CitizenCon 2016

[Legend]

Like Elite Dangerous!

[Raven]

I'd be fine if like... 70 to 80 percent of the worlds were like that. I have a bad feeling that it will be closer to 99.

[Legend]

What CR said last show made it sound good. Having millions of NPCs on planets to make them feel populated.

[Raven]

What got me excited was when they said that worlds will actually have ground wars that happen that you can get involved in.

[Raven]

lol @ chat "Next up is Juanita who cleans the bathroom!"

[Legend]

Oh I didn't recall that.

I'm interested to see how they balance foot combat vs ship. What's to stop you from just flying over said ground battle and shooting everyone?

[Raven]

Being easily shot out of the sky?

[Raven]

I wouldn't want to risk my ship considering that if you don't actively insure it you can lose it permanently.

[Legend]

I guess... gameplay is the part of SC I have zero faith in. That can't just be made better with money.

[Raven]

I don't blame you. So far this has been nothing but a series of different systems being slowly added to the game. So far, CR has not given you or anyone else a reason to be confident in the gameplay because they honestly haven't done anything to show you otherwise.

[Raven]

That's kind of what I was complaining about earlier. That they haven't actually shown a lot of gameplay going on. Where are the space battles? Where is the ground combat? Where are the videos detailing the mining or salvage operations and not just showing you pretty visuals?

[Legend]

I loved playing the PU and walking around stations+ships but I just never felt like direct combat was fun.

[Raven]

Everything they have right now is so barebones because instead of fleshing out the initial systems they've shown us, they keep throwing new things at us that are also barebones.

[Legend]

Hopefully 2.6 with Star Marine helps flesh some of that out.

[Raven]

Yeah. I'm hoping they start showing us beefier gameplay tonight.
