Looks like a kitbash of all other reworked ships. Hornet turret, Racer wings, Cutlass nose + bits left from a random sprue.

This is one of the worst desing they ever put out.

It's a dumb, generic, stupid space jet shoved into a price point that makes it directly compete with all the other dumb, generic, stupid space jets. It's about as blatant a money grab as you can possibly get, and if the ~~idiots~~ backers throwing money at CIG had half a brain they would realize that there's no way the Hurricane ($175), Super Hornet ($180), Khartu-Al ($170), and Sabre ($170) can all occupy the same price point and combat-oriented role without at least one of them being comparatively dogshit. Never mind the wailing and gnashing of teeth if cheaper dedicated fighters like the regular Hornet ($110), Buccaneer ($110), Gladius ($90), Reliant Tana ($65), or Mustang Delta ($65) turn out to be just as effective for less money. Or if the difference between a single-seater ship at a multi-crew ship like the Constellation Taurus ($150) make it so that you're better off going with a Taurus.

Just so everyone is aware, if you ever find yourself in a position where $65 gets you either a Mustang or a guy running up to you from across the street as fast as he can and kicking you so hard in the genitals that he falls over, again and again for an hour, do not take the Mustang

From my experience with free grief weekends the stupid as gently caress looking wings on the mustang make it well suited for flipping over freshly spawned chariots. It's not a bad forklift

Danknificent: Nov 20, 2015; Jinkies! Looks like we've got a mystery on our hands.

Derek's theatrics led to me learn more about Star Citizen, and subsequently make the decision not to buy in. Which is to say, Derek helped me not make a 40 dollar mistake. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who has benefited from Derek raising Star Citizen's sketchiness profile.

I choose to believe that this positive byproduct of Derek's actions goes a long way to making up for his shenanigans, and I thank him for his service.

Well Jokes on you idiot, because in the realm of imagination whichever ship is your favorite is the best one!

So you can sell something to every possible demographic

Sound to me that you don't understand the simple balance game of Paper, Scissors, Rock ,Tickle, Knitting Needle, Kick to the Groin, Wavy Hands, Pledge Money.

You know, it's a perfectly simple game that is balanced as.

What if they just made all of those ships indistinguishable in performance because their flight model is poo poo and their combat system is hilariously broken?

I was always under the assumption that Derek was not going to sue anyone. When he claimed his blog would cause legal action it seemed to me that he was contemplating making a devastating claim, and that CIG would then sue him for libel. During the process of discovery in the proceedings for the libel case against Derek more damaging information for CIG would be brought to light. That is how I interpreted it, at least.

This is what I was assuming since Derek can't sue CIG for breaking the TOS after they refunded him. But CIG won't do poo poo because they're avoiding a court at all costs and will just fold to refund demands as soon as any legal action looks slightly possible.

ACTUAL RESULT
As you'll see by the screen shots, this is an abnormal state for the character to be in while in the seated position, flying a ship.

EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing, stay seated as per normal

I honestly cannot look at any of CIGs art or watch Star Citizen videos anymore and not hear White Lines because of Major Toms video. Mother loving Grandmaster Flash.

Call of Duty Infinite Warfare is having a free weekend on Steam if anyone is interested. Also, there's an open beta of the new Ghost Recon game this weekend too. These are real games that have come out or are coming out in the near future. One of them even have spaceships in it. And their combined prices are less than that of a jpeg of a spaceship you can now buy (cash only) that isn't yet available in a video game that isn't going to ever be finished.

Also unconfirmed leaks that CIG is giving it's employees and streamers JPEGs for vast discounts, while reflecting the full amount on the tracker.

So $900 might show on the tracker but WTFOSAURUS or Artist Team Leader is given a free JPEG to do a giveaway, or more likely turn around and flip it on the grey market to idiots for $825 in pure profit for the seller.

MoMA shows up sperging out about a stupid toxx with ridiculous stipulations and generally making GBS threads up the place.
