Psycho Society posted:What do you guys think is the projected outcome of this project? How long until their funding dries up and what do you think the finished game will like? Im going to predict funding will not run out. Mr. Smart claims to have first hand knowledge that the company has less than a years worth of funds left, but EightAce (who supposedly works for CiG) says they have a "surprising amount of cash in reserve" and most likely will have enough to coast through till sometime q1 2017. My guess is that funding will keep slowing down until it hits 30k a day for several weeks straight at which point non-stop LTI ship sales will start happening and sales will skyrockets to 200k+ per day as backers scramble to aid the company and prevent them from going under. And then Squadron 42 launches, its sales absolutely fail becuase the market is already 99% saturated. and then the whales begin to buy extra copies to keep supporting the game. Sales trickle off as people can only own so many copies of the same game and cant give them away. Then Squadron 42 Episode 2 is rushed out, adding 3 more missions and 47 hours of unskippable cut scenes mostly solo-starring Sandi Gardner, the TRUE hero of the story.

Was it ever determined whether the UEE Fleet number was an accurate count of ships? I'm looking at historical data, and there are a few interesting instances where the fleet # stays the same or decreases, while the funding continues to increase. For instance, back in October 9-12, the fleet number decreased by 171 while funding went up by 1.7 million. Also, it's apparently still possible to get the fleet number, it's just not visible on the website.

Psycho Society posted:What do you guys think is the projected outcome of this project? How long until their funding dries up and what do you think the finished game will like? 10 hours of poorly written and animated cutscenes(unskippable), a handful of scripted missions padded out with a bunch of ubisoft style open world busy work so they can claim xx hours of gameplay. The "mmo" part will be pretty much what it is now with some poo poo copy pasted to make the universe bigger. Lots of tears.

Hi, ho! Kermit "Big Frog" Laphroaig here, and I am the leader and chief cook & bottle-washer of the Diamond Frogs, Elite: Dangerous' answer to Goonfleet, or whatever. Recently came to my attention 20-loving-thousand posts back that Lowtax is giving out free accounts to CIG Forum refugees, so's they can talk about Star Citizen in a non-toxic environment/general deprogrammification. And it was an actual account, not a jpeg of an account. For those new goons, here's the skinny: a lot of goons were Star Citizen backers, and most of them bailed months ago. A great deal bought into Elite: Dangerous and, despite Frontier Developments best efforts, most are still playing. Since Star Citizen has been the greatest Elite: Dangerous recruiting tool I have ever seen, I wanted to do something for you poor unfortunate souls now forced to turn to the comedy forums of Something Awful. So, if you wanna try out the base game which is like 15 bucks on steam, but don't want to spend several hours getting into a cooler ship, I am offering help to any former Star Citizen backer, past present and future, to help them get going towards the ship of their dreams. Now I am not going to help you grind out a 150 million credit Anaconda overnight - but I can help you get into something like, say, an Asp to jump-start your Commandering Career like a goddamn pro, and give you tips and things. A couple million credits and a pat on the rear end later and you'll be dancing, friend. All for zero actual real life dollars. Holy poo poo! No catch. Holier poo poo!! You'll also be honorary members of the Diamond Frogs (ok one catch) because as many complaints as Elite gets, it's a game that really needs a thriving community to shine. People need something to do, and we will give it to them, by Jesus. Sure, we might slap you into an Eagle with no shields and just railguns for an "adventure" but at the moment you have no idea what that means, nor the general significance of the emote, so we'll kill two birds with one stone. Ready? To apply, just go to this thread and follow the instructions in the first post. In your application. Throw in a "PAAAAARP" in the form or application, so we know you're down with the sickness. That way we know what You'll be out of your starter sidewinder and into a cozy Viper Mk IV in no time at all, Commando! Except in this game you actually ARE playing as a Commander, not an alpha as one. Wear it with pride. I am sure this post will get buried soon so pass this poo poo the gently caress on. Tell it to your friends. Like flames passed on from torch to torch let the legend of the Diamond Frogs grow. See you at Mother Goat, Commanders. o7

As to the figure about there 12 days, I posted in a Reddit thread when it was @ 902k 11 days ago. That being said, it's also true we have no real loving clue what any of these numbers really mean.
