Oooohhh boy, thats not a popular opinion in SC threads/forums
Personally, i think the funding / goals should have stopped a long time ago.
As long as people keep giving them money they will not stop.

Y'know, speaking of which, what was the point of buying a big mocap setup in Austin if they're mocapping in England?
Probably during the livestream on Dec. 19. "Sorry, guys, it looks like we won't get out 1.0 quite when we wanted to. It should only take another month or two [snicker]. But here's footage of us having a ton of fun flying our Avengers and Cutlasses against each other!"
That's a good question. Is it the same equipment at least?

I get the feeling the English place also has the facial capture stuff, while the Austin one is probably just fullbody capture.
Probably not. I can't see them flying all that equipment overseas.
Why can't they use the stuff they dropped $1 million on to do that, though?
Kinda makes me wonder if that money was wasted on tech that isn't good enough now, so they still have to pay top dollar to rent a mocap facility while the equipment they own collects dust in a warehouse somewhere in Austin.
Having an in-house mocap studio to do the innumerable amount of small or one-off animations for the PU at any time they need them would be a pretty useful tool in addition to a more robust system for SQ42 cinematics, located right next to the guys making SQ42.
I care so very little about the FPS module, just wanna fly in emptiness and nearly get myself killed.
You'll care when I board and steal your ship.
If they really don't need that equipment anymore, they would probably have sold it off already, they have enough contacts in the industry. I doubt that they don't use it though.

They definitely use it, not sure for how and what though. For example, all that stuff where sandy walked around in mocap stuff was in Austin.

This. When it comes to mocap it is about scale and usage.

Good luck boarding a 300i. 1 person has a hard enough time walking around that thing.
I can't download the game without my internet connection cutting out after a slow crawl to completion. But for some reason, it's linked to the launcher, and only cuts out when I am using the launcher to download the game. And when I'm downloading, I am moving at painfully slow speeds. Anyone know why the game launcher does this? (If more clarification is needed, just ask)
It uses bittorrent which can wreck slower connections.
That's the thing. My internet connection is running fine @50 Mbps, but Star Citizen is the only game (launcher, I guess) that runs poorly. Plus, it somehow tampers with my wifi access in the process.
Are there official torrent links for the game files?

Try disabling P2P connections in the launcher settings and only allow HTTP.
I've long suspected people have no fucking idea how game development works and how long it takes to get things going. Since I started following Star Citizen's development, I know.
Why can't you accept the fact that CIG have no clue as to what they are doing and that all other studios know their shit?

This has to be trolling, otherwise it's just pure stupidity.
Absolutely, I love that people have gotten so used to franchise games and their two year release cycle that they think that's the norm and worse sustainable. We're already seeing the results of that with all the incomplete games being released by AAA companies, and that's even with the massive amount of reusable assets they have. Two years is nothing.

I have a UEE Avatar and am the #2 poster in this thread. Decide for yourself.
Ok then I have to ask you, have you bothered to watch any of the Dev update videos? How much do you know about game development? I feel like you are comparing AAA studios developing games that have a relatively small scope to a game with many facets.

No, I know. I am not saying the same thing as Sinatar. I understand where they are at and why. I am just mouthing off like an impatient child. I do know a few people in the industry and understand how things work, but to be perfectly honest I have not followed every aspect of SC and that is because they have done an amazing job of informing people and there is far to much information for me to go through.
Honestly though, have you seen me say anything negative about this title in this or any other thread?
Damn, I thought I made clear that I was being sarcastic, you just concluded the complete opposite, lol.
Unless this is sarcasm, too.

It's good to know I will be able to pilot my constellation solo if I can't convince my friends to join in.
This part stood out to me:

Showed a friend Constellation commercial and asked him what he thought about graphics.
He said, he saw better and showed me Elder Scrolls Online CGI trailer, then i said commercial was real-time, his reaction was priceless

Does Rorschach normally put smiley faces in his journal entries?
I imagine this would be a smiley face for him.......
or an image of two rhinoceros beetles fighting over a snickers bar.

Nice to see some vintage Mass Effect shots, but I have to say, UE3 is really beginning to show its age.
