I think they could do loot boxes. Inside this box is a key for a mystery ship, it could be a Constellation, it could be a Saber, it could be a Xi'an capital ship! Their customers don't care about actually being able to use the ship. Another free idea for CIG marketing: in-combat purchases. Losing a fight? Click the Deus Ex Machina (this is a very cinematic term, Roberts will love it) button, and for a small payment your opponent's weapon system will malfunction! But then when you turn to run, they make a purchase and your navigator dies of a heart attack! Can you outlast your opponent's purchasing might?

Combat Theory posted:There goes 33% of cigs networking workforce.  I’m surprised he stuck there for three years. Just imagining the culture at a gaming studio ostensibly designing an MMOwhere a networking engineer can’t get a word in but some guy working on the 4th refinement pass of the 3rd incarnation of a some 50000 poly helmet probably is working on mission critical business just cracks me up. Keep doing what you’re doing, CIG!

They've been teasing lootbox content for years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYEbPv_GMnc&t=131s Tell me citizens wouldn't lose their loving minds over some boxes that had a chance to contain skins like that.

Beet Wagon posted:lol I just noticed the video description http://www.24australia.xyz/video/watch/the-tesla-avern-part-i-car-commercial/14242-24australia quote:The brand new deal between Intel and Tesla has brought us a step forward in both luxury, speed, and class. For only 200$ down, you can reserve one of these beautiful cars. They're reportedly going to be sold publicly around the newest sale, straying away from everyone's initial thoughts of the vehicle being forever locked behind a rather expensive Intel purchase. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful machine, and a joy to drive. PART I of III (People talking about "Star Citizen" will be banned.)

Their customers don't care about actually being able to use the ship. I'd like to see them try. Their consumer base is still stuck on "No subscription fees!" Star Citizen loot boxes would be the best gift they could give to the Evil Goons and Derpy Shart. You can't sell an $850 pull on a slot machine for a ship. Maybe $5, but then anyone who bought a ship outright would be pissed at the people who won one, and anyone who won only a purple hat would also be pissed. It would wreck the sales environment they are milking. That second thing, cards for combat advantages, I think that would get death threats sent to CIG.

On the other hand, these are people that will bend over backwards to just thousand dollar ship purchases as not being pay-to-win. The situation is already a parody of microtransations; might as well see how far people can be pushed.

You guys aren't thinking big enough, they are not "loot crates" they are "prize hangars". Forgotten hangars that have been locked forever and for which you can buy a key. Nobody knows the contents but they may have any sort of ships inside!

Huge concrete wall, rain-slick streets, signs in a strange Xi'an language, sinister men in trenchcoats giving the signal.

The only thing I know is that the reddit masses are getting restless. Right now negative threads and comments are getting upvoted and the shills cannot contain them, there is 2-3 per day with hundreds of skeptical comments about the game. Like, six months ago stuff like this would generate a billion downvotes and have some of the knights attacking it immediately:  Nowadays? nobody really cares, it gets some upvotes, but it is no longer a debatable topic. Citcon and its procedural city planet stuff only bought them less than a month of good faith this time, so I doubt any brand new ships and the like will be effective. They need to release 3.0, and it has to be not complete poo poo, for CIG to have a funding chance.

Last year backers got pretty pissed off after they bought $10,000,000+ worth of lies during Gamescom, Citcon and the Anniversary sale. By the time the Holiday sale rolled around and it was obvious 3.0 wasn't coming out they had some negative threads that were so popular they were hitting the most popular on reddit for having 3,000 - 4,000 upvotes extremely quickly. Luckily the mods of r/starcitizen were able to delete every single negative thread and leave only the dreams intact. Those people didn't go anywhere though so I expect waiting another year to be at the exact same position being repeatedly pushed into sale after sale after sale will boil over into some salt again.
