What's the use of a troop transport? What would you actually use it for?

What's the use of a cargo ship? What would you actually use it for?

What's the use of a motorbike ship? What would you actually use it for?

The difference is that the cargo ships and motorbikes have a utility or game play reason for their existence (moving market goods to make a profit/a simple way to traverse the terrain of a planet). The troop transport might have a use, but I wouldn't count on it (will there be a use case where you need to move a lot of people, but you wouldn't use a personal ship instead)?

Capital ships on the other hand have no identifiable use, aside from being a relatively weak glass cannon. They aren't really designed to be used in dog-fighting (the only form of space combat in the game), and there are no other gameplay elements that require the operation of a capital ship (there is no fleet combat, station defence, or siege mechanics). They require so many people to operate, and are such a big target, that it would be more effective to have everyone in smaller ships instead.

I just remembered the 'leak' where there was 4 or so hints and it ended up with a note being on that algorithm book site and it just said 'let me loving finish'.

Good times.

I'm your friendly reminder that the Final Fantasy ship thing was originally billed as a "boarding craft" because they had planned to implement a feature that would let you cut through the hull of another commando's ship to force your way inside. This was quietly nixed when they realize how totally loving impossible it was.

Lol reddit is hard at work trying to determine how Derek got back on SA. Sleuth it out you weirdos.

If you checked the secret forum, you'd know it was EA paying Lowtax on the down low. EA thought the game was over but no, it's not.

Also like EightAce, Derek isn't actually just one Internet Warlord. You could say he's something of a Wolf of online strategic marketing. Ha ha ha!

But don't let that get out, because if CIG discovered they were being played the fallout from it might be horrible. You could say it might lead to a mutiny. Ha ha ha!

I don't think Chris Roberts knows that word you used. That "impossible" thing. It's a feature still coming, like the rest, only a bit further out. After a few more hearty refactors and a few more tough firings of people who don't follow the vision and can't understand that nothing is impossible, you'll get it. In an MMO environment with about a million other players in the same instance.

Know why?

He's plugged it into the loving cloud is why. :yayclod:

I would Larsen a guess, but I can't say too much without giving the whole thing up. All I will say is that it's all genius, and collecting money from all sides while being a triple-double-quad TheAgent is pretty much going to go down in history. The best part of all is how nobody will believe it. :aaaaa:

But I thought everyone who buys expensive ships were rich, and were making informed decisions about their personal hobby spending money. Are you telling me that this is no true? Is Croberts really taking financial advantage of poor broke brain nerds? Say it ain't so.

I'm glad the world has people who get thousands of hours of enjoyment out of Star Citizen. That has pretty much set the bar low enough that if I ever make a game, and it is a model viewer with no clip mode, I can say it's at least as good as Star Citizen.

And then it crashes to desktop, and I can then say "There you go. You just got the 133 million dollar game experience, my friend. And it didn't cost you anything!"

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

I am going to keep this short; though I did consider writing a blog.

First of all, I have been around and an Internet Warlord for decades now. I know the drill. I've seen flamewars errupt and evolve from BBS teletype, to badly formatted Usenet postings, to articulate blogs.

I am well versed in the ways of online discourse.

I do not support, condone, nor engage in doxing.

Aside from the fact that the law is very clear on doxing.

Back in 2013, I wrote a primer on it in fact.

And there are additional resources on specifically this, what is legal, illegal etc. READ:

Doxxing: It�s Like Hacking, But Legal

The Problem With �Doxxing�

The Illegal Activity of �Doxing�: Revealing �documents or personal information� about a person, without their permission, with the intent to Threaten, Harass, Intimidate, Shame, Humiliate or Place at Risk

Basically, the doxing and stalking laws are

Pointing out someone's social media page, isn't doxing.

Pointing out that person A is really person B under an alias, isn't doxing.

Posting material that the person themselves made public, isn't, never was, and never will be, doxing.

If the above were doxing, every single person in the media would be guilty of having committed a crime.

What MoMa did here months ago, was doxing. And it's 100% legally actionable. He posted that I had a traffic citation. There was no context or reason for it to be here in a forum where we're making fun of grown men buying JPEG space ships. He posted it with malice, and with the intent to harass and harm. The only thing he didn't do, was post the actual citation itself; but anyone incited by his posting, could very well go seek it out for themselves. They never knew about it before he posted it.

I didn't dox Deloria (now banned). Though the post has been removed here, it is still on my website (post # 4905) for anyone who cares to go and read it for themselves.

All I did was out a scammer using material they themselves posted here (e.g. this post) and on social media.

Period. End of story.

There are NO rules on SA which prohibit what I did. Not a single one. Don't take my word for it though, here, go read all the rule pages

Then FAU, after emerging from what I can only imagine must have been a meltdown recovery process, switched from "doxing" to "helldumping". Which, to me - and anyone with a brain that's in working condition - was hilarious; seeing as the latter isn't even an SA rule. That aside from the fact that the very notion of "helldumping" is so far removed from "doxing", that in and of itself, is NOT a bannable offense. Probation? Yeah, maybe' it depends on the mod.

The fact of the matter is that since FAU tried to close down this forum - and failed; he's been gunning for me because not only did I have it brought back, but I was made mod. Heck, we just had yet another spat mere months ago over this same thing.

This sub-forum is moderated on a honor system. As a mod, I never had to take any action other than probating some people (4) when they cross the line. Once, after several probates, I probated someone for 30 days. I didn't perma-ban.

This sub-forum has never - ever - broken ANY of the SA rules. We encourage off-topic posts (recipes, memes etc) because it breaks from the monotony of making GBS threads on Star Citizen and Shitizens 24-7.

A LOT of people followed me to SA and paid 10 bux to be able read what I post, interact, find the lols etc. That too is a solid fact.

Yet, somehow, for some bullshit reason, FAU is of the opinion that I am not a "good" mod. The regulars here and I had a good laugh about that on on Discord, for the sheer hilarity of it. And when pressed, like the absentee landlord, he simply couldn't point out a SINGLE reason WHY he thinks I'm not a "good" mod. Not one.

Aside from the fact that I didn't even ask to be a loving mod. In much the same way that Beer4TheBeerGod and Beet Wagon didn't get asked either. He made them mods, then installed an IK buffoon who subsequently shat up my nice sub-forum, while attracting all the rear end-clowns from FYAD and elsewhere - and who otherwise didn't even know we existed here in our niche corner.

This is bullshit. What the gently caress is the matter with you people; that a forum with such HIGH TRAFFIC and quality posters who are otherwise behaving themselves and abiding by the rules, can't be left alone?!? The money is going into Lowtax's coffers, so what do you care, and why be salty about it?

Look, I am not a stranger to being banned. Heck, I was banned TWICE on FDev for breaking the rules. And in both cases, it was a matter of a "shady" areas in which 1) I was using asterisk to bypass the bad word filter 2) I posted material from here on SA

So, if I had somehow broken an SA rule, and been banned as a result, it won't have been any big deal. I would pay the 10 bux, re-reg, and get right back into the poo poo-posting.

As I am 100% certain (and I have high priced attorneys who ensure that I don't do/say stupid poo poo that will get me arrested or sued) that I hadn't broken an SA rule, let alone guilty of doxing, I refused to re-reg on principle alone. And I made that clear to everyone who asked.

As the regulars here on my Discord can attest to, I said that I wasn't coming back here unless the ban was reversed. Then a group (7 at last count) of people (one of them being a backer here on SA who I had saved money by helping him get a Star Citizen refund) offered to pay the 10 bux if I came back. I still refused. Then some made the case that as long as I wasn't the one paying the 10 bux, it won't break my principles and that I should consider it.

So I did.

And here I am.

Nevertheless, seeing as there is a mod actively holding a grudge and who I believe is going to keep finding ways to either get me probated, banned or who I believe wants to see the forum die, I won't be as prolific a poster as I used to be because this is bullshit.

lol
