With the ominous nature and disposition of an approaching storm front, Dr Smart returned to his dread fortress from his epic quest to the land of Tos, green bathrobe flapping in the wind and an expression of barely concealed fury writ large upon his face.

His eye flicked to the skies as he beheld his stronghold; overhead, a wheeling flock of bat-lawyers circled, screeching and battling amongst each other as they craved employment. "Soon, my children. Soon. Two weeks and we have him. I bear information that will shatter the very foundations of the Cloud Empire! Soon the Faithless Four will come crawling to me, begging for my mercy!" Regrettably(?) his ranting was cut short; a ravening pack of goons were also present outside of his fortress, alternating between mocking the Empire and mocking his Smartness. "Tell us something we don't know!" "Let me guess, two weeks to nothing?!" and so forth. They remained useful however, and he settled merely for pressing a button on his Smartwatch and pointing at the loudest poo poo-talker. There was a horrible, ghastly flare of light as his dread fortress unleashed a torrent of teal energy from the meticulously carved eyes, flaying the reprobate where he stood in a demonstration of his power.

Cackling as he strode into the vast citadel that bore form of his own divine countenance, he uttered judgement "You may have your skin back when the Cloud Empire falls and no sooner!"

"...So, two weeks?"

"Bah!" Fortunately for Dr. Smart, the portcullis slammed down and shielded him from further distractions for the moment. He strode down puce corridors, up cyan lifts and through orange rooms, all monochromatic paeans to his glory. Finally, he entered the Transmission Chamber, a vast Moria-like room with the roof held up not by pillars but by idealised Greek sculptures of himself. Before him lay the brobdingnagian Smartscreen that was his preferred method of making announcements to the world. Throwing the switch mounted next to it set sheets of electricity arcing across from the Jacobs' Ladders he'd had installed for the ambience, while far below, titanic pistons churned to life as turbines spooled up, all to open a portal to the very heart of the blogosphere itself. Some may have regarded the term 'Internet Warlord' as some childish exaggeration, but not Dr. Smart.

Before he passed through the portal, he had to give a speech, however. With a simple Ctrl-Alt-Q-F-F12, he opened the audio receptors and set it to broadcast "Roberts! Nemesis!" he roared, he mighty bellow echoing through the transmission chamber. (Outside, some of the swarm of lawyerbats were instantly reduced to their constituent atoms by a solid wall of sound emitting from the external speakers) "I have let slip the secrets of Tos to those who would listen! They know what you did there, and the wise cringe! I know too, that you fear the Warders of Infinity and what they will do to your precious Empire! Every day, your empire falls further into ruin, Roberts! When it is over, when not one imaginary brick stands atop another and your cultists have deserted you, you will know this! I. Was. RIGHT! And you will have nothing for ignoring me! NOTHING! And you deserve it!"

With a maniacal laugh, he stepped through the mirrored Smartscreen and into the depths of the blogosphere. Here he would do battle with cultists, minions and all those who stood against him while he sought out the fabled Letters of E3. All the artefacts that could bring down the Empire would be his, oh yes.

People are talking about buying 5-10 of them because they are "LTI Tokens?" what does that mean exactly?

Then people go into dozens of posts talking about how amazing this thing will be, how it will interact with other ships that don't even exist beyond a concept, how there will be motorcycle gangs of them with mechanics they literally invented on the spot.

I really didn't think there was that much child like enthusiasm/delusion for the project left. Anything past the Vanguard isn't going to even be in the full release (2017? 2018?) so your dumbass space motorcycle might be flyable in 2018-2020 depending on how optimistic you are, or never depending on how realistic you are.

Also if it's some kind of cheap utility token for other autism chariots it will probably be a huge sale. CIG are no longer selling the swords and armor in a Korean F2P, they are getting into the more lucrative "Consumables" market where people buy chances at upgrades, special potions, EXP boosts or ammo or something like that.

The idea of a space motorcycle does have some limited merit for things like racing, boarding, better EVA etc etc.

This thing does not look that good, even as a concept though. It reminds me of a bad tractor.

Guys do I buy the $15 space brush hog? My space farm doesn't have any space limbs but what if it does in the future?

I think to be safe I'll just buy the $75 accessory pack where I get the Brush Hog/ Mower Deck / Bucket / Backhoe / Snowplow attachments. Wait do I need the $75 Drake that has a power take off unit on it for the Brush Hog?

I know I need to get the unobtanium blades for the mower deck for $5 but
