Okay, so if you were to run the mission they showed us - the one where your ship got exploded through no fault of your own - and didn't have a cheesed bank account to pay your insurance or buy a new ship, what do you do?

You fail the mission and become someone's turret bitch.

It just feels so phoned in from everyone this year. Some funny moments, FOIP was everything I expected. But eh, it's so much the same as last year but with even less effort.

Oh, no, they are showing boring sitting-in-a-chair spaceship flying, like boring Elite, like someone with no SPACE LEGS.

Stop it, I want to feel the wind in my hair on a trai.

I want to hide under a canvas sheet with lust on my mind, where anything could happen, not be in boring space flying a boring Cobra Mk III, boring.

If you make more than $0.28 per hour you're better off working a job and then buying the Aurora LX.

If you make more than $0.06 per hour you're better off working a job and then buying the Aegis Hammerhead.

It's very obvious that Crobberts wanted his own Cyberpunk 2077 demo... and there's no space in the Cyberpunk demo.

Also I'm wondering if the reason they never went off planet is because Lorville was the only thing loaded in their demo server.

This thruster stuff is madness. It might be interesting in $10 Steam game that was about managing thrusters on a space ship, but in a multi (multi) million dollar game about pew-pewing in space?

but you would miss all that fun and fidelity.


Also you realize whoever built those models is gonna sell them to clifford or some other mega whale at a premium and CIG won't ever have to pay. I'm sure crobbers will make his cousin whole if that doesn't happen, but come on; let's be honest here.


Also any whisperings of the Kraken price? They want so much for it they won't even post how much it cost.

I pointed out this guy before the con , he is making 10s pr thousands off cig stuff. Being sold right back to cig

The pc desks alone are 2-3 thousand pounds a pop

And I imagine this model he just made is at least 10k , the dragonfly maybe 5k

Also on the bottom of his website, cloud imperium rights ???

Did he unwittingly reveal more shell corps ?

Do you know how badly that would upset the whales? They have to make a choice of who to piss off and since there's no new citizens they have to choose the space poors.

Can I just go on a rant for a minute?

I play a lot of flying/space games. X3:AP, IL-2:BoS, Strike Fighters 2, ArmA3, DCS World, House of the Dying Sun, X-Plane, etc. Flight models are complicated, I get it. But what the gently caress. Shouldn't this be the first loving thing you get sorted? Overwatch started out as grey boxes. Splatoon started out as grey boxes. And six years and 200 million loving dollars later, this is what you're finally getting on about? What the fuuuuuccccckkkk
