What 1.0 means | Star Citizen

[@RomanNumural9]

Great commentary and thoughtful insights. I was surprised when i found out you only had

[@Shadowshade-Gaming]

Thank you!

[@Frank-os6gq]

They are defining 1.0 cause server meshing is ready and that was the lynch pin of all future development. Server meshing is critical and is the persistent universe.

[@Shadowshade-Gaming]

You make an excellent point here. The server meshing is more critical than people realize because (as a backend software engineer myself) it impacts the backend and makes certain features have to be written around how server meshing is designed. Which is why some items are technical debt meaning they have to fix it because it doesn't work with server meshing (ATC).

[@MrGregAndo]

Good assessment. It will be interesting to see how things progress from here…

[@Shadowshade-Gaming]

Thank you! Yeah, it will be. This sets things in motion which make it hard to reverse track

[@alexgerling3686]

I think maybe 3 years for 1.0 but they have so much to do, not all ships that are flight ready are polished and when they introduce base building and the other mechanics I'm sure that will add more development, I'd be happy with a smaller planetary count if they deliver in a more clean version to start 1.0 and build from there I think that is their goal but we shall see!

[@Shadowshade-Gaming]

Yeah, it's a tall order, and as I know, as a software developer, there's always something you miss when planning, or you have to pivot due to restrictions. I think it was wise of them not to give a date, but I wonder how long they can do that as money sets hard dates on companies.

The reason it seems like a perpetual development game to toy is because its completely open development. Its like if starfield had open development and there was no game and no playable demo until year 7 you would say its a scam or whatever. Bethsda said themseles it wasnt a game or even fun till a year or so before release when everything finally came together.

[@TheeDaddyDino]

Took 7 years from 3.0-4.0 so by that math we are a long way out from 9.0 let alone the big 1

[@heru_ur6017]

All they did, and nobody seems to be able to see it is , try and justify 10 more years of milking the backers .

[@Frank-os6gq]

Thats not true, so you think the promise of constantly updating a game is bad? They arent milking anyone, almost all backers who pledge do so cause they want the game they love to succeed and be a reality. How is that milking when its a pledge? Its similar to a kickstarter like the orignal kickstarter campaign, but its grown. And now its finally coming together with server meshing being implemented.

It wasn't great cit con. It was awful one. Pushing Sq42 AGAIN. Creating drama with insurance and galaxy. Not to mention broken mess of 3.24.2. All amidst news of them spending backers money into bizantean Manchaster office, while firing 100-150 employees quietly. The clusterf this citcon-after-week was is just incredible. Just go to spectrum to see this.
