Mass effect sucked but it did have good armours. The first one had some cool astronaut style white ones and doom guy green ones, mass effect 2 had more scratchy battle damaged ones, I remember the blue suns armour was awesome.

Hey Jared, I know you read this thread. Here's the deal. When you tell someone that something is not a priority, that it is in fact the lowest of all priorities, and that you will not even see it until the game is live... that means the feature is not being delivered. You didn't just say it was something you wouldn't be working on until the end. You said it wouldn't even be thought about until the game was done. That is a broken commitment, right up there with drop-in drop-out co-op being gone, and the least you can do is own up to it and admit it. There's a pretty healthy contingent of carebear super spergs who are terrified of being forced to play with other people, and you just hosed them over.

are we actually seeing the beginning of the end unfolding in front of our eyes? please don't get my hopes up, i have been waiting too long for this!



I think we can all calm down. The first few months of the years are a slump for many industry, they have plenty of assets to downsize before running out of cash and can easily throw up another sale with a different theme to get a few more thousands $ in fuel. Heck, just selling the furniture could give them a month or two.

For me the only thing that can announce the beginning of the end will be the release of SQ42 for sale as a real product, not another "Forever early acces alpha test baby". If its good, the project will probably keep on chugging until something approaching a playable game get in the hand of the public, even if it take 1-2 more years.

If sq 42 is a failure and get panned by the critics then its sure as hell the end of this in its current form. remember than SQ42, unless its a massive sleeper hit, will sell almost no copies, since probably 90% of the people interested in it already have bought it and the 10% remaining will be busy playing another hot new 3dfps title released in time for next Christmas.

Forget SC. They have to deliver something, that something is SQ42 and by its very nature (single player 3dfps with a story told via mocap cutscene) is has to come out in a large, complete and playable chunk. This is the pass/fail test.

Everything rest on that 400+page script.

Hey also Jared. If you don't end up bothering with this, please do keep selling pre-orders for the digital manual of the feature you are not delivering. It's such an incredible dick move, and really speaks to me about what CIG is all about.

They'll probably have enough money to last until October which will give them another sale period and enough money to last well into 2017. Their problem is that people are actually starting to expect a game and expecting it fairly soon, the image problem is bigger than the funding issue now. They still made over 60k yesterday, 2.0 might actually have raised their 20k/day funding floor in the same way that DayZ raked in loads of cash.

I'd love to see P2P microtransaction gambling with small carry fees. Picture opening your mobiGlas to make a bet on who's going to win the next race, sitting in your 890J watching a series at some race course.

All other MMO's avoid gambling like the plague for a reason. Which means gambling is the perfect fit for Star Citizen.

Two ships they will never sell again Idris M $1000 , Scythe $300 (there was a secret wait list to buy them though but that stopped near the end of 2013).

They heavily implied or actually said a lot of other ships would not be sold again and then sold every single one (890 Jump only one so far not to come back but it will).

To celebrate the release of the Aurora, we’ve put together a special AURORA SALE WEEK promotion! We’re making a special edition version of the Aurora, the Aurora LX, available for a limited time. The LX will be available in the finished game, but this will be your only chance to pledge for it through the site

This has happened so many times that I've never even seen anyone attempt to keep a list of the times they have changed their mind about something after the sale period ended.

Edit, and it's not just once, the Aurora LX has been sold at least another couple of times since 2013, most recently 2 months ago, but always on a "buy now or you won't get it" basis.

The 14 day thing is a legal requirement and you have to publish it on your website in the EU. Giving everyone 14 days means they can say they are doing it out of goodwill which sounds better and keeps the donation/gift myth alive.

Funny you mention gambling because in this video CRobbers said they are gambling that they will be able to fund post release development will be funded by selling limited amounts of UEC and new game packages. I'm curious how many new game packages beyond what backers have already bought they expect to sell. Thanks AP for watching the video and linking to a funny bit, I always click on these CIG produced youtube videos and see they're 1 hour long and turn right the gently caress around.

Won't sell ships after launch, however will sell UEC which allows you to buys ships, also will sell game packages which include ships (like the aurora, hornet or something).
