Is it gonna be like Eve where the expensive-rear end ships people paid so much for can get blown up anywhere at anytime, and most of those guys who paid $100~1000 for some spaceship will almost never undock with it for fear of losing the ship?

The early backers also got lifetime warranty on those ships and it totally isn't pay 2 win.

Also this isn't an MMO and no persistent universe so it's impossible to undock into an enemy fleet.

They didn't kill themselves over their Buttcoin investments and MTGOX swindling them before collapsing, they won't do it for this.

A couple years back someone in the break room said something about Star Citizen and how amazing it is. I got confused and said something about how I thought it was a project that just vanished into thin air, but he claimed that it totally exists and is great. What Im wondering is: Was he just delusional, or is there some unfinished playable version out there? From what I understood, Roberts just got gazillions of dollars and hes just cramming it up his rear end, but was I wrong?

Now I may be an autistic retard who needs to take a mountain of pills to perform the most basic of tasks, but I still haven't lost hope.

You know why? Because Star Citizen is more than just a game. It's an concept. It's a new chance.

In Star Citizen we can all be famous explorers, successful miners or legendary pilots.

In Star Citizen.... we can all aspire to be more.

So the new projected date is 2017/18, did they have an original release date in mind that's just been pushed further and further back ala Duke Nukem or was it always kinda vague?

According to that post, if it's true, they're burning 3.5m a month. How do they even manage that without some serious coke binging :psyduck:

There's also the case of them, as from the CIG artist David Jennison's resignation letter, is that CRoberts is forcing them to work on assets that look well in screenshots and small demo videos, but are so high-quality that they don't play well in a game and take forever to make. There's also parts where CRoberts or the art designer signed off on concept art, the artists completed a model according to the concept, then CR comes in and says for them to redo the model for something that came from the concept stage, breaking the whole pipeline.
