I think I may have a problem...



Sorry I’m new, what’s the chairman club?

High Admiral: $1000
Grand Admiral: $2500
Space Marshal: $5000
Wing Commander: $10K
Legatus Navium: $25k
It really just means you have poor impulse control and tend to buy a few too many internet spaceships.

Has anyone reached legatus Navium yet?

Last I checked, there were 67 Legatus members.

Honestly people who own boats are uniquely qualified to be Star Citizen backers, you're constantly throwing money at something that is actively falling apart and a huge pain to use, and you celebrate when you finally unload it to someone else.

Missing Praetorian, between Wing Commander and Legatus.

I think that's 15k.

Five pounds of 10 dollar bills is a huge wad to shove up the fart box.

What really troubles me is the overwhelming pride they have about spending that kind of money. There's a few people joking about how absurd it is, but most of them are congratulating and welcoming the poster. CIG doesn't need to do much to foster the cult mentality, they're generating it themselves.

Well, i guess we might as well do away with taxes that provide public health services (the poster is possibly from the US though and doesn't understand free public healthcare), and education. Oh, and the roads. And bridges. And aqueducts!

Insert clip of Sandi saying "well, won't the backers be upset if I'm flying first class on their dime to go to my movie shoot unrelated to the game?" and Chris responds "well the Backers won't even know"

that question seems to be quite out of character for her

What is funniest is how they name their high tier backers after a low level position for a hotel employee.

Also from the wikipedia description: The concept has been applied more generally to other hospitality settings and to personal concierges who manage the errands of private clients.

So basically a gofer.

Look I'm not here to defend my husband but I wouldn't support something if I felt it wasn't a great thing no matter who it was, including my husband. I am one of the best saleswomen in the world without a shadow of a doubt and always have been since I was a very small girl and I know a great product when I see it. What I have seen this year is a vocal minority of people who get butt-hurt that they are not a special snowflake anymore and butt hurt their opinion isn't well received so they shout louder or find someone who agrees with them to try to validate their opinion. It is also interesting as a female as I receive quite a significant amount of harassment and abuse for no good reason other than being female. Used to happen a lot more earlier this year, thank god that's changed.

And I think there is enough of the game out and its being optimized. I see a lot of games and try them and I am just plain and simply Bored. For $45 we are a steal! There's plenty to do for that amount and tell me which game out there in the world hasn't been late??? You want a s**** game or do you want to wait? Thing is companies aren't showing it as they go. If GTAV had been open development or Fallout 4 or Witcher 3 people probably would have been doing the same thing they are to us and they've certainly taken more than 3 years for their game! Everyone voted for more, no-one wanted a $10Million game. That doesn't buy you much. There aren't more talented people out there for the CryEngine - we have the best. Want to ask the German team or Paul Reindell or Mark Abent or Sean Tracy or a genius at CryEngine what they think of Chris' coding? He re-wrote a bunch of the code to make it do what it does now that hasn't been done before! Like I said, I am one of the best in the world at what I do and I know something great when I see it. The pupil to planet video is absolutely mind-blowing and I haven't seen any other game out there that appeals to me more than that did when I saw it. 2.0 as the bugs are fixed is also amazing and I've had more fun playing that than I've ever had playing Elite.

Anytime I see one of those posts of a backer bragging about reaching some new Ultimus Legatus Grand Marshal level of funding I just imagine them sitting in their gamer chair swirling a glass of wine in their hand perusing the Star Citizen store pondering intently if they should go with the "wood panel" or "weathered gunmetal" for their new ships cockpit interior.
