I thought it would be next year but I'm fine with a 2020 projection for Squadron 42. It's not as if they have remained silent, shown nothing and nobody has been playing the Alpha. They have been steadily progressing with the game and we can see it / when we play after each update. I quit buying ships after the initial launch of the KS. I don't see the point of buying a colossus like the Idris Frigate or the Krakan. It's not going to be of use to me as a solo player but those ships will definitely be of use for a guild of which I'm part of. The scale of those ships is mind boggling.

Looks pretty sweet.
Here's the trick, if you check on the game here now and then and see the improvements, it's fine. If you're at the edge of your seat waiting for it... yeah better don't do that. I think progress is being made, but at its on pace. Ultimately who the heck knows when it's going to released, for now at least it's still relevant.

I had tried out Alpha 3.5 in the PTU. Arkcorp looks absolutely terrific (and runs fairly smoothly as far as framerates are concerned). So good job on this. I didn't really keep at it for long though. The PTU was tough because with every new version you'd be back at Port Olisar and it takes about 15 minutes or so in quantum travel to go to another planet. Without persistence, that's a lot of waiting around. One more thing about 3.5 though, the new character editor is fantastic IMO. It's a bit of a different approach from what we know from Bethesda or BW. In this one, you don't morph a face directly, instead, you take up to three faces from a pool of templates and then set percentages of their impact on the final face you want. So you can have, say, 30% of face 1, 50% of face 2 and 20% of face 3. This way, you generate an individual face morph but it prevents you from creating something absurd. You can also take it into advanced mode and morph individual components of the face with different percentages, so you can say that you want the eyes to be more of face 1 but the jawline to me more of face 2, etc. This is also a great system, given that in the future, they want to implement character death in such a way that if you character finally does die (which will not happen quickly but can happen), you will play with a new character, who is a decedent of the dead one and inherits all their stuff (so you keep your things). So this system, which makes it easy to "inherit" features from your "parent" character fits perfectly, it's like you take phenotype characteristics of your genetic ancestor. Really cool stuff.

I've said it in the past, the future of "huge world games" is procedural generation, no amount of people would ever be enough to create huge worlds, ultimately it will come down to the computer to do it for you. People only have a negative image of it because it hasn't been done properly in the past. I'm really eager to see what SC can achieve in this regard, could finally change people's mind. Create a lot of rule sets, do it at various levels (sections, blocks, individual buildings, scenery, etc) overlapping together, and you can end up with a game that quite literally takes place on a galaxy with multiple planets with at least visual stuff in there instead of empty barren worlds all done using procedural generation.
SC already as it is, is a great tech demonstrator, they've developed tools and tech never before seen in the industry, whether people like it or not. If it shapes up to be an actual finished game at some point it's yet to be seen, but I think the "ride" alone of the dev cycle they're having is quite interesting to observe.

Performing some necromancy this morning because I saw a video
This game keeps flitting on and off my radar every few months, I don’t want to wade into its perpetual early release state but I’ve often thought I’d like to play the Squadron 42 campaign if and when it finally gets a release.
Anyone else have thoughts like this about Star Citizen?

Anyone else have thoughts like this about Star Citizen? I'm a day one backer (before the Kickstater) and I'm not really paying attention to the development anymore. Just waiting for them to release it and checking on it once in a while to see where it is at.

Still watching Inside Star Citizen on Thursdays and am still amazed at some of the cool stuff they are building.
But I haven't been in the game for over a year now. It's just not worth it at this point. The parts are great but they are just not coming together.

Anyone else have thoughts like this about Star Citizen? I don't think you are lone. I keep getting slightly interested and then I see the state of the game and how long its been in development and then I am glad I am not waiting for the product. I might buy it after it eventually releases, but I don't follow it that closely anymore either.

I too find my interest flare up once in a while, but I'm no longer really in the loop despite being a long time supporter. It's not that I don't care anymore, I just do enough software testing during my regular work time and just can't be arsed to be Evocati tester in my few free hours on top of that.
But whenever I am disappointed in Star Citizen not being finished yet I remind myself that it started development about the same time as Anthem and only with a handful of people as opposed to a full team, and that puts things into perspective again.

I tried to check out 3.14 and the new gas giant tech but my game consistently crashed right after login, so now I am waiting for the next version. Citizencon is in about a week though. I'm curious what they'll show.

I'm curious what they'll show. A ship sale? Rumour has it that Roberts was promoted away and Turbulent pickes up the reins. To what end - hard to say, but it'd be rather driven by private investor interest. In any case I would expect delivery to increase somewhat.

In any case I would expect delivery to increase somewhat. How? CIG is part-owner of Turbulent, not the other way around. They have zero reasons to give the reins to Turbulent.

They took private equity from the Calders. Private equity agreements might include clauses about control of the company among other nifty stuff. Since they failed to deliver their promised games over a couple of possibly defined milestones the Calders might have gained enough control to decide such things. All speculation - but possible.

I doubt Roberts was stupid enough to lose majority control over his own company in that equity deal. And even if the Calders had that power, they won't shift control to Turbulent, they are going to promote someone at CIG or bring in their own guy. And when an equity firms does that, what follow is massive firing so the revenues look good. Except CIG doesn't really have revenues so....

It doesn't work like free backer money. There is usually a contract and in that contract are clauses that determine what happens when certain things (milestones) dont happen. You may find that stupid but tbh - it'd be way more stupid to give away cash and then lose any control what is done with it. And you can of course take or leave it - it is an agreement after all, but that's how it's usually done.

There is no equity contracts that will say " I will invest 10% of your company worth and in four years I'm taking over if you didn't meet these release milestones". That's not how it works. Equity don't give a shit about release milestones or what CIG is actually doing. The only thing equity cares about is the value of their shares (that's the way they invested into the company). Equity invest via share-buying. They take part of the company ownership in exchange for their money. The contracts is all about those shares, amount, when they can sell them and to whom and future share-buying (usually at a predefined price). The only time an equity firm have the power to make decision at the CA level is when they own the majority of the company (and that usually only happens when there is more than one equity firms involved and they band together against the owner(s)). The Calders invested 46m (10%) into a company evaluated at ~$490m in 2018 (it's apparently worth over a billion now, but I haven't found a confirmation of that) and another ~$17m in 2020 at a discount price negotiated in their 2018 contract (probably the same as the 2018 share actually). Press release stipulate that Chris Roberts is maintaining full controls at every levels after the 2020 deal. He's not getting kicked out any time soon.

The guy looking for cash (equity) would agree to sell or transfer more of his stock when conditions arent met. Control doesnt simply change but you dont alway need majority to exert control.

Their share values basically doubled in 3-4 years, the are very happy investors (and you rarely see that much value increase in the public equity domain). They couldn't care less that the customers aren't getting their products, they are getting their money.

It was a simplified explanation. The guy looking for cash (equity) would agree to sell or transfer more of his stock when conditions arent met. Control doesnt simply change but you dont alway need majority to exert control. Conditions not being meet is always about return on their investment. Their share values basically doubled in 3-4 years, the are very happy investors (and you rarely see that much value increase in the public equity domain). They couldn't care less that the customers aren't getting their products, they are getting their money. Without a market to sell the stock the "values" are just hot air. And without something to show for after 10 years there arent many buyers who would touch this with a long pole. No, Calder's returns are to come from cash generated by the business.
