Newest reply. Somehow being gifted something, melting it, rebuying the LTI version and gifting it back counts against my account even though the actual transaction is listed as $0.00USD in the billing page, therefore not contributing to overall amount spent.

Consider this my public statement.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4-oHfJNrr0

I, under the name "Bootcha", an investor with Cloud Imperium Games from Nov 13, 2012 till today, have decided to part ways with Cloud Imperium Games. As such, my investment has been returned to me, as is, with no accumulated interest. I no longer have any remaining business, legal interest, or influential bearing with Cloud Imperium Games and their ongoing business operations, and they have no further obligations towards me.

My opinions have been public, honest, and within the terms of my NDA. I enjoyed helping Star Citizen however I could, and was blessed to meet and befriend so many passionate artists, engineers, and designers. However, this project no longer has need of me, nor I of it.

I would like to thank fuzzknot for giving me the kick in the rear end to get this exit ball rolling, Mr. Smart for being frank and open with me, many past and present CIG employees for talking to me, Ben Lesnick for giving me this opportunity in the first place, Imp Zone for shaking some sense into me, and the Goons as a whole for ruining everything.

But you can buy this model of a spaceship!
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Constellation-Model/10

Only eighty loving dollars for a ten inch model of a ship that you literally will never be able to see in-game, ever, because after they released this model they redesigned the entire thing and now it looks totally different but is still not flyable!

Take a poll on preferred multi crew positions. Make sure to ask people how much they spent. Wouldn't want any...undesirables in a captain seat...

Suggestions for additional surveys:

Role Prefference.
You ought to make the roles question multiple choice.
Spaceship vs Spacestation activity
Perhaps have a top 3 positions for multicrew
Preferences for firearm ballistics, personal protection (body armor) and medical system realism
Survey asking for opinions on awareness (where is fire coming from, how can taking damage be communicated to players, how is this done at the moment and what are the best ways to do this in the future?)
satan
Admiral/Commander (Looking at the whole battle and directing carriers, troops, wings etc.)
The ships? Type of missions? etc
Ask if the person taking the survey wants to primarily be on a multi-crew ship or in a single-person ship
I'd like to run a multi-crew ship of npcs. I don't want to fly with strangers and my friends don't play SC.
I love you. And pie
Add Boarding Party to jobs.
Should add hiring crewmen to the social module of the game so you can get into instant action crewing another ship if you like
Ask what style of multicrew ship. There's a heavy bomber, drop ship, tanker, hauler, etc. That is just as important to include as role
Own the multi-crew ship, or work on another's?
Sextet cosplay
I think the questions here were poorly phrased. I suggest: Listen to Paul Fry's lectures on introduction to litterature on youtube, and *perchance* improve your ability to create meaningful questions, or ask for help the next time. I'd argue that I can't really realistically have any preferences for a secondary or a tertiary roles when I don't know what the gameplay will actually be like. There would be no way for me to compare the three this way.
Roles should include: EWAR, Security (anti-boarding, general security, etc.), Weapons systems (not just gunners), cargo foreman (organization, manifests, etc.)
On your ship or someone else's?
Might want to break up the "how much you spent" section. One big ship puts people over your highest line really fast. I don't know if that an issue or not, maybe a bunch of people have spent less than I thought.
Perhaps incorporate roles for policing and piracy, perhaps roles concerning specialities (making drinks on the Jump, mining ores on the orion, determining alloys and stripping/repairing on the crucible or salvaging on the reclaimer).
Add prefered role in the verse like: mining, fighting, data gathering w etc
Allow multi select for crew positions instead of by order of interest, with a seperate question for top choice. Its too hard to narrow down what id like to do to 3 positions. Idk if thats possible though with this interface :p
Make 'none' an option for second/tertiary
More cowbell
Praise Chris Roberts
Space Bagel Flavours
moar tits
Ask for novel challenges or ideas for player generated content? Like "get this vending machine from X to platform Y.
PvP slider setting, vocations, regulated vs frontier space
How many people are focused on fps game play?
I plan to lone wolf it most of the time, but I'm happy to do the occasional crewing.
Survey for the next best survey ideas.
Is TEST Squadron the Best Squardon?
A survey to gauge community interest of combat vs. non-combat spaceships
survey about geographical location (planet, star system, etc) or where citizens will spend most of their time (vega system, Severus in the Kiel system, unexplored space, etc.
Multi-crew role should have a unsure possible. but that could fit in other.
Ask which multi-crew ships (if any) the player owns.
not buying game until finished
Additional Role Suggestion: Operations Manager (Commanding/Organizing multiple ships)
What will your space outfit look like? Mine: Fabulous.
Survey cataloging the types of PVP encounters players would enjoy
Crew size preference
Allow us to choose more than one roke if you decide to do the survey, and also change the age notes as some of the ages do not only correspond to one note IE 18 being only secondary school when it can apply to undergraduates aswell
Holotable design improvements
This survey gave me space aids.
An option for people who own a multi-person ship and are looking for crew might be useful, but I wouldn't know where to tell you to place it in your questionnaire.
combat vs non combat role interests
You are awesome.. Free 3d printing for my delta throttle
Tapir please
meh
What is your endgame ship? Not what ship you pledged to own, but what you intend to acquire later. Also, what roles in a fleet or Org would you like to have? IE boarding party, piracy, security, trading, finance, mechanic, etc.
Whether clans or even a Lone Wolf, would hire Freelancers or Mercenaries.
What types of in game careers are you interested in?
For this survey- Class of ship: medium, large, capital. Crew size: 3, 4, 5, 6, Prefered escort: (list of escort ships)
Give me free UEC
Price spent on ships should have been a more useful range, or even been "how many ships have you bought" - Lots of people own at least 2 ships, which will push everyone into the last category.
What part of the game ( Dogfight - Exploration - First person incrusions, etc ...) do you plan the spend the most time on ?
Roles be ranked, from 1-5 or something like thouse strongly would, strongly wouldnt scale.
What role would we NOT want to fill.
Do you own a multi crew ship?
Ideal Role for your Multicrew Ship?
Preferred style of play; Game time commitment
More questions, it was super fast which is nice but you have room for like 5-10 more and still be a "fast" survey.
You should add an option of all of the above or something similar. I mainly want to try out everything and see what I enjoy. They could all be fun for all I know.
How do I get a refund on this scam?
Captain
When will the game be finished?

It was a great discussion, Brian-- thank YOU for offering your perspectives on the game and the genre. I sincerely do believe there is a great deal Chris Roberts could learn by seeking your counsel. We decry and make light of CIG's wasteful spending, particularly in LA, but real talk -- if they put you on a $200/HR retainer, set you up in the Beverly Hills hotel, and let you white board feedback on the game in front of Chris Roberts for a week, I'd be in this very thread clapping up a storm declaring their genius.

So up until about 2 hours ago when I read the new ToS I was supporting Star Citizen.

Truth be told, I'm not a Derek fan... and I have a significant investment in Star Citizen...

But with all the recent events of finding out I'm being labeled, the plagiarism, this new ToS made me genuinely angry.
I don't believe that the ToS is legal, because it's worded as a "Contract" with the new indefinite clause in it.

That's a perpetuity contract, I'm pretty sure... and not legal here in the States.
Anyone know a good lawyer?

Apparently it's also similar to seven other game's TOS. I would wager that it's just a basic template TOS that you use for your scummy game company
