In case people missed it due to Citcon excitement, today's Burndown summary:

- Crash/disconnect problems mentioned in Evocati confirmed, testers/devs have no idea why it's happening.
- Erin getting frustrated as to why fixes are taking so long.
- Something about networks, I honestly couldn't understand the guy's accent. Something about aiming to get the ping down so that the game reaches 30fps?
- They're still not sure what exactly the point of the evocati are ("We use them mainly for networking and performance" "don't we want them to give gameplay feedback?").
- More schedule shuffling.
- Bug with shops where the shops just don't work (no items appear), apparently they had this problem before; Erin: "Can't we just fix it like we did last time?".
- Bug with icons appearing huge.
- :siren: Airlocks stopped working, again :siren:.
- Dev: "We're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel" :lol:.

So by some standards I obviously don't understand accounting, but on Page 5 (Profit and Loss) for the year to 31 Dec 2015, somehow a Gross (Loss) of (£339,098) has Administrative Expenses added to it of £604,397 to make a Profit before Taxation of £265,299? I may have been out of the trade for a few decades, but since when have Administrative Expenses become income and not a further negative sum increasing the loss? i.e. shouldn't (£339,098) be increased by (£604,397) to make a Loss Before Taxation of (£943,495)? Which would then mean the balance sheet on the subsequent pages doesn't (balance) and the accounts for 2016 then don't make sense as the retained profit/(loss) isn't reflected properly in the 2016 opening position.

Apparently these accounts have been audited...

To be fair the guy admits he doesn't understand accounting. I know reading about accounting isn't the most riveting but back in my January blog I did explain this. It's because the £655k profit on sale of IP was included in expenses.

shrach posted:

...
Curious side effect of this IP sale/profit is that with standard expenses of ~£50k offset by this receipt for £650k their accounts show administration expenses of -£600k. Yes, their expenses show an increase to their profit because why not format it like that?

Also included with the bundle is an exclusive digital Star Citizen spaceship called the "Sabre Raven".

I've heard that the Pioneer can fabricate massive habitats for fruit orchards, and create extremely large bowls and ladles capable of distributing tonnes and tonnes of liquid.














So you can serve punch above your weight.

Today is the best day, my fellow goons, goonettes, citizens and shitizens. Not only will we be able to watch an hours-long cringefest, but actual good games like Assassin's Creed, The New Colossus, and Mario Odyssey will be able to entertain us when the lies become too much, or too boring.

Actual work can get hosed today. Today is Schadenfreude Christmas!

I think this also lends credence to the theory that Crobberts is trying to turn Star Citizen into a place to dump hardware that otherwise wouldn't sell as well.
