Elite: Dangerous has about 1M owners on Steam according to SteamSpy and has averaged about 4000 concurrent players over the past 30 days according to SteamCharts.

Star Citizen has roughly 2M accounts according to the tracker and has averaged a total of about 60 concurrent players in the EA modules over the past few weeks according to analysis of the leaderboards. There are no metrics on PU usage but I think a reasonable ballpark figure is 10x the usage of the EA modules, so a total of about 600-700 average concurrent players over all game modes. Either the average Star Citizen backer cares a lot less for their game than the typical Elite: Dangerous player does for theirs, or the citizen count is vastly overinflated by multiple accounts and non-paying accounts, or some combination of the two is at work here.

I believe in the 500k+ reports. However, it's easier to play tbe game in your dreams than logging in and facing the harsh reality.

Delta patcher was one of the two things CR said would absolutely be released in 2016.

The other was Spectrum.

One of these was up to CIG to develop. The other was not.

Differences between this and Chris studios:

It has windows- Horrible decision, you dont need to remind people the outside world exists.
Everyone consolidated into one studio- Horrible, its far more efficient to have 4 different studios in 4 different time zones because work never ends. Who cares if we spent a year trying to work out a proper schedule to get things done?
Functional desks- Bad, what a developer needs is quality restored airplane wings to work out off.

Really it should have just been pictures of where the motion capture studio will be set up. Then the movie making studio. Probably followed up with some custom wall size paintings and giant metal logos of their in game companies.

Remember that time you pretended to be a rational backer and said you'd be really worried if they'd not released 3.0 in the first half of 2017?

I guess you've learnt your lesson. Finally realised it's too embarrassing to just gloss over their constant failure so you've set your expectations to releasing literally nothing over an infinite span of time.

Now I guess you just have to cross your fingers and hope that they don't disappoint you on that, too.

He's not a backer.

He'll never learn a lesson because he's not the one being schooled, it's the opposite here. He'll also have no amount of embarrassment, disappointment or anything similar because of this.

Any of you guys looking for crew positions on jpegs?

Here's your site: http://www.starshipcrewconnector.com/

An Ad posted:

Recruitment for Phoenix Battalion Squadron Leader/Member positions. Missions will generally consist of strike teams boarding/entering Syndicate territory and collecting bounties on all outlaws present/collecting all Syndicate assets present. Training for these teams will begin in 8 weeks, and will take place 2-3 times a week. This training is recommended, as we will be going over/developing tactics and weapon skills until launch. It is not mandatory to attend all sessions, but recruits should attend as many as they can.

Thanks for this hot tip. I'd never have guessed that Phoenix Battalion Squadron is recruiting!

Another Ad posted:

My org (https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/GDL) is currently recruiting crew members for our many vessels.

In this particular case we have a need for crew for our Crucible repair vessel. Mostly in a repair/engineering/mechanic/maintenance role to maintain our fleet. You'll be working in close co-operation with our commercial and armed fleet in repairing all craft. Profit sharing is the reward.

To participate the minimal requirement is to join the org and the discord server (link also on the org RSI page)

Sign up now for this non-existent position featuring game mechanics that haven't been implemented on a ship that only exists in theory! Positions are filling fast!

I know I've said this a lot, but I honestly cannot tell which end of that thing is supposed to be the front. I haven't seen designs this bad since the Michael Bay Transformers movies, and I do not say that lightly.

Now that you mention it and I actually looked at the grey knife looking thing in the picture, I also don't know which way is the front. :(

Is the front the side with the star on it, or is that the engine part?

3) any press, negative or not, is press for CIG (so all you detractors: keep on keeping-on).
4) Who said I'm trolling? I'm close to this game in many ways and I want to see it made (in fact, it's in progress). 5 years/7 years - whatever.

The detractors like myself look at this absolute shitshow and are advocating for the 1.8 million backers to get a refund because CIG are at this point very clearly hack frauds

I love how the clock on that screen is conveniently out of frame.

Kinda wonder if that is just an old img they're recycling now, or if its actually a legit, third or fourth refactor of one of the only NPCs (not yet) in the "game".
