Sorry we call you a giant fatass so much EightAce, but the thing is, you're a giant fatass.

EightAce is not Ben.

EightAce is Ben's alter. A system is the only way he can keep his soul around the anorexic succubus he is regularly trapped with.

Massive fan of your work Cobblers. But I fear for the future of procedurally generated bird in the verse without such an outspoken champion

The birds of the 'universe still have an able defender in Germanski. No idea who he is, but his lengthy posts on the need for Chris to make good on his promise of a fully procedurally generated ecosystem are compelling.

Speaking of stretch goals & documentary films, wonder how the $14M stretch goal is coming along.



How do you turn a 4 year long slow motion trainwreck into a feature length documentary? Shouldn't they be getting Ken Burns on the case? 18 hours of jpegs sliding across the screen with a voice over is what this glorious event deserves.

Ok, is it just me or doe Hibernation Mode sound like a standard feature any open world video game should have? Either Crobberts really hasn't seen a video game in the last 15 years or they're just stupid.

The question that immediately popped into my mind was: had they not reach $14 million dollars, what exactly were they planning on having happen when you logged off? Character death? A glorious explosion?

Has anyone logged off without crashing?

Evidently if you have a bed you can log out away from ports of call. If you don't have a bed once you disconnect they turn your real-world-money ship into an AI entity & have it pilot to the closest safe landing zone. Hijinks may ensue whilst your ship is still in-verse but you are not.

Why would you want to leave Star Citizen, citizen? Using the save and quit option shows your disturbing lack of commitment to this new lifestyle.
