Lazrin don't be tempted to melt down your $750 polaris concept ship and pick up something in sale with the store credit. I've a feeling the polaris will be in the game real soon.

It could also be that you've built your immense ego on your conceited claims of Star Citizens demise, claiming to have foretold said by way of stealing GBS goon valor

I'm undecided, Lazrin which would you consider more likely

Lazrin is buying ships on sale literal theft or just incredibly ethically objectionable? I was thinking of sending CIG a mail offering to buy the "package" w/o ship for $12 you see

Easy explanation, Chris Roberts says one is the fastest in game and Sandi Gardiner says one is the fastest seller.



I'm the store page with items you're "Allowed" to buy with store credit and items you aren't.

Steep discounts! Buy now, cash only.

if the picture above still does not scream SCAM - we need moar money! please buy kinda move then I don't know what else those spergs need to witness

"Have we got a deal for you!"

No you haven't. $174 for a virtual spaceship in a game that doesn't even have an alpha version after five years is not in any sense of the word a "deal". However deal does rhyme with another word that describes this situation.

Just like the Aurora LX in 2013

The LX will be available in the finished game, but this will be your only chance to pledge for it through the site

Which they sold again another half a dozen times and will no doubt be selling again this month, not in this sale but the 2nd November sale.

I was watching a video of a guy testing some new fanless/pumpless/noiseless case released just last week.

And the software they ran to heat up the rig was "Crysis 3".

So this star engine is built on the shittiest game ever made that makes your PC heat up like nothing else?
And then they added even more vertices for your rig to handle?

This is gonna be good. (I really hope someone leaks the build after the lawsuits end)

My favourite set piece so far in IW is the one where Reyes and his crew have to keep quiet so the evil martians don't hear them walking around on their spaceship. You have to walk very slowly and tap X to hold your breath.

Mess hall is an army term.

Eating/recreational spaces onboard navy vessels are either "crew's mess" (enlisted) "goat locker" (senior enlisted, chief petty officers) or "wardroom" (officers).

The Star Citizen design mantra is "more pointy bits". You may think you've got a nice jpeg, but it's not CIG standard until you've covered it in superfluous pointy bits.

Could handwave this by saying the missiles are designed to be used in both vacuum and atmosphere. But then how would you sell people different missiles for real money? That is not the CIG way.

This sale makes me think they basically have enough money leftover for Sandi's big "marketing push" in Q1 2017 and that's about it. Then they're banking on that marketing push to bring in at least 4.5 million new customers. On the back of SQ42 Season 1 Episode 1 Pilot Episode. That seems to be their long-term business strategy right now.

This is sadly very true, however fortunately the requirements of immersion as laid down in law by Chris Roberts ensure that anyone who dies in Star Citizen takes at least 5 minutes to get out of their bunk, walk around a few boring corridors, summon their ship, walk to said ship via an exciting airlock sequence. Add on the foresight in picking an engine with long loading times at boot up and you have a universe that helps you skip ahead via chunks in fan streams.

You just need to hit one of these exciting entry to the best game ever points and then rewind to see what the terrible thing befell the Citizen in question for the reaction shot.

What exactly is Star Marine in the patch process? The next patch or 3.0?
Seems Roberts just trying to release Star Marine to create the suggestion that "delayed indefinittely" isnt canceled, but instead just means "terribly developed"

I went to Twitch and saw just 3 streamers for Star Citizen with 8, 4 and 2 viewers respectively. I watched one of them and the pilot model was morphing and distorting and filling the cockpit every 10 seconds or so.
