Another weird thing from the modding forum:

This guy should be payed by CIG.

Someone not only modelled a new ship for a future mod, he also wrote a complete brochure explaining what the ship does in detail. He also invents 1-2 gameplay mechanics I'm sure Chris Roberts doesn't know about yet.

This guy is basically all what is wrong with CIG in miniature format, minus the pay for his work. (And the obscene pricetag. Of course as modder he can't just demand 2k $ for his "product". :v:)

You can say whatever you want about the madness of producing brochures for things that dont exists in a game that is so far limited to a tech demo but by the Buddha, the cockpit on this trash hauler actually look serviceable.

That ship has a strange quality to it, like it's made out of cast iron or something?

Meh, that's a pretty good ship concept. He's got solid gameplay behind it and a cool niche to fill, kinda the opposite of NEWS VAN. I'd play that ship in a competent and complete space MMO.

Too bad there's none of those around.

Its kinda like the Eagle of Cosmos 1999. Simple, utilitarian design you would expect from an eastern Europe firm. A place used to produce farm tractors that suddenly get told one morning that they are now doing spaceships by order of the economic planing bureau.

Oh that. I thought they had finally figured out (yet another) instance of CIG not living up to their dreams. If it's just them being persecuted by the whole internet, then that's no different from every other day.

Only Star Citizens think that being passive-aggressive is a good personality trait.

It is fostered by people like Ben writing tomes over minor moderation decisions, and Roberts spending all day rebuffing an article critical of corporate culture and threatening legal action. They are the people who berate service workers who mess up their burger order, or that the checkout line is taking too long. It's 'objectively true', but you come off as a terrible human being. Instead of addressing the core issue being presented, they rather criticise the people who are making them upset.

That's not how you teach someone a lesson, you gibbon. Take a page from the star shitizen book. Uncle Smart says something nasty about Crobbits and his ponzi game, shitizens spite spend another $1,000 on jpegs. Get out your goddamned checkbook and send this man 1,000 dollars.
