What the hell is gamergate anyhow? I don't follow any of this gaming garbage because I'm an adult with real hobbies, but a TLDR would be nice.

My understanding is that you can offer a bounty on another player. It's been awhile since I heard (Ex-CIG member) Rob Irving talk about it. But the intention was at that time in PVP areas you could flag another player and then offer a bounty contract on them. Other players could collect. It's a bit different from EVE as the areas are not universal, it's instanced. If you're wanting to track down another player, you have to flag them in game (so the server knows to match your instances). You'll only find them in a PVP zone. Supposedly areas that are in heavy control, like UEE areas, will not allow this via some method. This is the kind of stuff that has to be worked out. I recall how Age of Conan launched and how much it changed from their hardcore philosophy. I'm sure, assuming SC ever launches, there will be all kinds of changes in the gameplay design.


There's no set limit on it that I'm aware of, but there are factors the influence. The larger the ship, the more material is required to build it. Much like EVE, to build ships, the actual required materials have to be transported to the various factories, components shipped, and all assembled. Only then do you get the replacement. Small ships are easy to replace, they're common and all over the place being built. Large ships take more. A critical difference between EVE and SC (again, all of this is proposed because of course there is no SC out right now), is that the economy is almost entirely run by NPCs. There's a lot more of them than player characters in the economy. However, those large ships will still take time to build. That's one of the ways of discouraging LTI abuse.

And yup, money money money. Though supposedly they will not be selling ships at launch. At that point, you'll be getting them for in-game credit only, so no more $5k idris-Ps. -- Again, something said, so who knows how it'll be by the time SC launches, if ever.

Same here, I haven't followed GG at all but I'd sooner go to the David Duke Radio Show than be associated with this guy in any way. This guy is scum and you should know it Derek. This was some serious self-ownage.

So how much money is left out of that $113M?
Enough to finish the game? Unlikely.

What exactly did this child do to deserve his citizenship? I thought citizenship had to be earned the good old hard way, through playing Squadron 42 Part 1 through 6.
