I dont get why we need to download the -entire- game again whenever theres an update. Like isnt the majority of the games file size contained in models and textures?

status on reliant?

[QUOTE=archival;49864315]I dont get why we need to download the -entire- game again whenever theres an update. Like isnt the majority of the games file size contained in models and textures?[/QUOTE] Well, they have several game archives. And you only download the ones that have been updated. If all of them have been updated, you download all the archives. From scratch. It sucks, but it's how they've got it designed for now. They need to get on a delta patching system ASAP.

Also how long has that mods folder with the music been there, I didnt see that last time I checked

[QUOTE=archival;49864350]Also how long has that mods folder with the music been there, I didnt see that last time I checked[/QUOTE] Minimum 15 months, likely whenever the Stellarsonic Jukebox was added as subscriber flair, since that's where you drop your own files to have the jukebox play your own music in your local hangar. The jukebox is currently disabled, since in 2.0 PTU activating <Use> on the jukebox would not turn it on but would instead Force-pull it towards you with crazy red-light-green-light physics. Comm-Link Ketchup, starting with an extra-late AtV after almost everything that could go wrong with the render/upload did.

I finally caved in and looked at Derek Smart's Twitter account.... Judging by the amount of time he spends trying to show people how bad SC is, he must think Chris Roberts is threatening humanity and Derek Smart is the only person who can save our civilization. Gotta say, I feel sorry for the man... He's hurting himself every day by focusing so much of his energy on negativity. I mean, how sad is it when the greater part of your existence is centered around hating someone else for doing something that doesn't even have to concern you at all?

Thats got to be the sexiest non hud hud ive ever seen, like the elite one was fucking great but damn son

Ahahah. There's even a comms segment of the Reliant's UI. "I'll rek u m8"

I haven't watched AtV or RtV yet but I'm probably gonna do that tonight, will amend this post with my AtV notes. Scroll back for 'em later.

someone simplified the current ship progress from RTV [quote]Endeavor - Down the line ☹ Javelin - Being worked on now Hull Series - Down the line, Hull A will be first Reclaimer - No update Herald - Xi'An Scout team working on it now Reliant - [B]Being Hangarfied[/B] Bengal - Being worked on now Small Mining Ship - Concepts being worked on Dragonfly - Going to concept artist, Snub [B]with the (unpromised) possibility of quantum travel[/B] Polaris - Going to concept artist Prowler - "blocked" currently (Tevarin race needs to be worked on first) Caterpillar - Interior Whitebox(?), Floor plan being worked on. Dimensions have altered. Still a large ship. Buccaneeer - Not releasing new information, intentially vague. They have a plan in mind for the design. Ship Commercials - Team is working on Squadron 42. After S42 is finished, they will continue creating new commercials. Sabre - Will be rentable, was planned for today[/quote] also goddamn [t]https://i.imgur.com/Ab8hvF5.jpg[/t]

starfarer????????????????????????????????????? ???????????? ????? [editline]4th March 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=F42]The Ship Team has been in the process of planning their angle of attack for the rest of the year, laying foundations down to hopefully make the rest of the year’s production run smoothly to push towards fully content complete of the SQ42 within the next few months ( content complete meaning all assets are in-game, playable but requiring polish ). Major highlights of this process have been pulling the RSI Bengal into a metric system that will take full advantage of a modular construction approach, much like we have done on the Idris, meaning we can have twice as much visual awesomeness with less of a knock on to both visual and memory costs in the engine. The Bengal was the first ship to be seen ever for Star Citizen in the original reveal, it’s like the Crown Jewel of SC and will be treated as such! Both the Aegis Idris and Javelin have continued into final production, the Javelin taking full advantage of the Idris’ interior modules, meaning essentially whatever wins we make on the Idris roll over to the Javelin by default, this also has the added benefit that the Javelins interior production will in fact finish not far behind the Idris even though production on the Idris started several months before, we are gaining variation between the two ships with a clever use of material swaps, lighting and atmospherics, the Javelins will have a far more grittier feel to suit its role / characteristic as a ship. [B]On top of the above, production is almost complete on the Starfarer Base variant, she is looking beautiful indeed, but more so in our opinion is the Gemini variant, the Gemini being kitted out by Aegis really brings an interesting dynamic to the ship’s aesthetic.[/B] [/QUOTE] :hypeisreal:

meanwhile on the monthly report [quote] "On the System Design side we’ve been specing out some high priority systems needed for PU. We finished work on the Oxygen, Breathing & Stamina system [B]that will handle the mechanics for how the oxygen travels from the suit’s tank to the suit’s internal capacity, through the lungs and into the blood stream and how the levels of oxygen in the player’s blood affect his actions, and also what happens when he runs out of oxygen.[/B]" [/quote] what the fuck :wow:

If I start hearing about eyelash and body fat metabolism simulations, I'm going to start worrying. Dwarf Squadron pls

As long as I don't have to manage what I eat and what exercise I get. I'm probably going to be sitting on my ass for a lot of the game, either at a bar, at my org's base, or in my Sabre.
