I'd chalk it up to an inventory glitch given the choice.

Rotten Red Rod posted:It's certainly not a swanky high-end place but I don't really see any reason to insult what looks like a pretty good restaurant due to its association with CIG. The restaurant didn't set that price tag on the event. We're not, we're highlighting that a schnitzel place near the train station - which is a fairly huge plaza, IIRC - is not what you'd call the most swanky of venues for a cover of around $200 to get a picture, handshake and a few words with the Lord of Bore. It's fine, and I'd probably go there to eat, but calling 'family style' high end is somewhat hilarious and somewhat fitting for backers who're fine throwing money into virtual assets. Maybe they believe that they're somehow involved? Maybe that's the secret of the whale-juicing, making them feel like part of the process, so they defend it without prompting.

Speaking of, time to check the fleeing whales in the trades sub again. Again this is all just in the last 24 hours, and only the trades that are going for below the original price. [WTS] Standalone LTI ships-all originals, no secondhand credits+CCUs [WTS] Constellation Phoenix 2017 Anniversary, Ursa Fortuna, Drake Buccaneers, and Dragonfly blacks [PriceCheck] Rear Admiral physical package, LTI Constellation Andromeda, signed silver box, original kickstarter pledge [PriceCheck]Concierge Account with several LTI ships and buyback options [WTS] 155 Store Credit at 70% [PriceCheck] Original backer Digital Scout with Aurora MR LTI and Hangar fees reward, and all rewards from $15mil until today [WTS]Account liquidation - selling RSI at 70% [WTS] - star Citizen account $275 - Carrack with LTI, and Berring M7A Laser. Also, backer awards since the 19 million mark. [WTS] $150 CREDITS @60% [WTS] Carrack LTI - 300$ [WTS] HULL C - LTI CCU / ARGO SRV - LTI WARBOND / VANGUARD HARBINGER - LTI CCU / APOLLO TRIAGE - LTI CCU [WTS] Account Star Citizen Full LTI - 1900$ [WTS] Darths Hangar Clearing, Nautilus CCU, LTI, 600 USD At this point the smart money (by which I mean the traders who were turning a profit- there was never any smart money in SC) is long, long gone- these guys are basically all bag-holders. How you feeling about that fleet investment MoMA?

P.S. the trades sub is another gigantic red flag for CIG- they have millions of dollars of "Store currency" circulating that is now rapidly devaluing. They can keep charging 10% old-money markups and it won't loving matter- you can go to that sub right now and get 700 CIG funbux for 490 dollars. Pretty soon it'll be 350 dollars. Why would anyone put new money into this thing when they can take someone else's old money at half price? Or better yet, spend nothing? Mysteriously, this hasn't impacted the funding numbers that CIG reports at all.

Are you saying Olive Garden is not high end? Come on, man, I knew that place was swanky the second the waitress came up with a giant glass jug that looked like a repurposed moonshine jug from a Bugs Bunny cartoon asking WHO WANTS WINE.

This video is incredibly tedious and dumb so don't watch it, but it turns out if your friend lands his space ship on your 890 jump, you can sell *his* cargo and get paid for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpM9QCtLhLM I guess maybe this is intended as the first iteration of player to player trading, but as it stands right now it means that uhhhhh you can steal from your friends without them being able to stop you lol

You're trading a steep discount for the right and the legal standing to be upset with CIG. If you buy a used ship, you won't get any of that money back in the event that someone manages to recover some cash from Chris. Both the buyer and seller are deciding that the money is gone and belongs to Chris now.

Beet Wagon posted:This video is incredibly tedious and dumb so don't watch it, but it turns out if your friend lands his space ship on your 890 jump, you can sell *his* cargo and get paid for it So I'd bet anything that what's happening here is an unintended consequence of CIG's hacky bullshit for box carrying. Someone at CIG (Chris) said "Hey we need to let people carry poo poo onto their ships and make it persistent. It will be exciting. In fact, carrying boxes one by one is the only way to transport things in the future." So they built a system where if you walk a box onto your ship and it becomes part of the ship's physics grid, the ship "Owns" that box. Then someone at CIG decided that anything that the ship "Owns" should be sellable- both the cargo (fully physical) that exists in the hold, and any boxes that are carried on board. All of it counts as "Owned" by the ship so it will show up in trade consoles- easy peasy! Well now here comes the difficulty multiplier- one ship with cargo is now landed inside another ship. Oops, the big ship is counting everything in the smaller ship as part of its inventory! I don't think this is fixable. I'm sure it's not the extent of the bug, either. I wonder how many bugs you could generate, doing poo poo like carrying boxes in between the two ships, or dropping one from the ramp of one ship onto the other, or selling items out of the smaller ship after carrying them in from the big ship. Guaranteed they have not covered a single edge case here.

Anyone buying in now is gonna look at thousand dollar price tags and immediately think about ways to get it cheaper- and hey! Turns out you can get it for 40% off, or more, just by asking. I'm not advocating that anyone buy this stuff- I'm just saying it's going to be a big problem for them.

Everything I've seen has shown the big ship parked up for hangar ops, so I don't know. But eventually they have to add some actual ship storage/spawn mechanics unless they think they're going to dictate that every object spawned in the game remain fully physicalized forever.

Rotten Red Rod posted:According to Yelp, the food is actually pretty good. It's a REALLY big place that has capacity for a lot of people, as it's a converted historic train station. That's probably the main reason it was chosen. They're actually rated 3 stars on Yelp. The reviews in German dunk on them for pages. Let me put it to you this way: you're paying Olive Garden prices for mediocre food, crammed in like cattle, and the people around you don't know good food, but think the whole shebang is classy. That's Olive Garden in a nutshell. For 30 Euros a plate more, they could have taken them to a decent steakhouse. But hey, maybe the venue was worth it over shooting eyedaggers all dinner at the guy who managed to score two pieces of garlic bread.

Either we were being paid to be there or our clients were getting a free meal. They certainly weren't paying premium prices for their plates. My old company took us all to Morton's we were allowed to pick anything off the menu, we could invite our spouse's, we did not pay, we were seated comfortably 5-6 per table, we had unlimited bread and potatos. I would assume I don't know high end office events.
