Look, here are the things I have been told I have to save: my marriage, American democracy, and the right vision of Star Citizen. What the gently caress, Failure to Report. Right now, I've got time but no money in all three. What the gently caress do these bitches want from a Citizen? The God's truth is that I am not going to save any [of the three things I was told to save]. All three are as foul as poo poo. Yes. Let it all burn. Merry Christmas and Happy loving Holidays. May 2018 not be the poo poo that 2017 was! Irrelevant Bible verse. You know, this new direction Chuck Palahniuk's been taking is a bit off.

XK posted:If the 1,000 SC bucks per $1 holds true, 11.7 cents for delivering that box. 12c (rounded) per mission. Lets give it a good conservative assumption of 15c (value!) per standard mission for deliveries, with the high of 20c for more difficult SS class missions. 15c for a 10 min mission is 1.5c per minute made, this is assuming missions can't be stacked. If they can. I would average 1.5x pay per stack and a diminishing return of sorts. $0.015 = 1 minute $45 = 3000 minutes / 50 hours / 2+ full days So to get an Aurora, its 2 FULL days of running missions (lol) Lets say a Polaris, $750.00 = 50000 minutes / 833.333333 hours / 34 FULL Days WTF is Crobbers thinking? e: To add to this, since ships are at their lowest prices now, I would add that even accounting for inflation post launch, things will remain relatively the same with some adjustments to the numbers. So, TLDR: BUY A POLARIS. no_recall fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Dec 27, 2017 |

30 minute missions where your ship runs out of a fuel at 35 minutes, or where you're yelling at a broken NPC to accept your box at 45 minutes.

It was for sale a couple years ago by an aviation museum in San Diego for about $70,000. I also know the ferry pilot who last flew it from Vermont to San Diego. It cost him his pilots license when he thought he was out of FAA radar contact over the desert and decided to goose the engines and take it super sonic. Join us.

Saint Drogo posted:someone please explain this goddamn reverence CR inspires I'm an idiot on the internet, BUT... I think it has to do with a mixture of: Spent too much money on game and know it but won't admit it/desperately lonely and wanting a community/hope that the game will be all the things they fantasize about. And Chris is the one who runs the company. If Chris fails, the "dream" fails. They're desperately hoping that the words they're typing are true. When this fails they'll turn against Chris in a really bad way.

Reminds me of a murder case once. Soldier goes on a deployment overseas to an out in the middle of nowhere place for a little over a year. Comes home to wife and kids, everything is fine for a little while. Then, sporadically, over several months weird packages of cut up clothes and items start arriving at the house. Soldier tells his wife: "Ha ha, just a prank. Don't worry about it." We find the guy dead in his back yard. If you can't guess he found a lover while overseas and then ran off back to his family. Lover believed all the bullshit lies he told and went nuts when it all collapsed. Local PD found the lover about a mile off base. Pulled over and ate a bullet.

Regrettable posted:FTR basically already did this and it was pretty funny. I am honestly blown away by the mental gymnastics. Since 3.0 has come out, Citizen's have been loving raving like insane rabid monkeys over the amazing gameplay SC 3.0 has brought......the same people who will go on and on about how "loving shallow and boring" Elite Dangerous is. Star Citizen finally has missions of goods! Wow! Look at how good it is! You can buy goods from a terminal and then run them to another terminal! AMAZING! So original! Star Citizen is literally 2-3 years minimum behind getting the basic mechanics Elite Dangerous has into their build, but because you can get up from your seat, it's MUCH MUCH deeper than that lovely game Elite! I mean, no joke, I've streamed Elite Dangerous and had citizens show up in chat trying to troll how "bad" elite is compared to Star Citizen literally right after I point out that SC is struggling to get the exact same mechanics Elite has, BUT they are implementing them with way more tedious and grindy gameplay........yet they say "Elite is so loving boring, Zzzzzzz, it's never going to be as good as SC!" STAR CITIZEN IS TRYING TO BE THE SAME loving GAME YOU IDIOT! The Elite VS Star Citizen argument they make is literally one of the biggest triggers for me with these people. How can anyone be THIS loving stupid?

Steam store bulk asset packs, at best. They're so hacked up to fit into the frankenstein engine, maybe not even that. I can't imagine them being of any use to anyone.

I think part of it is they think in today's saturated market of dime a dozen AAA FPS games (and to be fair, they are right in this aspect, the fact that the market is saturated with FPS games), Chris is going to return them to the glory days that was the land before Wolfenstein 3D opened that door. Elite is a ~competitor~ and a false god. The thing is I can't trust Chris to deliver at this point, even with my token contribution.

You can get a flight on or even outright own a mig-21/29 as a civilian if you're rich and have silly money. Guy is an idiot to say the -21 has bad vis for dogfighting, landing yes, but not in flight.

There's something about Chris Roberts though. My partner, who knows nothing about Star Citizen beyond 'someone named Derek called something', watched some of the recent stream with me and of Chris she said something along the lines of "I want to believe what he's selling." I do think that Ol Crobbler is a pretty good salesman in that sense. I think he's the definition of an infectious enthusiasm, even if he has no idea what he's talking about and people don't tend to like him with prolonged exposure.
