I am intriguided. They are running out of regular sci-fi "concepts" and they cant easily sell another ship with the same role without having a part of the community screaming "power creep" before its even released. What will it be ? Another single seater for quick cash or a new "ship as a job/class" big multicrew for the dreamers ? Hospital ship ? Taco truck ? Garbage scow ? Tugboat ? Coast Guard ?

I'm hoping for "marketing ship" and it basically does everything whenever you need it to. The graphic for it will be a big "?" and it will have whatever you want in it.

Until the release of "marketing ship 2" which will be just like the first, except all stats will be +10.

Ban this sick leaver filth goonie. The BDSSM has no need for them! Uhm, Sandi? You better handle this one personally.

Once it appears the whale will no longer give money, or the whale may scare other whales away, all the good will and trust the whale thought CIG had for them will magically not exist. It's as if CIG only cares for their money.

Good luck, backer whale. I'm sure CIG will see it your way and will give you all the answers you want. :911:

Your space man needs to eat and dance, or his dance and sandwich bar will deplete. Billboard ship will point the way.

Eventually there will be a Psychiatrist ship with a bald likeness of Fraiser Crane inside it. The ships weapons will be tears. Different categories of tears can be harvested with a $300 upgrade. Like "tears from lies" and "tears from eating cold soup with an Idiris purchased" and "tears because life is hallow like death".

So many combinations and possibilities. You'll just have to wait for the live stream to see them all!

Also, you don't have to be able to log in to zendesk to contact them. You can email them directly at support@cloudimperiumgames.com

I did email them directly. They didn't send any acknowledgement. Then I tried using the support request on RSI. It was broken for my account, but worked for an alt. Then I used ZenDesk and gave them three business days to respond.

This looks a lot like suffering.
I watched a leaked video of 2.6 where the camera was circling ships in a hangar as the colors on the ships were changing. This was showing off some of the different color schemes that people can use to customize their ships. The idea of being able to customize stuff is cool to a limited extent but it's also probably going to make some people mad that are more towards the RP/Sim end of the spectrum. I know that's annoying to me in games like Black Ops III when you're trying to play a military game and there are just rainbow colored dudes bunny hopping all over the map.

Imagine if you warp in with your $2,000 grimdark doom chariot and you get ganked by a dozen guys in pink starter ships abusing the flight model to circle strafe or some poo poo like that.

I am prepared to be surprised but I don't see how the holiday sale would go exceptionally well this year.

They usually do a $5,000,000 November and a $5,000,000 December but by re-releasing all the limited ships and concepts and paint jobs for the ships they pulled in a record $7,000,000 November by milking the whales dry.

I would say their hype waves are getting smaller and smaller responses from the community by watching their forums and reading backer barometers like MoMA, but their funding hit record levels after the roller coaster ride from Gamescom Smugness -> Citcon Smugness -> Anniversary Apathy. So I don't even know anymore.

I feel like I'll be surprised by a $10,000,000 December as CIG sells a concept space riverboat casino that costs $1,200 and won't be in the game until 2020 and whatever faith my twisted soul has left in humanity will be finally strangled to death.

I said it last thread (and probably lots of other folks said it too) but the longer they take making promises, not delivering things and showing little to no progress then the faster people go from positive to negative after a reveal of more stuff that was designed to trick them into believing something was happening. The speed at which this flip is happening is getting really fast too and doesn't really require any big screw-up on CIG's part anymore.

They made a really cool thing but I don't know what they were thinking bringing it to Miyazaki. The man is all about life triumphing over technology and they present him with an AI created human ragdoll that moves in completely unnatural ways. It's anathema to everything he stands for in every way, what were they expecting to hear?

People struggle with catering to their chosen audience. Maybe it's just a widespread issue with empathy or theory of mind. They confuse knowing their audience and pitching something they think is right for that audience with pandering.
