As much as I love Arc Corp, some of these individuals think that just because they live in Area 18, they think they're all that and can take out a lie just to try and discourage your confidence. Pfft!

Girl, I don't even know why I even decided to talk with you. I wasn't even flirting!

And for the record: Even IF he has an 890 Jump, I bet he ain't got no friends. 😒😒😒

Some of these NPCs man. Downright disrespectful!


Backstory:

So I land in Area 18 and decide to check out Astro Armada. I got some creds from my last run; enough to buy the Anvil Hawk there. I like what I'm seeing and proceed to head closer to it to open my mobi and purchase. All of a sudden, this girl approaches me, asking me if I knew whether or not there were other ships being sold here.


I humbly say, "Sorry, I don't think there are." I then proceed to open my mobi and make my purchase. All of a drat sudden, this girl jumps out of her way and says, "Wait you're buying that? Hawk is for poor people."

Like...excuse me? Did I ask you for your opinion? Home girl continues her -->unwanted<-- opinion by saying how she was more so looking at one of the Origin ships as my first buy if I were smarter. And that she can't understand what people even see in poor people ships.


Mind you, I'm about 2 tempers away from shoving this girl in that Hawk's prison containment, but I want to buy my ship and don't want to get arrested. So I decide to stay calm and just make a last statement: I say that, not to anyone's offense, but not everyone has the same kinds of attractions, especially in ships, and that she was was a being a bit disrespectful to anyone who worked hard and was finally able to afford a ship.


Who in Christ Roberts' name told me to say that.

Home girl jumps out further and says how I was being rude to her. (Excuse w-t-f-me???). She adds that men like me don't know how to talk to a girl, and how her boyfriend has an Origin 600i, and just bought an 890 Jump for both of them.


So now, I'm looking at this girl as she rants her life away, wondering how I even ended up in this situation. That Hawk is the only reason I'm still here. So I proceed to calmly mentally tell her to shut tf up, open up my mobiglas and buy my ship.


I turn around and proceed to leave the store as she continues to rant.

I was having an extremely normal day at the ArcCorp star port, where I do all my ship purchasing. Now don't misunderstand me. I don't fly out of there. Ahahaha no. I have people to do that for me. Anyway, I was sitting at the airport bar and lounge, as you do when you are extremely rich, and talking to the other 7 space men in the bar who were all extremely rich as well. Every one of us owned the biggest and best spaceships, can you believe that? So we were all sitting there with the deluxe plastic bags over our heads, huffing the extremely rich fumes of our own delicious farts, when she walked in. A female.

Two of my companions hissed and jumped straight up onto the table, arching their backs like startled cats. I heard one of my compatriots mutter in a cultured and suave tone, "loving Bitches..." before evaporating away into a pool of beta cuck tears. Just like that, the harlot had eliminated half of my drinking companions! I couldn't stand for that! My extremely powerful and rich penis had known the pleasures of womanly flesh on at least two occasions and my current lover, a deluxe plush body pillow of Ai Shinozake, was safe aboard my gigantic Idris Frigate, the Cockhammer, so I was very secure in my masculinity as I confronted this hussy. "Excuse me, bitch," I said, in my deepest tones. "I think you're in the wrong bar, if you know what I mean."

She looked at me like I was some kind of disgusting reptile or a thing she'd found on the bottom of her boot. Me! Super rich spaceguy! "It's literally the only bar, dipshit. I'm here to deliver tickets, you're all quintuple-parked and there are only five spaces available for the whole city to begin wi-"

I slapped my wallet down on the table, hard, and started buying ships right at her. She looked at me, aghast but also aroused. She'd never seen anyone buy so many ships, so fast. My fingers flew over my iGlass, the gentleman's mobiglass. I bought Vanguards and Avengers. I bought Hammerheads and then bought customized Ai Shinozake body pillows for each and every bunk. I stared her in the eye while I did it. I saw a light blush come to her cheeks, and her mouth parted slightly as her eyes widened. Oh yes, she wanted me.

"Sorry babe," I said, gesturing with my thick wad of cash. "This bankroll belongs to another." I kept buying ships. Thoroughly defeated and speechless, she backed away slowly. She wanted it but she knew she couldn't have it. All my other companions at the bar stood up and clapped. They clapped, for me!

Oh, you'd better believe Ai Shinozake and I celebrated our union on that night.

Does it work though? It seems like if the two booleans to be compared are equal it returns a false. And the way I would read AreBooleansEqual would be that if that bool is true, then the compared booleans are equal. It also seems slightly unoptimized. Am I misreading this?

Nah their website is a clusterfuck, half the ships in the store have thumbnails/images from one or two reworks past. Nothing has updated stats/descriptions to match the in-game mechanics. Links are dead all over the place, and then you'll see stuff like this, unannounced items that were clearly shoved into the page from some fuckup like a scheduled push.

It's almost like they stopped paying the people who did their website!

It's incredible to actually sift through the store. It's just years of them throwing out random numbers, never backing any of it up, and then abandoning the designs the second they are done with their sales. Nothing on the store is accurate, nothing is the least bit representative. It's not even intentionally wrong, it's just- complete incompetence. This is their loving money maker and they treat it like a garbage dump.

Examples:
----

poo poo that's been released for years still has only the concept art, on the store:
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/drake-buccaneer/Buccaneer

poo poo that's been through multiple model updates still has the original shots. The 300 looks nothing like this anymore:
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/origin-300/300i

The cutlass is completely different, as well, and none of the store info has been updated:
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/drake-cutlass/Cutlass-Black

In addition to all the images being outdated (this one got a rework and no store update as well), ships are listed with parts that just don't exist in the game and are never intended to, anymore: fuel intakes? Ship's computers? There's also numbers that are just flat-out wrong, like the missile quantities.
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/rsi-constellation/Constellation-Phoenix

Or how about the poor Banu Merchantman which literally has not had a single new piece of art posted to its store page since the first day it was sold. It's been through like 4 concept redesigns since this:
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/merchantman/Merchantman

----

Then there's the stuff that's wrong on everything. None of the ships have gotten any updates since the new flight model came out. So they all still list SCM speed and Max speed, even though SCM no longer exists.

At some point even if it's totally just incompetence this starts to feel like false advertising
