Star Citizen isn't siphoning off content / does micro-transactions, it only supports stuff like selling in-game torpedos for real money. Custom skins? Monetized. LTI/Insurance? Monetized

Etc. etc. etc.

Shows more ability, competancy, talent, knowledge and good practice in 2 minutes and 40 seconds than CIG can in 5 years of back to back useless videos.

Why make do with a really good game when the original, also good game and a shitload of free mods are available and equally good?

Well, since you ask so nicely, because looking at the remastered graphics is nice. Besides, I have the original and Homeworld: Cataclysm and played both of them to death. Cataclysm so much I went through a lot of trouble to make it run on my modern machine plus I added some weird hacks I found online to let it run in a higher resolution than it originally did.

If someone would remake Cataclysm with better graphics, I'd take it in an instant, though. No reason to go with a frankensteinian monster-version of the original game if an easier, better looking version is available, after all.

Sort of interesting that in the Frankfurt bit of the latest ATV Chambers talked specifically about three moons around Crusader like they were the focus when it comes to seamless planetary landing. And to be fair if they actually released the ability for the sixteen players in a PU instance to land on a relatively large barren moon and drive a buggy around it'd be a display of minimum viable competence heretofore unseen from CIG.

But 3.0 is supposed to have several additional planets. SWTOR-style loading screen transitions for landing points on those, I guess. Though they've yet to show anything meaningful of those cities, and even if the cities are just tiny FPS levels like the current ArcCorp Area 18 social module it'd be a bad look to release them with no AI aside from mute male clone shopkeepers playing idle animations. So 2019.

Gonna need a Minimum Viable 3.0 to get it out before CIG goes under.

Don't forget they promised that every heavenly body will be rotating and there is no draw distance so everything will be loaded and updated.

And no LOD, too. That way objects that are smaller than a sub-pixel can still display their multimillion polygon glory.

There is only one true answer -

Fourth Stimpire Civil Meat Dog

Start with a civil meat sausage that has been soaked in diesel for 3 hours, cook over a direct flame for 15 minutes (or until it's just cinder), place in cardboard substitute bread that has been soaked over night in saltwater, grill under a UV light for 4 days then add sliced pineapple and beetroot and finish with a handful of freshly reconstituted* catte fur balls.

Drop on floor, stand on it and then eat it off floor.

YUM!

*reconstituted by self re-licking them up and coughing them back up.

Hot dogs? Those are pretend sausages that are made of roadkill and cow brains aren't they?

If I was personally going to consume one, then I'd say the best way to cook them would be to firstly drive a car over them and scrape up the remnants and fry them on the engine block of your vehicle. That way you get the 'freshly road killed' taste/smell and also it'll be like history repeating itself for the hot dog.

Or you could just poo poo in a hot skillet and eat that instead.

Past tense. I have already eaten them and they were delicious. Grilled with Batampte mustard and diced white onions on a potato roll.

I don't eat hot dogs because I don't live in a 3rd world country. But I guess a sandwich with a saucisse de toulouse in it would be an appropriate substitute.

Kosher relish. None of that sweet relish bullshit. Also, I just found a new product called Wickles that is pretty damned tasty as well.
