Before MoMA appears and tries to say that the "Drake Pipeline means it will be flyable this year" someone please find where Ben or whoever said that no more ships would be in the PU past the vanguard or whatever back when they admitted they need to release a product and can't have never ending concepts be promised upon release of the PU.

It wasn't when Chris Roberts said "Minimum Viable Product" which is related, but Ben or someone directly stated that a certain ship was the stopping point for the PU release and everything else had a release date of "After the PU"

There's no point to doing this, Moma and people like him believe what they want to believe. Also nothing anyone at CIG says means anything anyway.

An actual Pinto would be a better space vehicle. You wouldn't be thrown off the instant it starts moving, and it only explodes when hit from one side, as opposed to from any side. It's probably more compact too.

I feel like they're going for quantity here rather than price, at $35 the shitizens who aren't totally disillusioned yet will probably still buy a few. With more people starting to go 'hey wait a minute' after the ToS change etc, I doubt they'd manage to sell them for the extortionate prices of previous jpegs

e: catte tax



Wait a minute, okay. I am not always a smart commando, so I could be missing something. But they've released a lovely TOS that has a bit in there about how it applies (I think) to new purchases and anyone who logs into the PU... and then right after have a big sale on a ship that is "reasonably" priced, to the point where even citizens on the fence after the TOS change might be tempted?

They have steadily been losing people that are actually rational / reasonable and are boiling down to the most deluded backers. But even MoMA either was outright lying or just simply didn't know that none of the ships are planned for the next couple of YEARS, so that might prevent at least a few more people from tossing money in. CIG does this themselves with things like that cartoonishly evil TOS but there might be people out there that go "Wait, what?" When you repeat CIGs own words back at them.

I bet a lot of people have no idea that these ships aren't even being worked on and are expecting to fly them sometime this year, and don't know that its Now---->SQ42 (2017?) ------>PU (2017/2018/2019??) ------>Work Begins on queue of ships which is becoming longer with every concept sale. (2018-???)

This shitshow is entirely dependent on the hopes and dreams of people too delusional to admit defeat, but something that isn't widely reported (like these ships aren't even in the planning stages yet) might shake some more turds out of this butt.

I think he said this off the cuff style a couple months ago on RtV. It was combined with the usual wol eh dop shtick, but I do remember it. Perhaps doing a few searches focused on the inn site via the google hoping for a transcript hit.

Moma only responds to posts he wants to, or when you really annoy him. He's not here to talk about Star Citizen, not sure why he is here but the point remains putting any effort into talking to him is a waste of time as he'll just ignore anything that doesn't fit with his beliefs. Maybe he does work at CIG, I dunno, I don't think he's Octopode anymore.

On top of that none of this poo poo is seeing release, so it doesn't matter anyway.

Edit, maybe that sounds harsh, let's just say my effort days for digging links and quotes up are now limited, I used to do it a lot. Not trying to stop others doing it.

I'm not doing this for MoMA as his posting is less than worthless, I just literally thought they weren't doing concept sales anymore and the fact that none of these ships are even being worked on is pretty relevant, especially when I just read about 50 messages from True Believers expecting to jump in this thing any day now.

I'm pretty sure it was an image of the CIG forums with the brown background / yellow text where Ben or somebody said essentially that none of these concepts would even exist if the PU came out tomorrow.

Oh right, I vaguely remember a comment about ships after X wouldn't be in at release, it will be on INN somewhere. They've never said no more concepts to my knowledge, that would be crazy talk.

[Is it CIG’s current plan to have all announced ships flyable at commercial launch?] No? Depends what you mean by commercial launch. You can buy the game right now, so technically it’s been launched commercially. Everything from before the Endeavour should be before the end of the Beta.

I trip over comedy all the time.

I mean derek's a decent enough guy and fun to have around, but goons have been making fun of SC for far longer than he has and unlike SC backers, nobody here is around out of some sense of misbegotten loyalty to a slapfight between game dev personalities.

And before we were making fun of Star Citizen, goons were actually on board with Chris Roberts' fever dream until his incompetence became too obvious to ignore.
