gently caress, I looked it up. Fuuuuuuuuck. 30 USD (and shipping) for a cap that's worth half of that tops. 43 USD (and shipping) for the polo, again, for this quality I would give like half of that, if not less (Alibaba sells similar customized polo shirts with logo for like 10 bucks tops, more likely 5 USD a piece - and they even have buttons, as proper polo shirts should have, not loving plastic zippers).
People that spent at least 1000 USD on jpegs and janky screenshot generator are probably not good at accurate estimation of value for money (they would disagree, of course).

My irritation at ship marketing blurbs is slowly increasing every time i see them. The Aurora MR is not 'tenacious and versatile', its a shitbox for noobs. The Merlin does not pack a 'deceptive punch' - and why would you ever buy it seperately?

And the Herald does not 'transport data as fast as possible'. It's a verifiable lie!

Is misrepresenting virtual goods a crime?

I can't help but remember the last in-game expo, where new players had to log in at Port Olisar and fly 40+ minutes to get to the place where the ships were, only to learn that they only loaded on one of the servers and whoops it wasn't this one, and if they did load the framerate ground to a halt because the whole thing was hosted too close to the giant polygonal fuckfest that was Loreville.

Cig has corrected course though. This time, they'll hold it in the even bigger clusterfuck that is the city-planet. Enjoy that 40 minute flight, fuckers!

I think my favorite thing about it is that there is zero negativity on the sub. Not a single superfan remembers the stark reality of this garbage even though it was less than 12 months ago.

Also in extremely stupid marketing news:

They've announced that you can't CCU to any of the big ships when they go on sale this year.

For those playing the home game, CCU's have been the lifeblood of the wale milking economy for the last 4 years. The idea is that you buy a poo poo ship with lifetime insurance, then "cross-chassis upgrade" it to the ship you actually want when it goes back on sale. Alternately, you take your 500 dollar ship and CCU it to a 700 dollar ship, getting ever deeper into the pool a little at a time.

Well no more of any of that.



Sorry, suckers! Hope you didn't buy too many of those little LTI bikes or what the gently caress ever! If you want one of these ships you need to turn your old ship into "Store currency" and then accept whatever raw loving deal is attached to the new ship, be it garbage insurance or just a jacked up price for store credit. New money only, fuckos.

Can someone with admin rights to the Miri-cluster put a watch on this? At some point they're going to say that CCUs can only be used after launch, and that's a bonfire worth looking for.
