So they're doing fat blokes but have yet to show any signs of female playable character models. I guess they figured their backers would want something they can identify with.

also, RE: "ship grind theorycrafting" the geniuses at reddit cooked this thread up:

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/8ngxo8/speculation_on_ship_ingame_uec_prices_version_2/

I'm trying to follow their logic here, but it looks like they're assuming

A) $1 = 1000 UEC will still hold true
B) Ships will increase in price about threefold by launch
C) You will still be able to earn a Constellation in about 60 hours of playtime (per some loving thing Chris said three years ago)
D) Cameron Wilkie's speculation that the Polaris will be 20-30 million UEC was wrong

There's a bunch of flaws in this model, including assuming CIG's final "in-game" pricing model is going to be tied to reality in any way, so we might as well be throwing chicken bones around and trying to read them, but if we take those numbers at face value that means an Idris is going to cost you around 600 hours of play time lol. That's more than double the time I've put into MWO even when I used to play it every day and occasionally leave it running overnight by accident.

That might even be more than my total time put into WoW honestly.

I have a couple games in the triple digits, one of which is Elite. The funny part there is that it's only in triple digits because I forget to close the launcher when I'm done, and so it "plays" for days on end lol.

POLYGON: The biggest rumors of E3 2018

Polygon goes against conventional wisdom and bets on a surprise “Starfield” showing at E3. Don’t they know there is no Starfield?!? It was a misdirect from the very beginning, a sneak level 100 trick on Hines’ and Howard’s part to conceal Elder Scrolls 6!

I saw it in a YouTube video and know it to be true!



(That said, if they surprise with a Starfield mention or more then I win a bet... )


E3 will be awesome regardless because of da games!

i think the $40 packs are specifically "game+ship" but i have never actually looked so im just talking out my rear end

If you recall, about a year ago CIG said it was too difficult to customize character height and weight because of potential clipping issues. Now, they realize that models of any shape or size are going to have clipping issues anyway, so gently caress it

Question: In the long-range plans for development do you think there will ever be an opportunity for players to join the game without a ship package and take part in the ground activity, travel via shuttle/liner, take jobs on ship-owner-operator's crews? I think just letting those folks into the universe would win them over into the game as well. Perhaps even a guest account option?

Yep, that's a really good suggestion. It's actually something we've discussed that perhaps maybe instead of a trial period where someone gets to try out a ship, they can maybe enter the universe and then they can take a job for hire, or be hired by someone, and then if they want to migrate onto things like ship ownership then they would have to sort of pay their "ship license fee" - which would be your initial package to get into the game. So we sort of considered those structures for the longer-term stuff, and also like if you lose all your credits and you don't want to put more money in then of course you still should have ways that you can work for other people to earn enough money to get a ship back. And so we're going to have all of those mechanics in the game anyway, so I think long-term that's a potential way to maybe get some friends in, and get other people to play. Short term it's not gonna be there, but definitely I think our systems will allow it, so it is a pretty good idea.

But I think first off we'd want to get the game working for everyone that backed it, making sure it's all good, and then we could see about how it would get expanded.

Whew! She must be super busy being the VP of Marketing for a company and being an actress! I know my VP of marketing is on the phone constantly, setting up groups, helping people build out sales decks, answering endless questions, and preparing for new campaigns. Not to mention the endless amount of reports they both receive and generate is tremendous. They usually work all hours of the day and many weekends and most "vacations" are just "working at a different location".

She should write a book about how she manages al this stuff. Maybe call it "International Marketing" or something.

Also as an aside, in that cast picture she looks anything but youthful or beautiful, but that is just like, my opinion man.
