None of that actually happened in that image and now it's looking like they are going for 2017 for Squadron 42 and not even working on Star Citizen. Doesn't stop them from still somehow making $400,000 in a single day from sadbrains though.

Imagine with me.. You're on a planetary LZ in a western border system, sitting inside at the bar eating some space noodles, when all of a sudden, the unnerving drone of an air raid horn sounds ... "ALERT. VANDUUL PRESCENCE HAS BEEN DETECTED IN THE SYSTEM. PLEASE PROCEED TO YOUR NEAREST WARTIME SHELTER.." And then.. POOM. POOM. the unmistakable sound of sonic booms, huge, like explosions, as large ships punch the upper atmosphere. There's a new energy in the air, or it's just your nerves. Either way, you've gotta get the hell outta here. Near vibrating from the rush of adrenaline, you dash outside and flip up your visor to scan the sky. You can't see anything in the clear blue skies. You take deep breaths as your eyes adjust and you search the sky for incoming. Nothing but expanse, as far as the eye can see. Maybe it's a malfunction? You begin to regain your composure, just as a woman screams and collapses as if the life has been pulled from her body. "HOHGOD!" squeezes out of her tightened chest as she falls against the wall behind her, her head in hands shrinking. POOMPOOM. Two more sonic booms perforate the city block. That's when you see it. Up, and maybe 70KM in the distance, but unmistakable. Long, heavy rectangles, matte black and descending. It's the Vanduul. They begin to glow orange and then red as they careen burning through the atmosphere, and rotating toward your vector. And then they start firing. Weapon locks deactivate. You pull out your brand new rifle, perfect for heavy combat, and flick safeties. Your ship is 70m and a customs gate away, on the pad and ready to go. Shelter is 25m down the road and around the corner. What do you do? As men and women hustle in slow motion towards the shelter in front of you, time slows to a crawl as you analyze the moment. NLT 300 seconds they will be upon us. Will you have time? It'll take at least two minutes to make it to the pit. Tapping your mobiglas, you initiate the remote start sequence. You paid way too much to get it blown up on the pad. Plus, it's time to see if that thruster overclock was worth the creds. Turning your heel, your body floods with pure energy like you're 11 years old again. Time comes back into gear as you ramp up into a sprint, all the focus in your body on your gleaming space ship on the other side of the fence. You're gonna make it. Out in orbit, the military is alerted via Heralds, reporters and Comm Relays. Idrises, Javelins, and a Bengal a system away start to rotate, changing heading and plotting the course to warp just seconds after the message came in. "All hands to battle stations men... we are at war."

Yeah that's like Fable fantasizing turned to 11. One nerd was telling me about how they were going to pilot their corvette with their other 7 buddies all being the crew and how there are going to be 100% fully realistic damage models complete with atmosphere/compression to worry about and there's gonna be 100 other ships nearby all having some massive fight. I said 'bro EVE can't even do like 1/100th of that without turning into a slideshow' and he said I just didn't know about Chris Roberts.

Jose Mengelez posted:i personally am extremely angry that i didnt think of it first. Yeah really. I would love to sell literally nothing to people for $115,000,000, have them convince themselves they want to be scammed and then travel the world, have mansions, limited edition Porsche and all the money I could want. Even being two years late with nothing but a Crysis Mod they still pulled in like $750,000 over the weekend.

Roylicious posted:Yeah that's like Fable fantasizing turned to 11. my dumbass coworker that wont shut up about this game was talking about how he was going to be a trader except there are no items, nor any way to supply or any demand for items, nor any inventory system at all either. of course theres a page about how its going to work, maybe, possibly quote:These goods are not assigned an arbitrary fixed price at each location. Instead, we are creating an organic system that keeps track of how much of everything is available, how much it is needed, where it is needed, and what individuals are willing to pay to get it.

Yeah, on his "website of jokes" we found a little section on a local news reporter he was/is stalking.    Here's a photo of his bedroom he uploaded. We did a nerd scavenger hunt with the image. Take a look at the picture frame in the middle left.
