Gotta love the new "jpg" is proudly advertised as "straight to flyable" from announcement to live, so buy now. Meanwhile, you've still got ships bought years ago that have not been seen. I mean I know it's not new behavior, but seeing the "straight to flyable" advertised as a good thing makes me think of that.

Oh, and this is the interdiction ship, because you gotta keep escalating to keep the jpb money flowing.

Wow, a lot of salt on Spectrum about this ship, and the enthusiasm seems muted on Reddit. I'm sure as soon as CIG announces something they care about the shills will be back, but this one seems like a swing and a miss so far.

Once it gets fully released I'm sure the astroturfing accounts will start pushing it hard.
It's "unexplainable" how the pattern is new ship announced, reddit complains, new ship released, everyone talking about how great the new ship is. It's almost as if all the people who pop up after the ship releases are just there to hype/sell the product. Odd I know.

Does Chris celebrate his conception every year?

Real games have anniversary celebration parties. And Star Citizen is nothing if not spending huge amounts of money on pretending to be a game.

Project Management DOES NOT work this way. We always identify critical paths and potential roadblocks and then, I know this is crazy and I don't understand development INTYOOL 2019, we take steps to minimize their impact. This is why competent PM's can give very accurate estimate on delivery dates.

However. I will concede this is what project management looks like when you have a constant revenue stream from morons.

That's the Star Citizen way.

By this criteria, on a smaller scale, yes it did. Julie Uhrman transitioned from CEO of OUYA to a marketing executive for Playboy. So...a success for the only person who really mattered.

Star Citizen is a better version.

It’s not even an Uh-Oh anymore. They have admitted to making pretty demos for the yearly con-job. Sure they do not shout it from the rooftops, but it’s very much a “everyone knows that, who cares” from the faithful by now.

Not everyone knows that, and it’s deceptive as poo poo still, but for the cult, it’s fine.

What does FUD mean anyway? Been seeing it pop up all over the forums lately.

This is an actual request for info, not a joke.

Tippis described the term in detail, accurately, and well. But if the term is used incorrectly, the common derision is instead of FUD being "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt", it is "Facts U Dislike"

In these chucklefucks case it's almost always "Facts U Dislike".

Not that I muster much energy to care anymore in TYOOL 2020.

Neither? It's still an IT worker, and thus a waste of carbon. Personally, I don't see why you need a business suit to lie and steal from your employees. And let's be honest, that's the only role of suit wearing professionals.

So working in an office means you don't need to have any standards over personal appearance? Shirt and trousers for employees is too much of an ask these days? Especially for employees who are willing to represent their company publicly?

I don't have hang ups on clothing, but the workplace isn't the living room or the back garden or even the local watering hole.

Oh. Public facing employees are different beast entirely. But my point was, I do not see any reason for middle management to dress up in suits. You can be a worthless drain on your organization in jeans.

Ok fair do's, I'm a dinosuar, I'm not hip or cool etc :D

That all said, if you regularly interact with customers or other businesses, you'll need to impress them, so then clothing is a huge consideration. As with most things, it's requires nuance. Such as the aforementioned salesperson, in comparison to the guy running say a chemical reactor. They have different needs for clothes.

Of course, I'm ignoring all that in my posts so I can insult management and middle management.

:trustme: Roadmap Roundup - February 14, 2020

Happy Friday, everyone!

Each and every week, we accompany the Roadmap update with a brief explanatory note to give you insight into the decision-making that led to any changes. This is part of an effort to make our communications more transparent, more specific, and more insightful for all of you who help to make Star Citizen and Squadron 42 possible.

-CIG Community Team

Notable Changes for February 14, 2020
____
As noted earlier on our Valentine's Day event page, the Mercury Star Runner is slated for the Alpha 4.1 Column.

While the team is very close to finalizing the 4.1 column, and fully aware of the Gibbening, we're going to need just a little bit more time before we add it to the Roadmap. You can expect to see more information coming very soon.
