Here you go:  If you're having trouble spotting it, the ship is the ugly, dark-colored blob in the middle of the frame that appears to be made out of black hole or some futuristic light-absorbing material.

After all, Ben probably doesn't know what assuage means and just went with it because he thought it was another of Sandis fat 'jokes'. the substance that runs through Ben's brain is not pure blood anymore but a mixture of 50% sugar, 40% Cholesterol and 10% lies

Although I'm not gonna get to hooking up the sound engine for Solar Plebeian until next week (just for basic ship sfx), I've been thinking a huge source of comedy could be the ship's computer voice. Here's a quick idea dump of some stuff the computer could say. Please feel free to contribute your ideas. quote:Goonrathi ship voice (authoritative and falsely robotic, with emotions slipping through):

fuctifino posted:In the Batigirl interview, Sandi says that it's far easier to work an extra 2 hours each day than to hire 3-4 extra people. And she implied she does't have any dates or milestones within the game (probably because there are none full-stop). She loses her composure whilst talking (at around 14m mark), and I'd love for GORF to do one of his great analysis of the interview

So in the last week. Star shitizens have insulted a poor old cancer ridden gamer. Cig has released a ship that should have 2 seats instead of 1 and director of star ships doesn't know how that happened and the she devil dropped off 3 cases of donuts in front of people that desperately need to go on diets for their own health. Oh and they hosed over their own forums because beer figured out how to post again. I love this game.

From what we've seen for months on end, and a few bits and pieces years ago, I'm kinda getting the impression that Sandi is just riding this giant scam, and that she doesn't actually do anything, and that the only reason anybody is ever even nice to her, is that she's the owner's wife. JUST my innocent impression though

I started summarizing the stimpire post into something more digestible (more than civil meat anyway), kind of a cliff notes for anyone who hasn't bothered to read it all. Maybe if someone has artistic talent and lots of time they could make a travel brochure from some of this: The Hilarious and Unseemly Truths of the Fourth Stimpire, Abridged At a Glance

Seriously, I'd like to say it's not Chris Roberto's fault. Freelancer was awesome if you were willing to put some lore into it yourself. I also liked how after you were done with the single player game and decided to go through the outskirts of the galaxy, you'd find out you were barely equipped to handle the packs of outcasts/corsairs/maybe bounty hunters.

Except after awhile it wasn't microsoft, rather it was some zealous germans and really capable english people that tried to make more of whatever the original promised. If you took a look at some freelancer mods, you'd probably take a step back, because honestly, a good chunk of people were expecting more. It really is weird to me that eventually after a few years, the modder's last bastion of Freelancer Multiplayer was through the discovery mod, which was, by many accounts, in the server rules a very comprehensively fan made rulebook governing (by my accounts, stifling) holding people that wanted to do stuff down, according to the only haven that freelance had left. Other than that as i know of (at least 3 years ago) The Freelancer Hamburg server had SOME people.

Should be simple enough for Ben to dig through and find which document failed to describe the 2-seater-ness of the ship

Watched the Sandi interview. Sorry for a wall of  .This was not, unfortunately, the wonderland of goodness that Sandi offered last time. AP posted that in and rightly noted it was AMAZING. (Seriously, watch it if you missed it!) First takeaways... 1) Do backers pay to fly the Roberts' three kids to Manchester when Sandi decides to bring them? 2) A $550 HOTAS?! Bloody hell is that really what they want to charge for that goofy monstrosity?! (I'm laughing thinking about that MadCatz conference call where they spoke bullishly about their partnership with Star Citizen... It's embarrassingly hideous. One of the goofiest looking co-branded products in tech. [i]"Get a Warthog, citizen! THAT thing isn't going to prompt snickers from visiting friends and might even prompt gadget envy from fellow overcompensating boymen!"[/url] 3) "Everything under control-- situation normal." (Mad props for turning in a loopy, not-a-care-in-the-world performance, Sandi. The softball questions made it easy, though.) 4) I know we take this for granted right now but I'm still amazed at how breezily talks about her ongoing acting career. She's had old RtV episodes purged from Twitch to remove proof that she auditions a lot-- yet does end of year livestreams and fake Scully interviews while tatted up for stuff she's in the middle of filming. No matter how often she tells tales off her workaholic schedule (up at 4am to answer emails from the UK! Answering 1800 trouble tickets over a single weekend!) -- the fact remains. She's acting in indie movies and auditioning for new parts. She sure as hell isnt telling her agent "I'll only audition on weekends" and isn't telling any directors "okay I'll take the part but we're going to have to triple the shooting schedule so we only film Saturday's and Sundays." The optics on this are terrible and why she erases past proofs of it while creating new present evidence for her divided loyalties makes no sense. 5) It's four years in and she still seems to have only a fleeting understanding of their backer demographics. 6) CIG is planning to branch into Cosplay Merch? Did I get that right? As with the $550 Hotas, it seems like their Merch plans are aimed squarely at the most delusional pockets in their ginormous whale pod. It seems a dimwitted plan when Star Citizen and the PTU are set to languish for a year while its all-hands-on-deck for Squadron 42. The growing discontent of former complacent whales are likely to doom this tactic. Why am I going to want a $200 leather bomber jacket with stupid patches on it when the ships I've spent a fortune on are unflyable or having features whittled away for expedience's sake? 7) Pop-Up parties at Gamescon! A huge booth sponsored by Intel! Sounds like their pinching pennies for a change. What might that mean? Honestly there's more to chew over and I'm sure AP, Neurotic Jew or others probably see stuff I'm missing but those are my quick takeaways on a content light, drama light, dysfunction light appearance. The best thing that might be said about it is that backers not paying attention might find little to worry about or question, save for the fact that she's been saying the same basic things for years.
