I thought your edit was the read title and was wondering why such a realistic thread of poo poo that'll never happen was so upvoted and popular.

Why has the first ship got cooling fans in the nose? Are they supposed to be for sucking in the vacuum of space and blowing it over hot parts to keep them cool? I don't even....

Dear Star Citizens: Prepare your anuses! Goonrathi Manufacturing is proud to announce our first variant, the Goonrathi PaaaarpLancer! Based on our highly successful griefer class chassis, the Rampaaaarp, the Goonrathi PaaaarpLancer is an even more devastating addition to your tear-harvesting arsenal. Outfitted with a Quad-Paaaarp Air Horn Thrust array, and a "Thumb-Head" Proboscis Penetrator Weapon, you'll be able to keep any landing pad full of debris and free of Citizen humour! As with the Rampaaaarp, simplicity is key. The cockpit features almost no gadgetry, and relies entirely on a Sopwith Camel-style ironsight as its only aiming apparatus. Just point your ironsights at whatever you want to die, engage your Bilateral Alignment Laser Lance System on your Penetrator, set the throttle to "Real Fast", and plow your way to carebear tears today! Click Here to See the PaaaarpLancer in action yourself! Vital Statistics
For a limited time only, you can purchase a Goonrathi PaaaarpLancer for only $25 USD! Hurry, though, because supplies are limited, as I only have so much hard drive space to store all these incredible JPEGs, so right now I'm only selling 15,000 of these incredible machines to start with. Buy now! Click Here to screw around with the Rampaaaarp! See you in the 'Verse! o7

They build a house wallpaper first. pretty sure that's how all professionals do it. drywall first then you build the foundation under it. then you lay the brick down and build the frame within after. gaming is saved and evil publishers are no longer needed. wiring and plumbing? we'll just tear down and rebuild the areas that they will go under.

If they could somehow make the new in-game store a magazine where you can pay for new pages of ships you can buy that would make whacking my e-peen to jpegs a bit more immersive

fuctifino posted:I think CIG had better announce another sale Ok here's a serious question. How the are they making even 75k a day? Let's do some math. 4 package type "groups" base: $45 believer: $100 (avg) whale: $500 (avg) *sperg whale: $1000 (avg) Assume 75,000 per day. 100% base 1667 Purchases Per Day (PPD) 608,455 Purchases Per Year (PPY) 50% base, 50% believer 1208 PPD 440,920 PPY 25% base, 65% believer, 10% whale 920 PPD 335,800 PPY 100% believer 750 PPD 273,750 PPY 10% base, 25% believer, 65% whale 453 PPD 165,345 PPY 100% whale 150 PPD 54,750 PPY *100% sperg whale 75 PPD 27,375 PPY Remember, this is 75k a day which is a dangerously low income level for CIG (2.25 M per month, not counting taxes, so more like 1.7M per month @~28% corp tax) I'll let you guys draw your own conclusions, but any way I chop these numbers, I catch a real bad smell. I just don't see how any of these options are sustainable. Feel free to share your read on this, or add your own calcs. *Note: I didn't even wanna loving consider a group of "purchasers" higher than $500 bucks average, so I quarantined them in their own "special", "state-issued helmet" trial. Edit: simple algebra to calculate distributions: Avg price (P), Percent dist (Y) (P) * X = (75,000) * (Y/100) solve for X Toops fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Jan 23, 2016 |

Toops posted:Ok here's a serious question. How the are they making even 75k a day? Let's do some math. I really don't think the numbers are faked. There's no good real reason to do it, you can drill the numbers down to the hour, during slow times you can spot a single individual make a bad decision. During sale periods you can get a feel for what's going to happen based on previous sales, again, down to the hour. You can spot bad sales coming like the space bus and see it reflected in the figures. You can look at one of the best recent sales like the LTI Vanguard and think, yeah I can see that doing well. The two bad sale months they had last Summer don't make any sense, if there was ever a reason to "adjust" the figures that was the time, possibly their worst period with FPS cancelled and several large names bailing and nothing to show, yet you can see it was bad exactly reflected in the figures. The fact they are well above their normal 20k lowest period after 2.0 released + unmelts for money makes sense, for now. On top of that "adjusting" the figures for a period of years without loving it up in a complete obvious way would take a level of competence and effort from CIG that I've never seen. Now just because I don't think there's any logical reason for them "adjusting" the sales figures and plenty of reasons why they wouldn't or couldn't, that doesn't mean I don't think there are other things going on. I don't think refunds & charge-backs are deducted from the sale total, I also don't believe subscriber income is included. Thinking they fake the figures strikes me as just wishing people weren't idiots and would stop giving them money, human nature being what it is, people are idiots.
