Star Citizen - The E.L.E.

[Motto]

So, A question about 3.0 got this answer:

The primary thing it will add is the ability to land on planets. Of course, in 3.0, this really means "moons." The four moons, which you can fly around now in the 'Verse, will no longer have a "deathsphere" around them and will be fleshed out. You'll be able to land on them, drive around in ground vehicles, visit habs and wrecks dotting the moon, and so on.

The mission system, which right now is a railroad, will become more dynamic and at least two "mission givers" are being added (Miles Eckhart being the most visible in demos so far). Missions should be a little more branching now and, in theory, a little less predictable (although this is still real early days).

There will be a few new ships added to the "flyable" group (Aquila, Nox, Dragonfly, updated Cutlass Black, updated Aurora, Prospector ...a few others that are slipping my mind, I think). Along with them is Item 2.0, which will be the component system that's the foundation for Star Citizen. This will control sensors, engines, coolers, etc, etc. Should also take care of the whole "spinning 'Lancer" bug.

Finally, I think rudimentary trade mechanics are making their way in with this patch, and should finally be able to fill up your hold with cargo.

I think that's about it.

Now, how exactly far from the truth will that prediction be  :D

Yeah, same old theory crafting. It's amazing that even with the schedule, nobody quite has ANY of these answers. Most open development ever.  :allears:

I actually googled this 5 times already, but I never get straight answers. Are more solar systems included, planetary combat? I haven't backed, but I may.

I find it cute that he actually thought the game was far along enough to include "more solar systems".

I wish they just release that 3.0 already. I need the fun this weekend.

Well, we get to troll the Avocado elite first  :lol:

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that CIG will make it until this weekend – again.

I hope this quote from a cherished forum user long gone will provide some comfort instead  :supaburn:

"Nobody needs a game. Waiting for something special is OK for me. Lots of other games to play. I'm in no rush."

BREAKING!! Well, don't bother waiting for 3.0 aka "Baby Jesus Patch" being released to Evocati next week. We're now 2 weeks out. Oh well.

[dsmart]

LOL!! Star Citizen's next hardware tie-in has leaked. This time it's Intel's Optane SSD. Nope, not a joke, and not a meme. I don't even...



But don't worry though, no way CIG needs the pennies from such branding deals. Like at all. Nope.

[Motto]

No  :wtf: Intel can't be THAT stupid 

[dsmart]

No  :wtf: Intel can't be THAT stupid 

Well, these endorsement deals are like pennies on the Dollar; and only paid based on sales in a quarter. So just like those past graphics card tie-ins, this is just another one.

[Motto]

It's not about the money, but one would expect a Big Name to do some research first and based on that stay the fuck away from controversy. As CIG by now is.

But those guys will have a field day I guess. Wow, if Intel is backing this, it must be good. Idiot thinking like that  :doh:

Yup. Except that Intel isn't backing anything. They're selling a hardware product to gullible ass-clowns.

Looks like these AMD GPUs which were "optimized for Star Citizen" and are now too outdated to even run Pre-Alpha 2.6.3.

[Motto]

Yeah, but that's because they know nothing about game development at AMD.

Edited ....

An SSD optimized for an unreleased game lol
