You can't rush greatness.

"If you are waiting for magical programming to happen, you'll be waiting a long while. CIG is trying their best and working hard to get things done. I read your post obviously, but I don't think you understand the scope of the development if you believe closing your wallet crack the whip on them.. Patches will get released as they get released. There really are some things you just cant totally rush."

Mr.PayDay: Jan 2, 2004; life is short - play hard

Ya'll are a bunch of babies plain and simple. You didn't have to donate to the game, you could just wait yet here you all are crying bc your pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre alpha isn't going on the way you all want it to. Grow up, develop some patience and realize the dev team does not cater to your crying whim's. Personally I loved the holiday stream just to see the Dev's have some fun with it, they answered questions relevant to the game's current state and where it will go next with 2.6-3.0 - but guess what... That is all test states of the game, it could all change! Personally I hope they say gently caress it and start all over so I can hear you all cry more.

A reminder for any data spergs, and anyone wanting to compare the new possible funding dive to past performance.

I think a goonrathi autist still obsesses over the daily funding, this is the continuation v2 of the old goonrathi spreadsheet and has obsessively compiled everything you could want to know about the funding tracker.

I'd recommend saving offline copies.

I think an engine change is the only trick they have left to play, it might buy another year or two.

It obviously wouldn't make any difference in the end but might keep the final spark of flaming incompetence alight for longer. Assuming Citizens keep paying, you've got to keep spending guys, do your bit.

Is there plan to say that its delayed because of legal action from Electronic Acc-.. Arts?

More importantly whats with all these 100ms+ pings. This is thier stream, on thier local machines how is that possible?

They are so incompetent that they do not have a LAN build. They are playing regular 2.6 so they have to connect to their cloud server

There's no doubt that CIG will make it to the end of 2017, at the least. 2.6 and 3.0 will be more than enough to push them through, and if need be, will give me the time necessary to offload ships (if it comes to that). I'm honestly not worried.

Well, pretty sure I am on the Spectrum, and I have zero money in SC/S42. OTOH, I did pick up another year of LastPass Premium and Dead By Daylight, with the 80's Suitcase DLC. (It is pretty cool and fun if you are a horror fan.)

This guy right here. But we were almost wrong. The original plan was to release nothing according to the newsletter right before the stream.

But so many people announced they were unsubscribing they cut out the PU and released what was left to subscribers.

Also apparently you have to restart the entire game in between every match? Fuckin lol.

Also the citizens are not happy about being mislead about the SQ42 demo that was axed. They axed it permanently immediately after Citcon according to the newsletter but they still made that fuckin Making of Documentary. loving Why.

Remember when they sold a $2000 ship that can carry 70 players and each will play a separate role and this was all part of a massive MMO and people said yup that's possible?

And then someone was like but I don't have 70 friends? and they said well you can fill it with 69 completely autonomous NPCs that will behave exactly like humans to a degree where you cannot even tell, and people said yup that sounds good?

Some of the smarter people asked 'hey man how is that possible?' and the answer was 'it's Chris Roberts!'.

I remember, just lol man.

Remember how on yesterday's stream Chris explained "progression" where you would want to start without a ship, move to smaller ships, to larger ones, etc. as if they hadn't been selling ships for 4 years for cash undermining the entire retarded speil he just gave?

Also I like how longhair dude can describe Chris's vision better than he himself can and also how you can see Chris's eyes look away when he would use terms Chris didn't know the meaning of.

Do you think it'll ever occur to them that if CIG just concentrated all their efforts on making the game, that might generate more income?

I can sympathise with CIG to a certain extent. I know when I'm making a game, I always make all the graphics first (and I'm no artist) because using placeholder art takes me out of my "game" and I never finish it.

Oh Jesus, I've just realised... I'm Chris Roberts.

- Engine change
- Consoles Release
- VR support

All of the above are possible "cards" to play, all of them will set them back and it will be impossible to recover, considering that they will all cause a backlash from their community. But I mean this is the SC community so who knows how they will spin it to justify looking at their jpgs.
