So the ship on the poster is called the Hawk. Looking at it, it's obviously a fighter, because those tend to sell really well. I'd been hearing rumblings about a heavy fighter going on sale, but had suspected it to be a Xi'an (or whatever they're calling the Space Chinese) for that extra grab. Thinking maybe the two new ships are both fighters. It would make sense, it's something CIG can fart out reasonably quickly compared to say a pocket carrier.

No Star Citizen anniversary live stream this year. Obviously because the much touted, one year late, 3.0 build is completely & flat-out BROKEN; and they simply can't play/show it live.

Don't worry though, that's not going to affect the obligatory end of year JPEG ship sale cash grab.

Seeing as they are most definitely engaging in a Ponzi-like scheme, if you put in for your refund now, they will have money next month to give you. New sales, fund old sales refunds.



Thank you for the heads-up.

This is another perfect example of Chris being stuck up his own rear end and his self delusions of just wanting to 'direct' something

We are already moving away from human controlled everything, because humans introduce errors in what can be a relatively simple process

YES!! I totally called it that they had no choice but to release something called 3.0 by year end. They had NO choice. Like, at all.

God I can't wait for Shitizens to get a load of what we've been playing this whole time. It's an epic disaster.

Then again, seeing as the anniversary sale ends Dec 2nd, this could be a ruse to get whales to fund their lies, then at the last minute, it's delayed to 2018.

Tomorrow, doom!
But now, tea.

This is a classic example of cultist thinking.

Frontier is BAD. So anyone remotely associated with Frontier is instantly tagged with everything else in the BAD category - a shill, a refunder, a hater, a secret spy for the forces of reaction, a Derek Smart alt, and of course incredibly salty and mad that they're merely playing a functional game rather than the glory that is Star Citizen.

So every single poster who expresses a positive opinion about Frontier must be immediately attacked because they're secretly a spy and a hater and probably working even now to bring down CIG with some nefarious Derek plot. Because that is what people who like Frontier totally do all the time when vigilant citizens aren't looking.

Frontier and LOD and their ilk are bleakly fascinating case studies where the Shitizenry are involved. They're embarrassingly good but the cultists can't possibly permit someone to ever say that, because they're too busy patrolling for wrongthink. The enemy is BAD by definition. The enemy is all bad things. Alternatively Star Citizen must be GOOD even when the wheels fall off. So any badness from Star Citizen is really somehow from the enemy and that means the other games get all SC's faults projected onto them.

Line of Defence is a useful scapegoat here - it's a game made by the Enemy in the same genre as Star Citizen, firmly on the BAD side of the line. So any and all awkwardness the cultist feels about SC can be transferred to it. Oh, a Star Citizen demo was bad and a vehicle fell off a ramp? Well in Line of Defence there aren't any vehicles. Or ramps. And vehicles fall off ramps all the time and explode and break your computer and kill kittens and please please accept the bad things I have to think about Star Citizen are really about Line of Defence because otherwise I have to stare reality in the face and it hurts.

I genuinely believe that if stressed hard enough, you could get a really-far-gone shitizen to claim that a particularly embarrassing piece of Star Citizen footage is actually from Line of Defence.

Well MoMa. It's good to see you back in the thread and with such incredible holiday cheer I might add. Not wanting to put too fine of a point on it, but I am not an author of anything but my own small collection of shitpostings, but I have always stated that there will be no 3.0. Now I hope you have a good Thanksgiving and spend it with your family and people that care about you. This is, after all a dumb video game that we all come here to shoot the poo poo and laugh about together.

Nope. Back in 2016, I said that it didn't EXIST. And that croberts LIED when he said it did and that it was coming on|before Dec 19th.

I was right.

Unlike you, I can prove it because I had numerous articles about it. Here's a whole loving timeline of those claims.

1) It didn't exist

2) It didn't come out by Dec 19 2016

3) The April 2017 schedule proved #1 & #2 above

4) The Oct 2017 Evocati release proved #1 above

It's still not released. And what they've cut from back when it was promised in mid-2016 to now, it may as well have been called 2.7

Your move. Make it good, I'm on vacation.

I guess technically it's always been vaporware.

What I mean is that I assume CIG moved the goal posts once again and are making believe they never said it was so important and so close to being done.

Are you referring to this time last year when they said it was coming out in December and Derek (and the rest of us) said it wasn't?

And then it didn't?
