That's the whole point for a company that knows what it's doing to have a cert. Might I propose this alternate scenario:

IT: Because you're just browsing our intranet site, it's fine.

IT: Yes, because elitedangerous.com is a registered domain protected with a valid SSL certificate.
Chris Roberts: I WANT A VALID ESSESSELL CERTIFICATE

Fool Citizen. No-one is buying anything, they're pledging :smuggo:

The one thing that really makes me laugh is the response "no one is making you spend the money they aren't forcing you" thus that means it can not be a scam. Scams are predicated on fooling or otherwise taking advantage of a person to gain something of value from them willingly. Taking something from a person against their will is theft\robbery not a scam.

I appreciate how absolutely everything about SC is a clusterfuck, not just the game itself. Horrid PR and community management? Inability to stay in compliance with the contract signed with your most important vendor? Plaintext passwords in your new website form submittals? A sketchy security certificate installed pointing to a website you don't even own?

It's a hilariously thorough web of top to bottom incompetence.

Best thing is that I have this darned suspicion now that all of their user data and passwords are just sitting on a practically unprotected sql server without even a basic hashing of them. Just raw text everywhere in a field named “password”.

At least the code base is password protected. That video of Chris "coding" is actually a capture of him deleting the only copy of the password they had.

Agreed.

It also makes everything your fault if you spot anything that's not painting the dream project in a positive light.

- "They said 2014 plus one year or your money back. I want my money back.
- No, it's your fault. Pledges are non refundable because it's against the concept of backing. Plus the TOS has now changed.

- The scope keeps expanding uncontrollably.
- Your fault. The backers voted for it years ago.

- They keep getting money for concept ships and now selling land and hover bikes and tanks(?).
- Your fault. Don't give them any, every ship will be purchasable in-game. They are not selling land but land claims. More vehicles enhance emergent gameplay.

- It's just lies, missed deadlines and constant let down in terms of the expectations they created. They said things would go stale after 3 years. They promised a hundred systems and delivered 3 moons. They have been in an alpha state for six years.
- Your fault. This is how game development works, and you obviously know nothing of it.

- There is no game. This is just a composition of buggy tech demos and mods.
- Your fault. We are all playing the game already and you should watch the weekly episodes to keep up with the smoke and mirrors progress.

It's definitely cult-like behavior. And I think I've said it before. It's understandable because it happens in many crowdfunded projects -- but only for early days and up to a tipping point. People will gang up against you if you are being critical of shady marketing tactics and bloated scope, because it hurts the chance that their dream project will be funded.

But after years of so much amateurism in anything delivered by project (except for ship ads), and hilarious fails on a weekly basis, how can these people expect the best MMO ever and apparently a trilogy of lengthy standalone games (and a prelude maybe)? We are talking about a company that has released nothing for gamers to have a reference point and a project leader dreamer who has yet to come up with an original idea of his own for this and is notorious about being incompetent when it comes to delivering anything.

Check the NIST guidelines. That’s what we follow. In a nutshell you hash/salt/etc the original password and save that value. Any time you do a password comparison you check the original hash against the new password hash coming in.

I realise this is a bit of an odd question, but what the heck is going on with their lore? I wasn't paying it any attention but I wound up watching a video about the naming of Sci-Fi governments, and apparently the UEE Stands for United Earth Empire. Despite the fact that there is apparently no Emperor because the guy who declared himself emperor got deposed. Apparently the people who deposed him just shrugged and kept the name? I guess they didn't have the budget for new stationery.

Then again, all of the lore basically exists at this point to justify more .jpgs, so it not being thought through isn't exactly a shock.

Edit: Well, except for the 4th Stimpire, of course.

See your mistake is thinking the empire relates to the Sol System but, as seen in Sandi's title, it's the Sol Sytem. Two totally different solar systems with absolutely no relation at all, indeed no refunds from this solar system you are thinking of the one over that way.
