Seriously, he hosed up the kilrathi so bad they looked like mutant confucius space rats in space.

Don't worry, Jobbo. The Vanduul are getting a redesign as we speak, and they are going to SCARIFY you.




Then again, I think they still use spiky wooden staff/swords as the ignition for their Vanduul spacecraft -- so however scary the look after this next redesign, they may still be a bit hard to take seriously...

What happened to the Tevarin and the Kr'Thak, of which I thought they were the real badguys of the game.

To frame, Kr'Thak would be similar to the white walkers while the vanduul are like pests.

Don't worry, Derek is at a meeting with his legal team at the local park. A lot of butt sniffing and shouting matches between the lawyers, but hopefully they will come up with a way to move forward soon.

I thought Derek was making the point that June 1 was the starting pistol. That this day marked the beginning of the end, that by letting the TOS go unchanged, or just the TOS ending, was something significant and would get other things rolling.

I don't think anyone should expect CIG to go out with a bang, it always felt like a long drawn out death, the type you wanted to see in titanic, but got screwed out of, but finally got in the Revenant (good actor, but should not have won with that performance).

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards.

Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will.

Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect.

However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps.

Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection.

All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever.

Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable.

Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average.

Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule.

Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed.

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

If only they had some sort of marketing or community team literally down the road from E3 and if only someone from one of those teams was capable of playing a video and talking about the game for 5 minutes.

But alas, CIG is too frugal with backer money.

Why can't other people represent CIG I wonder.

Developers? Busy fixing ground breaking bugs such as not having ankles when wearing shoes but not pants.

Ben? Too busy counting Wing Commander floppy disks for the 977th time and/or stalking his reporter waifu.

Sandi? Too busy with vacation and "acting" to know even the most basic poo poo about the game. It's about spaceships or something, I think.

Lando? Dumpster diving behind McDonalds.

Money? His job description of "Literally Token Black Guy" does not cover this.

Rest of the community team? Too busy denying refunds.

what part of my brain to I need to stab with an icepick to be as idiotically optimistic, or deluded, I'm not even sure anymore, as these backers? Frugal with money, they have loving pieces of furniture more expensive than most of the cars I've owned. Furniture that cost what I made in like 3 months as a SSG with BAH in the Army. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. It always just seems like ignorance maybe is bliss. I can't wait for this to loving crash and burn and these people ignore reality more and pine for what could have been for the rest of their lives while continuing to live in the little loving WING COMMANDER FROM 1992 fantasy worlds they've constructed.


OK I need to go to bed I'm a filthy leaver, good luck with the 4000 goal I guess.
