When that weirdo interviewing Roberts in the latest video looked at the camera and smiled, I straight up thought we were in a lynch movie for a second. Like that same level of lynchian uncomfortableness that he's perfected, Roberts and this loving weirdo apparently are naturals at.

Sandi really should take a masters class in acting from Roberts.

The Community team has been planning a wide variety of activities for you all to participate in throughout the year and into next, all coupled with sweet prizes. So even if this contest isn't for you, we’ve got some exciting opportunities coming for you to leave your mark in the Star Citizen universe. (Seriously, we're doing more contests in 2018 than EVER before!)

Sounds like 1) sales are drying up and they're getting desperate to drum up support, 2) fired all the people who used to pump these commercials out

both great things for star citizener

Can't wait for the stories of the janitorial company who were offered jpegs in lieu of payment

good info

so pretty much like US corporate structures and in the end Roberts will walk away with a new boat....gently caress.

The thing I don't understand is, the citizens consider themselves investors (lets pretend), so at some point isn't Roberts lying to his investors about the viability of the product they're putting money into? Even if we consider them just customers, is there any case law or precedents that would allow any sort of punishment for Roberts & Co? Like I get we live in the dumb age of caveat emptor 4eva but like, if that Elizabeth Holmes lady lost the majority of her cash, is there any chance any sort of justice will ever fall onto this trainwreck?

e- this is why illegal markets are so much better in a way, you gently caress around and you get got. I mean you can get got for other reasons, but there is a certain honor. You gently caress enough people over and it's assumed you best start a new life.

Anything used to promote the future success of something using bogus numbers actually falls into an interesting gap, so the funding tracker becomes a pinless grenade of sorts.

Could you elaborate on this bit. My understanding is it's sort of like a sort of securities fraud where you're giving false earnings reports to inflate a stock, which I feel like I've read at least one or two cases where this was very important. But I also remember the one accounting class I took and that gave the impression that all accounting is basically fraud at one level or another.

But to what level of the tracker not being real would this be an issue, like lets say they're only 10% inflated is that okay? Is it only an issue if we start getting into the doubling of it (90 million actually raised)?

Pardon if my terms are all rear end backwards, I havn't been in the formal economy for almost a decade at this point and it confuses the poo poo out of me.

I have.

NPC ships. Bounty hunting missions (which randomly spawn NPC ships) and a variety of other content.

I don't believe that they implemented some magic unnamed tech into 3.2 that improved performance.

I believe they stripped the PU down quite a bit and the result was increased performance.

but what about the 9-10 NPCS for every citizen in the 'verse fantasy? Thankfully the code whisperer is busting out that OCS thing for 3.3 so all is good in the verse.

i think its because like many much more eloquent posters have pointed out, space worms have infested Roberts brain and he hasn't actually had an original or interesting or well thought out idea since the 90s., possible ever.
