And furthermore, Day Late Gamer with Will has some things he’d like to add to that...

The purgatorial aspects of 3.1.1 missions are demonstrated pretty humorously here, as Will flies a delivery to Levski with the simplest of goals, “get this single box of Cargo to the designated delivery point before the timer runs out...”

Yet complications ensue, and those complications have complications. Thank goodness he sets video playback to 16x during much of this or it really would’ve been too long to endure viewing...

Apparently someone in the 40K thread has a particularly specific set of issues with what I have said.

Did they try to argue the game was good again? I've seen that argument before. The trick is to lure them into Infinity with bad titty sculpts and then get them into the badass Haqqislam or Ariadna guys. Or XWang.

Just be careful with the ammonia, guys. Ammonia isn't the greatest thing for most metals, and many seals, plastics, rubber, wood, etc.

Yeah you run it through the barrel and immediately clean it. Just the barrel on that note. Can't be any worse than the weeks I spent using denatured alcohol to clear the goddamn cosmoline off. Cleaning rod -> windex -> Cleaning rod -> Normal cleaning routine.

....

Hey guys, we need to pitch surplus guns and cleaning routines to CIG. They can scalp millions when some nerd fucks up and 2x4 bolts his space K98k and has to buy a new one because he doesn't know how to unfuck his gun before he dies.

On the one hand, yes. To be an active backer after seeing this progress in the span of six years can be an indication that you are complete moron.
On the other hand, if CIG doesn't have at least a hundred of their grunts to post positive comments and shill for the company on a daily basis especially on their own tweets and youtube videos (and from multiple accounts) I'd be *very* surprised.

Those sleazy jpeg pushers are for sure doing this and much much worse.

I would not be surprised if they just keep building on their existing one for several more years. It's too easy to use existing data formats, add a few graphical effects here and there and let modders sort out the bugs as usual

There's some disagreement over what it might be on reddit. CIG confirmed on twitter that it's a new ship, which makes it another concept sale.

https://twitter.com/RobertsSpaceInd/status/984240770600222720

Reddit seems to think they're monetizing one of the The Next Great Starship rejects:



If that's the case, it'll mark an interesting change in their concept ship strategy. If I were really :tinfoil: I'd say perhaps they're in desperate need of cash and don't have the time to wait for the "hundreds of thousands of man hours" it takes for one of their team members to draw a space outhouse or whatever. Also, from that same thread on reddit there's a beautiful example of Star Citizens not seeing why we laugh at them:

quote:

So. While this could upset people i think its just effing amazing.

In 2016 i was at a bar citizen CR attended, and i asked him about how many were involved, how long, and what it took to get the idris in play. So, get this, approx 4 - 6 people were working on this in various stages for 2 years. Not including the special effects , sound etc.

Thats 5 people, assuming 2080 hrs per year, 20800 man hours of work for just the blockouts, and design to get to a point sq42 mission design aboard the idris can begin. Armchair math of 75k per dev (after benefits) , the idris cost 375k to design.

Realistically, 500k went into dev of this ship. Thats just too loving cool.
