Really? As many threads that I see asking about it I thought that more people bought it?

I remember looking at the old spreadsheet of goon purchases and it was well below even many of the more expensive ships like the constellation. Lack of people putting money into it would certainly explain why it's been so ignored. The other option is that they have no idea what to do about the gigantic main gun, I suppose.

Unfortunately this seems to be true on every official forum of most games. It must be some kind of circle-jerk positive reinforcement business idea to dismiss all criticisms and without evidence believe your product is infallible. Its crap so, all you can do is speak with your wallet, save your money

I came here to see if there are bets on how much the livestream will fail.. and you guys do not dissapoint. My predictions are: - 15 min late - webpage crashes when sale begins - sandy in some slutty costume in front of sweaty drunk nerds - stream hickups - PU demo will be more technical and less fancy than people expect

Between that and Ben/Wills absolute hate-on for goons, they're real quick to banhammer anyone they think is trolling out of fear that it might actually be goons. This is why I almost never post on the forums and only rarely PM some of the staff directly. Pugh and Peterson especially.

The CIG CM team (Ben, Will, James) don't exhibit the same kind of goon hate as in the earliest days of the SC forums. A few other organizations have proven themselves to be far more retarded than our guys. The rank-and-file volunteer moderators (whose ships we've blown up in other space video games, and who belong to organizations at odds with goon organizations) are probably just as likely to jump on you as ever of course!

My personal theory is that's *exactly* why it's sat where it's at. The other ships need their spitshine first, and the Avenger is already "good enough, even without variants".

Kinda weird considering the Avenger been sitting in people's hangars for a year now. Should think that with the maps being bigger, Avenger should be more viable to play, since it has powerful engines but poor mobility (if I recall rightly).

Well the Starfarer did get over a hundred images of its various White/Gray box conception modeling shown in the subscribers vault, when they threw them all out to start over. The Avenger has done something similar and has been repeatedly redone, first seen with the cargo hold being added/expanded. I imagine they just can't really nail down what CR wants with it so it keeps getting trashed and started again. Sounds a little DNF all the sudden.

After putting a bit more thought I think it's the big loving gun, plain and simple. What size is it? Is it gimballed? How can they make it not complete broken in the DFM as it currently stands? My impression had been that it was designed to fight like American fighters from WWII- tough and fast in a straight line but you'd best hope you don't need to turn. I can see that being effective against a larger ship but that seems like a difficult strategy in AC. Hitting a balance between "impossible to use" and "utter bullshit" would be very, very difficult between the presumed clumsiness and the doom cannon mounted to the front.

yeah it's pretty bad- I understand having a FLJK tag makes one a target but holy poo poo, the guy was going on a full sperg-rage for two pages, and yet I get banned just telling him not to give himself an aneurysm over a drat space ship. The name definitely will stay a while.. I'm really surprised toast didn't send me a message about it. So Cutlass vars but no Avenger... at all. RIGHT. e: quote didn't work.

Cutlass red and blue? So that means only 3 types of Cutlass? I guess they blew their load on variants with all the earlier ships? Clearly we need to pledge more to get their creative juices flowing once more!

Why would they work on making a single seater that costs less than 200 bucks flyable when they can work on concept art and variants for ships that won't have to be in the game for another 6 months at least that sell for far more than 200 bucks each? That's just basic economics. You spend your time working on what drains the most money out of nerd pockets, not what makes a good game. Especially when you have no intention to deliver a game anytime soon.

Its a lot more fun to fly around and shoot at people than it was even a month or two ago. Other than that, CIG is holding their cards close and revealing things when they think they can reap the most funding. Can you really blame them?

The first allotment of 890 ships will be made available shortly after 7 PM PDT, with additional releases every five hours (midnight, 5 am and 10 am Pacific.) I think this is relevent. They must have put it up on accedent due to timezones then brought it down.
