I don't know if this is the right place and is on topic but I was wondering of anyone could help me. I was wondering what a Ponzi/Pyramid scheme is? I'm a bit slow and easily confused so could you make a hypothetically example a simple gamer could understand. Also, while chatting with my friend at the bus stop, something was mentioned about how the final stages of the scheme may result in, and or need lube? This is strange, surly that is not true is it? Sorry to be so leftfield and off topic but some guy with a "Free Tophat" t-shirt on the bus said you a lot where really swell and could maybe help. P.S. Where does the tickling fit into the scheme?

At first it was called an "Egyptian Blueprint" but the Pharaoh didn't think it'd catch on so he called it a "Pyramid Scheme"

Would not you need some great leader that would only come about every few decades, are there any of those about these days, a man (or woman) with great vision whom also as great support from their amazing partner? Sounds great, where could I go to get in on making history and contribute to some best dam pyramid scheme ever, surly if I did it would return great wealth to me. Looking forward to being rich as! By the way, there was some funny guy on the bus home dribbling and mumbling to himself about a 'Dennis Shark' and making pew pew noises and gyrating his hands all over the place - he had a t-shirt with r/starcitizen +42 karma on it, was weird, if I see him again should I offer him help?

It's best not to offer help, as they will first entice you in like a crack dealer to a first time user talking about things like "It's the greatest thing to ever breach this era of mankind" and "wanna 'chase the dream'?" Next thing you know, welcome to the church of Christ Robbers

Pyramid Scheme is sometimes used to describe a venture that is likely to persist for a very, very long time, just like the pyramids. It also implies that it's "steady as a rock" and "very carefully planned and executed"

315P EXPLODES WHEN ENTERING STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1 Interact with 315p entrance ladder ACTUAL RESULT I used the ladder to enter the 315p, my ship then started spinning and then exploded EXPECTED RESULT For me to enter my ship without it exploding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXMTP7spzHE

EXPECTED RESULT Something like "Ships Powering up" or else, but not System Failure Imminent, I mean im a bad pilot but thats mean  See the ship. Traveled forwards. I'm testing with a Mustang Alpha at the moment. I haven't tried to reproduce yet. smooth landed ship (at Auto mode?) After waking in the Olisar Armistice Zone i did not expect any weapon to be in my hand. chat should fit within screen size Laser beams should be aligned with the Panther barrels like on other weapons. Game should've looked normal I dunno, you get out of bed and tell me what you expect. HUD shows weapons group, power and shield management WHen you engage the pirates, after few seconds it's possible that you get a black screen and the game crash. You can send a report at the end. Maybe you can fix that problem or make a possibility to make permanent decisions how the Weapon Groups have to be. No black spots when not in cockpit view, there should be some logic to point 'gimballed' guns along the nose of the ship. When i connect to my hangar, I wish to see all ships and items i put in hangar .... On holding F I should go through the animation and get out of my seat to be able to leave the cockpit and move around. Your point of view from the cockpit should be clear of your own body. Chair facing front while someone is seated hopefully being able to use this controller or told what type dose work with the game Ship should not explode and player should stay alive When you spawn a ship, the ship should load and no crash should happen. The doors should stop me from glitching through them. Ships should be somewhat more solid  Remain in the ship and complete the mission expected sights to show on guns. iorn sights, sniper scopes, ect. To be able to dog fight without blacking out so fast or easily maybe nerf the Gforce affect Guns and thrusters continue to work, unless damaged in combat. Chosen gun equipped without the ballistic pistol stuck in right hand. pirate voices don't play while at port I should be able to interact with the ship commands using the "use" command to pilot the ship, close and open the door, use the turret, etc should have ammo in my main guns when i spawn in my ship .... Character is able to stand in the airlock with an equipped rifle. Rifle would be stowed away when entering pilots seat. I want be able to scope, unscope with weapon without be stuck without scope ^^ I do not expect the game to crash as a direct result of using a weapon type death summary should disappear ACTUAL RESULT Sometimes when i respawn i'll have a ship attached or a ragdoll dead body in the cockpit of my ship (Avenger) EXPECTED RESULT Nothing attached to my ship or anything in cockpit EXPECTED RESULT Entered an industrial ship focused on fueling with realistic design, med bay, real airlocks, and crew access. I understand that this is not a high priority verses other features in the game. My hope in this report is to get CIG to acknowledge the design flaws of the starfarer and maybe through community voice we can get a reply either for redesign or not. I will be getting rid of mine if it is not slated for redesign. Please see this post for further details. https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/344585/starfarer-interior-fraught-with-questionable-design-choices/p1

Throw them some loving greybox level and openly proclaim that you now go even more open with development, and you are now so close to release, that it is important to get the community even closer to them by giving them even more unfinished poo poo. It should buy you couple of weeks and the shitizen would feel special, totally see progress, and maybe even open the wallets again. Heck, throw them some item 2.0 demo environment. Anything to keep their brains from starting to realize what is happening behind the scenes. You know, the cheap way out, like giving a kid some candy so it stops nagging you. Don't get me wrong, I love how this currently plays out, but I really struggle to believe that no one at CIG thought of this as some kind of "last resort" to buy time because poo poo takes longer than expected. Then again, they already said that the stream next week will mostly revolve about ships, ship pipeline, and more concept sales.

PS: the community is actually begging for this. Every thread in the brown sea regarding the missing SQ42 demo and 2.6 has a huge amount of backers basically saying "release it at current state so we can see something, we understand it isn't perfect. we just want to see some progress". If the shitizens are this dumb, why not serve them?

What is the list of currently implemented (working even in early state) tech features in the alpha builds that would get someone excited about this project at this state, after 4+ years? I mean, the features that would make someone go "hey that's really a smart and unique thing they did with that engine; I've never seen anything like it" and get their hopes up for the final product. Is there even such a list? Or is it just ship jpegs, promises of a perfect integration of dreams, and demos of mystery secret builds (which arguably also are mostly unimpressive and hint at dull gameplay) ?

They can't even scrape up some 30 seconds of good looking footage of Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson and above all Mark Hamill, what with the new Star Wars movie coming out, actually doing anything in the game. They aren't showing anything because they have nothing to show on that front. Same goes for gameplay, the community is blowing up in front of everybody's eyes and they are going to do an anniversary sale and not show anything that isn't R&D? No 3.0 before the end of the year? No Star Marine? Why would they be committing public relations suicide if they had any alternative? Not even Sandi is this bad at marketing. They. Have. Got. Nothing. This is going to be a total loss, WYSIWYG. This is it, the MVP.

Yeah, even last month I was arguing that they could drag this along for another couple of years but now I don't think so. The whales are turning on them bad and it's only going to grow exponentially. Community management is powerless because they can't just use the banhammer any more, I suspect they are weary of even giving long time probations for poo poo shat would have got you banned for FUD or "bad mouthing CIG" not a year ago. Anyone they silence is just going to ask for a refund at this point. Nothing can shut them up except concrete visible poo poo in the PU, a lot of these guys aren't going look the other way at broken promises any more. If they had a few dozen millions in reserve they might weather this out until they could release SQ42 and watch it full burn hilariously, but judging by the desperate fresh cash sales I don't think they do. If refunds pick up after they fail to deliver at the end of the year this might blow up seemingly over night at any point. And the cash sales were only the straw that broke that camel's back, it seems some whales were listening.
