"When is ATV going up?"
"I am here to tell you that because the Reddit Summoning Thread was started extremely early at 10:30am PST, ATV has been delayed by as much as 12 parsecs."

More rendering delays, I would guess that's the excuse. Lando doesn't give a poo poo, and I don't really blame him. I wouldn't either.

"The reality is that we're still making edits. After that, Chris has to approve the final cut, the show has to be exported, then uploaded to YT where it will undergo processing. It will still be a couple hours if not more. If you are waiting up for ATV, the standard refrain applies: "Go to sleep, it will be here in the morning.""

I have to say, between how they handle delays, closing down the forum, open development communication and the tact from the community managers responding on when to expect things they get a A++ rating.

This clown car of a company makes United Airlines look competent.

You literally might have gotten that video because the airforce video only has less than 50 views, and that numbers video is something I've watched before, so they got mixed together by Youtube's algorithm.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a big complaint was mobile support in Spectrum. So they disabled the functionality for the time being.

There are a lot of people in that thread with a lot of money in SC, and some are asking about refunds. Someone even mentioned the subreddit! Could we be nearing the end of this drama?

I dunno, I really don't know with this one. On one hand the backers forget easily but on the other this is a massive change for the most vocal posters to take and they may run and run with it.
I think this could be one of the things we look back on and say 'that was a turning point'

There are so many things associated with this project that the catalyst to bring it down could very much be something not entirely associated with the game (or lack thereof).

It's been a month since I checked in, looks like CIG is corralling the cultists into a new forum and deleting the old one?

How long until the game is released and/or Chris and Sandi start passing out the kool aid?

Has CIG done anything else lately, or finished the game?

The calm and collected masses have hyped themselves up that there will be a ton of 3.0 schedule revelations in this AtV. Funny thing is they basically said what was going to be in the drat thing days ago yet crobbling a 30 minute video is somehow an insurmountable task.

Is the end near with this debacle? Nah...but they are definitely boxing themselves further into a corner as each week goes by with their ineptitude and asinine decisions.

Don't forget the rumor that there are employees and friends of CIG that are buying ships with absurd discounts to flip them on the grey market. If this is true, then CIG is double dicking their own customers by 1, overinflating their own funding numbers and 2, flooding the secondary market with cheap ships.

I suppose they could, but honestly, since they brought LTI back, brought in CCUs and fixed the Euro exchange rate gimmick, prices have dropped so much that it wouldn't be very logical for them to be selling in there anymore. If they were flooding the market they'd make just as much by dropping the price and selling from their site. About the only things still getting any "value" are the very few limiteds they actually have not put back on the block, like the 890J.


But since it makes no sense at all to be doing it, you're almost assuredly correct that they are.

The last time they sold the hornet as new cash only for less than original prices the whales were ready to riot.

The base is so toxic that the company can't attract new people without risking revolt from people with $10k or more "invested" feeling like they are not special and smart for buying thousands of dollars in jpegs early on.

Hey backers, we used a shitload of funds to get the forums that served you well at the start of this fiasco. But hey, we dumped a bunch more of your backer funds into something called Spectrum and wrote off the cost of the obsolete forums.

Well, they are releasing a 3.0 production schedule tomorrow, according to Sandi in the latest AtV. At least there'll be a bit of excitement for once now that they will be publicly committing themselves to something.

I'm looking at Spectrum's connection suite using DevTools. The calls seem suspiciously close to Discords. Is there an opensource thing for this?
