Look at all that content! So much open development! WHY ARE YOU WORTHLESS FUCKS NOT CONTENT WITH NO LESS THAN FOUR VIDEOS? Sure 2.2 is delayed for internal testing and in spite of promising monthly updates we're still stuck in whatever development hell has prevented us from delivering a single loving thing BUT LOOK MORE FUNNY VIDEOS ABOUT BUGS!

That link is interesting, the new youtube Star Citizen videos were starting to slow. Doing this they get more advertising on youtube, more content for backers via watching other players clip through things instead of doing it themselves. Plus more content for Around the Verse as talking about the game only raises expectations which gets them into trouble.

I think Sandi Gardiner is starting to lose interest in Reverse/Around the Verse, eating on camera is a small sign of this and with her hubby away for months we can expect a repeat of the low content months last year when he was shooting motion capture in the UK with people he finds attractive for more reason or another.

Dear Chris,

I know you like to take distinctly non-spacey things like motorcycles and submarines and shoehorning them into your space adventures. Here is a very good idea that you should seriously consider

- The Space Galley
Of course it wouldn't have oars or drums and stuff, that would just be silly. Instead, 80 crewmen will each man a separate, manually operated thruster - this makes almost exactly as much sense as manual turrets. The head commando will direct them by pointing in a direction, and they will keep in sync by... OK I lied, there will be oarsmen and drummers. Also it has a trireme-style rod in the front for ramming.

The drumming should be heard in nearby ships to immersialize their fear and awe.

You're very welcome

I would unironically play this game.

I propose the Space Galley as the first DLC ship for Solar Plebian. It start slow and weak but the more birds you collect the stronger it get.

Nice. Noted in ship ideas.

I'm legitimately considering collecting birds as ammo, which you can then fire out of your bird cannon at enemies. I feel like this would be fun. Thoughts?

Have they ever mentioned why they aren't using a real star chart? I can't find a single system on the star map that corresponds to any real stars.

Does the immersion only go down to the level of a 5th grader's understanding of astronomy before they start making poo poo up?

I like the concept of a bird cannon. Please put a little helmet on the birds though I wouldn't like the Solar Plebeian to condone cruelty to birds

As long as the game has a giant gently caress all crab enemy boss in it somewhere, bird ammo is cool.

I will have a hard time ever looking at Dolvak in a positive light after he baselessly smeared B4BG. It's the only time in this whole debacle where I actually got a bit salty.

Goons did the right thing by meticulously orchestrating his downfall through months of planning imo.

Too obvious, will get downvoted to hell. Something more akin to "Your anger would be understandable if you were talking about an expensive ship, but it is only a small scout, those things change all the time in game development, specially in an Alpha. Please get better informed about game development before screaming that the sky is falling"

The 90 days that Derek Smart gave Star Citizen was just before the important Oct/Nov sale period. It's always a risk to make predictions on something that complicated and therefore unpredictable but I think he was right to do it as at the time people could get refunds. It was an excellent way to focus minds on the fact that companies like this can go bust in that short a period of time with no warning. I expect quite a few people got money out because he said that.

There is also a certain hilarity to ignoring everything else that Derek predicted correctly, while focusing on the 90 day thing, completely ignoring that the Star Marine FPS Module was hyped for years with flashy videos by Chris Roberts and then gets binned. The thing that never appeared but generated a lot of money was around so long that it had two names.

Citizens one of these two people has taken money from you and you are holding him to lower standards of honestly than some random angry guy who's mad about you getting conned, if you want to track down that whiff of desperation I think you are looking in the wrong place.

I was thinking the same thing when I read this too actually. Also the constant references to how "she only reads the lines" during AtV, with no attempt to actually work on it. She doesn't seem to give a poo poo anymore and crappy fan videos might be the solution to spending less energy on it.

We also answered a bunch of good questions, and then talked for way too long about fast food restaurants. Because we�re cool like that.
