That really looks 100% like they just licensed discord and tossed their name on it.

I don't think that is CIG's way. I assume they stole everything and licensed nothing.

I assume that will happen when he demands that it integrate into the game

Yeah it's not been under $30k since like 2013 at least? It's definitely slowing down.

It was lower than 30k in 2015 and I think earlier this year as well. Also, (following up on other points along these lines) there are clear 24-hour cycles that are probably related to the geographical distribution of the backer population.

I am currently offering no evidence for any of these assertions, but might do so later.

It's not discord, there's a search feature which discord can't do. It's likely rocket chat which is a free open source discord/slack clone.

Yeah, there's so many of these type of platforms out there it could be any one of them, or it could be a clone that Turbulent have put together they do seem like the most capable of RSI's branches. Either way it's yet more of their 'take care of the easy bit with none of the progressive stuff' mode of operation.

[Backers] Wow, you've built a chat platform the same as dozens of other chat platforms out there! Are you gonna integrate it with the PU now?

[CIG] Err, yeah. That'll be coming in patch 3.0... or maybe 3.3 or maybe after we go live for a full release... b..but sometime! ~~DREAMS~~

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube


Great, they made a forum plus chat. Such amazing progress on the space ship game.

Pgabz is right. If you read the chat, it's all people complaining about poo poo being broken.

This is a project creating something so extraordinary that nothing like it has ever been seen before.

Don't forget space pets and location-based damage for them.

With those, you just know CIG is more than happy to take your real money so a fake space veterinarian can heal your injured pet. Or let it suffer and die if you don't want to open your wallet. Your call!

Also planetary landings, ability to add a rover module to your ship so you can drive/explore on planets, alien/unknown wreckage and "ruins" on planets

You've seen the belt. What do you think of the "coincidence" that he wears the same specialty kickstarter belt you talked at length to us about in the thread?

The chances of Toast separately backing the kickstarter and wearing it are very remote as it wasn't overly popular.
