Yeah especially the last page. And if what they are saying is true, that cig said the demo was a vert slice, and then came back and said work stopped because the demo wasnt relevant to the game..

I think the type of desperation you see in criminals about to be pinched is going to start popping up. I doubt this specific slight of hand is going to catch up to them, but i think this project just became fraud.

Oh, this may be one of the saddest things I've ever seen. I hope it's a jape.

Finding out your spouse spent thousands of important savings on some space ship pictures is as much grounds for divorce as "irrevocable differences".

So they mail you something when you buy a big ship now?

Is this so they can say you genuinely spent $1000 on jpegs that you've actually received so you can't have a refund?

  3. they will play 2.6 Star Marine on local LAN because doing it across the internet - the environment it was designed for - is shite it was 8v8 (the max before CE3 falls over) over the Internet. so much for 12v12

"With Star Marine being a total success on the PTU with 2.6, and the release of the Caterpillar and other ships that are being offered in the holiday sale i cant begin to explain my jubilant mindset. CIG has delivered once again. CIG thank you for doing the crunch and getting this out playable!

For anyone who doesn't know all subscribers got access to 2.6. If you haven't already i would pay the minor $10.00 fee and subscribe and get in star marine. It's flawless. The craftsmanship and polish that CIG have displayed in 2.6 and star marine is amazing. The flight controllers now feel enjoyable, and you can really see where this game is going! This patch alone should bring in a huge revenue for CIG. I know for me, after playing Star Marine and Arena Commander with 2.6 flight model, i immediately went out and bought a few new ships!
I am now the proud owner of a Caterpillar and Misc Razer.

CIG, I have one wish.

Please start selling concept sales for Star Marine, and other FPS gear."

Odd that they compare the game to Minecraft. A game which has a low purchase price, low priced cosmetic DLS, easy mod-ability, and is accessible (opposite of SC) . Minecraft took a long time to develop as well, but it also happened to make billions, exactly what RSI/CIG is shooting for. Also, Minecraft possesses a level of ingenuity, creativity and vision that Roberts sorely lacks. Minecraft seems the worst possible comparison to make in an argument about SC because it accomplishes so much of what SC (Or the crobbler) can't.

Chris Roberts, CEO of Cloud Imperium Games, literally called the website for his games, Star Citizen and SQ42, robertsspaceindustries.com. Hes a giant tool.

RSI= Roberts Space Industries. And its like the Mary Sue of spaceship companies where they have all the cool poo poo.

MISC stands for Musashi Industrial Starship Concern, or something else like that because gently caress this stupid lore. It's not a placeholder.

I hope you all realize how insane this is.
