I don't know how much of Derek Smart's blog has been translated into German, because I've spent the last few months reading his posts. My understanding is the German community is still mostly in the dark regarding the behind the scenes drama at RSI. And it's pretty bad.

I used to be wary of this guy (Mr Smart) because he has bumped heads with a community I was involved with before EVE (FreeSpace) but having followed the story for sometime now, I think he's just voicing his opinion. And a lot of the *facts*, unfortunately, don't bode well for Star Citizen.. a game gradually flushing down the toilet, at the expense of everyone who put money into it...

I don't miss EVE. Especially how EVE changed, I hated what it changed into and still do. Even if EVE was still fun, I probably wouldn't play it anymore, because we've done everything in the game. There is no new stimuli. But I do miss internet space-ships. FPS, action games, boats and war games just aren't the same for me. I've always been hardcore sci-fi. And I miss the TDG guys, the casual pirating, the serious fights, the laughs and the drama.

I hope Star Citizen works out, because I really need that internet spaceship fix soon...

I have not played eve since February. Just did not have time for it. TDG is doing well as I see and they killed a shit ton of Titans lately.
I really hope SC will be finished in 2017. How is "No Mans Sky"?

Star Citizen was over-hyped, will under-deliver.
Elite is a nicely looking procedurally generated big void.
No Man's Sky is a fad.

Speaking of overambitious games that will never deliver, anyone here tried Hellion?

It's too early to even call it a game, but it's a promising tech demo that could be fun to play in a group.

I'm holding out on that one. Looks promising though.
Servers do seem to be limited to small numbers of people though.

I had a dream last night, that the old TDG gang were back together playing again.. could it become reality?
