The anouncment that the BMM was now on hold again. during a sale. when CIG had been hyping it all year is seriously like a gut punch to everyone who dared get the least bit excited or hopeful that we would see her soon. honest feelings are honest The announcement was vague as alwase. apparently the team working on it got moved to another ship. John Crew said himself last year that it was inefficient to stop and start a ship in the pipeline repeatedly. With the BMMs delay, again. Im left thinking about my beloved Orion. last time I saw it was in a test environments where they had it, and the Hull C and D. apparently this was the time that they were realizing that the cargo boxes on the back need to fit on the hull C or D. and we were told it had doubled in size. Mining progressed to the level of prospector. then they stopped at refining and splittable huge asteroids. probably need server meshing for that to work. I get it. but can i please load some bulk ore into the pods and run cargo with it? can i at least look at the thing I gave you money for? I have held onto my Reclaimer despite its features not existing yet. I could visit it in my hangar and walk around. imagining what it would be like when it was fully functional. like many of the ships. the game has features that need to be built out. we understand that. but when you tell us that a cargo ship is being stopped because.. reasons. after you've hyped it all year. I have to ask. why dont you just assign a team to each large ship? then they can all work in parallel, and get it done. along the way I realize you might need to account for game features that dont exist yet. but thats ok. thats part of growing. Id help you if you asked. and paid me enough. I know that there are ships that need work for SQ42. but CIG is boastign of increasing office space all the time. Growth is something you excel in. so why not grow the ship team? How many 3D moddlers would it take to get the 12 most anticipated large ships out into our hands, within 2 years? serious question Server meshing is coming online now. The backbone arcatecture to support all the big ships, and there gameplay loops is now being used internally we are told. so now is the time to devote manpower to building the assets that funded the game.
