It's very unlikely, near impossible that they adapt a cloud server structure to a private server structure. "They think about it" way after the game goes live will have them to rewrite the complete client <> server code to a different model (where they can not start a new cloud server if needed).
If they said that they are working on it as soon as the persistent is working then it would make sense.
When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it. The cake is a lie.
Disco Lando said it will come, but as one of the last features.
Which makes sense... First you need a finished game. Then ! you can run that game on private servers.
Have fun
Dont we have a finished game now? Isnt that the justification for no longer giving refunds? The following is quoted from the CIG response to refunds
"While
a substantive part of the promised gameplay is now available, we
acknowledge that delivery of some game elements has been delayed due to
expansion of Star Citizen’s scope."

This Video is very strange cause since 1.x+ they are using pure rigidbodies for everything (which is btw a thing you should never do) and I mean EVERYTHING which causes strange spins and co-reaction of items/players/ships. On top of that a physics grid is very chunky and difficult to control, if the engine lags and the hierarchy of the grid is not 100% in time you will fall through things (the floors rigidbody was calculated to slow, sorry).
Well they are using full rigidbody everywhere, EXCEPT in this video (the proof for this is that the guy is clipping through objects which is a thing physic bodies can not do). So this is a mockup in a static level to show character interaction, MoCap animations and interiour - nothing more - it does not run in the SC environment.
The models itself are very dirty, but I guess they had enough to do with cleaning up mocap data (which is a hell) and adjusting the skeleton for every mocapped actor they are using (different people have different lenght of bones).
We are in Alpha Phase, IMHO with a "First deliverable" currently being tested, which is NOT a feature complete Alpha but a selection of game elements that is being enlarged every month.
I expect these to be the next steps:
Iterations of Alpha Feature Complete Alpha
Closed Beta (Backers only) ... Early and Mid Beta *** up until this point i expect frequent wipes ***
Squadron 42
Late Beta PU (maybe Open Beta with Non-Backers having bought an early bird "boxed set" of SQ42 or something like that)
Operation Pitchfork (player led Beta End Event - Human attack on Vanduul Empire)
The Question is: Does the "FPS only" Module will be released before or after private servers.
Better question why ask that HERE and not on the official SC forums? Last I checked none of us were CR, none of us were CIG employees, and none of us have seen CR/RSI/CIG employee in this forum at any point.
Well, you've proven the point he made in this comment... "... always try to steer away from directly replying to your points. Whenever
you bring out the pertinent points on how CR is dropping the ball on
this project with factual game development issues from a developer's
experience, they either shut up, try to cover/derail your points with
some off topic cover fire..."
Your response is clearly a diversionary tactic. It's also extremely disingenuous.
Why?
Well, if you spend any time on SC's forums here, you'll see plenty of people are more than happy to answer questions or otherwise speak on CR's behalf, in response to pretty much anything. They'll even delve into conjecture, arguing things they can't/don't possibly know as fact.
Erillion, in particular, seems to always have an answer at the ready, though they also often resort to deflection or blatant spin.
Point is, why is "not being CR" suddenly an obstacle now, when it isn't in other cases? Is there no good way to spin the answer to that particular question, maybe?

The secret :
Following project updates and information from many sources since Autumn 2012.
That helps ;-)
Especially as most topics have been discussed exhaustively in literally tenthousands of posts in the last years in dozens of forums on dozens of websites. Some people believe they found the Holy Grail, which is VERY old news usually.

If that is true, why is most of your information incorrect and outdated?
The day I see a SC thread without Brenics and Erillion going at it with their respective followers will be the day I'll believe myself to be in the Matrix.

Then you have been in the Matrix for quite some time.
There have been times when i have not been online at mmorpg.com for days and did not comment in SC threads.
Ergo .... blue pill.... the "blissful ignorance of illusion" ;-)

So that's why I kept seeing nothing but redheads. I've always wondered at the weirdness of it all. Thanks!
More footage of amazing, feature-incomplete, pre-alpha Star Citizen. Notice the fully-integrated "call of duty" style gameplay, almost as if Activision himself had a lovechild with the movie "Gravity". Truly, "first-person-shooter" and this game are as acquainted as Zimbabwe and democracy.

If you like to play with mocap stuff there is a huge free library http://mocap.cs.cmu.edu/

Thank you!
We'll see ONCE the game is launched.
