The game is basically finished but because of the unfaithfulness of the UNBELIEVERS our savior Roberts in his mercy and wisdom has withheld it until such a time as the world can be brought to enlightenment. The game will be finished when we're ready and we are not ready.

Still your tongues of complaints and lies. Can't you see that you are only delaying things for everyone? I have seen thing you wouldn't believe. I have been to the Fourth Stimpire. I have tasted the flesh. Hush now. Remove your tongues. Come, let me show you the light, let it change you as it has changed me.

They said it would run through Feb 28, so it's only been running overtime for somewhere around one day, depending when exactly on Feb 28 it was supposed to be turned off. However, access to the discounted game packages was removed on Feb 27, one day early (and I don't think the Mustang package had sold out yet).

What I like about that video besides the attached dead body floating around the cockpit is that the HUD is only partially obscured by the body. Even though the recticle seems to be a fixed point and would not be in the visor.

Speaking of that recticle. It is also funny how you don't even use the generated "lead" recticle when firing on a moving target. No you just fire away at your heading recticle. And magically whatever it is you are shooting at get's hit.

This game just gets shittier the more they develop it.

Final sales figures on the limited stock items:

Aurora starter package warbond edition: 2000/2000 sold (100%)
Mustang starter package warbond edition: 1874/2000 sold (93.7%)
Starfarer Gemini: 173/500 sold (34.6%)
Starfarer Gemini two-pack: 4/250 sold (1.6%)

Total take from these four items: $196,890

Note: the Mustang starter package was removed on February 27 sometime between 14:17 and 18:15, UTC time. It's possible it sold out in that time but I view that as unlikely.

If ToastMoMa wants to burn some money real fast, he should get into actual amateur motorsport. Driving stuff fast for real delivers an adrenaline rush much higher than simulated motorsports (iRacing) or remote piloting something.

Ehhhh it's a one month old account with only two posts, both of which are in the refund subreddit. I'm not saying it's a false flag (and it doesn't really matter if it is) but it might be.

Then again could just be someone who made an alt account to announce their refund so their main account doesn't get burned.

Was hugely interested in the projects early kickstarter days, then forgot about it. Saw a thread on teamliquid and asked about the whole thing. First heard about how south everything is going. After a little googling it was frontier forums and SA. My god, my heart was broken.

Gently go fiddle yourself, Chris.

I'm actually amazed at how involved the devs are with the community and how open their communication is. So far they have been extremely responsive and straight forward with questions about their scope and production. Oh I plan on getting this one very soon. I want to see just a little more water go under the bridge to see if they are able to sustain that goodwill and production pace.

Well, to be fair, nothing compares to Star Citizen when it comes to vision. You can do anything in StarCitizen. Anything at all. The only limit is yourself. Welcome ... to StarCitzen. You can do ... anything in StarCitizen. The infinite is possible in StarCitizen. The unattainable is unknown in StarCitizen.
