Hitting $250M is going to bring them under a lot more scrutiny. It is sort of a magic number.

you'd imagine that 249 million would be enough for scrutiny

It wasn't an ELE that wiped out the backer funds. It was Tristan Timothy Taylor.

This ship 110% only exists because someone showed Chris the "procedural" shops tech for the R&R station that they were talking about a while ago and he thought it was the most amazing thing he had ever seen.

Just loving :laffo: if you're giving CIG money for this half-baked piece of poo poo

How many of these limited edition "mallrat" carriers were up for sale this time?

They should just embrace it, not fix the bugs, and make it like a Dead Space horror game.

The citizens have really let me down. They should have funded more.

Can we let Derek back in for a few days? We need some powerful spite pledges for me to win the contest.

We could, like, limit him to only one doxx per hour.

I don't even get why there would be two marketplaces. One is weird enough on a ship, but a private marketplace, as well? Are the shop owner NPCs just going to stand around all day in case the owner of the Kraken wants to go shopping without risking contact with whatever plebs may currently be on his ship? :psyduck:

By private marketplace they mean player-shop marketplace. There are 8 npc shops and 2 pc shops in the ship.

The idea is that there are some Germans somewhere whose idea of fun is to tend to a shop in the middle of a ship in the middle of nowhere. Seems like a sure bet.

Ok so the German I hired to scrub my space toilet is telling me "go gently caress myself" and "talk to his union rep".

This. No actual human being who only heard of SC a week ago would write a testimonial designed to counter every common criticism with that perfect desperate undertone of PTSD gained from defending this shitpile for years.

I'm not sure which post-mortem event I'm looking forward to more. The Crobbler slinking into eternal obscurity, or the backers dissolving into a mass of self-loathing, loss, and denial. It's all well-earned and richly deserved, but this slow torture leading in is probably tougher on the people laughing than on the people that think something will come of it.

But now it's gone again. Even though with funding tracker + Calder investment, it would take top spot.

Yeah after he said that I pretty much tuned out.

The video was kinda poo poo TBH they are deluded because they are willing to wait even though nothing is really getting done. New poo poo gets added and worked on while the old poo poo is pushed aside.

Revision comments explains its removal.

4th November, someone tried to add it back onto the list.

Same day, removed with the comment "Per the many past reverts and talk page discussions. Funding raises is not development budget."

Of course, we all know that 100% of funding goes towards the development of SC, and not anything else at all. And since every dollar raised for SC is worth 5 times as much as with a traditional model, it should actually be added as the first billion plus computer game.

Looks like one of those guys trying to spread the Chris Roberts virus beyond its normal quarantine zone. The only edits this guy has on Wikipedia are adding Star Citizen to the most expensive list, and making sure Gary Oldman's home page includes Squadron 42.

What an empty loving life these people lead.
