Someone who's not already banned for a decade needs to point out to that prick that assuming a soccermoms space career should be shop assistant is really offensive and sexist.

He may be shocked to realize many soccer moms are also highly successful women with careers that actually go places.

They take their kids to soccer in Cadillac Escalades and Chevy Suburbans.

Trying to convince them that women are successful and those that play games also want to be entertained and not play a game as a bottom feeder because they can't keep up, may cause the average Star Citizen's perspective on life to break. :black101:

Also, soccer is very expensive, especially travel soccer. But this also results in the female human spending her money on the welfare, hopes and dreams of her children, as opposed to skipping Christmas this year because Chris Roberts unveiled a new Fuckship 5000 that may be better than the last concept sale.

Sorry for derail. :blush:

You should have backed Transverse!

As someone that doesn't understand game development, the creativity of others boggles the mind. What a genius idea--those filthy casuals--all the women--give them sandwich shops in the game. This will go over brilliantly...

I also scratch my head at the common assumption that casual soccer moms would have any interest in getting SLI:ed 1080 gaming PCs, much less get into a space shooter game that requires such a machine to even run properly…

The good news is if they want it they can afford it.

The bad news is that it's not worth it, and definitely not worth it for a game that looks worse than what a PS4 or Xbox One can do.

But then you also need to realize that they're probably good with money and responsible. Two traits the average Star Citizen appear to lack in spades.

Real life ruins everything. No wonder the citizens want to withdraw to their space dream. :(

I've said it many times before, but I find it comical that anyone thinks that Star Citizen has any level of realism to it. I mean, I've read tons of space-warfare theory, and the one thing that everyone agrees on is that "dogfighting" is something that would never practically work outside atmosphere.

The most interesting idea I've ever read for the use of fighter sized ship combat is them being used to essentially escort large ship to ship ordinance, and counter any ships sent to intercept the ordinance. But even that is pretty much unrealistic.

Plain reality is ship to ship combat would be slow, tactical, and a lot of lobbing stuff at where you think the target will be in the distance to target timeframe, while calculating where you think the enemy ship will think you will be.

Check out Scott Manley's review of "Children Of A Dead Earth". It's made exactly built around those theories found on Atomic Rockets and comes off as slow, tactical, and tossing out The smallest manned craft looks to be "laser skiffs" at 20 crew members, everything is covered in Whipple shields save the radiators (making them super-vulnerable) and the intercept time in the tutorial is apparently about 5 hours (which is elapsed) with actual combat time being something like 2-3 minutes. In the second mission, he deploys a poo poo load of drones that are marginally effective because they're sent on an intercept orbit that ends up shooting them off into space once the flyby the enemy ship because the drones lack the delta-V budget for another pass.

A life sim. Every day I wake up, run at the wall until I pass through it, space walk in my underwear, use my nipple jets to move around, climb into my upside down spaceship through a ladder pointed at the sky, sit down inside and my rear end and feet hang out in space, and fly to a shop to buy non existent baseball caps with non existent money (soon: real money).

I also like to strike a t-pose when the mood takes me. Or when God instructs me to. My arms sometimes twist into resident evil style tentacles.
