Hi everyone, hope youre having a fabulous day hating the videogame and the people who play it. This is just a quick reminder for you to call or visit your parents wherever possible because they raised you with love and care about you

Buying a guitar on the off-chance it will get you laid is by far a safer bet than handing your money to Roberts & Co and hoping they actually manage to make a game.

Actually you got your probabilities wrong.
With a guitar there is a chance you might get to lie with a woman.
SC, on the other hand, is a guaranteed lie.

Also, a game like Rocket League but with spaceships. It would open up a whole new type of ship for them to sell!

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.

That is why you need to talk to me. I am 100% human meatbag and I lovingly hand craft each shitpost for the thread with the finest shitpostery available to non-silicon intelligences.

So for all you guys and girls who bought this, even if you later refunded it...

Is this what you were envisioning? Like outside of the cost of the ship and it was just free with the game that might come out. Is this the vision you saw and what you hoped it would be?

I personally think it looks a bit silly, but I think this was supposed to be the "space train" everybody was sperging over back in the day? If so I think it looks very train-y.

I had this ship and refunded it a while ago after we figured out this game prob wasn't going to be a thing. Its about what I was expecting. A space train with lots of Storage to move sex bots to SC bunny mans pleasure emporium space parts to other systems. Its looks pretty close (better) than the original concept.



Edit: I did like the massive gun in the concept though

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain betting on racing, sata ball and SM matches will indeed be in the game.

I can imagine some of the various staff exits have been a result of programmers being told to make stuff like this happen and just telling Chris to go gently caress himself.

Remember that the only 2 things Chris has said "No" to in regards to Star Citizen are cow bacon and the ability to be pulled into and crushed to death in the loading mechanism of a missile launcher as it loads a fully rendered high polygon missile.

This looks a lot like suffering.
Just imagine that one day there might be a Star Citizen museum with choice framed GIF's and JPEGs and terminals where people can browse these threads.

What other sorts of displays would be good for this museum?

Here are some ideas:
-Life size replica of pallets of $100 bills showing how much money was spent on the game
-Wax statues of some of the Key players in classic poses (Ben on the Couch, Chris at the computer playing)
-Derek's original blog post, The fourth stimpire text, and Chris's reply to the escapists all printed on parchment papers in climate controlled cases like where they keep the declaration of independence
-Bathrooms will be designed to be like on the ships
-A coin operated golf cart ride

Man I really wanted one of those things back in the day. It was one of their first concepts that looked like an actual cool future spaceship, and those big gunsparking sensors on the front looked cool. But After the Retaliator came out I figured it was probably a bad idea to buy anything based on a concept ever again, and then shortly after that I figured out it was a bad idea to buy anything from CIG ever again.

I still remember all the threads on reddit and the main forums speculating about what the big stabby things on the front did and what exactly CIG meant when they said that it would have two "dummy" engines because holy poo poo that is a dumb idea haha. This time it at least looks like they managed to get it pretty close to the concept, so I'll grant them that.

It's not. They sold a package which consisted of a Caterpillar and two space motorcycles. It represented a significant shift since it was the first time they acknowledged the idea of a pocket carrier.

It's like CRobbers finished watching Ender's Game, snorted a line and made the developers push the entire schedule to put sataball as priority #1, then did another line before passing out/burying his head into a mountain of coke on his desk and forgot about sataball when he woke up.
