"JURASSIC PARK!"

Isn't this the ship they had a design contest for like a week ago?

Considering their normal work rate they sure seem to have a bunch of blueprints and shiny renders done in that time. So did they fudge the contest by just picking a design which matched what they already had or has it been all hands on deck to get a space bike in game for sale?

They have absolutely gently caress all and are desperately scrabbling around trying to fudge together a revised morrow tour with less lovely models and movement.

PSA: The Caterpillar Combo Pack has no star citizen digital download. (new comers beware)

lol if you wanted access to an actual game after spending $70 on twin space motorcycles.

lol just lol.

At this point, I have to assume they're admitting that anyone buying stuff for the game already actually owns it. I don't know what a Caterpillar is, but it doesn't sound like one of the really inspiring ones that'll get people to buy in from outside. I mean, even Elite's near- endless parade of identical wedges at least have evocative names.

You have that wrong commando, it was not a design contest, it was a 'want do you think it will be like' contest.

Wouldn't it be easier to just have someone from CIG submit a design while pretending they were just a citizen? Or did other citizens vote on which design won? Because if the final decision rested with CIG then lol they totally fudged it.

Also, despite what MoMA said several times, HBS's new Battletech game isn't an RTS. It's turn-based squad battles, like Battletech has always been. It says so at the very top of the Kickstarter.

It seems like you can upgrade the LTI jetbike immediately to any other ship currently on sale. Used to be they'd say wait till it's flyable. So basically LTI is back on sale for pretty much everything + caterpillar, the scythe, javelin, 890 jump, idris etc excluded, the other "semi limited" stuff like the other vanduul they'll make upgrades available next time they sell them.



This should be their best sale for ages because of the LTI upgrades + $35 price.

That's a very unfair characterisation. They blew it on virtual insurance for digital space ships they've previously bought jpegs of. Huge difference.

Other colors will be limited. Like 250 of "incredibly non-red red" only.

What? They do that poo poo with (very expensive) cars IRL, and Chris has some knowledge regarding used cars....

We will all be staring in awe when one of those 250 off-shitbrown jetbikes speeds off into the sundown, and we are all like "drat, how I would love to ride that color in my virtual space sim game..."

You wouldn't say that all of the polls, whining, and wishing on the forums and reddit (etc) contributed to scope creep?

It's the job of the project team (whether it be manager/producer/director - whatever the name) to build and maintain a clear, realistic, achievable project scope... to guide the project development.

If all it takes is for Person on the Stream to ask, "Will there be hidden, rare loot on undiscovered worlds for us to collect?", and have someone with authority immediately say, "Absolutely we'll have that!", then there isn't effective control and oversight of scope.

And that's how you steer a project onto the rocks.
