Toops: serious question - have you given any thought to how you'll reply when Sandi e-mails you a screenshot of your posting history from this thread along with a job offer for the position of Senior Programmer at Cloud Idiot Games with compensation of $35K/annum -OR- a STAR CITIZEN game account with ALL the .jpegs?

"And tonight, the story of how one plucky Goon used Google-Driven-Development to design a Space Farce, and beyond all odds, used his feigned expertise to infiltrate and bring down crowdfunding Goliath Cloud Imperium Games with his Davidian ghostposting in a thread full of juvenile delinquents."

This is a lovely dag. What mix is he/she? When I was little I had a dag that looked like this, border collie/dalmation mix, she was grand :unsmith:

He's actually a purebreed Australian Shepherd. They're pretty great dags, but like collies they are typically very high energy and require a lot of care.

so CIG claims they make all these youtube videos and such with subscriber money, the monthly stuff, not with sorta store or backer money

so if people stopped paying for it, they would no longer have open development?

I skipped around a lot

he literally promises:

larger server populations (soon)
birds
planetary biomes (including streams, clouds, alien wildlife, BIRDS)
a fps with parkour
no new fps stuff because it's already there
some new ship that is also another capital ship with large player housing
analyzing life forms and geography
making the hangars and stuff part of the poo - didnt follow this really well, he mentioned there's some poo inthe game and they keep watching it grow and grow

10FTC is sometimes a goldmine, but more often it ends up like today. There's only so much humor to be wrung out of him saying "yes" to things every sane person knows isn't going to happen. I get some latent satisfaction that none of the questions were about SQ42 directly, and I hope that bugs him.

I think I've started chargeback procedures with my bank, because they're asking me for:


Also I haven't formally requested a refund from RSI, I'm guessing I should go do that? I mainly put it off because I figured they'd just say no and copy+paste the same bullshit everyone else gets. If anyone else would like to chime in with suggestions feel free!

Yes, formally a request a refund. You are in a perfect situation to get one as well. Tell them that as you are a citizen of the EU the 14 day refund applies to when the item is delivered, not purchased, and that by the only TOS that you agreed to (the first one) it has been more than a year since the estimated delivery date of November 2014.

Hah, "back-end server mesh tech" @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFkTG9YungQ&t=270s... I imagine he means that they are looking at making the 16/24-player instance servers peer with one another to share their client/server simulation state in an attempt to increase supported player numbers per "instance" in the PU... I have full confidence that CIG will pull off this *extremely* complex and overly ambitious method of network simulation with as much skill and to as high a quality as they have the released modules so far.
