A problem I thought off:

I know. But has he been giving updates in area 53? We need his serverportal stuff. Oh, and tell him that I want phase jumping to look exactly like it does in Sins of a Solar Empire, if he is even doing the animation of jumping. If not, then that's your job.

whats area 53?

POLICE STATE

WALLSTREET PROTESTERS SAVE MEEEEEEEE

seriously, what is it

Its a rumored forum (which may or may not exist) where the devs discuss [CENSORED]. Or at least that's what I've heard. Personally I think it's just a myth.

ah, ok

(He is a dev. So he would say that to you.)

Anyhow, Area 51 exists, Area 52 was already used up, so Area 53 is all that's left. I didn't think you would fall for it. Anyway, it doesn't exist. It was a joke.

...

Stop with the edits.
Stop divulging privileged information
Can Cyan be my color if I ever become a mod? Fixed it, too.

I heard once any normal member reaches over 9000 posts, they can access it. Just a myth though

Yeah, I doubt anybody here will ever reach that.

In time you could at this rate, statistically, even though posts will slow down after a while.

I have 600 posts, about. Lets say 500, for the sake of simplicity. It would take me 20 times this to reach 9000. And after that, then what? I probably still won't get to 51.

Just a myth, you never know.

OR DO YOU????

yeah probably just a myth

The area IS real, we don't discuss much that could be strictly called secret, but there are a few things you could potentially want. Ex, Frost's bug ridden between-dev release of Copernicus(it isn't even compiled). Its still all engine work, your really better off downloading the Zeppelin mod for now.

P.S., its Area 51, not 52 or 53

Treason! He has spread the word! Quickly! Fetch the Iron Maiden and the thumbscrews!

That's a secret. Be quiet.

I don't really like secrets, I can keep them just fine when its justified, but theres no real reason to keep this a secret.

Posts are calculated with a quadratic equation that has a horizontal asymptote at 9000. Your post count is rounded. You can approach 9000, but never equal or exceed it.

The reason to keep it a secret is that it makes us feel special. And because its a secret. Redundant logic beats all else.

Also area 51 defiantly might exist. And it defiantly might not exist.

It wasn't that bug ridden...

Can you please give it to us? I mean, you are using a different method, and that Size does not Matter video makes me want to animate the Comit Streaker so badly.

That code non-trivially incompatible with 1.1.0, the ship had to be cut out manually from within the code, and you can't interact with the blocks outside of basic collision. Also the ship still uses the original glDisplayLists, so pieces of it will randomly get replaced with other terrain. It was just a proof of concept and I really don't want people trying to use it.

Once the new system is working I will make sure to release a demo before doing anything else.

So: It was hard coded in?

That's fine with me! And I can backdate. D:

We need a little progress bar so I can watch it being filled.

YAY! Uhhhhh, make it bigger. That way it fills up more. Trust me, I had to make a little scale for my school on how much money we raised. The big one made it seem like we were going so fast. Here, let me explain.



From xkcd, which I bet somebody else also read. Make it like that.

Xkcd fan? Me too. My guess for progress is around 9/11.

so THAT'S what xkcd is
