Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.
Why are Star Citizens hyped for RSI to release a shooter based on a shooter engine? To me that looks like a move to keep the crowd happy while they continue to sell jpeg ships.


Maybe they can design special FPS weapons that are only available to people with certain ships?

It seems like Frontier and a lot of Elite players aren't really interested in that so much though. I really wish that when you made a character you had to lock yourself to being solo or online instead of being able to switch back and forth, and then I'd like for Frontier to add in the ability to control territory, but I don't know if that would every happen.

Which is a shame really. Since Elite has the whole loving galaxy open for exploration, it seems like there would be space for any organization to exploit, and you wouldn't run into the problems of a player org owning everything of work. Just keep the current political setup but allow players to own systems outside the NPC territories, and then if people were worried about traveling in lawless/goon space they could...just not go there.

Elite has a really good skeleton to it, I just wish that they would flesh the game out more. I guess I really want Elite to be EVE but with flyable ships, though that runs pretty counter to what the Space-Euro-Truck-Sim guys want.

Yeah it's really weird that they have this silly adversarial system where factions can face off each other until someone decides to take their ball home and just play solo. Solo play would make a lot more sense if it had no influence whatsoever on faction play, but that would definitely go against the grain if Elite is full of carebears.

Elite is full of carebears.

I've been meaning to acquire space madness for some time. I stopped playing in June after I did the latest community event. Did they ever fix that bug where if you cashed in a community event after a new patch it wiped out everyone else who cashed in and you could get top dollar?

If I was CIG/RSI I'd definitely just step up what they've been doing: pre-rendered or at least heavily scripted footage, followed by a release of what's basically a tech demo... but it's software that runs without crashing, so clearly the game will be finished and great.

These idiots are already invested hook, line, and sinker. Just tug that hook.

One thing I do know. A year from now, Elite will be a better game. There's a quiet comfort in knowing that, one which Star Citizen fans may never really know.

Heh hell if I know, I got burned out on it when the metagame went off into wannabe eve land.. I spent more time talking on forums and the brown sea than playing. Kermit would know.. he seems to be puttering around in here from time to time.

The new stuff looks neat though, I most likely hook up all the hotas + gadgets when the new expansion drops, just to see.

I think what would really benefit is if they provided videos that showed what the game is really intended to be. Scripted is fine, but give backers a sense of what CR's vision for SC truly is.

we can prove you caused damages to our company by attempting to inform consumers of things we didn't want them to figure out on their own

to help the consumers, you thereby damaged our profits. we're in america in 2015, corporate profits trump the consumer's best interest. this is gonna be great.

What bothers me the most is the RSI logo affixed to the wall. If it were me, I wouldn't be spending other people's money on window dressings while I have yet to release a working product. Small things like this speak to the bigger picture and lend a lot of credence to the allegations of irresponsible spending.

on one hand, ostracizing people for who they associate with and which games they play is reprehensible

on the other, from the outside in, the people who play EVE seem to be the absolute worst, particularly goons

drat near every goon I met who was chiefly associated with EVE before other things was kind of a piece of poo poo
