I don't know... This past weeks antics aren't enough compared to Trump thinking health insurance is like other insurance, something you buy for old age or for emergency and costs 12$ a year. CIG and Citizens are really going to have to amp it up to win this years fremdschämen of the year award.

To be honest I'm not seeing anything else surpassing Trump's stuff this year.

Unless Trump is somehow a backer.

Hey thank you.

It was mostly built in Adobe illustrator to match earlier and last year's much despised evil goon charts which are, incidentally, still completely accurate over a year later -- apart from the additional of new ships.

This is just so great -- I was gone a year yet everything in CIG land is just the same as when I left.

Nothing has changed. No Squadron got Star Marine'd, 3.0 got gutted, CIG is still archering, the DS brigade still is on hair-trigger alert seeing conspiracies to defame CIG everywhere and Derek as the secret Puppet Master behind it all rather than Chris Roberts irrefutable history of exaggerations and mismanagement...

Sorry to just sputter on about it but it's just really awesome to see.

The thing that kills me is that they could have made the low axel a functional thing. Think of it. Low axel for stability and stealth. Then switch to high axel mode for clearance and off road capability. CIG is completely without real creativity. loving worthless plagiarists and hacks. Copying is all they know what to do.

...but seriously, how the gently caress are you supposed to get in and out of this thing?

Despite the fact there are no doors the side panels are too high so you have to climb up the side of the vehicle, then feet in first down into the foot well, then duck your head in under the roof.

Looking forward to see the 'full immersion', fidelity animation for that one!

It probably has a panel that opens up to extend a foot ladder.

For anyone wondering, the wheels are Archered from the Mars Curiosity Rover.



Artists took that inspiration and layered in the fidelity to get to the monstrous design of the tumbril. They saw the ridges on the wheel and thought, what if they jutted out like pangolin scales. Too bad they have no idea why the Curiosity wheels where designed the way they are, and are already falling apart after travelling 15 km at a velocity of about 30 metres an hour. A good design to base your manned, bulky, space truck on.
