MY BIRTH CRY WILL BE THE SOUND OF EVERY WALLET ON THIS PLANET OPENING IN UNISON.
I wonder if these guys are spending their retirements on imaginary spaceships or if they really just have that much disposable cash around.

My income would probably be considered high by most people, but it's not crazy high and I would never even consider spending $1,000 on a game. Never mind $18,000.
I may retire at 45, but is it worth it if I don't have a Kraken?

Nah. When you witness someone trying to sexually assault someone, you tend to instantly dislike them.

What happens to the landed/hangar-landed ships if the Kraken pilot logs off/is disconnected? And what will happen when the owners of the landed ships log off? Do their ships persist until the Kraken is despawned, or is the pad free for another one to land on?

The Kraken will follow the same rule-set as the persistent bed log off system we current have in game, if the owner of the Kraken logs off and there are no other players on-board, then it will be despawned. If there are still players on-board, then the Kraken and ships on-board will persist. If a player lands their ship on a Kraken, then proceeds to log off, their ship will persist with the Kraken until the point the Kraken is despawned or destroyed, at which point if the player then rejoins they will either have it respawn at the point the Kraken was or have to reclaim it in the event it was destroyed.

This sounds like a complete disaster.

Lol how the gently caress is that gonna work.

Question: if I refuse to log off until after the guy who owns the kraken I’m on, and then immediately fly it into the sun or whatever, does he have an insurance timer when he logs on next?

It's hilarious to me that I think this feels like a low price for a fake spaceship in a fake video game. Star Citizen has broken my brain too.

I guess? What happens while he's gone? Do the NPCs go anywhere? Does the ship just hover in space? How is this remotely feasible? Does the owner get a notice that his ship will not despawn?

Answer: When you log off right now, if anyone else is on your ship, it just becomes an "Un-owned" generic copy of your ship. If you want to spawn another, you have to do an insurance reclaim.

So, yes, he will have an insurance timer literally no matter what you do unless he logs off from a bed on the ship. Then he'll wake up on it, unless you destroy it.

This loving rules. Any ship that’s on a kraken is vulnerable to being destroyed even after the owner logs off. God bless you CIG. God bless your broken, worm-filled brains.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

OK come on, this is some real Nigerian prince level poo poo, I could print that out and when people ask me why Star Citizen is a scam, I could just show that to them and they would be like "Well, poo poo."



The sad thing is, considering there are more expensive "things" you can "get" from CIG, I can't even find this funny anymore. It's an outright scam now. (And it got so bad even German magazine Gamestar is making fun of Star Citizen now, they recently had a big title story and the editorial on the first page was like :lol: Star Citizen is never coming out :lol: )
