ignoring the first four requirements, some of which i think are mutually exclusive, who gives a gently caress if your backend programmer cares at all about space or science fiction?

If such person existed they would want nothing to do with Star Citizen.
Especially, given their unbelievably lovely recent tweets with people working through the weekend or late nights.

I like the 60 year old man nicknames these dudes give any dissenters. Like "Sparky". Reminds me of an old drunk I arrested 5 years ago, the memory sticks with me because his insults were no longer valid in today's day and age. Stuff like "Gearbox", "Sparky", etc.

I have a feeling a lot of the backers are dudes who no longer are relevant in life.

Speaking of barbless insults and getting arrested.

When I was in Korea there was a non-drinker in my battery that decided to dip his toes into binge drinking. A buddy and I walked him back to his room, and then headed back to the bars. He had one of those livers that produces ADHD in response to alcohol. So sometime later that night, we leave a bar and see our comrade, shirtless, surrounded by MP's. He was yelling at the MP's, "You motherfuckers think you're better than me?! You can't beat me at math! I bet you can't beat me at math!!" and then he grabbed one of the MP's and headbutted him.

The funny thing is, those cowards were afraid to face him as a mathlete and they had to resort to batons. So I guess he won.

The only time I've heard, "Sparky" is from Aladdin, where genie is impersonating Nicholson as he gives dating advice to Al, "Alright Sparky, here's the deal..." How is it meant as an insult or a put down?

One of my best buds from ~4th grade age (I used to play Rogue on his Tandy!) had a couple guinea pigs that were supposedly both male until they gave birth to 20 baby pigs. He told me his mother put an end to the "now we have 22 guinea pigs" conundrum with a hammer on their concrete porch.

I never sassed her again.

Your buddy was a liar, no guineapig in the world has ever had 20 babies. Average litter size for Guinea Pigs is 3, world record is 17. Either he was exaggerating the numbers for effect or the entire thing was made up to look cool, unless you actually saw the babies at any point I'd put my money on the latter because all children are drat liars Crobblers.

You see, when you log off your character becomes sentient and goes on great adventures together with friends to the corners of the universe. They fight pirates, rescue space princes and princesses, discover lost civilizations, and -in general- have a blast.. Then you return and it's back to loading and unloading cargo for the poor bastards.

The only way for SC to exist now if for CIG to make it a room where backers stack crates to earn money, then log off and receive text & jpeg updates on their phones about the adventures of their NPC protagonist.
Then they log back on to buy their guy a new ship, move some crates, and go back to reading fanfics.
