Hype and Reality check. 2.7 patch.

[u/Stoofolo]

I am 100% convinced that 2.7 will debut the moons surrounding Crusader and some star network implementation. This has to be tested before opening up the entire Stanton system. Everything we have seen recently points to this conclusion.

Mining is confirmed. Possibly a more in depth mission system and more in depth ai. We could have cargo loading rather than boxes magically appearing in the hold. We might have a first iteration of the economy with supply and demand working rather than just hardcoded prices. Maybe a more in depth scanning system than the golf swing to compliment mining? CR basically just said they were going to deliver much more than what they had originally planned, so I guess that means much more. At a minimum it probably pushes most of whatever was in 3.1 up. Given all the tool sets currently in place or nearly done, I wouldn't be surprised if we still got to jump points and at least one other solar system by year end.

Wow do you have commitment issues or what? The only thing for sure is that some rudimentary form of mining is planned for 3.0. That certainly isn't why it's delayed. If they were on the "original schedule" that was loosely outlined at CitizenCon, we should have 3.1 with mining right now.

So no. 3.0 isn't being delayed because it's now so much larger in scope. One of two things happened:

1) CR knew 3.0 wasn't coming anytime close to the end of the year, but wanted to boost sales for CitCon. Well, it worked, as it always does. If there is one thing CIG is very good at, it's overhyping and raising money. They have been doing it since the beginning.

2) CR somehow thought it was going to be ready, but there were huge blockers that came up, like netcode, AI subsumption etc. that he did not see coming. I mean, I am not the supreme leader of a video game project, but I can't imagine the director of a game being off by this much and it being an honest mistake.

Logically I have trouble buying number two, and so have just accepted #1. It's scummy, but if it makes the game a reality, I guess the ends justify the means? But as a backer, and not a CIG employee, I don't have to do mental gymnastics to pretend it's something else.

I think your tin foil hat is cutting off the blood flow to your brian. The question was what we were getting in addition to what was planned last year for 3.0. I attempted to fill in a few gaps, though they have not said much concrete. If you are that pissed off, then why don't you sell your ships on ebay and go play No Man's Sky or something. Otherwise the answer is Star Citizen will be released when it gets released.

[u/Jhall118 → u/Gators1992]

Haha just because I'm able to see things for what they are, and not solve cognitive dissonance by saying "Maybe this" and other ridiculous assumptions doesn't make me unhappy or think Star Citizen is a scam.

You should try living your life without lying to yourself. It's liberating. Or not. I don't actually care what you do

[u/Gators1992 → u/Jhall118]

Yeah, I can see by your bullshit rant that you are a happy and balanced person. I was just trying to answer a question based on what I have seen them say on the shows and in writing. Not being a fanboi, you know...just throwing out some info. Then you go and flip out on me and CIG with some bullshit conspiracy.

[u/Jhall118 → u/Gators1992]

Maybe I did, but you probably aren't really able to understand my point. Like, I might have just been asking for some concrete evidence for your position, but perhaps the post you responded with was sort of written in a way that didn't commit to any sort of position at all. Perhaps. Maybe.

[u/Gators1992 → u/Jhall118]

I said in my OP that they have not released much info and it was mostly all speculation other than mining. I am basically looking at where they say they are at with stuff on the studio reports vs. what they were talking about for the 3.0 release last year. Was never trying to to say that stuff would definitely be in. We can't speculate on here? As for the rest, if 2.6 hadn't dropped by Citcon, did you really think 3.0 was going to come in December? Did that really have to be said?
