LIRIK (twitch broadcaster) just looked at the new SC trailer. He immediately said "no thanks I'll wait until release" "2027 lol" The SC hopefuls were crying tears of betrayal. It was beautiful.

Got a link to the twitch clip where he says that or whatever? I wanna read all the wailing and gnashing in chat from the SC hopefuls.

After 7 years it is time for them to realize the Awesome part has long since passed.

I think they need to do a petition like the Elite community. Sure guarantee CIG will fix all.

That plus 90% of their development is stuff to sell.

Yeah trying to color in a coloring book whose pages constantly gets ripped out by Croberts who replace them with poorly scanned pictures of various sci fi movies and games

you know what, i kinda get it now. we're looking at this from the wrong angle.

you can buy ships from ingame now. let's take a look at this one - it has aquariums, beds and a bar!




how much does it cost?



5 million space dollars.
okay, how much do you make from an average/higher paying mission?



to get that much money, you need to do 808 missions at 7000 credits per mission. 808 missions at 40 minutes each (best case scenario, not accounting for bugs, crashes etc) that's 32,000 minutes or 533 hours.



the ship costs $310. 533 hours of work is way more than $310, even at brazilian minimum wage. $310 is an absolute bargain.

chris roberts is a philantropist.

WTF is a suggested pledge?

Does that mean i can tell CIG what they can do with their suggested pledge and make my own suggested pledge of $1?

It's CIG's careful wording to avoid suggesting they "sell" ships. They've gotten heat from regulators in the past and, of course, their one court win was reliant on the idea that backers pledged for the game's development rather than bought spaceships for future use.

It's the helmet flip all over again. If it's worthless and faux-cool, Chris Roberts is all over it. If it has anything to do with making a space game, not so much. Not really his field.

Yeah, but once they implement SDCLO (Spacecraft Door Component Level Optimization, another thing NO ONE HAS DONE BEFORE that will take 2 years), Star Citizen will be even more advanced than any other game. At least two decades ahead of its time.
