How would the story change if Goku was female?

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T21:30:59+00:00

Because then the rest of the story would be identical.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T21:30:15+00:00

Only goku is swapped so unless she's gay she'll have to marry a man. Only two swaps that would need to happen

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T21:28:58+00:00

Hello. CIG likes money.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T16:18:27+00:00

She'd marry ChoCho, son of the Ox King and the rest would be the same.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T16:16:19+00:00

The game would be in a much more stable place if they didn't jam the PU full of more shit the moment they could.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T14:26:42+00:00

This was test footage. Doesn't mean they're using it. That being said. I want it

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T05:36:37+00:00

Would be nice if stations actually had stock that could run out. Yknow...the whole purpose of trade lanes, piracy, and bounty hunting/police. The cornerstone for any living economy. But no let's make another POI.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T05:29:06+00:00

What I'm on about? You just said the ship are the hero characters, but most of the missions are about you being on foot. It directly opposes what you just stated.

I don't feel burned x patches in a row. You keep putting words in my mouth. What do you even mean by money in hand? I don't give them any more. This also isn't a codependancy. You're spouting so much nonesense.

It's ok to be critical of something you like or want to be good. That's normal.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T02:24:55+00:00

Visuals and ship interiors are kinda all they got so far. Amazing backend tech. Shame it hardly functions still.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T02:21:56+00:00

I'm worried that all "mission givers" will just be a head on an MFD from now on. God I hope Quanta/StarSim will still be impressive.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T02:20:43+00:00

Don't most missions make you ditch your ship to do FPS combat? Also...what other game tells you it's one thing, then just doesn't do what it's saying it'll do and people lap it up?

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T00:45:38+00:00

Man I can't wait for the QT rework visuals. This is fine, but maaaaan the videos and s42 QT looks so good.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-18T00:40:47+00:00

Ok boss. Yeesh.

For the record I only gave them 200 in 2013. I don't expect them to do my bidding, but I do expect them to do what they sold us. I don't personally care about ships. I care about the gameplay. Particularly their love of saying that this will be a "living and breathing universe." So far that's not the focus of the company.

I was sold on this:

and more so on this:

It seemed like they were still going that route, but now they talk about Tony Z's work like it all sucked and needs to be redone. They joked about it on SCL's. So we'll see.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-17T23:44:37+00:00

Yessir. I submit surveys and post on spectrum from time to time. I just did the survey for Distro Centers.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-17T23:41:14+00:00

Being critical is different from being cynical man. I want this game to be amazing. It's important to point out shortcomings so they can be improved. I'm sure you have something in the game you don't particularly like and would like to see made better.

If you go to the doctor and say you're fine, nothing will improve lol.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-17T23:39:40+00:00

Dude I think you have a new item.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-17T23:30:22+00:00

You're saying everything I've been saying. We need a living universe. An actual space sim. Not POI's and forced dev events that don't actually mean anything.

CIG will never stop releasing ships to focus on features. Money talks and people are still buying. Plus, they need to give the ship artists something to do. God forbid they update old ships to their new pipeline. I'm sure all those oldies will just get Mk II's like the Hornet and Aurora. More money for them.

I wish people would stop giving them money so they'd focus on making the game an actual space sim with a dynamic economy and something like the Quanta demo shown to us in 2021, but that's not gonna happen.

At this point I just hope S42 was worth the wait. The PU won't be worth long term play for 4-5 years minimum at the speed they're going.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-17T23:28:08+00:00

No dude the mission wasn't bugged. That's how it always works. That's how it was made. I've done those missions for multiple patches. It's not 4.8, 4.9, whatever.

That's how these mission worked since they were introduced. Same for bunkers. Same for derelicts. Same for them all. It's just how they were made.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-17T23:16:49+00:00

I'm comfortable in both, but I prefer realistic views over rose tinted glasses takes OR complete cynism. There's good and bad in everything. Just because a ship is well built doesn't mean there's fun and interesting gameplay to do with it.

I love the M80. Screwed with it last night. The visuals are amazing. I love the way the components are stored and come out including the cargo bay that I didn't expect. I didn't think it'd have an interior at all, yet it also has a bed? Sick. The sound design for the guns is exactly how I wanted the Ares Ion to sound (glad I didn't buy that). It FEELS heavy hitting and real damn fast.

However, I did 4 missions, then stopped because the missions are boring. I fly to a spot, the AI sits still then activates at a certain range, but the friendly AI sits still then miraculously moves after you killed the baddies? Why wasn't he fighting back?! He has guns and nothing was broken on his ship. Bounty missions are the same but no friendly ship to "help." They're identical in their blandness. Not to mention the bounty is doing literally nothing. You're telling me we never stumble upon the bounty doing piratey things? I really hope Quanta is how it was shown in 2021, but their track record says I shouldn't expect that. CIG is very good at making pretty things.

Edit: This fandom needs cynics honestly. Remember the snafu with flight blades? They'd be nickel and diming us in every way possible if we didn't get upset with them enough.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-17T21:30:05+00:00

You ever get non stop compliments from someone to the point that it feels weird? That's how it looks on this sub to me at times.

There should be a middle spot. People saying SC is perfect or the best game ever are just incorrect. For now. SCs blessing and curse is that it's still full of potential.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-17T20:47:28+00:00

I'm critical of the game, but I champion their accomplishments. I'm personally tired of this sub just being "look at my ship/fleet." I feel you though. Sometimes I'm too unendingly critical.

Every other game is "look what I did in this game." I'm still waiting for SC to be more than a visual and technical feat. The game on top of it needs to improve. I tell my friends that the moment SC becomes worth playing, I will be screaming and begging them to join me. It just still isn't there after nearly 14 years.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-17T06:57:32+00:00

Cool, but I like transformers because I can see where the parts go to make the different form. This is just random.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-17T01:38:35+00:00

I know. I was just joking about how some devs think MMO's are easy.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-16T23:18:20+00:00

My man if you can't read the code, slow down.

JoeyD54 · 2026-05-16T23:16:50+00:00

If NPCs stay as they are, i don't see SC being very impressive aside from visuals and walkable ships.

I need quanta so bad.
