I think a day or two ago on Specturm, someone asked Lando for the price and he said it was in the "design department" to determine the price. loving comedy thinking they are doing deep calculations to determine BOM and gross profit margins for a jpeg instead of just placing Stevie Wonder in front of a dartboard.

Looking forward to the day people actually demand them to figure out in game costs. At this point it feels like you'll have to spend $5 per ton of packaged bear dicks as cargo so you can have the honor of having cargo at all to feel like a trader.

Reminder that the game is so poorly defined that the flight mechanics are still not finalised 5 years into development.

The main problem with the Star Citizen thread is the rate at which titles are spawned.

You clearly don't understand game development
Was watching a (European) streamer trying to figure out what to do in Hellion early (no tutorial or guides yet of course) and it looks like the game will be a lot of fun. Hopefully they sort out the server stability, as the USA-based streamers were having major problems with connecting at all, although they're having better luck now.

Surprisingly, ALL the Star Citizen usual suspects are streaming it now too. Is THIS the E.L.E?

https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Hellion - 750 viewers

https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Star%20Citizen - 45 viewers

EVE, Kerbal and Elite are around the 200 viewer mark.

I have been reading this thread off and on while waiting for the collapse of SC. I feel like that time is near. It's going to be like a run on the bank. As soon as people lose confidence it's going to happen so fast.

Edit - I don't notice my spelling errors until someone quotes me.

So this leads me to a question. Since Crobbers and Co. are listed on the IMDB and can be considered public figures. How far can one go to using them in satire such as a tshirt line?

Buy a gigantic cribbage peg board, large enough to take up, say, your mom's basement

affix an intricate and useless model spaceship to one of the pegs (make sure it costs at least $400 for FIDELITY)

label the two ends of the board with whatever fictional star systems you like

every 12 hours, move the spaceship-peg one space forward on the cribbage board

roll a d20 every so often to determine how well you mixed drinks or if you showed a good movie to your passengers or if they all get raped by space pirates

You have now made the Best drat Space Simulator Ever, according to the brown sea

As you'll see by the screen shots, this is an abnormal state for the character to be in while in the seated position, flying a ship.

Nothing, stay seated as per normal
