Although I'm not gonna get to hooking up the sound engine for Solar Plebeian until next week (just for basic ship sfx), I've been thinking a huge source of comedy could be the ship's computer voice. Here's a quick idea dump of some stuff the computer could say.

Please feel free to contribute your ideas.

If multiple ships are in, they should definitely each have a different cockpit voice command set, like the different manufacturers in Star Citizen. One could be stimperial ("Thrusters, on line. Nav System, on line. De-genitalizer, On line. Worst type of electricity enabled. Have a pleasant flight, citizen."), the PAARPrammer should be entirely air horn PAARPS subtitled as actual lines, and there could be one entirely cobbled together Operation: Flashpoint style from various D_Smart voice clips

Any time the D_Smart voice is speaking, there's a visible prompt to skip the dialogue. Pressing the indicated key will just play LET ME loving FINISH and then resume the line

Somehow you need to work "dinks", "chargeback", and "refund" into the computer text. It just doesn't feel right without them.

Thanks indeed, been watching and reading you good sirs for a few months now. I´m around $300 in and painfully aware my "investment" will probably not pan out at all as expected. I am also fighting the good fight in other non-English speaking SC forum communities but the level of cultism in those is several grades higher than what you see at CIG or reddit, I tell you. I already count a few bans under my belt, but I am trying to learn from the glorious Mr Crobblers and pgabz. You my heroes.

Go for a refund if you're from Europe. The 14 days return guarantee for online bought poo poo counts from the time of delivery. And if you bought a S42 package (if you pay money in a store it's a purchase not a pledge), then they haven't done that yet. But they are hurrying to get there.
If you need help with the email to CIG, we're here to help. Or to ruin everything*.

You know I was thinking about this second seat debacle and it might not have been a gently caress up by Ben. I mean, we are all agreed that this "disappeared" story is a load of poo poo, right? What happened is that CIG has finally realized they have a mountain of work to do and not enough money to do it at current rates so they are simplifying everything. Now the question is, did Ben came up with this PR nightmare of a story all on is own? Did he just come up with it on the spot without considering the implications or was he ordered by Chris to fall on his sword and make the whole thing look like a mistake that "will be fixed later"?

I want to see that huge cargo hauler they scaled to make different "variants".
I mean, I want to see people get into the seat and suddenly watch their character become twice (or half) as large.

If they can't even finish a small ship without losing a seat how the gently caress are they going to cope with building those enormous cargo haulers and capitals they've sold?

And what about the whole Command & Control module thingie for capital ships? At one point Croberts was promising RTS-style command of a fleet from an idris or bigger. I haven't heard anybody even ask about that poo poo in ages.

The command and control module will be a clone of Missile Command, the bonus feature will be that it has a 1:5 chance of causing your ships computer to CTD.

*not a promised feature

Half of my "investment" is locked under an LTI returned gift by another player, actually a top head cultist and prima donna fanboy from one of the non-English communities I frequent.

This top head cultist has been the funnel for many such deals around the end of 2014 when the LTI deals where ending attracting an incredible amount of players to the game that way, I have been tempted to play the charge back card so to have him suffering the consequences a little bit by having CIG contacting him for the damages after an eventual successful chargeback , but that would automatically put a target to my name in that community, and wold prefer to maintain my online persona over there a bit more.

He also translates each and every damned AtV, RtV, Monthly Report and public event CIG does and then slaps his fanboist ideas on it. The community is only fed that garbage, day after day, as very few of them really go to the source and there are only a few critic voices raising, which are promptly hammered down to oblivion. It is a shame this top head cultist writes in another language. Otherwise he would be Mitrificus material for epic quotes all day long. Him and I have had many arguments over all kinds of issues re SC and I am really looking forward to the day SC is undone to see his reaction.

Lol last chance before it's hangar ready. Anyways, June 2014 to Feb 25th 2016 (including a sale that ended just 3 weeks ago and a previous one in December) the ship had two seats.

Wew. The Video already showed the ship with only one seat. Did they still advertise it having 2? Wew.

What's the value spent on the account? Minus physical items you have received (poor quality mouse mats, t-shirts etc).
What's the total melt value of ships/packages on the account?
Which country are you in?
When was the first purchase?

If the melt value > value spent, then sell giftable items to bring melt value < value spent. Then if in the EU get a full refund on the rest, they'll close your account, you may need to send them a letter before action via registered letter before they will agree (exactly how you go about this depends on the small claims process in your area). You can also do chargeback but then EU law isn't deciding outcome, your bank/credit card has their own procedure which is different.

All the stuff about not refunding gifted items is false, as long as your melt value is less than the amount you spent, you can get the full melt value back as it's credit for part of a purchase that has not as yet been delivered. You'll lose most of your rights to a refund 14 days after they push SQ42 out the door, so although following the small claims process may seem annoying/difficult, it's far better to do it now before the real rush starts.
