I mean, most of my exposure to it is Canard PC ripping them a new rear end in a top hat every once in a while, so I didn't thought we had that many cultists, save for the old grognard Grenier.

Giving off some serious "Democratic Republic of" vibes here.

I'm still waiting for an explanation as to how an 'emperor' (descendent of 'Imperator', a victorious commander) promoted 'independence'. From what, exactly?

"Over the years, the holiday and the UEE itself have changed, but the tenets of the day and the values of our collective remain the same: we are stronger together. Together, we struck down tyrannical regimes, made peace and allied with alien races, and forged a legacy of harmony and a commitment to a better tomorrow. Together, we celebrate our great accomplishments from the past and the even greater potential of the future. Together, we solidify our independence through acceptance, inclusion, and mutual understanding. Our distant ancestors in the United States and France celebrated their own great moments of unity, perseverance, and independence in July. Join us in honoring those traditions this Imperator’s Day weekend."

The root of 'Tyrant' is authoritarian sovereign. Why would you name it 'Imperator's day'?

The answer is that what they call 'Imperator' is a chief executive...

It's time to CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Nearly two weeks late!

In a game where the big megaciv is an imperial monarchy!

Our options range from "Hundreds of dollars" to "Holy gently caress you have to be loving making GBS threads me"!

BUY BUY BUY!



THIS SHIP COSTS 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ISN'T IN THE GAME

BUY BUY BUY!

Nice of them to officially acknowledge 4th Stimpire Day with a sale. Let us all celebrate our independence from our skeletons this July 14th!

Pixelate posted:

Are these bundles abnormal? (Other than being stupidly expensive macro pre-orders that is.)

I can see the Constellation Phoenix is 'limited stock' and included in one of the bundles. Guess that counts as rare. Can't see a limit on the packages generally though. Does it stop when the patriotism runs out?

They are in the sense that they're event-driven and will disappear when the event ends. These aren't going to be sticking around long term- but they're lovely values even if you discount that they're broken ships for a nonfunctional game, so I don't know if this is really a pressure sales thing as much as an opportunistic money-grab.

As far as 'rare' or anything- I mean, I guess? I haven't seen any of these for sale in a while but that's because their store is basically just random poo poo except for the big blowout sales. It's a mystery to me how they make any money during the 11 months when their entire stock is hidden from purchasers.

No, No, NO! that's not how you do it!

First you announce "SHIP SALEPROMOTION"

Then you give it a cool, hip sounding name like The Refactornator
Only $420.69 fresh cash only
Buy now because the price will never be this low again. Prices will go up the closer release comes.
Then you make up some marketing BS like "best medium-small fighter-thing-doer in it's class" or "punches above it's weight"

Cool, does fit within the shape of Agent's info then I guess.

Think I'm just keen to see if this stuff coalesces

Yes. Also yes to any other question you might have. Whatever you can dream, theory-craft, imagine, this ship will have it all and will do that thing better than any other ship except for the next ship, which will make this one obsolete. NO TAKEBACKSIES!

Why does Lethality pine so hard for games in which most of the game time is spent doing nothing and moving? I bet he loved the original EQ stare at the spellbook for 5 minutes between fights.

One of the devs did go on record saying that they expect the EA release to be a bit of a hot mess but they see it as necessary for testing the game beyond what they're able to do with just the studio team working at it



I'm encouraged by the lack of bullshitting the devs have been pumping out. I am concerned by how many times I'm hearing "We aren't really sure how that'll work yet". At least if it is a hot mess and people are mad they have only themselves to blame for expecting the next coming of Christ.

Oh loving wow. This is StarBase?

Someone please sell me a loving bridge please. Without having visited a single time their forums or discord or whatever, I had totally bought into the quality and polish shown in their promo videos. Silly me. I guess this is exactly what happened and still happens to shitizens.

These guys are not going EA because they need "players to test" (that is another bridge right there if you buy it). They EA because they are running out of money and have to ship in whatever shape the game is in. gently caress 'em. gently caress 'em all.

A phone number is called and if it's not answered the SQ42 release is postponed by a year.
