That Forbes article about this stuff a year or so ago was pretty great because it hasn't stopped being true.

Care to share?

 The truth is that Sandi just got her refund processed and this will give her a few days head start before anyone realizes she's gone

  • Plan to have dynamic NPC schedules so during the day the streets are filled with shoppers and workers whereas at night streets are filled with entertainers, drunks, criminals, etc.

When the gently caress is night time on a space station anyway?

I'm still not sure how /r/dereksmart "archiving" literally everything he says, blocked users creating new twitter accounts to harass him, reddit users openly wishing for his death and engraving bullets with his name on them, or negative review bombing his game all does not count as harassment but what I do know is that #IstandwithSandi

You clearly don't understand game development.

This has been one of my favorite "This is totally Impossible" things about Star Citizen. Aside from things like the impossible networking or impossible physics grids.

Backers are confident in the idea that 1000UEC = $1 and that their jpegs will only become more expensive / harder to get. If you read RSI / Reddit enough there are people throwing around timeframes like six months to a year to get a javelin. None of them look at it from a realistic standpoint though.

All MMO economies go through inflation, some a little some a lot. You typically combat this with money sinks. Large items that remove currency from circulation.

Mounts in WoW are a good example, when they came out and cost 5,000 gold and were a huge deal because there wasn't that much gold in circulation yet to justify 10,000,000+ players all being able to afford a mount. EVE Online has permanent ship/module loss to remove currency from circulation. In Star Citizen the moneysinks are the ships people would buy.

However, by selling $133,000,000 worth of assets before the economy even exists, at the backers expected exchange rate of 1000UEC that means CIG has eliminated the need for 133,000,000,000 UEC to be spent. So 133 Billion UEC will now be earned without having to be spent on anything and inject massive amounts of useless currency into the economy.

In the backers best case scenario where Star Citizen somehow comes out as promised your $750 Polaris would be worth $7.50 after a couple months. Your $3,000 javelin would be <$30. They have no plan for an economy much less a plan to deal with the hundreds of billions of their own currency they are printing as fast as they can. Currently during this sale they are removing the need for 600,000,000 more UEC to be spent every day.

Give a few hundred thousand people millions of UEC they would have normally spent already and that means your 100UEC space rocks are going to be 10,000UEC space rocks. UEC will be 10,000-100,000 per dollar easily.

The most specific version of their plan for the economy right now is:
  • It will work real good
  • There will be trading and bounties and stuff
  • We'll figure it out later
