Follow the steps in the OP to get a refund.

Procedure To Obtain a Refund
1. Consider selling your ships instead, you'll likely get more money.


This one. That's what I want to do.

Marching Powder is objectively the worst poster known. He also needs to learn how a keyboard works.

So I'm watching the "Atari: Game over" documentary, and I have to wonder if in 20 years time there will be one for SC.

i think chris has alot of drive and has a vision for the game that we all want to see, most people would not have the ambition or the balls. in a way chris has to keep on track he cant listen to negative people telling him you cant do this and you cant do that. anything is possible at least he is ambitous and the game WILL be worth all the effort its had put into it.

I hereby declare war on The Escapist.

This is a personal decision I have made due to the recent bullshit articles about Star Citizen. I'm sick and tired of journalists thinking they can get away with whatever the hell they drat well like.

I have formally given The Escapist 24 hours to take down their articles and make a formal apology.

If this does not happen, I will make it my mission to spread the truth of their idiocy by sharing our story and this link https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14979-Chairmans-Response-To-The-Escapist in as many comment sections, forums and facebook groups, as well as repeateded emails to any contact details I can find for The Escapist.

I call upon you, the defenders of our community, our frienships, CR's reputation and our game to do the same.

This war is in no way related to CiG.

The Escapist - You have 23 hours remaining.

While I have a few ships to unload to pretty much break even, I feel I want to see what may be in store at CitizenCon before making any rush decisions.

Overall if we at least get a completed Squadron 42 which seemed to be the next big step that was actually getting worked on besides the Social and FPS module, then I would be pretty content to wait whatever more for the PU part.

While true, I've sold over $2k in ships through the grey market in the last two years and this has never happened to me.

Oh my loving god...you know, he might've been a oval office to the Peroxide Cowboy earlier this past summer with refunds, but given how he responded and processed my own (assuming I get it within those 5-10 days ofc)...I just feel so BAD for this guy.

Consider this- if you do unload your ships and the game is good, you can always buy back in because there's no way they are going to stop selling ships.

Citizen Con is all set to go, the staff have been whipped all year until there's something to show.

Yeah, so, people on something awful dot com are not going to talk any more poo poo about Dr. Derek Smart, clear?

The man did It. He took a poo poo on the ground in front of Chris Roberts, and Chris Roberts picked the poo poo up off the ground and ate it. Right here in front of everyone. We all saw it.

Dr Smart is here to teach, we are here to learn.

I'd like some suggestions for who we can get to play the major roles. Maybe we can get Derek to play himself.

I'm just sayin' all those data points can be explained in terms that don't implicate Sandi as being a terrible human being. But if you are predisposed to think that way (misogyny) then it seems obvious to connect the dots in such a way that it is dispositive that she is. However, that is not indicative of the true state of affairs so much as it is (indicative of) a strong bias against women. I say lets give her the benefit of the doubt.

Automatically assuming a person is blameless because they happen to be a woman is super misogynistic fyi.

In a hard hitting poll Star Citizens are more likely to be 'Unsure' than to disagree with The Escapist



However lots 'Strongly Disagree' leading statisticians to the conclusion that "Star Citizen backers are loving idiots"

True, but with my collection of original LTI ships, it wouldn't be the same.



Mainly I plan to unload a few before the game maybe possibly launched and they locked trading down. That would be where the old LTI ships would have their most value I would assume.
No rush on anything really, not like I am hurting to sell or care to buy anymore.
