Just noticed, they never have any drinks or anything 'extra' when they have meetings.
In my company, there is always a few drinks around the table, hell it would be strange to see no one with at least a redbull or cardboard coffee cup.

Just running through the numbers, if they do intend on selling a 'limited' amount of this new ship, and assuming it's 2,000 like past limited sales, they're trying to fill a hole of $1.7M (on top of the usual sales that Citcon generates). Maybe they're hoping to just stumble to the holiday stream with that 1.7 mil and generate more sales from the S42 stuff there?

Whatever's going on, the company can't be doing well at all right now.

All your friends are me.

If you say a item is limited you sell more of it, especially if nerds are your main customer group. Digital Items are by design never limited, they are just code, but nothing is stopping your from saying it is limited ofc.

Reason I said, copying ED was because its obvious.

SRV (Surface Recon Vehicle) - Vehicle
SLF (Ship Launched Fighter) - SNUB

Ship Landing Pad requirement S / M / L - SMALL / MEDIUM / LARGE "Ship"

Next thing I would say is that CIG will have Small / Medium / Large landing pads, you know so there's more gameplay for air traffic controllers.

Lol.

edit : Sandi was the best air traffic controller since she was a little girl.

Docking collars were indefinitely shelved because the shitheap of an engine that they cobbled together went nutso when you tried to connect two ship entities.

Our dogge is in the same position. Although he can still do stairs, just slower and slower. But I have to pick him up to put him on the couch and into the car now. Still likes to go for two walks a day, but getting shorter and shorter walks. He still enjoys playing with treat balls & bottles though. Not too shabby for a 14.5 year old mutt.

Companies wish they could pay for literally insane defenders like this

Asking for a refund on a product that has not been delivered and is three years past it's release date disgusts this guy because he thinks it's a disgusting act of fraud where you are complicit in committing felonies and an outright attack on the company itself.

This poo poo is usually only regulated to places like the Church where some of the congregation will accuse you of attacking god with your sinful ways. Wal Mart or Apple loving wishes they could get customers to stand at the returns desk and berate people with insane screeds that make no sense about how they are betraying the dream the company represents instead of returning a product for a refund that the extensive consumer laws are quite clear about.
