How could I resist buying a new space tank after this exciting new trailer that, well, didn't show any space tanks or even acknowledge their existence.

It's full of audio synch issues - the guy cleaning the laser on the spaceship, the footsteps of the first person view walking toward Hamill, it's all amateur hour.

Can you find out which ten year old kid wrote the dialogue

I wonder how many out takes they have of Oldman jumping down the ladder (after looking like a old lady on top of the ship) only for him to clip through the floor?

So I guess now the discussion turns to: did Cribblets fail to have this trailer ready in time to show before the new Star Wars, just a few days ago, or did Disney flat-out refuse to air it due to its astonishingly low quality, particularly, and somewhat ironically, wanting to make sure Mark Hamill wasn't shown at such a low point right before a high point?

We may never know.

It's probably going to simply noclip over generic terrain until it gets stuck an a rock the size of a fist. Then it will get flung into space, twisting and turning at thousands of feet per second.

I was going to chime in that the only way space tanks would ever make sense (they dont) is if being on land was going to be instanced with no fly zones. But then I remembered that backers are literally the Dumbest People On Earth and this "game" isn't actually ever going to be released.

Derek said none of his sources knew about that, so he doesn't believe it's true.

There was word that nobody knew about land sales before CIG went live with it, and that most of the devs were surprised. Derek was caught off guard as well.

I think the truth is, CIG is hiding everything it can internally, because it's so terrified of leaks. Sounds like a wonderful way to run development.

In the vacuum of information, rumor lives, and I choose to go with whatever is funniest. CIG intended to have that clip as the pre Star Wars trailer, and crobbler felt that everyone's first introduction to the game should be by shoving a repulsive self-important rear end in a top hat in everyone's face, and not showing any space stuff whatsoever.

Its a driveable ramp, it destroys everything in its path, that is how it can get over rocks.

loving space tanks.

There is no actual limit to what Crupercalifragilisticexpialidociobberts will sell now that he's realized the scam is wide open. Tanks? Bikes? Planes? Land sticks? gently caress it, there's no game, so there are no limits! Weather balloons! Why not be a space meteorologist, with your Weather Van telling commandos when it's safe to mine precious minerals? Space Cherry Pickers to repair Space Things at the tops of poles your tank can't reach! Underground bunkers! Your own asteroid! 1/4 of the rings around a ringed planet! (Rings not guaranteed to not jitter.) There is no logical boundary here - everything you can imagine can now be sold. Crincredibleedibleeggobberts has distilled his backer base into the purest walking wallets ever seen.

You always have to be pushing over the horizon. If you're not convincing people that tanks and the means of moving tanks is vital to the game being released they might start asking at what point they're going to invest themselves in producing the things they said was vital to the game being released 2-3 years ago.

Absolutely nothing has acknowledged the existence of mbt's in SC in the history of SC.

Especially not tanks shaped like door wedges, or cheese wedges, or wheel chocks.

I personally can't wait for CIG to start selling water/liquid borne craft, much like 20th century battleships, cruisers, frigates, destroyers etc, maybe they'll even come up with some sort of cigar shaped ship that can dive below the liquid and remain there for a substantial time, none of these things have ever been done before in a game.

I'm actually laughing so hard and frequently @ CIG that I'm finding it difficult to form readable sentances. :D
