Is that CIG art? Looks suspiciously like Warframe stuff.

Yeah, they got inspired by warframe and WH40K's Tau for the armor of the honorable japanese bird people.

But the game is never coming out so who cares about archer stuff

**As far as the SQ42 side of things, that whole side of the website is the epitome of visual flash over usefulness. I click "SQ42" (because I am prescient and already knew it was the single payer campaign).... and the first "information" I see is a bio of a fictional character that Gary Oldman is portraying? Seriously?! Its nice that you got real tallent, but it is literally the LAST thing I need to know after I click SQ42. The whole thing plays out like a slide show with useless information, but fancy visuals. When you have more information included as the bio of ONE character, then you have as the DESCRIPTION of the game itself! You have you realize you are doing something wrong. The description is also terrible. You don't even mention how many missions there will be, and barely give any context to the game at all.... and this tiny nectar of information is only obtained after scrolling through FIVE pages. Then you are rewarded by trying to click on "Answer the call 2017"... when nothing happens you finally look down and see a button that is the same highlight color AS THE BACKGROUND AROUND IT. I wish I was making this up. Nothing about that button reads as a button. Then I am brought to the store, and for some absurd reason there is a $275 ship that I CANT EVEN USE IN THE SINGLE PLAYER GAME for sale as a "related product". Why on earth are you confusing people with this. I clicked to "buy SQ42" but now you are trying to sell me a ship that you don't even tell me I can't use in the game I would be buying. Just remove the "related" prodcuts or only include those that are actually.... related. The best part of this, is that is says "game packages".... a new person is going to all of a sudden start being confused and worried when they see these "game packages" for the SAME price but include a ship... now the confused new person is hoping around, and getting lost in the depths of the terribly organized MASSIVE store.... then they come to reddit and make a post. Where we explain that no you should not buy SQ42 like that, you will not get access to the currently available game despite there being very confusing wording included on the SQ42 package (the bit about the game being in Alpha... well maybe SQ42 is in Alpha for CIG, but its certainly not playable by anyone else). Also the biggest images are of "a guy making an important speech" and some sort of broken rubble. I have zero context to understand why this matters, and little way to figure it out! ...wasn't this game about flying space ships?

Holy poo poo.

I just had a great idea for a new Kickstarter.

"Derek will write bad things about your project." Kickstarter. If we get enough money, we can pay Derek to write about YOUR project and how it's going to fail. Be sure that you have a "Donate Button!" On your page to capitalize on this investment.

Imagine all the money we're sitting on here guys. Forget Scam Citizen, we literally have our very own in house funding system.

Anything Derek hates will get $$$ from people who hate Derek for being Derek. It's time to print money, guys! See you off the coast of Italy! Gonna crash my yacht into Chris Roberts yacht and we'll have a good laugh over drinks as we slowly sink to the bottom of the ocean. :cheers:

i feel sorry for him in that he seems to be incapable of changing and unwilling to do so; but whatever disillusionment he feels regarding working for his hero is overshadowed for me by his enormous girth conspiring with his hero to get rich off the mentally unwell

You don't even need a pyramid for some of these guys, just a circle to represent the hole they're throwing their money into. But sure you're only giving 25 bucks there's nothing wrong with encouraging scams artists.

Just lol if you think Ben is getting rich from this, he is and always will be the fall guy when things go bad quickly.

Remember he scammed 10k from nerds for wing commander trash, and he's not even smart enough to actually take the money and run, he bought the literal garbage with it instead

To his credit he didn't scam his backers, though it would have been a better investment for them if he had. lol

I think the cirumstance that Star Citizen is beeing developed for PC only keeps and kept ED alive all over. FD knew that they couldnt stand a chance against SC so they started to create content suitable more and more for xbox and console players. Somewhere in the late alpha phase of ED they have must come to that conclusion and you can see that with the Powerplay update (everyone was surprised about that update because we were all focused on the BGS we had). They have maybe stoped the further developement of the original Back Ground Simulation to a less complex Powerplay Simulation fitting more to console players. And the fact that SC would induce a world wide Space Simulation hype (but only for PC) FD used ED as a alternative SC for console players. So overall i think any further major updates will get more and more console like.

lol these guys.

Nothing scares the developers of a game that's been out for over three years more than the threat that Star Citizen may eventually come out five years from now.

The last few people downloading Elite: Dangerous from GoG for $3.75 will suddenly be onslaughts by roving bands of Citizens.

"How do you like that sub par game, huh?"

"Frontier gave up on you guys four years ago, Roberts never stopped loving us."

"Bet you wish EDerek had FPS combat action."

Meanwhile the rest of the world will definitely be rapt with wonder at how SC will compare against a 8-9 year old game.

It boggles me how there is any sort of competition at all between them. Is there huge anger between the guys who like X and who like E:D? I'm not all up in space game central so maybe this "one game to rule them all" is normal and you're not allowed to play and enjoy two or more space games?
