Anyone could just buy the cheapest ship and crash it into your habitat/pioneer/weedfarm. CiG is going to makes tens of millions selling goon insurance.

Motherfucker, Citizens are already reconciling this. quote:after reading that, it isnt that bad really, more like a cool feature, i imagine doing something like security firms that would be cool. maybe the prebuy thing is a bit early but thats all quote:The problem is kids dont read before using mommys credit card and then expect a secret underwater base in their moon land as well as a burried Bengal carrier. quote:I'm really curious how the pitchfork mob are imagining someone buying a land claim license is going to affect their own gameplay in a universe with millions-billions of land plot spaces available. quote:I deal with property as my job. After giving this a little thought, I personally feel that CIG understands the difference between what would be freehold land (deeded) and claimed land, but the average person does not make this distinction and is angry because they feel that people can buy and utilize whole planets.

MilesK posted:Does the land stick thing come with insurance for the stuff you build on it, or is that a separate purchase? Seperate purchase. But before that, you'll have to purchase an appointment with the land registry to discuss what you want to build, then you'll have to hire an architect and have a land survey carried out, then seek planning permission and pay the fee's, you'll also have to pay to access the electricity grid and sewerage system which also means paying for access with the health and safety in space brigade, then and only then can you think about sticking your pole into the dirt. Afterwards it's mostly just fee's and legal expenses.

FailureToReport posted:I'm hoping by the time I finish responding this isn't stupid long and some other people have posted so I'm not flooding the thread, but I really really wanted to respond to this because you nail one of the things I tried sooooooo hard to get across to backers when I was running my channel as an SC backer. Good post, friend! I think the thread collectively acknowledged that if SC ever did come out, it would literally be a mess of griefers. If nothing more than to watch people cry over their $1000 fleet getting blown up by twats in the starter ships ramming them to death as soon as it’s possible. There’s nothing in SC that has ever acknowledged casual play like CR is trying to sell outside of the impossible to implement “PvP Slider” thing. The imaginative role playing world of honor and authority so many high paying backers think will happen is about as fabricated as CIG making hunting and fishing and giving people the option to sell their procedurally generated kills to random open market buyers for reward and success. Just like they say “it’s a simulator!” and then there is nothing in it remotely like a simulation. It’s like a badly designed (but very pretty) CoD clone without any of the tactics CoD may actually allow for. Chris’ dream he thinks he is achieving is Space ARMA. The reality is a third rate “another first person shooter wow!!” game.

quote:They sell the items that let you claim land, but so far I haven't seen them selling land itself. Is there something I've missed? quote:Give money -> item -> travel to planet -> survey -> place land claim spike -> build (a mechanic we still have zero insight into, much less the in game cost associated to it) quote:Owning land in SWG was awesome, and this is no different. It actually created all sorts of emergent play opportunities with setting up your own shops and combat content. We need to hook the subreddit up to a generator, this spin could power Puerto Rico for a month.

When you say implement, do you mean A) actually code it and make it work in game? Or B) Gush over it on a weekly talk show paid for by the backers, make lore posts about it, and let the community run rampant with theory crafting for years on end?

quote:"Pledging for these claim licenses now allows us to include deeper features in the Star Citizen game.." (emphasis added). This makes it pretty clear that they need cash now. It's a veiled threat - if you don't buy these pronto, the game as you see it now is all you will ever get.

You aren't buying the land, you're buying the stick that claims the land. And then different sticks can claim different amounts of land, I guess? But you still have to go physically stand on the property and also something something pay for claim paperwork something something. Look just give us the loving money

The one is twice the price of the other. 8x8 is twice the size of 4x4, right? I'm 50/50 on this being due to someone not understanding math. Planetary Development Bureau. TheAgent posted:also who the gently caress was the guy that looked at plot pricing and said "well we got a 4x4 for $50, and um so if we are selling an 8x8 it should be just double because 4 times to 2 is 8 and that's double" You could generously say it's a bulk discount, but it feels more like a gently caress up. TheAgent posted:yup heres the new narrative of "it's the availability to stake a claim on a parcel that can be worked on by anyone but you own it and can punish other people but really who can own land, land comes from GOD and only THROUGH JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF can you be saved, thank you for tuning in, please donate to get my grandmother out of hell and to heal this sick puppy" You're not paying for the land. You're paying the filing fee.

Trilobite posted:Pretty much this. Most of CIG's remaining customers are rats trapped in a sealed metal box: they can't possibly chew their way out, and they won't even bother to try. A month from now, they'll have forgiven CIG and forgotten whatever hurt feelings they have today. The rats are more like the ones from Skyfall where Javier Bardem trapped them in a drum with out food and eventually they turn on each other and start cannibalizing the weak until there are only two left that have taste for rat meat. The number of faithful is decreasing and participating in their lovely forums and subreddit is turning backer against backer. Eventually there won't be any left except the most awful, devout backers. I wonder who that will be.

The license covers all the ground and all minerals and resources under the ground. Get your license to protect your valuable mining find. "What happens if 2 people try to claim at the same time?" "This is where data runners come in." Wow.

Allright, so you can claim land. Once you do, it'll just be a barren useless piece of terrain right ? So the only interest in acquiring a piece of land is for housing purposes. So it'd be logical that they'd start selling buildings next. How much ? Place your bets. Would be pretty fun if a single building was as expensive as a ship, like $500. Would love to see the face of the guys who got a land claim but couldn't afford a building that goes on it.
