It wasn't an ELE that wiped out the backer funds. It was Tristan Timothy Taylor.

Hello Commandos
Space games, I've made a few
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And nothing more, but by extension
I fleeced each eager nerd
And may I say, not in a shy way
But less, much less than this
I scammed them my way

reading a post where a guy complains that sitting doing nothing while quantum traveling is boring. some of the responses are really :psyduck:-ing me out for some weird reason

quote:

There are time sinks planned while in QT:

- Engineering tasks (Checking your comps, power, life support, etc...)
- Taking care of your character (With I cache, you will be able to store food and water and use this time to eat and drink in your ship). With other things coming like taking a shower and using the bathroom etc...
- Manage your inventory: With Icache, no more magic inventory, you need to manage what you wear and what you store on your ship.
- Recreational activities: Playing pool, cards, Sim pods, etc...

Obviously the intent isn't for you to AFK while in QT. Icache should open up some of these features.

One thing I wish they would add is an In-game radio station(s). (An NPC in the verse having a broadcast to play music or even doing fictional lore interviews). Something like would really help during long travels.

ah yes. this long period of inactivity will no longer be boring because i can press a button to make sure a screen is still green. plus i can press another button to get a water from the fridge and press another button to drink it so I don't die. Ooops! can't forget about pressing several buttons to make my dude drop a duce while I'm waiting. poo poo, am i wearing the same socks i was wearing yesterday? gotta remember to buy more socks at the loving space walmart. and maybe i can play pool with my crew when they're also not making GBS threads out of boredom. because that isn't one thing we'll try once and never touch again. and i'm sure that the physics model which cannot handle humans and ships flitting through space will absolutely be able to recreate a perfectly fidelicious billiards mechanic that will be as engaging as a real game of pool. in fact, why am i playing a video game when i could just be playing pool!

More like operation hold the can .... you see there has been issues with locating roads to kick the can down. The main problem being is they lost the road map and now cannot develop a new road map without a road map .... its a dilly of a pickle there in.

Yeah coming out with a vague promise of a roadmap to a roadmap for a game that’s five years late after a year of virtual silence, and only because the backer discontent finally spilled out into the games media, finally broke through a lot of Citizen’s brain disease. “Maybe CIG doesn’t give a poo poo about us the game will never be finished?”

Here's what I think the Star Citizen "Ship Pipeline" is like.

CR : We need a ship.
Designer: What will the ship do?

CR : Ship must sell, must be cool, *opens Netflix and searches for a space movie*. Like this one!
Designer : Sir, but thats....

CR : Doesn't matter, get it done.
Designer: *obviously concerned* will get the team right on it.

Several days pass.

Designer: Initial concepts are done along with some beautiful artwork to go along with the ship launch.
CR : *Furiously shuffles through the papers*. BUT THIS ISN'T COOL ENOUGH. It needs to have more ... things poking out. This doesn't look like a PIRATE SHIP.

Designer: But we follo....
CR : REDESIGN IT NOW.

Designer : Right on it.
Time passes.

Disco : Hello everyone! Welcome to ..... And this week we'll be unveiling our latest ship! AND boy are you in for a treat
Trailer plays.

Money is spent.

Rinse and repeat and you have an infinite money generator!

Is that really a costume? It looks like the head part has no holes for eyes or breathing. Maybe it's a huge doll?

Not that the breathing part has stopped the Citizens before (insert self-asphyxiating cos-playing man from last years poo poo Can).
