It's just that he's adding more to the game before release. Thus once the boring background stuff is done. you'll content WAY faster*. *may not be true

Scruffpuff posted:Dead on. What would persist? What would a character wipe mean, for example? Does anyone ask these questions on the cig forums because its exactly what i think about when people wonder why someone could possibly question the bdsse, they don't have anything except ships and a tech demo. Its like when that true believer guy came itt and i asked him to convince me but he couldn't answer a single logical question about how the game would actually function except ermm "do you like spaceships????"

EightAce posted:There will be jail time and there will. most probably be deaths connected to this Nah. It took nearly five years of people anonymously sending the SEC tips on Madoff before they actually acted. Financial malfeasance is difficult to prove, and usually ends up tied up in court over the movement between different trading entities. I posted a fuckton about this back when Smart was claiming the same thing, but the burden of proof remains on the prosecution to _prove_ that there was an attempt to deceive in an industry where people don't hit targets or make wild claims all the time. You don't have to believe anything above, but you should look for precedence in both the US and UK. The deaths are possible, though. There are some horrifically bad decisions being made around this thing and it's totally a cult, now.

Sorry, I forgot to apply SC logic — my mistake. “Chris didn't do X, he's just doing [something that is the very definition of X]”. This holds true for all X related to SC.

I don't mean jail time about this being a scam, It isn't a scam at all. But there will be jail time . I have mentioned before that there are some genuinely terrifying people involved in this , some of the fans are batshit insane, not internet warriors but genuine physcos who have already offered to 'hurt' people that question the vision too vocally. For all the sinister bunny ear idiots and guys dress like ISIS fighters there are eastern European guys with Star citizen tattoos, German bikers , guys in the Military from the Balkans all sorts of whack jobs

Hey man you can feel free to hate/not hate any of the clown brigade that is CIG, I won't judge you for it. There are clearly a lot of very talented, very dedicated people working there.

As far as I can tell the general rank and file of the bodies at CIG are amazingly talented people trying to do an impossible task and succeeding in ways the defy understanding before their efforts are given the Sisyphus treatment and they must start anew. Erin is one of the up and ups and seems like a dude who enjoys working with people to make games and maybe not being filmed while doing it. My curiosity concerns how deep he is in with the least desirable aspects of CIG.

This thread... https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/318680/low-tech-future-can-a-simple-lore-change-explain-it/p1 Guy asks a simple question. The net result is there are 40 replies that basically sound like all that poo poo is in the game. Encryption, jobs, ships, reputation, etc. The disconnect of reality is amazing.

It just dawned on me that I've never seen anything on progression of your character in and of itself. Will you gain experience levels or skill levels? I'm not talking about the gear you have or your space chariot, but like, is a 1000 hour character on equal footing with a ~0 hour character loot aside in a shoot-mans situation?
