It really does hit CIG right where they thought they would be two years ago. Instead of being at the forefront of a great movement of space sims, they're likely going to miss it completely.

Good job Chris. Way to learn your lesson.

It doesn't matter how many games come out that do things that Star Citizen promised, or that they do it better and in less time with a fraction of the budget, because none of them are going to deliver all the bullshit features that Chris has promised

Does Hellion have procedurally generated birds? Drink mixing minigames? I didn't think so; Star Citizen is still better and you're just sad and pathetic for playing a lesser game

Ah :) The security turret reveal this week. Sweet, sweet, justice awaiting those who are too... errr.... too... lacking in wits to learn :)

When I heard that short sentence in around the verse that security turrets would be present to first stun ne're do wells then dump them in JAIL? Then stun them again and put them in JAIL longer if they were challenged in behavioral learning?

I was in heaven. I could hear the squeals of protest about "I didn't know that was illegal" or "I should not lose time in a game I paid for" or "punishment for my actions? Why?" already. Music to my ears :)

I wonder if we can convince CIG to put in a leaderboard for who has wasted the most game downtime in Jail? That would be awesome.

I hope they have security turrets on capital ships and stations also - not just planets.

A verse where you can do whatever you want and pay the piper when you do it.

Thank you CIG for this first, of I hope many, game mechanic enforcements that can handle things automatically when possible.

Be merciless.

Be the righteous hammer of justice.

I know some will want the turret to be purely AI.

But I want to see an NPC manning the security turret - and I want them in the window with a big old smile of welcome ;)

Interesting read, but this one particular passage stood out to me :

"I am ex military so I used to be in really great shape until my thyroid was cooked by the nuclear ship I served on via radiation leak. This made me fat but really never affected my health in any serious way."

Unless he served in the Russian Navy this is complete and utter bullshit. Our carriers and submarines don't just spring radiation leaks. The dude was a Fire Controls Technician and would not be hanging out in the spaces close enough to the reactor compartment to be impacted by the fake leak.

Yeah it's a pretty far fetched excuse. Likely he just stopped pt'ing and thought his metabolism and body comp would magically stay the way it is.

I'm being punished for my "never running again" oath I made after separating. Well that and the combination of weed and pizza might be doing it too. It's a mystery I'll never quite solve.

One of the dumbest things about that ship is that, according to their brochure, that ugly piece of poo poo has 2 size-4 guns in the front, the same type the medium ships like the Constellation have. But it also has the equivalent of a size-7 (capital-sized) gun on the top, just for kicks, plus some more guns somewhere else yet only your regular fighter-sized power plant. So now they are not even pretending that there will be any order or logic to their subsystems and weapons or whatever.

Expect a space motorbike that is just a giant railgun with a commando on top soon.

Luckily Chris Roberts already used that one in a past Wing Commander game. But I'm sure it will make a return because these ideas are hard to come up with.

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards.

Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will.

Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect.

However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps.

Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection.

All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever.

Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable.

Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average.

Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule.

Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed.

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

I am truly coming to love the Stimpire in a bizarre bipolar kind of Stockholm syndrome

It's really not as bad as they make it out to be, you know. The key thing is not to opt for the self-controlled transportation- that will save you a LOT of grief. Remember to boo executions, and always think about loving the Stimpire. Sexual stimulation is a non-starter, and restaurants are best avoided, but really it's not that terrible. I wouldn't move there if I had a 7/14 birthday but eh. You could do worse in the 'verse! I know I don't want to live in the same star system as Chris Roberts.

And a point of order- we always refer to it as just "the Stimpire", but really it's the Fourth Stimpire we are showing our allegiance and appreciation for. I feel this is an issue of respect that needs to be addressed.

Hail Stimperor!



In the Fourth Stimpire all females must wear a small loudspeaker in their ear with a voice that objectifies and catcalls them constantly, and all males are forced to get red hair and sleeve tattoos but not enough money to finish them play and defend Star Citizen in its current state until hypernatremia sets in. Punishment for failure to comply is playing more Star Citizen.
