It's one of those freakishly expensive, yet badly made things. Low to mid four figures, probably, if the brand is right. (It probably is).

Further inspection, it's a YSL bag that's no where to be found on the internet. So it's probably an ultra limited run store only thing, so yeah, four figures.

Player Relations
If Player Relations is unfamiliar to you, it’s because it’s just been created! CIG Player Relations encompasses three areas: Game Support, E-Commerce Support (formerly Customer Service) and Community Support, with Will Leverett as Director of Player Relations overseeing the global department out of Austin, Texas, and Ray Roocroft managing the UK team.

We’ve worked hard to combine our US and UK support teams into a single organization that can mobilize to expedite support for the backers, and there was no better example than the work that the team did each and every day of the November Anniversary Live Stream and Sale. Special kudos go to Kraiklyn and CDanks for doubling up on live stream support.

We spent the later part of the month preparing 2.6.0 to go to the Evocati, and a very special thanks goes to Proxus, Mac, and George for their efforts in managing the test environments. They’ve spent countless nights and weekends working on Star Marine with our volunteer testers, and we’re excited that we’re getting close to pushing the build out to a wider audience.

Neither of the (former?) community managers are mentioned.

So they showed NO new gameplay what so ever - of any kind.

They showed more art assets of which they have never been short of.

Art is not holding them back, programming is.

Where the gently caress is your gameplay Chris Roberts? I thought you where some poo poo hot game designer from the past? Why cant you show us these game system in play making true gameplay that is fun?

You make Peter Molyneux look like a gaming God (to be fair, I've enjoy a lot of his older games - Populous, Powermonger, Syndicate ect.)

Your a fake and a conman.

You and your wife are both nothing but deceptive wannabes.

Yes but, Europe got to play the match last week without much pressure, Murrica had to play their side of the same match a few hours before the stream.

1, They're still a couple big blockers that are not ready for prime-time. There's some sort of new system in place that checks obstructions in real-time and relays that to the radar. However, this is a glitch that is bogging-down some clients. I don't expect a live release (or PTU) tomorrow.
2. Ship sale with a possible new concept.
3. Clip from SQ42 demo that was previously unseen.
4. Jared WILL be there.
5. Some technical speak involving the new coding (such as obstruction/radar link) and new flight models that will be released with 2.6

Was going to say, two new ships, Christmas, bunch of cash only packages. That's in the toilet for them.

Mind you, it's really loving sad that dad's with new babies can offer a more professional stream environment while not making 100k while doing it. But that's this whole project for ya.

My 5 predictions:

  1. croberts will recite, then write a cringe-worthy missive asking for money, making excuses, making new promises for 2017
    CALLED IT! // see latest newsletter
  2. 2.6 will be delayed; and if they are smart, pushed into 2017. the schedule will be updated to reflect this CALLED IT!
  3. they will play 2.6 Star Marine on local LAN because doing it across the internet - the environment it was designed for - is shite it was 8v8 (the max before CE3 falls over) over the Internet. so much for 12v12 <--- lol @ MoMa
  4. no meaningful SQ42 reveal - of any kind CALLED IT!
  5. no meaningful 3.0 reveal - of any kind CALLED IT!

BOMBSHELL BONUS: They won't mention anything about i) no money to finish the game ii) on-going Federal investigations, iii) the fact that quite a few key team members have either recently left or have put in their notice (Dec being their exit month) to leave, iv) they are going to be down-sizing the studios in 2017

ps:

As of Dec 16th, with 2.6 still MIA and 3.0 still a pipe dream, these are the major releases this year since 2.0

v2.0 (patch notes), Dec 12, 2015
v2.1.0, Jan 15, 2016
v2.2.0, March 4, 2016
v2.3.0, March 26, 2016
v2.4.0, June 9, 2016
v2.5.0, Aug 25, 2016

And during this period, these are ALL the Star Marine updates. Yet, here we are, over a year later, and they still can't get it working.
