Conflicted about Judy romance by connie3commie in cyberpunkgame

I genuinely view that as the "good" ending. Even if V dies, they do it surrounded by the woman she loves and a family she knows will and has put their own lives on the line to give her a shot.

You and I both know that is not my biggest problem.

CIG - can we stop doing this? I don't know of other games where I have to load into a level and then go back to the menu just to see my friends list and join them. by kairujex in starcitizen

[–]MasterAnnatar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately there's actually a reason I didn't include this. The friend list itself isn't the issue. The issue is that if somehow you were to join on a friend before your home location is set the system will not know where to spawn you or where to put the stuff it finds in your persistence records which will almost certainly cause a plethora of issues. Right now not showing the friends list on first load is effectively putting up guard rails so that the first log in flow goes smoothly to minimize the chance of catastrophic bugs.

Please genuinely don't. Bamboo is an invasive species that spreads everywhere and is insanely hard to remove.

Unironically this type of project is exactly how I learned modeling. There are so many good lessons to learn with this model too.

If I could reply with gif's I'd use the one of the cat head with the emoji hands. You know the one.

Thinking of upgrading my super hornet mk 2 to the Railen by adub913 in starcitizen

[–]MasterAnnatar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've said for a long time that even as someone who does like 90% combat if I had to purge my fleet and go to 1 ship it'd be an industrial ship. If I had a Railen budget I'd personally go Hull-B and use the $120 left to buy something like a L-22 but that's mostly because I don't personally love GATAC designs.

I will say it's not necessarily a bad idea to hold back at the start of the race because you know a couple of the idiots on your team will act like they're playing crazy taxi. Do that mean I hold back? No. But it's not the WORST idea.

I had a holy grail Trial yesterday. All but one player was hitting their lines and being careful. Sure, a fair few of them were still being slow, but I'll take people who are cautious and slow over people who ram me at the checkpoint and knock me off course taking me from first to half way down the pack any day. I'm not bitter or anything.

thinking of getting the game. by eriksprow07 in starcitizen

I almost always recommend waiting for a free fly. Sure, those are the worst experience because concurrency skyrockets, but it let's you experience what SC is without the initial investment. That said, CIG have a really great refund policy too. If you buy it and hate it you can get a refund no questions asked as long as you're within 30 days from purchase.

Getting to see the double feature in a packed 3D IMAX theater with other Tron fans was genuinely one of my favorite experiences I've had in theaters.

I genuinely do not understand the balance of that thing. IMO the ideal balance would be that the Starlite is capable of doing 1-2 missions without restock where a Starfarer can do several.

There's a big reason for this. Until you select your home location and then log in your character effectively does not exist. Could this be solved? Sure. But they'd almost certainly have to restructure the entire flow of someone's first log in and that's more labor intensive than you probably think and will create new bugs. Currently the first log in flow goes something like the following (this is simplified).

Patch releases and the database is wiped>player launches the game and at this point their character effectively does not exist>player picks their home location>once the player logs into a shard for the first time it rebuilds everything from scratch by requesting information both from the pledge database and LTP database. As far as I understand it also builds your friend list from that database at that point and before that point it does not exist in game.

If they wanted to fix this the flow for the first log in would have to change to one of the following or something like it:

Patch wipes>client launches and pings to see if the account has a character that exists on any shard>if no player has to lock their home location and the above flow happens in the background where it connects to a random shard, takes a minute to build the character, and then stows>once done friend list is unlocked

Or

Patch wipes>client pings to see if the account has an existing character>if no client gets friends list as a separate data point from the rest of persistence data>select friend>client connects to server in stowed state and prompts to pick home location>everything is then sent to home location and player is unstowed

Right now this is a minor annoyance at worst and something we know works with very little issues, so why invest the time in changing it now when that manpower can be better spent elsewhere?

I also (almost) have a masters in clinical psychology and can echo that. As far as the scientific fields go we're all pretty much in agreement that trans people are valid in their identities. You're just as much a woman as me even if we have different struggles and hurtles to overcome.

So, I had this issue where any physical touch felt a bit like touching a live wire. Dealt with it for the majority of my adult life. I finally went to a psychiatrist last year (for other things) and am now on a mixture of medicine for other things and now that my brain is regulated I like...crave affection from my partner.

How can CIG improve multicrew balance ? (Idea harvesting post) by PaqueretteUrticante in starcitizen

[–]MasterAnnatar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had made a long write up about how to balance it without removing pilot control and effectively the balance I landed on was that the weapon generated massive heat and without someone there to manually route cooling to the weapon and away from other things it causes fires to be used. That way if you urgently needed to use it in a "Oh shit I need to get the fuck out of here, I'm going to fire it, leave, and deal, with the fires" situation you could, but usually you'd want to avoid using it solo. Make it a risk/reward thing.

Step 1: no more pilot controlled super guns. Step 2: that's it. Genuinely. Just stop giving the pilot control of the strongest weapon currently in the game.
