Ever read the L. Ron Hubbard biography "Bare-Faced Messiah"?

The dude was a hack pulp scifi writer, who repeatedly conned his way into things (literary salons, the Explorers Club, government contracts) through force of personality and talking a good game. Then he would more-or-less completely fail to deliver on his promises, flail about while milking the situation for what it was forth, and finally have to move on to pitch new promises to a new group. Until one day he had his only true genius idea: founding a pay-for-play religion based on selling acceptance to emotionally vulnerable people.

I can't really put my finger on why, but I think its basic structure might be a good place to ~~Archer~~start.

Probably, but backer money being funneled to get C&S up the OT ladder and Hollywood connections through Scientology really is the only thing missing in this farce.

No, I used some of the store credit I had obtained by laundering $28,000 worth of starships for other people to obtain a $300 JPEG based on a gameplay scenario that only existed in my imagination.

Turns out that I was right about the scenario, since they sell snub fighters for the Caterpillar.

I know there's no point to this, cos I'm basically replying to a poo poo AI, but: I don't hate Star Citizen or the people who play it. I love Star Citizen, it's the best videogame I've never paid for. I feel pity for the people who play Star Citizen, because there are so many better games (almost every game ever) that they could be playing instead of the broken, buggy tech demo they've convinced themselves is the best game ever.

Scruffpuff: Dec 23, 2015; Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?

ripptide posted:

Of course, now that the design criteria for all large ships is based entirely on making them FPS levels rather than any functional or potentially interesting layout, far less so.

This is an interesting point - yet another in the seemingly infinite series of logistical hurdles that makes Star Citizen unworkable even on paper, before a single line of code is written. Is it a game, or a simulation? If it's supposed to be a highly detailed and realistic space flight sim, then the ship layouts will be utilitarian - they'll be designed the way that makes the most sense from the perspective of the ship's purpose in the universe - which might make the most boring, lovely FPS experience if the ship is "boarded". If it's supposed to be a game, then for the most fun experience it might make more sense to design a really cool and interesting map for the ship interior so that FPS is more enjoyable, but that means immersion-breaking design that makes no sense whatsoever and has no place in a high-fidelity simulator based on Chris Roberts deep and nuanced understanding of how cool something he saw in a movie someone else created was.

They could just do what they did with you and change reasons every five minutes because of baffling incompetency. I mean it's technically not punishing someone for leaving a negative review, it's punishing them for AIDING AND ABETTING INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE.

Sorry but roast dinners are the only respectable thing to eat on a Sunday. Steak is for Friday or Saturday. You need to refactor your Sunday basically.
