Under the current Terms of Service backers won't get a refund regardless of what CIG does. Furthermore not every ship will be available at whatever point the game is launched. So at this point backers are paying for ships that CIG doesn't actually have to deliver. That's the part that I consider a scam.

Tarquinn posted:Hmm, yes. The phrase "having faith in the game" is muttered quite often by star citizens. Faith, belief, and hope. Backers never talk about what will be in the game because they don't know. I'm pretty sure CIG doesn't know either.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Just that part? There's also the part where CIG went back on their word about funding increasing scope but not schedule, so that backers are now paying to delay their own game. That's a scam as well.

The bad news is that I am no longer a Bomber Bro. The good news is that I now have enough cash to buy a scope for my rifle. Life is good.

ManofManyAliases posted:What do you shoot, and what for? I shoot paper. Mostly. I shoot because I find the act of launching projectiles out of a metal tube via the rapid combustion of energetic materials to be entertaining. I have also hunted, but not as much as I would like. Venison is delicious and being outdoors is fun.

I'll share mine: Nice. I have a SA 1911 and Ruger Mark III for putting holes in paper that gets too close, a Mossberg 590A1 for putting multiple holes in paper, a Saiga 12 for the occasion when I find myself surrounded by paper, a SKS for shooting communist paper, and I'm building an AR-15 with a 20" bull barrel, Magpul PRS, Stag Arms lower, AP upper, and SWFA SS 10X42 for paper that is foolish to stand around in the distance. Occasionally I also get to shoot clay, which is a ton of fun with a magazine fed riot gun.

aleksendr posted:I shoot deer, with bow and arrows. My ratio of "Cost of arrows lost" to "Poud of venison eaten" indicate i should find a less costly hobby, but when you eat the wood fire cooked sweetbreads of a deer you just shot (after, like, 10 opportunites in the last 2 years) everything feel right with the world. Still more cost effective than Internet spaceships. I only went hunting once but it was such an awesome experience that I would love to go again. Unfortunately the land I went hunting on stopped doing hunts.

Tokamak posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/5fqnxj/prediction_multicrew_ships_filled_with_nonnpc/?limit=500 There's a lot of things that don't hold up to meaningful scrutiny. The whole concept of multicrew ships is one of them. CIG has had multicrew stuff out for over a year and they still haven't done anything meaningful to make the gameplay engaging.

Variable 5 posted:Sold most of my ships in the summer of 2014, then got a refund for about half of what was left a few months ago. They wanted to keep some money in ships I had had upgraded to LTI, but I made them send them to the person that did the upgrade for me instead, since getting a refund meant losing your account. That person was me! Conveniently enough the transaction was done in the same email chain that brought us all that insight into the Wonderful World of Sandi.

Meridian posted:Okay, why is the build called Evocati? It bothers me. It's not. The Evocati refer to the backers who have signed a NDA and are permitted early access to builds as a result of their steadfast dedication to reporting bugs. Once something leaves Evocati it goes to the PTU, which is for backers who play enough for CIG to notice (or I think are subscribers). Once the build leaves PTU it goes out to everyone so that they too can experience the wonders of a pre-alpha build. This is open development.

cool new Polack jokes posted:Corvettes, frigates, etc why the emphasis on using outdated (c.2946) naval ship terminology? Oh right, the creative bankruptcy. Outdated naval terminology is used in Star Citizen because Chris Roberts used it in Wing Commander. Chris Roberts used it in Wing Commander because George Lucas used it in Star Wars. George Lucas used it in Star Wars because he had stylistically chosen to make space combat modeled after WW2. So yeah, creative bankruptcy.

aleksendr posted:I'm willing to give them a pass on that one. Its too much ingrained in modern science fiction( many of the writers having served in the military) that space assets are classified like wet navy ships. You're right. It's really not that big of a deal, and since you have to call these things something you might as well go with the trope.

So if I understand things right, Derek is saying that Star Marine isn't in the Evocati build, but MoMA is saying that Derek is wrong because the Evocati build apparently includes the Star Marine files that are playable if you somehow hack the client similar to what people did years ago when the Illfonic stuff was accessible?

Eldragon posted:All fiction requires a certain amount of making poo poo up. And there are few original ideas that someone didn't come up with beforehand. Declaring something as an unoriginal derivative work is as old as Shakespeare. The consumer can either accept that and relax, or can sperg out and post about it on the internet. True. But it's still fun to bitch about it.

Man, if only Chris had delivered his magnum opus two years ago and not six months after this drops. Assuming they don't delay again. Which they will.
