A couple grand. Probably got a discount since they stuffed them with water stained wood. :v:

Edit: also like to add the genius behind the design. Doors opening inward basically removes 50% of the volume. So instead of 100 Sextillion whatever to explore there are only 50.

Interesting that she calls it a gift, when the guy who made it seems to think he was directed to design something that could be deconstructed for easy transport to conventions.

Though I guess when you aren't actually making a video game, everything peripheral to making a video game that you spend that money on is technically a gift from backers.

Yes, I have walked along the path of evil many times, it's a twisting curving path, that actually leads to a charming block garden, but beyond that evil!

What a lucky company, cheap mo cap sessions cause of who they are, employees building doors from their garages for em, and now backers working with design firms on their own time and dime to have a space cupboard made for their office.

and those loaner ships, as was explained to me, are all player owned

so maybe moma was right

I can safely say that's rubbish.

1) They would need a secure UI interface to implement stuff like that

2) Why would CIG allow players to rent ships, when there's more money to be made if CIG themselves rented the ships

3) They already have the UI and backend for #2

TheAgent posted:

some of the copy going out about 3.0 reads like its a fully released game lol

I can safely said that's rubbish.

1) 3.0 doesn't represent even 20% of what they promised

2) Making 3.0 the MVP they have to know will generate a riot and spark lawsuits

The cabinet is really stupid.

I hope it was a gift because otherwise it's just stupid and insulting and dumb.

But that's kind of par for SC and the backers love being hosed so.. go for it!

The ideal timeline is 3.0 coming out and being completely underwhelming. Then, we get to watch the star citizen subreddit try to defend it and exile those who don't. Shortly after that, we'd see a collapse of CIG. This way, we can enjoy the buildup and payoff of 3.0, and we get the collapse fireworks separately.

To be fair, the exterior is pretty good work. If I wanted a thousand pound wooden cabinet made up to look like a random art asset from a failed kickstarter project that nobody was ever, ever going to recognize, he'd be the guy to call.

I'm just going to sit here and savor the concept of a person who goes "I'm a big fan of Star Citizen, I'd like to make a prop that reminds me of the game, but what? I know, the wardrobe machine!" and then spends dozens to hundreds of hours making that dream a reality.
