Ah right you are. You won't mind if we take the bacon and leave you with the pineapple then?

Yeah, didn't think so.

Wait.
You're British and telling me what is good to eat?
From the same people who invented tripe as a dish?

I will have you know that pineapple and bacon are excellent on pizza and was invented in Canada.

In fact let's pour maple syrup over everything, because it p much goes with everything too.
Canadians...we will ruin your national dish for you.
French fries? Let's cover them in gravy and cheese curds and call it poutine. Yum.
Donuts? Let's coat them in maple syrup and bacon.
Yorkshire pudding and maple syrup.
Baked beans and maple syrup.
Fried eggs in maple syrup.

Also do we know how long it will be before Rexshilla's contract with CI not G expires?

New COD is more Battlefield in terms of "feeling" vs previous COD installments.

There was a thread on spectrum, i think, literally asking for suites of support vehicles for the ballista.

And another one where a guy just wanted a chow wagon because the ballista didn't have any facilities for long term deployment or something.

That's great. I can't wait until CIG implements high fidelity body functions, then has to sort our the resulting mess of commandos constantly making GBS threads themselves because most ships and vehicles don't have bathrooms.

I hope CIG gives them all of the drudgery that makes up 90% of real military life too, like endless vehicle maintenance, waiting in lines, the stacks of paperwork required to do anything and of course eating lovely food.

He just posted a new tweet.

"#StarCitizen covert operations: Boarding team will eva to enemy Reclaimer, eliminate hostiles on board, set ship to self-destruct. PVP in Star Citizen is full fledge."

Where enemy means - other members of the group who pretend to be an enemy in a staged scenario which will hardly ever happen organically.

Meanwhile Rex gets to shout at people.

Some people might die from heart attacks.

Possibility of client or server crashes: Spicy Hot.

You forgot:

* Someone had to buy the Reclaimer, fly it to the conflict area, then sit perfectly stationary and unlock its doors because there is no boarding
* The Reclaimer doesn't actually do anything in-game right now, there is no purpose to this fight, nobody incurs any costs
* PVP in Star Citizen is make believe

Uh oh, looks like they deleted the doors again in the latest patch

One way you know this is a high-quality company is that, if they fix a problem, it stays fixed

So if you were wondering about what point Citizens would really start to go full-negative on CIG, it appears that the roadmap update has your answer.

posted:

When did the Gas Cloud tech disappear from the roadmap entirely?

Alot has disappeared from the roadmap

posted:

I dont think it will be last patch of the year, but i do think 3.8 will be severely reduced. Like, maybe the ships, weapons and a few other things, but no big ticket items as far a mechanics or gameplay.

If we are lucky the might finish Crusader, but i doubt it.

High expectation: ships, guns/ship weapons, armor and Crusader for 3.8

Low expectation: a few ships, maybe some guns/ship weapons for 3.8

Honestly feels like every patch gets "severely reduced" or gets called a QOL/backend patch.

I'm starting to wonder if people were laid off or all sent to SQ42. SOMETHING for sure is going on.

LOL CIG is probably having second guesses about making rentals available, it will probably cut pledge money flow in a half at the very least

posted:

Jeez, two weeks of essentially no progress except for on tasks that were do last month. Really not good

Star Citizen actually came out in 2014 2016 as promised, the community managers just forgot to tell anyone.

posted:

Idk what CIG is doing nowadays, they have become pretty lazy with out money

just remember- this was a complete change of behavior for CIG, and in no way could any of this have been predicted. If you were mad at the company before now, it is because you are a troll. You can be mad right now, but as soon as hype videos start to roll out you need to shut up and support them again, they are working hard for your money. Then you can be mad again after they have your money and the stuff in the hype vids comes out broken or not at all. Please refer to the general subreddit calendar on acceptable times to be mad.
