But if they rotate it would be a shame to not have them orbiting their sun right? I mean, it's just flopping three thingamabobs in the procedural generation settings file right?

Then you could also make a cartography ship/profession!

Can't put a price on artwork of that calibre.

But really, you'd have thought that selling products that were literally worthless would have a tax benefit when you ship them to people. A customs form with "Worthless junk, honestly you couldn't give this stuff away. Technically you should be paying me" under the value column is more what I'd expect to see. I guess they couldn't fit that on so they just wrote $1.

Stunned by the fact they are actually saying this is a good thing. 'Yes you have been robbed blind for a badly designed chunk of metal, BUT they have said it's worthless so you get a nice tax break....always thinking of the backer '

I am fully expecting CIG to ask for $50+ for SQ42 (Chapter 1? Chapter 2,3,4 will be DLCs?) from everyone when/if it comes out. claiming "Technically its not Star Citizen, its a standalone spinoff!". I will be laughing so hard.

Edit: It would be even more hilarious when they go ahead and move SQ42 and everything supporting it into a new company, lets say ROG (Rip Off Gaming), and bid CIG farewell and let it sink.

I'm probably giving them too much credit but I doubt even CIG would pull that. Split SQ42 and give backers the smallest slice, maybe.

Berious posted:

This is what people keep missing. In Chris's vision, it's all about THE FUTURE. He's not designing his game for PCs available now - he's designing his system for the new quantum computers OF TOMORROW (available 2035). I realize not everyone here has access to a time machine so I took the liberty of jumping ahead and have verified the following:

- You will need 4 quantum Astek™ processors with PSI-com interleave
- Cold-fusion power core with unobtainium casing
- Monster™-cables for the neural interface
- Silver clearance or higher for Earth-Gov holoweb access

Now I was rather impressed, personally. With the above setup I was able to get a stable 25 FPS when getting out of bed. The game only crashes once per hour. They still don't have all the ships in, and the ships they do have don't fly or feel right, and you still just have the one generic spaceman. But they did finish with the following:

- Birds (they just sit in your hangar in cages)
- A second star system
- A sniper subclass (this puts a patch on your uniform that says "Snipur" - spelling error to be fixed in a future patch)
- Wave 67 introduced an entirely new class of jpegs that allow you to design other jpegs
- SQ42 celebrated its 100th non-interactive OmniTube demo reel and is nearing completion
- Vanduul had to be replaced when we were contacted by a real alien race of the same name - they were not amused - new aliens to be called the "FightFuri"

It still looks like poo poo though.

of course it's only worth $1, it's a small metal card

As shabby as that is, $1 value for every $1000 spent is the best return on investment any whale's going to get out of SC

Hey now, just because you can get them cheap doesn't mean you have to. It looks like these bad boys can cost upwards of $3 each!

…but yes, the value is probably overstated by a factor of 5 or so.
