So erin said that buyable ships were probably going to be in 3.1 but this was when 3.1was goong to be the real jesus patch and not a bunch of bug fixes for 3.0. Do you think that they’ll still add this feature in? Realistically, this should be one of the easiest things to implement in the game if they’ve had a design document written up with the prices for each of these ships in game and such

I think Star Citizen might be the start of a new concept, where a company accept money from people to put out fake artwork, fake ingame models, fake alphas, fake weekly development progress updates just so people can pretend to look forward to the game of their dreams. For an extra fee you can pretend to be a well respected member of the fake games' community and flame evil detractors on fake message boards.

What could sour the perception of this project for the remaining cultists? Is there any depths left to dredge besides them publicly running off with the money?

I posted about this upthread, but something that unmistakeably without a shadow of a doubt destroys their faith in Chris Roberts personally. We're not talking " a dead girl or a live boy", something that demonstrates outright contempt for backers or backer funds and cannot be rationalised away.

A meltdown blaming the backers for not pledging enough might do it. CIG's accounts could certainly do it if they reveal shocking extravagance. Turning up drunk or high to the Whale dinner and stammering out what he really thinks of them. Maybe a revelation in Sunk Cost Galaxy if it's big enough and embarrassing enough and easy enough to understand.

But it's gotta be personal and it's gotta be aimed directly at the backers, and it's gotta be from Chris himself. Anything else will be dismissed as lies or FUD or a goon plot, or will garner sympathy for "coping with the stress". Evidence that Sandi has spent millions on funding personal film projects wouldn't do it (too remote from the backers). Evidence that Chris used backer money to buy his house and his annual Porsche might do it (but I can hear "Chris is successful and deserves to be paid big bucks!" arguments now). Ben breaking down and revealing that Chris wipes his rear end with Issue Council bug reports while dictating memos about how to price the new Double Idris to bring in more suckers, ha ha these fucks will buy anything, hey Ben bring me another box of Wing Commander manuals I need to dry my hands would do it.

lol - true story, back in the 90's I was a bit of a raver and at one rave in some random warehouse somewhere in east London I imbibed an irresponsibly large quantity of - well not specifically - but you get the idea... anyways this resulted in me actually seeing the music (which was really really really loud) as coloured geometric and fractal shapes, which were constantly self transforming. It was all I could see. It was in fact pretty cool and good. This lasted for about 3 hours (although I am not certain about this, as along with all my other senses my perception of time was a bit shot.) This particular experience probably explains a lot, but if so the lessons lost on me

Though Chris Roberts is the keystone. If he wanted to the whole shibang could be unraveled with a sentence. Or being recorded doing so.

It wouldn't stop it. They'll just Double Fine it out. "Well here's all our assets. We're not going to do it anymore but you, as a community, are welcome to try."

Then all the TROO BELIFERS would jizz themselves about how they got good value for the money they put in.

Dragonfly spawns flipped most of the time. Back doors in cutlass black are sometimes missing after spawning, even claming doesnt fixes that. My friend is a ping pong ball. Mobiglass is play and pray so it doesn't crash. Equipping items needs to be done many times in order to success(not always). Struggling with delivery missions to Olisar.

I was getting frequent freezing, especially during landing and takeoff. I found a partial fix - the bug seems to be related to audio. I turned off music and changed music dynamic range to 'medium' and I turned ship verbosity to 'low' and my crashes have been MUCH less frequent. Thought I'd share.

Oh, you're asking me about issues? The game is unplayable. I get 0.7 - 4 fps on average (that is not a typo), the airlock doors don't open, EVA thrusters don't work and the game can't even close itself, so I have to use the task manager every time I play. I have 8 gigs of ram, but I didn't expect the game to run this badly even with a massive page file to compensate for the lack of ram.

They would switch their faith to somebody else (Erin, Ortwin, etc) just like thousands of other belief groups have told their founders/messiahs to go gently caress themselves if they become an annoyance. Suddenly, Crusader: No remorse, would become the best game ever, the one that changed their childhoods.

The only thing that can stop this train are the companies shutting down. Either for lack of money or for legal reasons(I doubt they'll shut them down out of decency). Which is why refunds and lawsuits are so scary.

Yeah, the transfer of trust to Erin has been underway for some time, as Chris has damaged his own credibility so terribly in a marathon stretch of misleading guidance that includes Star Marine, Squadron and Alpha 3.0. So the fallback position has become “Chris is the Visionary, but Erin is the Get poo poo Done Guy. Erin’s managed big projects. Erin’s shipped lots of titles. Erin will save us, with his army of Dev rockstars like Chambers, Tony Z, Sean Tracy, etc.”

The narrative is easily falsified, as Erin has been there managing the big deliverables for years and hasn’t proven playmaker or Chris tamer. Mayberry was, I assume, the better shot CIG had at that but that ship sailed. So backers will get a chance to watch the Roberts family Troika and The League of Extra Ordinary Yes Men struggle valiantly against the demonic forces of Entropy and Expectation that Chris himself summoned reading from the spell books of sorcerers yet having not an ounce of magic left in him.
