I am truly impressed that dozens (if not hundreds) of goons continued to play it straight for as long as they did.

Credit to Derek where it is due: that was some kind of incredible scale ultra-troll/April Fool's. You are King Goon now.

Now let's get back to the business of mercilessly making fun of CIG, Chris Roberts, Sandi Gardiner, et al.

Can we have "white box" and "grey box" (or whatever the gently caress they're called) as ship options? I will write lore for at least one of them if so.

Have one that's just a pointy grey shape. Call it the RSI Realistic Physics and make it spin furiously for no reason.

That's a fair question.

Derek has succeeding in muddying the waters regarding his claims to date, by successfully trolling the gently caress out of his most receptive audience.

But based on CIG incompetence to date, we can safely assume they'll never complete SC as promised.

The E.L.E. is a real event, but it is also an unnecessary one. CIG was already basically Nordberg from the Naked Gun, stumbling from one damaging incident into another. Their demise was just a matter of time - the so-called "E.L.E." is just gasoline on a flame at this point.

I believe it's a real thing, I have no ability to judge how significant it is obviously, he just can't seem to talk about it. We'll see if some big names do leave over the course of the next couple of months as that's also predicted. It took a full 6 months before Star Marine being cancelled turned out to be true and I doubt he expected it to take that long to get confirmation.
