Years ago the F8 was a ridiculously secret ship, intended to be some kind of ultra-badass top tier endgame for Squadron 42. Now it's just another punchline in the great joke that is Star Citizen.

There is no game, no point to keep your best kept secret a secret when whales are just going to throw money at you for it.

Stupid girls are dumb and wreck the cool games all the time. If we want to keep the game awesome the only females in the game need to be battered and helpless and when the awesome and strong male specimens save them they open their legs like blooming flowers to get plowed hard. 30 seconds later the bitches cry “thank you for impregnating me master!”

This is how it goes, and loving Full Burn is being rage played by Slice The Cake behind the superior male while dicks shoot out of guns and chain saws cut down flowers and pretty girl poo poo stupid girls like. :kingsley:

Pretty sure Clifford has topped $50K to SC by now, judging by the account screenshots he always posts on twitter. The land beacon sale got him to well over $48K, IIRC.

So Pillars of Eternity started crowdfunding about a one month before Star Citizen. Released on March 26, 2015. Had an expansion pack, The White March, release in two parts on August 25, 2015/February 16, 2016. Released a console version on August 29, 2017. And now a full sequel will release on 3 April, 2018. Obviously Obsidian Entertainment doesn't know about game development.

Let's see, so at the end of Q1 2018 they're going to...

Have Customizable Characters (100 tasks)
Polish Helmets (13 tasks)
"Improve" Planetary Generation Tech (1 task)
"Improve" the Flight Control System (1 task)
"Improve" the Personal Manager (1 task)
Balance Weapons (2 tasks)
Overhaul Ship Damage (4 tasks)
Convert Ship AI to Subsumption (62 tasks)
Implement Aegis Reclaimer (56 tasks)
Implement Anvil Terrapin (39 tasks)
Implement MISC Razor (39 tasks)
Implement Tumbril Cyclone (38 tasks)
Implement Ship Weapon: Preacher Distortion Shotgun (29 tasks)
Implement Personal Weapon: Gemini R97 Shotgun (29 tasks)
Improve Netcode (10 tasks)
Optimize Performance (36 tasks)

Let's be clear about this. They've put more thought into laying out how to polish the loving helmets than they have for improving netcode. It takes the same number of tasks to implement a glorified off-road golf cart than it does to implement a multi-crew ships. They have 100 tasks to implement customization of characters but only 3 tasks combined to improve planetary generation, improve the flight system (their core gameplay element), and improve the user interface.

At this point anyone who reads that and doesn't immediate register that it's a giant pile of steaming bullshit deserves to be loving scammed.

If you're being generous and lumping that ship AI technobabble in with performance related tasks in a game where people turn into balls of light and experience true death you're looking at about 32% of their general hand waving being directed towards figuring out how to get their game to not run like dick. Everything else is based on adding more poo poo and marketing.

So if that's accurate it's indicative of a massive shift in their resources towards actually producing a game. Virtually unprecedented.

I wish they would say what company is supposedly working on what.
