I felt similarly discomforted watching both sides - for and against. This is a decent old chap who doesn't really need more of the modern 'NO FUK U' that is what passes for commenting nowadays.

I added a plugin to Chrome in 2012 that removes youtube comments. The world got a lot better than day.

Also, we don't have a lock on the 'against' side. We just happen to be the bat-eating, bass-thunderin', internet warlord backing public face of this thing.

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.

Ha, just catching up. So they banned the guy who opened the thread asking about the 2nd seat, and also closed a thread. This being after Ben was saying "I'll look into that".

And these idiots don't believe they're just white washing anything at this point?

Also it was on sale within the last two months with the original 2-seater specs listed

And Ben, ostensibly the guy in charge of overseeing these processes, doesn't know where the seat went

There are other changes to the ship design too but the case of Encyclopedia Lesnick and the Missing Passenger Seat is too hilarious not to harp on.

Less funny, but more CIG being a skummy company. The great part was Ben's response made him look like an absolute idiot (more so than usual) and apparently looking into the issue means banning the original poster and deleting all threads about it.

People are hosed off at 2 seat advertised ships only having 1 seat, CIG have predictably handled it like a shitsmearing mental asylum patient.

It's why this is a hilarious debacle instead of another footnote - the master of ships has to try to find out why this happened when multiple people spent weeks actually implementing the single seater design.
