    I feel the same way about strike suit zero after playing it at PAX, maybe if I had a better tutorial or a guide alongside the controls. I think it was shipped too early, maybe PAX East will have a better experience.

    All signs point to a new space sim. For example, the poll on their website asks if you like cockpits.

    I AM PUMPED

    FUCKING

    PUMP

    Gotta be faster than that if you want to keep my torpedoes from hitting the convoy you're supposed to be protecting!

    Hmm..."do I like cockpits"?

    No.
    Yes, unless it's a fully 3D cockpit that utilized my TrackIR 5.
    ...in which case, that's a case of "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!"

    I'm looking forward to both Chris Roberts' new game and Strike Suit Zero.

    I don't expect the latter to be the best space sim ever--but I'm hopeful it will be the leading edge of a space sim revival.

    I've waited long enough, dammit.

    I know that part; I signed up, got the golden ticket, everything.

    I'm just not seeing anywhere to type in 42.

    I see a button that says "Enlist."

    Which I've already clicked on and filled out (yesterday), so clicking it again just brings me to the home page with a bunch of news articles, etc.

    I didn't, yesterday, and still don't see anywhere to enter "42." Screenshot, maybe?

    Odd, I had to enter it to view the page. maybe you're stealing internet cookies from someone. Which is messed up, cause stealing cookies is like the meanest thing ever, ask my daughter.

    Do you have StopScript? I had to turn it off for that site before it would load the prompt.

    The "start" page initially brings you to a countdown with a binary number, and an "enter code" box at the bottom.

    Putting "42" into that box brings you to the introduction from Chris, and the "enlist" button.

    Weird. Never saw that first page - went directly to the "Enlist" screen. :D

    So, if I've already Enlisted, and gotten the golden ticket, do I actually need to find the 42 thing? Sounds like I don't.

    I accepted Chris Roberts as my personal lord and savior as a boy and have not looked back.

    (Except to look past that movie he didn't make because it didn't ever actually exist LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU.)

    I didn't even know that movie Never Existed. Had to look it up on IMDB.

    That movie broke physics so much, it removed itself from history.

    Anyone who's seen it will know exactly what I'm talking about.

    I never understood how he was able to mess up the Wing Commander movie so bad. All he had to do was take the footage from WC3 and 4 and add in some dogfight scenes, or just reshoot those scenes with the same actors using actual movie equipment. Instead he hired Matthew Lillard and Freddie Prinze Jr.

    I'll bet the casting of "hot young stars" in the lead roles was studio meddling. Outside of them there was a lot of great casting. Jurgen Prochnow for example.

    He is awesome, but his role was stupid.

    That whole movie was stupid.

    But yeah, I'm sure the studio had as much or more to do with it sucking.

    Story so far makes it sound a bit more Starlancer, which I am also A-OK with.

    But then again, 2+ years out speculation olol.

    oh my word

    Edit:
    Star Citizen features a dynamic economy and an open world. Roberts describes it as a mash up of Freelancer and Privateer, two of his previous games, and a Wing Commander game.

    Enemy ship designs look quite Kilrathi.

    The graphics look gorgeous. Roberts' indication that this would "melt hardcore gamers' PCs" makes my almost four year old computer tear up a bit, but by the end of 2014 I should be able to afford a new one.


    .... and that trailer almost made me tear up a bit.

    This must be years away. But still, I am so excited for this. Part of me says that an idea like this is too big. Too ambitious. Too good for this world.

    Also, I hope that was a stealth mechanic I was seeing. Laying powered down, undetectable, until the time is right.
