The position of the door-opener at 3:20 sort of bothers me. Besides being about 8 feet in the air, it's placed in such a way that the access ramp will fly out and smash your head in if you happen to be right handed.

Also, while a fun nerd party game, Artemis is still just a nerd party game. And is fully aware of it.

The kicker is that Artemis actually IS fun, but it's only because you're hanging out in a room with your friends and the mechanics are simple enough to take a backseat to the actual conversation. Neither of these will apply to Star Citizen. It's just going to be pur tedium.

the idea of a ship this size working in the Alpha is completely incomprehensible. It is a nice $300 piece of hangar garnish though.


just the hangar. there is no chance in hell of this ever making the "PU" in the foreseeable future.

Closest comparable sale so far is the Reliant (Starfarer Gemini was a weird upgrade thing so ignoring that).




Past gimmicks have been to do up to three FAQ's to promote the sale.

they have two FAQ's for this one scheduled next week.

there's a few reasons for this sale not doing so hot: they basically just slapped a big price tag on a SQ42 asset that people have already seen, its noticeably underpowered compared to other ships in the same class, and there was a negative reaction to another Vanduul ship being for sale. I imagine whatever next months concept is will do considerably better, although this is definitely a red alarm for CIG.

This may be unduly pessimistic and is just one opinion. They'll probably get a few more sales in for better ships with higher built in demand and they'll surely start throwing more SQ42 pixel porn out to try and goose sales for the "Chris Roberts Triumphant Return" / "Wing Commander 5" / Dream Baby.

But still, I wanted to add some additional details.

I think it's the beginning of the end phase too, I've been wrong before as people really are amazingly dumb, but I really think it's becoming harder to hide how deceptive the whole thing is.

I like it. Much more concise and well-thought out than my briefly shat out video. Definitely seem to be at either the stage that either something good has to happen, or it collapses in a PAAARRRPanova.
