I have to point out that Elon Musk started SpaceX with about 100 million dollars in his budget for it. 6 million more and SC could have made real space ships.

Heh, I don't really care about elite. I'm interested in consumer rights and how the refund thing relates to Star Citizen, Frontier's actions were odd as it would never stand up in court. Frontier settled every case in the end and the one guy who did file for court had his filing fee refunded by them too. That's why they changed policy on it, they wouldn't win, it would be expensive to fight and the public relations issue would be worse than it was.

The odd thing was they tried no refunds in the 1st place to those who'd played an alpha.

ad hominem against a game company, good job you were here to defend them.

Also your last line is wrong, kickstarters are just contracts between the customer and the company, if the company doesn't fulfill the terms of the contract, which involves anything advertised about the game by any member of the company then the customer can fall back on contract law. However as I said before in the EU since June 2014, you're covered far beyond that for a no reason refund up to deliver +14 days. Kickstarter have their terms but that doesn't affect anything as they just want to stay out of any dispute.

I can back all this up with evidence if you like as I followed the issue quite closely but considering you don't really care about refunds I'm going to put your behaviour down to just being terribly misinformed about your rights.

wow the sc thread is full of happy gamers

A lot of them are terrified of the idea that they might be engaged in PvP with anyone, let alone Goons. Some of them are terrified that their immersion will be broken by players running, crawling or jumping.

yeah its great

everyone gets to have a ball slanging mad poo poo at cig and if they actually deliver well the poo poo slinging continues

e:d has no player groups (atleast nothing ingame) yet goons are still finding ways to ruin fuckers days for enjoyment

The differing visions of the PvP and PvE players is creating a schism that CIG will need to reconcile. I wonder how much of a furor there will be over what it takes to acquire ships in-game as the game mechanics become more concrete.

new ships are gated behind pvp quests

i dont know anything about what architecture is required to support an mmo and havent seen anything from CIG that would point to "how" they are planning to run this but....

yeah, VM costs for prod let alone test/staging and HA/DR plans will be $$$

Thank you for the feedback...last I knew they expanded to 500. I'm new to this forum. Only place I can raise these questions is this place.

I'm a backer (ugh) yet see the errors of my way. Ever buy a lovely car and cuss about it for 3 years? That's me.

But seriously, I was going off 500 with my basic calcs. And I even took into account they took a job believing in a dream for a reduced salary. Nothing wrong with that, great gig for those folks, work experience and all.

So how many players can a VM in the cloud host?

id point you to some kind of information but no one knows?
how many players does an instance hold now? 16?
anyone know how many instances there are? (and if they are in google compute or another iaas?)

as another poster pointed out data transfer is minimal (client-> server, server->client)
anyone have any experience with mmo server architecture? (sc or not im pretty interested in a goon explanation)

im guessing,
1. a front end for connecting/serving info to the player/citizen,
2. err "app" server? (gameplay poo poo whatever you want to call it) x how ever many,
3. might have economy/background sims on another,
4. db's
5. depending on cloud provider networks and all that jazz
