Kind of makes sense why the hobo has been so quiet tho. The firestorm of not releasing 2.6 or releasing a garbage 2.6 but selling more ships would be seen from space.


Hope they release it )

considering that their fans will lap up whatever poo poo dribbles out of that godawful patcher, 2.6 must be frighteningly awful

It is a little out of character for even the hobo , has he posted his update yet ?


They're either super screwed and afraid to hint at anything. Or they thihk they have another big reveal (hint it's another ship sale ad) and that the Citizens will thank them breathlessly for keeping it under wraps

Derek has tweeted something of substance: Egosoft are working on X4, and appear to have learnt lessons from Rebirth.

Ego are gonna release two space games before Clown imperium manages one.

at my work we've seriously spent the last fortnight trying to finish poo poo and make sure there's enough hands on deck to do this. christmas sucks for productivity but it's so so easy to anticipate and you see it coming a mile away. unless you're cig in which case you have the worst soothsayers of all time leading you forwards

The only way I can see CIG getting a "win" here is if they release 2.6 to live (only moderately poo poo) and showing a fancy fixed sq42 demo.

Theyd have to skip the usual phased ptu release which would cause everyone in the ptu to have a hissy fi since they pay for that priviledge. It also means that have more than usual numbers of people rushing in at once to try the brand new flavor of the shitpile, which is a recipe for disaster when it comes to their shoestring servers.

That's coming from a rational viewpoint though.

Really all they would have to do is poo poo out the embarrassingly broken 2000s era Star Marine and then show a 30-45 second Squadron 42 trailer and make $5,000,000 as backers feel validated. They just need enough to be able to say 2.6 is real (and therefore progress means the dream is real) and get another promise in the form of the trailer.

If they can't even cross that bar then lol.

2.6 doesn't have to be good to come out. The backers clearly don't care about quality, they care about seeing a number go up.

I was looking for that schedule of theirs and couldn't find it, but instead I found something better. Remember that picture of CR in a space suit that used to be on that page? I didn't realize they were so lazy in replacing it that they didn't even bother to change the flesh tone around his neck. I guess it really does model the game.

If his gimmick is pulling a Lucy on this thread forever then that's pretty funny I guess but that's dependant on other people being upset to deliver.

Glad you enjoy my saucy side! I keep it deep as the ocean.
