Got an assassination mission for a guy. Jump into system, find him, and he's in an eagle. Interdict him, start firing and the feds turn up. My ship decides to explosively disassemble out of fear.

It wasn't really the ship, it was the half a million in bounties I'd forgotten to turn in. :banjo:

Considering you have near zero risks compared to other game activities you cant really ask for insane payouts.

Rotten luck in CQC will cost you time.

Rotten luck on a smuggling mission in universe will cost you time, a fine, ship insurance rebuy and influence loss with the mission giver.

I see it more as a "train for PVP mode" than a game activity.

They could bonify the thing with alternative rewards like the unlocks from power play. A unlocked weapon with the same stats but half a ton lighter would probably not imbalance the game and still be nice as a reward.

Maybe truly "bling" vanity mods like colored reactor trails (its just metal salts injected into the exaust plume), neon undelights for the scarab or space fireworks.

CQC PvP is absolutely nothing like PvP in Elite. The only 2 things they have in common is that you shoot another ship, literally everything else is massively different

Breaking up is hard to do...

There was a link to a google spreadsheet showing numbers/graph. It was on Sunday and therefore 4000 posts ago.

What I found odd is, on average, the daily star citizen number adds sits around 2000 or so. Then the split happened, and on the 13th the star citizen # jumped up to around 3000.

I'm open to reason on how that influx of cash came in when the citizen counter really didn't bump up much versus the funding levels and there were no sales.

How can they possibly get out of this? You can't suck $108m from people and just disappear, even if it is perfectly normal in Game Development.

I firmly believe that Chris Roberts is convinced that he can do exactly that. The only thing he gives a poo poo about is getting his A-List actor mocap travesty out before the cash dries up. He thinks that calling the fundraising "donations" and being able to prove that he tried to make a game will be enough to put him in the clear once he makes that final announcement. It's going to be absolutely fantastic when it doesn't pan out that way.

i completely agree, hence the "training" part. I see CQC as a step up from the basic PVE combat training you get in the tutorial.

Its not the same as getting interdicted and 2 shotted by a Vulture in your brand new eagle the moment you arrive in 63 G. Capricorni but its still closer to the real deal than what the "Sidewinder face off" simulation scenario offer.

I was thinking bring him on as Co-CEO. It'd be like a buddy cop movie except instead of trying to stop a drug cartel they are trying to make the best and most artistic video game ever.
