No explanations. Maybe she wasn't happy enough for the happy family CIG community team.

I like to think she didn't approve of the size of strap-on Sandi was using but in reality it was probably because she was a slacker and dead weight around the back-slapping-happy-camp.

Yeah, me and "ItsJenVar" (say that like you're really surprised) didn't see eye to eye. Bit above the plebby brown sea and all that.

The way :lesnick: moderated the CIC forums (he literally banned people who said Wing Commander Arena on the Xbox 360 was poo poo, and I think he actually came over here once to say "Arena is a great game," even) is basically the exact same way the RSI forums are run. That :lesnick: has as much sway as he does really tells you everything about what Roberts wants -- people who drink the Kool-Aid without question. Alex Mayberry left after essentially a year, for heaven's sake.

There's going to be an oral history about Star Citizen in five years, and it's going to be amazing.

They haven't acknowledged her departure publicly that I've seen- nor has she addressed it on her Twitter.

The Twitch comments during the latest live RtV had constant questions of "where is JenVar?" At then end a Twitcher typed "JenVar and James are at #SDCC"-- but in the show notes after, the bullet only noted "James Pugh attending #SDCC".

So, aside from a brief mention in a Reddit post, JenVar's departure remains a secret. One assumes if she was fired, CiG would prefer to keep it that way, lest it invite uncomfortable questions and bolster heretical narratives.

Right now they're kind of lame, much like the Avenger. Both the 300 series and the Avenger are being reworked (again), and if the work is being done by Foundry 42, you can bet that the new versions will be tons better than what's in-engine right now. They may end up being decent economy ships. Maybe.

350R is fun for going fast. The others are just clones of each other with equipment swaps. None of them are particularly good because anything made before the Gladius suffers from not being new and shiny.
