Same, and we got an absolutely kickass house near Five Points that allows us to walk to and stumble from the bars on King, and our yard for the doggos is big enough to drop a 4 unit apartment on. We really lucked out.

Now if only the Navy would hurry up and move my poo poo so I'm not sleeping on an air mattress. :argh:

This guy. I think I worked it out. Derek Smart, on some ancient BBS, completely owned this nerd when he tried to start poo poo. This event, it destroyed him. So vowed that one day, He would be the one to own Derek.

You're infected. Derek Smart is The Thing (the alien from the John Carpenter movie, not the Marvel character). He reproduces by absorbing and imitating people. Florida is already doomed.

Yeah, that's what we were all thinking.

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/63vxmt/this_needs_to_be_said/

quote:

Where is Squadron 42?

I'm not angry. I'm not raging. I'm just asking. Because quite frankly the decided muteness is kind of worrying.

And while RSI's behaviour on lots of its development has been truly amazing. It's behaviour with regards to SQ42 has been far from exemplary.

In the run up to CitizenCon it became increasingly clear that SQ42 was going to be delayed. And whenever people like me brought this up in groups or twitch we were always shouted down. We were fear monger etc.
But October came around and no official launch date had been set and the fact remains that you don't release a AAA game with only 2 months of advertising. SQ42 was not coming in 2016. It was obvious SQ42 was delayed and RSI said nothing.

Post CitizenCon RSI released a statement apologising and that's great and all. I genuinely appreciate RSI addressing the issue directly. But even in their apology something was implied that was also worrying.

Chris Roberts himself explained that they were working on a complete chapter build specifically for CitizenCon and just couldn't get it done in time. But what this also told us was that no single chapter of the game was complete. And this would mean that RSI knew well in advance of CitizenCon that SQ42 was delayed. After all, If in September 2016, you don't have 1 chapter of a 24 chapter game complete. You honestly can't expect to complete the entire game, host CitizenCon and release it all in just 3 months. Even after completing you'd expect at least 6 weeks of testing.

And you know what we're almost halfway through 2017 now. And SQ42 was meant to be something to tide us over until Star Citizen proper was completed. A game which itself is also severely delayed. Imagine you go to a restaurant and your meal takes forever to be prepared. The chef comes out and apologises and explains why there's a delay. He offers to prepare you an appetizer while you wait for your meal. But an hour later, you are still waiting for your meal. And the appetizer you were promised.

I get that game development isn't an exact science and delays should be expected. But with regards specifically to SQ42, the delay isn't the problem, it's the silence accompanying it that's worrying me.

EDIT Thankfully people have pointed out to me that I have completely misunderstood everything. SQ42 was the project and Star Citizen was the stretch goal. Sorry for my mistake. However with that being the case my concern would then be why it would appear that the majority of development energy is spent on Star Citizen. I think this is what lead me to believe SQ42 was the stretch goal
