We could possibly organize a goon drive-by and just post an huge amount of fully almost nonsense questions for the next picking round.
I would be amazed to see something like:

"could we possible have the congeniality to relish icecram in space?"

or

"How many days will a standard intergalactic week feature?"

They only take questions from the Subscriber's forum, and unfortunately, all the money from the illegitimate goon Javelin sales scams is tied up in the hidden offsite red-text avatar fund, so we can't just go out and buy everyone a subscription.

These are the dumbest questions I can think of. How many have already been asked?

With the new modular system can I upgrade my constellation to be a flying portapotty?

Will there be an accurate simulation of hair and fingernail growth?

Can we have realistic traits for our NPCs, like asthmatic that makes them vulnerable to space pollen or diabetic that requires space insulin?

I drew a picture of a spaceship in preschool, will you please put it into the game for me?

Will toilets have their own separate upgradable components?

Is there a way I can avoid risky gameplay and non consensual player contact but still receive the same level of rewards?

I like to exert my power over others, can I issue demerits or flog my NPCs?

Apart from ship buying, this actually looks refreshing. Descent was fun and the game style doesn't lend itself to vast overpromises and scope creep like the more open world space sim. Plus I'm curious to see how that group will do as developers, so I'll follow it. Cautiously.

I liked Descent, and I think the interior setting will make dogfighting more tactical and interesting than its Star Citizen jousting counterpart.
Still on the fence about wether to back it or not though. I am kind of burned out regarding the whole "buy now, play in 5 years" model

Probably more like "So we actually had to keep the main thrusters in certain places so the ship would actually fly in a reasonable manner? Thanks for breaking that requirement on us after we finished texturing the whole loving thing!"

The funny thing is in the jump point pdf when talking about the design of the Constellation he correctly lays out all the thruster requirements for it to be physics correct, all thrusters equidistant from center of mass and aligned with it and so on. Somehow after the fact all that poo poo got ignored for later ships.

How did these motherfuckers get the Descent name?

"MULTIPLAYER is the heart of Descent: Underground."
gently caress off. Then it's not a goddamn Descent game.

last I knew Interplay has the name. They were sold and bought and sold and so forth.

I'm sure eventually the rights probably ended up with some guy named Eddie in Indiana to where Peterson only needed to spend a little of his share of sperg loot to aquire.

Since Volition was bought by THQ and THQ is now dead, it's unknown if anyone such as Dave Barenec even give a gently caress about it anymore.

If it was single player, then you might not buy the new ships with real money.

Maybe we can ask for a stretch goal called Descent 42.

quote:

Star Citizen

Chris Roberts and Star Citizen. First, this man and game, more than any other, has shown that crowdfunding is the wave of the future. His success is something any game developer is both envious of, and in complete awe of, simultaneously.

He has demonstrated that you, the gaming community, are more powerful than any publisher, that you can support developers directly to get the entertainment that you want. This is both revolutionary and amazing. This sea change is disrupting the entire gaming industry, and it is scaring the biggest publishers as they lose their control over developers and of what games come to market. If you haven’t checked out Star Citizen, you should do so now! It’s production values dwarf that of most AAA games because it’s led by an experienced and ultra-passionate game maker, who has a vision must drive into reality.

Chris, thank you for leading our industry into the future!
