Selling the F8 Lightning is one of my old signs of the end times, an absolute top tier sale that would beat absolutely anything else including the previous sale recorder holder the Vanguard bomber.

Also I've said before that when things start to get really bad I bet Sandi Gardiner bails, as she's got no interest in pc games and the kind of attention she'd get as part of a failing project isn't the type of normal attention I believe she'd want. One week missing from ATV likely just means she's on location filming something, or appearing in some theatre somewhere, but if this continues....

They're 100% going to sell the F8 Lightning, or at least some kind of access to it. "What proof have you?" I can hear you screaming at the top of your lungs. Well, it's elementary, my dear goon:



Any time CIG implies they're not going to sell something, they almost immediately end up selling it.

I think they'll end up selling the F9 Lightning or F8 Lightning Black or something like that. IT'll be almost the same but slightly better, conceptually at least, than the F8 in every way.

Nah. The F8 Lightning is already the biggest baddest, most lusted-for space fighter in Star Citizen canon. They'll sell it first, then nerf it continue embracing powercreep to chase nerdbux and start talking about something even better, something so good the UEE Navy hasn't and won't authorize it for resale to Civilians - thus starting the cycle anew.

I do too. I also liked the design of the ship with the whole Event Horizon/Dead Space feel going on at the time.

Supposedly a darker sequel has been written but it is stuffed in a desk drawer somewhere and will probably never see the light of day due to Disney and Star Wars.

Also Disney took a bit of a flyer on the Black Hole with regard to the professor being trapped inside Maximillian's body and the intrepid crew doing a 2001 into the titular black hole. Contemporaneous me remembered thinking 'So, did they win?'. I think it's one of the reasons that they shuffle their feet when people talk about it.

It was literally one of the many attempts to capture the Star Wars lightning in a bottle that fell flat.

The K95 is a bit heavier with better lighting, but to be frankly honest I'm not feeling the tactile feedback love and I'm actually a programmer. And I love the Apple keyboards.

Oh sure. But like you said Maximilian was cool. Any robot that has an arm with a blender attachment that can mix a margarita and disembowel Norman Bates deserves credit.

As for the Star Wars effect for the time, 'Damnation Alley'. What a great campy movie.

You joke, but my friends and me never have anything besides some papers on the table when playing d&d style games. Unsurprisingly, it makes the fantasy game 1000% better if you don't have to shuffle lovely figurines around constantly on a table and just imagine all the insane poo poo going on in your head instead. It's like reading a book vs. watching a puppet play of said book.

It's why star citizen is so successful, after all, because nothing is real so you can imagine anything.

But but but how will my monk's clearly superior 60ft/round movement speed be realized if we're doing it all in our heads? I can't just think that he's very fast! I need to see it, represented by squares!
