that's not even the most recent stretch goal hit

quote:

Enhanced Ship Modularity – So you have the ship of your dreams, but really wish that it could be customized to suit your needs a bit more than the off-the-shelf models? This new goal, a massive undertaking, is going to be of interest. We are looking to overhaul any suitable ships (including the Cutlass, Avenger, Retaliator and Redeemer) to allow many modular components to be available as swap-outs. For example: if you have purchased a Redeemer, then using the new system you would have a variety of new modules available to refit the ship, internal and external, to suit your play requirements. If you wanted to make it a Bounty Hunter ship, you could buy a “Stasis Chamber module” for the lower deck and you would be able to capture and store fugitives to be delivered for their bounties at your leisure. You could configure the upper deck to be outfitted with a “long range communication suite” allowing you to keep in touch with your “Infoagent” even when in deep space. Fed up of Bounty hunting? Swap in a larger cargo module in the lower deck to make that profitable run you have been planning for a while, or add the Explorer Module with deployable vehicle for some planetside recon. Manufacturers will still be offering pre-configured variants, but should you be looking to adapt a hull to suit a certain task then your ship has come in (and is now ready for modification!)
"This new goal, a massive undertaking, is going to be of interest."

this project will crash and burn so hard

seriously star citizen could turn out to be the most amazing game of all time and it still wouldn't excuse them charging over ten thousand american dollars for about a dozen ships, most of which only existed as a single piece of concept art and none of which you could fly at the time

i disagree

when you can make someone part with $10k that easily you have a moral obligation to scam it out of them for a video game spaceship before someone else scams them out of it for something else

after all that money's going into the wrong hands somehow you might as well make sure it's hands that will just spend it on hookers and blow

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

iirc it turned out that the guy was kind of an idiot. like instead of ordering stuff from a restaurant supplier he just went to walmart and bought all his ingredients so it meant that hot dogs were like $5. also i think it turned out he was racist
