Evidently if you have a bed you can log out away from ports of call. If you don't have a bed once you disconnect they turn your real-world-money ship into an AI entity & have it pilot to the closest safe landing zone. Hijinks may ensue whilst your ship is still in-verse but you are not.

Does the AI have a chance to crash to desktop too

lmfao is there a source for this? lol just lol at the idea that the default plan is to have AI takeover, which is somehow easier than the stretch goal of removing the ship from space on logout.

I love it when they refer to this money as a donation. Seriously they're like magicians over there. Sometimes they're a multi million dollar game company that needs top of the line gear and sometimes they're a boostraps charity lol

I'm pretty certain that the language on their site, EULA, and TOS, all refer to them as purchases. Which makes it funnier they claim they're donations etc. given that they themselves are calling them purchases in their legal language.

Not yet, but she will. It takes time to drain the hope and life out of all 300+ CIG employees without them getting suspicious.

Q. What happens on a disconnect or rage quit? Do I lose a life?

When you disconnect (or otherwise quit in flight) the server attempts to take you to “auto pilot”. If you’re in a space instance (i.e. not already in warp/ auto pilot) and close enough to a hostile the server will attempt to gain enough separation to enter auto pilot. If it’s successful the server will then place your ship back on the planet you last landed on. If not, and you haven’t managed to reconnect to your AI controlled ship before the hostile destroys your ship it is assumed you ejected successfully and will be returned to the last planet you landed on. If you have insurance will have a new hull waiting for you. We will monitor player’s disconnects and if we feel like you are “gaming” the system we may enact a “death” penalty on you and decrease your internal life count.

Now available only in-game at Astro Armada: The RSI Firetruck3000. Because space is full of fire. And evidently oxygen.

Speaking of stretch goals & documentary films, wonder how the $14M stretch goal is coming along.



How do you turn a 4 year long slow motion trainwreck into a feature length documentary? Shouldn't they be getting Ken Burns on the case? 18 hours of jpegs sliding across the screen with a voice over is what this glorious event deserves.

I'd put money on them claiming that RTV/ATV/10ftc fit that criteria. They're all "professional quality" after all, and there's definitely hours of content!
