In an interview today Chris said ships will cost a lot more at launch than people are getting them for now.

Did he really double down on that bullshit? Chris has never played an online game in his life.

No it's perfectly reasonable to expect a random fighter to be worth more than 5 capital ships in eve online.

Or a science ship to be worth more than 2 titans.

Nevermind that any game that is actually profitable like that with high priced assets is immediately swamped by chinese, brazilians and whoever else that obliterate the markets and there is no gameplay to even draw any conclusions on how much any of this could possibly be as 50 different factors that would price these ships haven't even been started yet and don't even exist as concepts.

Please stop comparing this shitshow to scientology. Scientoogy has money, lots and lots of it and over $1.5b in assets and have lawyers that make lawsuits take forever and/or get dismissed. Granted OSA isn't anything like it used to be and the amount of scientologists is shrinking more and more, but they are so much better at this than CIG will ever be. They aren't even in the same galaxy.

No, and don't make things creepy and weird we already went down that road a couple of times.

It was only "porn" in the sense that it was explicitly made and sold for people to get off over. It's also hysterically funny that it exists.

2.0 came? and what did 2.0 deliver actually? Like if you would hold the <insert random event>com slides next to 2.0 -2.4 what exactly has been delivered?

Honestly 2.4 is still a bare minimum of anything resembling a game. And i'm not even talking about the bugs. and these are the magic 'back end " systems they are inserting lol.
How can you believe they can deliver anything even remotely like what we saw on gamescom if you look at the PU right now?

They still have the same bugs they had over 2 years ago, and no fix in sight. We are all waiting on this grandiose net code patch.
Alpha doesn't mean your poo poo doesn't have to work at all.

They did not fix any underlaying infrastructure issue. The player limit is still around 20, no decent patching system, no profession, progression, economy or a second system you travel to. Its still a tech demo (or a huge Crysis PvP map with really nice noclip jeeps) with nothing to do beyond a few simple tasks and meaningless pvp.

What they did add is plenty of assets they can get money out of. Lots of ships, shops, cash penality if you want to respawn your ship quickly.

Its a rotting frame of a house with a leaky roof and fissured foundations, but it just got a fresh coat of paint and it smell like freshly baked cookies.

Also real nice furniture...

If you can get your hands on one, an Idris or Javelin would be ideal. When I get mine I'm going to invite goons onto the crew while discretely assigning the most menial tasks to the shitposters.

AP linked the interview earlier: "Honestly, the pricing of our bigger ships that we've been doing for the pledges is, like, much less than they would be in the real world for the size and the cabbilities the ship they get bigger."

"I could see something like the constellation costing, you know, significantly more in in-game credits than it does right now if you're pledging and stuff?"

🥄Mah spoon is too big!🍌
So I'm thinking about buying a luxury car and this real nice salesperson has one for me that he says is really good. He let me take it for a test drive but it was awful; there were doors missing, the roof was so low that I had to stick my head out the sunroof and there was a gap in the floor where I had to paddle my feet to make the car move Fred Flinstone style due to 'engine refactoring'. That being said he told me that the car isn't quite finished yet, and showed me a video of him driving what looked like a better version of the car. It looked okay; he was in the car and it was slowly trundling in a straight line down a hill without him having to use his feet. He said that he needs me to pay for it now before all of the modifications and fixes because otherwise it will cost more. I'm really glad he told me this now instead of letting me wait for it to be finished and then telling me the new price; that would have been a sales tactic.

Anyway, I was just wondering if I should get a personal loan for it, put it on my credit card, or lease it?

I'm a savvy investor.
