Karl is a German auditor Star Citizen fanatic who was posting in the thread in defense of Star Citizen.

Beyond that it is easier to tell you who Karl is not. He is not the German auditor Star Citizen fanatic on the official Star Citizen forums that happens to share a name with the twitter account Karl posted here as his own - this is verifiable because that poster has spent thousands of dollars on Star Citizen while Karl's ships were all gifted to him by his brother. He is not the German auditor Star Citizen fanatic on reddit that posts extensively about how unfairly Karl was treated by SA, because that is a woman. He is also not her father who happens to be a German auditor, just in case you were thinking that might be the case. In fact, every redditor who is German and an auditor and interested in Star Citizen is definitely not Karl, nor the obvious sock puppet accounts that jump to the defense of any German auditor Star Citizenite posting in r/DerekSmart.


All we really know for sure about Karl is he can go gently caress himself.
This is a gem.

Crucible Q&A is up.

quote:

Will the AI be able to perform either role described in the “Ship Repair and Maintenance” post? (AKA, can I operate the Crucible solo)

Eventually, yes, although no AI crew will ever be as efficient as humans working together. To answer the question more broadly, the Cutlass is specifically designed for a single captain to both operate and engage in repair tasks… hence the ‘moving restaurant’ design that lets the main set change between the forward view and an overview of the Scarab.

Little Freudian slip there I imagine. Apparently CIG thinks that a dedicated repair ship, with a complete human crew, will enjoy spending two minutes repairing a Hornet. Or fifteen minutes if it's one guy doing it by himself.

That's where the community team worked when they were in the SM office. As you can tell it's pretty cramped.

I actually like the airplane stuff. It's a pretty cool look and if I had the time I'd try to make my own furniture using that style. The fun part is when you see the closeups and you can see all the stripped screws and poo poo. Also that website is hilarious. This is what they think an infant needs:



Protip: If you have an infant and see a crib even remotely like that, do not let your child sleep there. Everything we've learned about SIDS basically says that's a deathtrap. Here's what a baby should be sleeping in:



Mattress, Cover, Sleep Sack. If it's soft and plush then it's a breathing hazard. Finland has one of the lowest rate of infant mortality in the world and a big part of it is because babies there sleep in cardboard boxes given to the parents by the government.

So yeah, don't kill your loving kid.

$1200 for a coffee table that nobody gives enough of a poo poo about to face the right way around.

$0 for a floor that doesn't look like the poo poo left after tearing out tiles.

Better not spend money on something that can't be thrown in the back of a truck and disappeared in the dead of night when the gravy train runs out of track.

Wow, just wow. Apologetics on pair with religious apologetics.

If ardbeg invite me to buy a limited addition collectible whiskey bottle, and they sey we will only sell 10000 of this bottles. You expect that they will keep there word on this. In fact they always have. So you can trust them, if however they started mass produced a previous sold limited bottle, there credibility as a collectible seller goes right out the window. But you are more than happy to make a special plea regarding CIG, because they are CIG.

Now I'm not saying they need to sell limited editions, in fact I was against it when they first did, however they choosed to sell of ship as they where limited, baiting collectors to buy, for than to switch policy after the sales.

That's bait and switch.
