Ah, Golden tickets, always reminds me of that film with Gene Wilder.

I'd imagine the CIG version is young man finds a golden ticket in a bowl of gruel, the description is about going to a factory where dreams are made and finding out it's a nightmarish nose first journey up CR's chocolate factory, fraught with dangers and Oompa Loompas who call themselves the 'Evocati'.

CR's theme.
Oompa loompa thumbety doo
I've got a perfect game for you
Oompa loompa thumbety dee
If you are wise you'll hand your wallet to me

What do you get when you guzzle down dreams
Dreaming as much as a paranoid schizophrenic dreams
Where is the patch, getting terribly fat (30gb)
What do you think will come of that
I don't like the look of it

Oompa loompa thumbety da
If you're not a greedy manager, you won't go far
You won't live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa thumbety do
thumbety do

Oompa loompa thumbety doo
I've got another game for you
Oompa loompa thumbeda dee
If you are wise you'll hand your wallet to me

Cash pledging's fine when you're a whale
It stops us from producing and keeps me out of jail
But it's hilarious, rivetting and strong
pledging and spending all day long
The way that a moron does

Oompa loompa thumbety da
Given your millions I will go far
I will live in happiness too
Unlike you... what ho! peasants!

No. From what was told to me, evocati were testing different builds. In a day, they send out multiple builds. Some are more focused on flight dynamics while others on FPS gameplay. The evocati have their own chat, discord, ptu forums, etc. They're all in one test group, but testing different things. The results are tabulated and they'll use those to streamline the builds so that the can get it out to PTU quicker.

Stop spitting out bullshit to save your rear end. All avocados run the same build and anyone can grab them. Even non-avocados have the client download urls in their patcher client and they aren't unique per-user.

I legit dont understand when the citizens talk about exploration and discovery of new star systems as a mechanic. To the point of buying a 1200 dollar exploration package. I thought all the systems were fleshed out and had all this lore? Whats to explore? Why can't I do this in a fighter? Is a derelict begal invisible to a fighter?

Would it surprise you if additional systems (as in, more than the one non-complete system you start out in) were behind a paywall?

As a one man operation you probably don't understand company development. When you have $140million and 370 employees--any one person is able to cripple the project for weeks. Every single employee is indispensable and irreplaceable. Well unless they become a dirty leaver and then it is natural turnover.

The only person crippling the project is the guy with two working hands that he waves around constantly to make funding appear.

You just don't understand great game design. It is going to take weeks, heck months--and based on CIG's track record years to discover a new system. There will be 100 systems in the shipped game--intrepid explorers will need to discover 99 of them... Be careful exploring--you might find the vanduul system! I'd imagine the discovery process would be something along the lines of: Start exploring--they are out there!! Nineteen months later a 100GB download for a patch. Few hours later--"New System Discovered!!" Just 98 left to find!

You're going tooooo fast on Derek's Delusional Train. Better slow it down a bit.

You need to chill out and think before posting, man. In companies, not all employees contribute the same to the company. Not all 300+ Cigizens (and we only have them to trust on that staffing size) are magic interchangeable cogs. So, yeah, if I saw the RIGHT one person leaving, I might indeed be concerned.

Take a nice long deep breath before you post next time. I mean seriously, between the reductio ad absurdum and some of the ad hominems lately, you are sounds like some of those Redditors and Twatters I have been duking it out with. You are better than that, man. Have a nice steak, a glass of wine, and call the fam, okay?
