenly... due to the fact that this is a common quantumn line... a constellation jumps in and is also stopped. I then change targets and start shooting at the passing by constellation for fun and he in time activates his cruise speed and starts darting away as I pelter him with shots. He then gets about 10KM away and jumps. I follow him through the quantum jump but then subsequently crash and die while going cruise speed into a space station.
This game... has no equal regarding this kinda stuff. It is nuts.
LOL. it's so true.
What's the origin of the GAF slogan? Halo 3 trailer? or is it just something that's always been around?

By the chat channel do you mean on the RSI website under the GAF org? Planning to watch the vga's so may jump on there too.

Any indication on when the Star Citizen branded HOTAS sticks will be out for purchase? Or I guess it's just showing them off and that's it?

No, it's a twitch group chat set up for the usual SC livestreams. Since this will be live on twitch as well, there's no reason not to use it.
No hard information.

Should I be horribly irresponsible and stay up just to chat with you guys on the twitch stream even though it is completely unreasonable for European time zones?
Probably.
Probably.
Yes, i'm doing it, (and i live in the UK) so should you too.
Search your heart, Dictator93. Search your heart.
I am, so you should as well. CET forevah.
