I heard that Roberts was told to run Star Marine away from an iceberg but due to incompetencerefactoring he thought he meant the other way. But we'll never know because he got sent to Hawaii :shrug:

It's more like the sinking of the Oceanic which the WSL had handed over to the Royal Navy in WW1, but it still had its civilian captain aboard, in addition to the Navy man. And the personnel were partially Navy, and partially the old passenger liner crew listening mostly to their old chief.
And then in the first military patrol they kept two clocks, one of which was real and the other was 40 minutes off, because the shifts were more convenient if they were 40 minutes off, and rewriting the schedule was harder than adjusting the clock.
Except no one was quite sure what time to put down in the log, or to use in dead reckoning.

Long story short: went 13 miles off course overnight, ended up stuck on the Shaalds of Foula, smashed to bits a few days after a full crew evacuation, wreck site declared undiveable for 60 years due to strong tidal currents. The captains (both) walked away from the trial unscathed.

Oh, and one of the crew members was a Titanic survivor.

Hmm… no. Frontier came out in October '93, and Horizons beta was in November '15. So neither the year nor the date seems to match with a “1 year anniversary”.

So Chris did an eye opening interview with a German magazine which I am having translated for a new blog I am going to be working on.

The shocking key takeaway is that

1) he has finally admitted that they don't have enough money to finish the game.

This after raising $140 million.

2) as my sources indicated and which I reported back in Oct, 3.0 didn't exist at the time when he was claiming it was coming before Dec 19th, 2016.

Why the gently caress would PR matter? You have all your development money up front. Why the gently caress do you have open development if you don't want to handle the negative side of it?

Open development; unless it is something bad.

Come in, look around! No peaking in the closet though. It has spoilers.

In general, sure, but there's also someone planning and making those videos, who either actively picks on future hypothetical stuff, or simply has no choice because there's nothing completed to show.

Game development is a constant learning process. Its not like riding a bike. Also people can just misspeak. He was playing a videogame at the same time and his brain thought "next patch" and 2.7 blurted out instead of the more complex 2.6.1.

"In the case of IllFonic and Star Marine, this 'winding down' and 'transitioning' has been in progress as IllFonic's part in FPS is coming to a close. And with the increased responsibilities for Star Marine development now sitting in Frankfurt and Manchester, we can assure our backers that they'll be able to play Star Marine in the very near future." -2015

Looking around the net I am learning more and more that nobody actually cares about Star Citizen. The most that is written about it must be this thread and the official forums that must just be filled with a few people discussing DREAMS.

Where do they even get the money from? Are these few remaining players really putting up tens of thousands a year individually? I am filled with a sad.
