They're "archiving' them, making it sound like they're going out of their way to preserve history.

When in reality it means closing the forums to new posts and no one bothering to hit delete. A fitting end to all the theorycrafting over there.

Totally called it

2.6.3 is live

Next up, 2.6.4

I'm holding out for 2.7 :grin:

ps: Want to know how they fixed the server lag/crash bug we've all been loling about? By removing a feature. Seriously.

- Fixed an issue where quantum traveling would create severe frame rate loss.
- Removed the ability to manually adjust engine power until Item 2.0.

They call it Wrecktum or Rectum. I think its the first catchphrase they coined that didn't come from us.

Will they go full fidelity and award to female characters a reduced strenght, intelligence, luck and agility ?

Interesting. REC rewards from subscribing also keep going up and up with constant recruitment drives. Interesting.

You never disturb an autist nest, closing the RSI forums will be a gigantic clusterfuck.

Letting thousands of these people settle in for five years? It wouldn't even matter if Spectrum was actually good, just the change itself is going to gently caress with these people psychologically.

It's different than something like the SA move because Star Citizen is entirely funded by the people on their forums on an ongoing basis. Them continuing to buy ships regularly is kinda important.

Oh good. Now 2017 can be spent fixing the retarded and redundant Spectrum app and I guess we'll be getting more slides about how it's getting better. This piece of crap that is so unnecessary and secondary to everything else, no one would miss it if it never happened at all.

It'd be funny if something like spectrum kicked off the refund cascade. People are not happy about this.

What is CIG thinking? When people pay thousands/tens of thousands of dollars for your product they think they are princesses that deserve to decree how the company treats them.

Forcing them onto a new lovely clusterfuck of a forum? Lol.

My best guess would be that it'll be much easier to implement sales features into Spectrum, and also if they want to herd the whales that way they can't give them the choice of staying at their current haunts
