Vilerat was a good dude irl o7

I played pbem games of smacx with vilerat, scrubber, evil weasel, the red mence shard phoenix and Hammerstein a loving life time ago. Vile rat was by far the coolest guy. I think he played the pirates a lot and did some great moves in the early game but he lost steam for the spergy end game. He even talked me down from being an rear end which was impossible to do back in the day.

I will never forget that chill goon vilerat. :unsmith:

Idris M Pricing also collapsed from a peak of $3800 from memory, down to $2400 for anyone looking to pick up a wild bargain. https://www.reddit.com/r/Starcitizen_trades/comments/3qvknw/blackmarket_idris_m_2299_just_how_low_can_it_go/

Scythe's down from a peak of $1800 to $1000 now.

Grey market RSI rate (non LTI) remains steady at about 80-85%.

LTI looking at being "valued" at about $0-$20, with "Limited ships" being kind of useless - probably because they aren't limited at all.
CIG finally did it. LTI is worth nothing, even on the grey market.

Hey redditors, it's not Illfonic's fault Star Marine got shitcanned (yes, it got shitcanned, the assets are reused but all the FPS stuff was recoded), but rather CIG's dumbass decision to contract out part of the game while they were converting the engine to 64 bit, making anything Illfonic made unable to be merged into the main branch. They completely wasted their money other than whatever reusable assets they might have got from them and you are all idiots if you can't see that it's all been redone from the ground up.

I can picture when they had that one producer actually go to Illfonic's studio when they were already over the two weeks release date in an effort to hasten things up a bit, only to realize they were in full panic when they realized none of the poo poo they had made could possibly be integrated back into the game after all that work. Which would make sense given those Glassdoor reviews saying there is poor communication.

What infuriates me

- Everyone is entirely blind to the gross inefficiencies that were done and whiteknighting CIG, while seeminly embracing the idea that "SQ42 will fund the PU".



- Millions upon millions were utterly blown on arrogance.
- "Open development" being everything (spamming PR crap) while refusing to talk about the things that really matter.
- Studio "updates" that are always positive - without acknowledgement of the genuine issues and problems that come with development - a far departure from the "honest look" backers were supposed to get into the project
- Not so much as a pie chart showing the financials.
- "Demos" that are "built" for the purposes of showing off the game, not showing actual progress. They actually said "we learned so much in getting the demo ready". Truly frightening.

Oh well. At least Ben has lost some more weight and is being heartily congratulated for it.

Does Alpha 2.0 even have a release date now or is it 'soon' or 'eventually' or 'two weeks'? Is it coming out before or after SQ42 with :gary:? I still don't see how them losing a bunch of people as they are going into a second version of a loving alpha is a good thing. Typically you shed people at the end of a game when all you really need is bug testing and art stuff before you launch it. Not when you are in alpha and you need to get revved up to get poo poo done to go into beta. Its goddamn delusional. "Oh, everything is ok! They are just shedding dead weight!" Yeah, because when a company is shedding employees when it needs them at a crucial point is always a good sign.

You just answered your own question.

> you shed people at the end of the game
> they are shedding people

ergo

> they are in the polishing phase


A couple more weeks and it will be ready for release. You'd realize this if you weren't so blindly following of your Smart messiah.

Alpha 2.0 is probably going to get released the same day as the E:D expansion, except the only change to the game is the revision build number and they will make you redownload everything.

What's even funnier is cig will make almost no money after the game launches (if ever) cause the only people that would buy it have already backed it and will receive a copy.

Also yeah, I said yesterday they'll release 2.0 when Horizons releases. There's no concrete release date for Horizons yet tho, which is why there's no date for 2.0. Lol.

Poor hard done by concierge members (whales) who feel betrayed and abandoned by CIG when they made it so people could get the Idris-P for the bargain basement price of $2500 instead of the previous $5000. While there were limited numbers of the Idris-P sold at $1250, you could always buy it in one of the $5k packages.



While only available for a few days in October, the spergs who have already spent too much on this boondoggle of a game are up in arms about mere riff raff gaining access to an Idris-P for $2500. 34 pages of mind-boggling arguments about their autism chariots and why it should be exclusive to higher level backers.

The sense of entitlement from the thread is palpable, those who got the limited supply of Idris-P or -M at $1,250 or $1k trolling those who spent $5k, others who melted their existing 'investment' to get in at $2500.. still others arguing that those paying $5k should get special compensation from CIG.

It is stuff like this that makes me worry for the longevity of this game and it's community.
