ALL THE SPERG. ALL OF IT!

I'm pretty sure they just threw away the whole idea of ship replacements having to be fabricated and then physically flown to the destination.

It's loving Farmville in Space.

So exploration is basically sitting in space with a telescope, looking for anomalies, zooming in on said anomalies, and then either sending a probe or going yourself. That sounds super fun.

Of course the loving Mary Sue Swiss Army Starship gets a loving turret module. Every ship gets one. What a surprise given that, once again, we see a ship with "unparalleled modularity" like every other new sale.

you forgot the eat-all-you-can-spergship Endeavor Master Set

Have they bothered to 'limit' the amount of jpegs for sale like the other high priced sales? Or are they just skeeting to the moon with this one?

# ? Sep 30, 2015 03:18

peter gabriel: Nov 8, 2011; Hello Commandos

you can buy jpegs that are limited editions, like, they run out of jpegs after a while

A question. Could the fact that CIG has been seeking corporate investors since 2013 mean they are not really in danger financially due to (private) investor deals made these last 2 years?

Chocobo: Oct 15, 2012; Here comes a new challenger!; Oven Wrangler

Steps to success:
1. Die
2. Respawn at a nearby hospital ship and buy an instant replacement fighter
3. Kill the hospital ship that apparently doesn't have any guns
~~(4. Get banned for "griefing")~~

You can't actually do this because this game will never be released.

It says the front of it detaches from the rear part, so you could just detach the nostromo tractor part, put it up on blocks in one of the shittier domes with a for sale sign on it , $400 OBO and just float around as a space hulk.

I don't know how this is possible, but here's a sweet stash of primo JPEGs, and for some crazy reason they're free: Free LTI Space Game JPEGs

Seriously though, those trading cards ain't worth a thing if they don't come packaged with a flat, lovely stick of gum.
