Someone should let Crowbcat know.
Anyways just bought this on PC time to tinker with things.
The problem is not that it was scripted.
From the E3 2015 Demo.
Sean Murray on Stage: "I'm gonna do something really stupid. I'm gonna pick one of these (planets) at random. And we can go there. Now this was ok in rehearsal, otherwise I wouldn't be here. But if anything horrible goes wrong just keep in mind that I've not been there before."

Nah he said it was scripted iirc
I admit this one was funny.

It all depends on the parity clause.

Maybe he was scared of a crash.

Yeah. They way he did the presentation made it seem like it was random, but just a tweaked build where they could have it set so they always warp in to a space station, the first planet is always close by, always has a beacon close by, always has live and flora etc but from the files it makes it look like it wasn't even just random with the odds stacked in their favour, but just straight up scripted and fixed.
I mean, it doesn't change anything about the game, you can still do everything that was done in the presentation (except for the bit where he warps multiple thousand light years. At least I can't yet and you might with a better warp drive, I dunno, I'm still saying its ok though), but it does kind of sting a bit that this one, small, indie company that seemed to be showing all the big companies how it's done just does the same stuff they do, lie on stage and exaggerate features. It's just disappointing even if I am enjoying the game and feel it is 99% what I expected it to be.
The people catching packets have found nothing regarding location data. The only data transmission seems to be discoveries. People need to accept it and move on.
Amazing
Even meet two battling factions engaged in a space battle? (I asked this also in the review thread because it caught my attention, I don't remember seeing this in the streams)
Is in the game

Yes I have encountered this.
I engaged in the wrong enemy and automatically I got wanted stars and was murdered.

Wrong. It all depends on what terms Sony imposed on Hello Games that make them interrupt and change the topic of conversation whenever another platform is mentioned during interviews.
That's cool, I have to search some videos of this.

(It's literally called FLYINGSNAKE)
It seems like all meshes that are part of a "species" are inside the same index/vertex buffer, will look at it some more when I have the time.

Sure at "Random".
So he lied about the E3 demo just like he lied about the online multiplayer. Huh, makes you think...

Literally two posts after that one:
Lets not turn this into another one of those threads.
What else is he hiding? Is Sean Murray even his real name
"I mean what is a name, really? A sound? A sound you make to get someone's attention. "Sean...."...."Sean..." Is that really who I am? Is that me? That sound? I'd say I'm a lot more then that."
Back on topic, I'm really hoping to see positive mod-ability information out of this, if that's a no go I'm not sure they'll see my money until we see some really good sales.
How does that clear up anything? So he lied and was super vague

Yeah, the real big snakes (as in the Dune like sand worms) don't appear to actually exist and were probably just something made for that trailer.

I'm hoping you can find flags for making items stackable, max stack size, etc.

those could probably be done through Cheat Engine. If you just throw the value one over the limit that should allow you to keep collecting.
Thats because Sony has the marketing rights.
The parity clause will determine if MS picks it up or not (If, and When Hello Games even decides to bring it over)

Congratulations, you really deserve it!

Nah not to anybody who was paying attention. Too many people bought into his shy bashful harmless persona. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he totally hams it up in order to win your favor. Said the exact same thing about the insert in the games. A lot saw through it and were called cynical. It was just obvious what he was doing.

I know it is possible. I can try changing it.
I was guilty of buying it even though I am normally pretty skeptical. I think I just really wanted to believe in the line he was delivering. Sometimes it's nice to hope even if it's hopeless. Was a really good hype train ride, and now I have a relaxing, pretty little resource gathering game I suppose. Would
will

I'm still torn on this. I can still buy him being a shy, bashful dude, and him not hamming it up.
I think he's also a dude trying to sell a product and he oversold his game on things he couldn't deliver on. He's not special, being shy doesn't mean you are incapable of overpromising.
