Truga posted:Germans have a huge freelancer following, they still have several servers running that are chock full of people. They backed for freelancer 2, and considering how arena commander is turning out, it's exactly what they're getting, so I'm not exactly surprised. Well all I ever wanted was a modern Privateer game and/or Freelancer 2 so I know I'll be happy. It's the people expecting some kind of virtual second life escapism dreaming of a (literal) first person "universe" where you walk around to-scale alien worlds, those people are going to hit a hard loving rock wall of reality.

CrazyLoon posted:It, honestly, pisses me off to no end that they did this poo poo to the Cutlass (From now on I'll pretty much always link their own loving commercial at CIG employees, until it gets reverted to that state), but as far as PVP is concerned all I know is that Tony Zurovec is in charge of the grand design there, as he does the PU systems in general, and that what he laid out during the Townhall talks earlier this year deffo sounded like it'd be promising for a lot of PVP opportunities. After seeing the relation between that commercial and the final product, I am literally expecting the retaliator commercial to sprout legs and tap dance it's way across an asteroid on big robotic legs wearing sequined platform shoes.

and the other turds can keep pushing to make all pirate ships poo poo if they like, but so long as the baseline is being made by a guy with his kind of bent towards PVP, I'll just wait until it comes out.

I want you to design me a FPS. Only you can't control the player camera position because we're making a wonky broomstick camera with legs be the player. Also you can't do any real level design because spaceships and constant redesigns. Look just recycle the zero gravity part of Crysis 1 ok? That has to still be left in the engine somewhere. Why no, I'm not expecting major bugs or delays why do you ask?

I hope that when the Mad Max Fury Road movie comes out on Blu-Ray there is a special edition with a deleted bonus scene. In that scene one of the other blood bags brags about his bitcoin collection stored in his "head wallet" and about how they need to release him because he's a both a Captain of Industry and a Star Citizen, thus above their fiat laws.

I like it when people make offhanded references to their job or education to justify a position with an aura of smugness. No other justifications though. Why would you need them? They're just filthy commoners who don't know anything, are clearly uneducated and will never appreciate your intellectual genius. For genius is what it is. True Genius. Geneuyyus.

AP posted:They always intended to sell in-game cash, they have said they'll stop selling ships but they go back on their word so often... I doubt anyone really believes that anymore. Exactly this. I do believe them (a bit) when they say they won't sell the ships directly eventually. Instead they'll just sell you large fake internet currency packages for $Realbucks and let you purchase the ships for in game. Probably for a markup too  This is why anyone expecting to grind out a constellation in game for a remotely reasonable amount of time is probably going to get a shock.

AP posted:If you assume they plan to actually ship a game at some point I think it's going to be interesting to see them drop the act entirely. I bet the whole "we love you wonderful backers" charade will disappear so fast that some members of the community team get whiplash. I have no doubt some there are dreaming of a time they can hand out game bans to feet worshipers, Oh yeah, once the game finally gets kicked out the door and they have a new revenue stream in the form of whatever freemium is tacked on top of the B2P model along with new purchasers it's going to be a bloodbath on the forums. A great purge of the unclean (unless they keep spending that is).

Does autism ever truly die? But PACT certainly did collapse and die horribly which was Imperium's golden child until the vile goons desecrated it and caused a failure cascade by simply taking the bold route of applying for membership.

Kimsemus posted:The cult of Bitcoin is almost as sad and misguided as the cult of Croberts. I don't know man, the possible chance that you might get to fly a thousand dollar space pixel autism chariot is far more "sensible" than spending a few million on an uninsured buttcoin mining farm in Thailand that burns down. It's all relative of course. Compared to a greater insanity a lesser one can look sensible.

I bet trading items between players directly or through auction houses are going to be limited to one system at a time because of the whole FTL comms don't exist backstory that is the entire reason for the Drake Mobile TV Antenna to exist. Enjoy flying and landing through 20 different systems, running through landing zones to Jobwell and getting slowed down by random events the whole while as you search desperately for a Laser Gun (blue) +5 for your space chariot. A Laser Gun (blue) +5 with the exact right set of random secondary attributes (overclocking?) for metagame of the month reasons of course.
