Come on, that's obviously a bug, it spins faster than the engine explodes.

�speaking of cigphysics, why is that whatever-meter in the lower right jumping around? Is it the video editing suite identifying the headbob as unwanted jitter and trying to stabilise it or something?

What are you saying the constellation sucks at?

So far, being balanced with the number of crew required to operate it vs the same number of players in single seater fighters. I would say the ship serve no roles in itself and suck at existing but since it live in the vacuum of the PTU without the whole universe (missions, cargo, mining, exploration, ect) around i cant say for sure.

Yup.

Turns out if even you enjoy a 10 year probation you can still comment on activity.

I left a comment, but I'm more fascinated by the rest of the forum. It raises a lot of questions, like why the gently caress is there a modding-section for a game still many years from release?

Man, I thought Goonrathi was a silly idea -founding an organization for a game years from being finished, but at least it made people upset. This is totally senseless, why are there so many deluded people making fake ships for their fake game?

gently caress wait, this is Star Citizen, delusion is par for the cause. Look at this for a moment:

Galaxy Star Freighter MV Nergal That's a new ship developed as a mod. It comes with a military variant! And this is just one of many projects.

For some reason a lot of people in this forum are convinced they can easily mod the game, however it turns out. Considering how often CIG has redone their own ships, I foresee a lot of pain for these poor bastards.

Its the whole "selling dreams" paradigm at work. As long as the game stay in its unfinished state its like Helen of Troy. You get told all the time she is the most beautiful girl that ever lived, but Homer never go as far as to tell you the color of her eyes, leaving the reader free to imagine her as he or she please.

Concepts and idea is CIG main export and what they had the more success producing and selling so far, so why stop ?

Exactly. It's not supposed to be the case, but it is. Because if it sucks at combat then it sucks at everything, because it's certainly not going to be much of a freighter compared to multiple other options. And I believe it was billed as a "space superiority" craft, which indicates it should be amazing at combat. Plus a Millennium Falcon analogue, which I would say also means it should be quite capable at combat.

Just another example of continued CIG fuckups, despite the fact that it's been redesigned umpteen times.

That's a lot of it, but the "limited edition" sales, the ability to gift (sell) ships & lti bollocks for the early backers played a large part in all this. You normally have demand for something that's good, in Star Citizen for a long time you could resell your dream for more money. Having a special concierge email service for the whales was clever too, Karl/Dickwulf and their ilk think they aren't being taken advantage of and that these people are their friends.

No wonder there's such resistance to such harsh truths so that non involved people find it all disturbing and cultist. CIG have only a few days to improve the crash situation, I imagine the pressure is on considering it's in their interest to do so for the holiday sale.

At least Homer actually finished his story.

Another weird thing from the modding forum:

This guy should be payed by CIG.

Someone not only modelled a new ship for a future mod, he also wrote a complete brochure explaining what the ship does in detail. He also invents 1-2 gameplay mechanics I'm sure Chris Roberts doesn't know about yet.

This guy is basically all what is wrong with CIG in miniature format, minus the pay for his work. (And the obscene pricetag. Of course as modder he can't just demand 2k $ for his "product". :v:

LTI value has been shat down the toilet due to CIG offering it nearly constantly on nearly everything.

Refunds are reportedly becoming more difficult to acquire. I'd go straight to chargeback, then call your congressman and tell him how you feel that you've been financially molested by the director of the Wing Commander movie and his superstar actress wife. And a hobo. And the fattest person in North America.

This star shitizen is retarded, as usual. Nebulas contain less matter per volume than the best vacuums we can create on earth. You'd literally be 1,000,000x more productive mining seawater for minerals.

Don't even bother starting a refund with Customer Support, just go straight to ChargeBack City give them a believable story and you'll get your $ back and leave Cris to cover the chargeback and fee's included.

Can we get a comprehensive list of poo poo that CIG has jumped the shark with? I mean poo poo that is straight up retarded, not just poo poo that's "That seems like a bad idea" or "Ehhh, that seems pretty stupid."

Currently I would put these things in that list, but I'm sure I'm missing many:

1. Newsvan space ship.
2. Drink mixing minigame.
3. Flight attendant media switching minigame.
4. Birds.

Much like CIG has invented the never before seen technology to transition seamlessly from space to a planet's surface, I require a device that can transition from a wood floor to an area rug seamlessly. Does such a Roomba exist?

Oh be quiet you. What do you think this is? Some kind of space sim? Next you're going to say that that the Wrath of Khan scene where they play hide and seek in the space clouds isn't real either.

Aaaanyway. I suppose that the whole �sci-fi writers have no sense of scale� trope exists � the realities of space just makes everything so cumbersome that you could never get any action going. It's no different from the many variations of aliens coming to collect Earth's gold/water/almost anything, ignoring the fact that it's vastly easier to get all of that by just scooping up the closest space rock and/or planet ring. Of course, none of those solutions create a good conflict.
