Same here, i don't care to wait a decade or more if the level of fidelity is acheive, CIG never dissapointed us in the past 8 years so im prety confident, some people just need to put more faith in Chris Roberts.

Own up, which one of you posted this?

So Warframe's devs are cancelling their big con for the year or at least postponing it due to outbreak concerns. A whole bunch of game devs are doing this where possible, actually. Guess who's not, so far?

Well guys all of this Carrack hype and talk of a white paint job for $25, has finally pushed me over the edge. I am a Star Citizen now. I bought two Carracks, one for me and one for my soon to be Ukrainian wife. Unfortunately the potato harvest on her family farm was bad this year, so she can’t make it to the US for a few more months. But when she gets here, I can’t wait to do some couple’s touring in our matching white Carracks! Really, they were a bargain at only $1250.00. It’s much less than the money I’m sending each month to her via her brother Boris who lives in Russia, and what I’ve been spending on hair plugs, testosterone supplements, and various erectile dysfunction remedies. Anyway I can’t wait to show off all of my girls in the ‘verse! (Carracks and the new wife tehehe!)

When you try and challenge them on some things they will say they voted for it.

Game taking years to release? Voted for it!

Full planets rather than limited landing zones? Voted for it!

They never actually voted for those things.

100 years later you will find this entry in the history books:

the coronaplaque of 2020 was a blessing to humanity and formed society as we know today. before the great "stretchgoal of 2020" as we call it today, people were full of FUD and resentment. many people did not believe in chris and behold most did not even know sandi g., our beloved glitch gremlin.

this is why 80% of humans were punished so that only the faithful may remain. before the "great server wipe", as we call it today, humanity was in a state of tier-0. animal-like distrustful cheapskates. a civilization in decay. people not willing to spend more then 20$ on a bomber jacket, in other words: a bunch of freeloaders.

but the plague brough justice to them and only the generous raised from the apocalypse. and so was the plan: chris himself was protected by 12 shell companies, an impenetrable clutter even for this virus.

also he immunized his greatest followers during the "great whale supper" in frankfurt germany in 2019. he did so by alternatingly coughing on their potatoes and also by handing out wonderpills disguised as vitemine supplements.

the remaining backers were advised to not leave their basement for 5 years (except if they needed to visit their bank for extending their credit cards), an order which they accepted without objection.

[and now i am too lazy to think about a conclusion of this fud-fiction ]

in october we will already live in a postapocalyptic world after the coronaplague of 2020 which erased 80% of the human population.
the only survivors will be the star citizen whales which received "vitamine" pills from chris, during the sales-dinner in germany last year and other star citizen backers (which did not leave their basement all year)

most convention centers are then used to shelter the filthy, huddled masses (a.k.a. Elite Dangerous fans) while star citizen believers are the new rulings class occupying the mansions at the pacific palisades.

My grandfather's 3rd wife was a mail-order bride. She actually made him happy, took care of him pretty drat well, and built herself a good career. So unlike Star Citizen, there's actually some chance you get what you're paying for with a mail-order bride. God drat is this game a scam.

You made the mistake of mentioning lunch. When you do these meetings just before lunch you will never end at lunch. The boss will always say "I know we're running over, if anybody needs to leave you can." And nobody leaves or says anything and the meeting continues until the end of lunch, where you have another meeting already scheduled so you just miss lunch.

I have the vivid image in my mind of a Citizen dying decades from now while waiting for the game to release, and being entombed in their SC themed basement sim-pit, as an aged group of a dozen of their surviving org mates gather at Olisar and play taps over the in-game voice channel. One of them turns on FOIP to try to display their emotional anguish, and is instantly deskeletonized as the server crashes.

In a Cayman Islands luxury retirement community, 95 year old Chris Roberts is about to breathe his last. A snow globe containing a model of an Idris falls out of his hand, breaking on the ground as he whispers his last word “fidelity”.

The next day, Lando breaks the news via Skype from a LA IHOP were he went to catch the senior early bird special. The one dev still working on the game from his college dorm room, switches the game’s version from Alpha 43.5 to Beta 1.0 (Chris Roberts Memorial Release).

Star Citizen goes on to have its best funding year yet, even though CIG now only accepts cash mailed directly to a PO Box in Switzerland. Sandi uses the money to get another round of plastic surgery, so she can audition for the part of a 29 year old struggling actress, co-starting in a direct to video re-make of The Perception, with a washed-up Jacob Tremblay fresh out rehab for the fourth time.

We have been more than supportive, we just want transparency.

We can be supportive and critical at the same time.

I don't question their passion and their ability to pull this off. It's the lack of good communication that I have an issue with.

Which doesnt mean they are right always, lets keep the honest criticism on, so they can keep excelence.

It's gonna be a no from me, dawg. The issue isn't really with the working developer anyway. It's with their leadership. And I'm not for supporting them, until they can lead their people into practical results. Sure, they've made some amazing and cool poo poo, but as a consumer, I still have no meaningful change in gameplay mechanics after 7 years. We have ships with specific jobs they can't perform, equipped with stations with no meaningful functions. I'd be fine with the pace of jobs if they trickled out a bit more, but we still don't have proper cargo. So if they're going to keep building them game in this way, then they need to do a much better job in managing expectations. A roadmap doesn't let you just be hands off with your community.

All we want is communication what the hell is with sq42 roadmap.

Let's be supportive! What is the next ship? $ 400? $ 500? $ 600? buy it! Vote negative for any comment that does not agree with the way CIG acts! Let's make them invisible! Everything is going well!

One thing is having passion, the other is delivering what you have promised after getting millions of dollars. You must deliver the game some day.

I already give them 3000 of my support... Now I would like to see them stop smiling at cameras, making cool videos and shows. Isn't it enough support ?... how much more support I have to give them to have playable state of the game? And don't go on me with APLHA, how I don't understand the development and have patience... I've been through all those white knights. It's the same song over and over every quarter. I want to see a playable APHA state of the game.

It is sickening how this post absurdly implies that the criticism's intention is to attack those individuals personally and their passion! Criticism is vital for success.

Was there a reset over night?

So yesterday when I logged into 3.8.2 live, i had 0 uec but all my personal gear and ship items I bought such as mining heads. Today I logged in and had the money I earned from yesterday but not missing all my personal gear and mining heads....this persistence thing doesnt seem to be working.

Relatively new backer, but my choice back when this or Shroud of the Avatar came out was to go with Shroud of the Avatar. I followed the development of this game and if Shroud has shipped when they originally had intended, I would have kicked into this even earlier than I did, but it didn't.

So, I just kept following the development of this game and once it reached a point where it seemed like momentum had been achieved and something "playable" was there. I bought a package and was immediately... disappointed.

Took a 3 year, trying to play this game, break and instead just followed it as a back burner interest, until 3.8.1 and... Man, it was finally hitting the itches that I thought it was going to hit 3 years earlier.

I have gone in to this, fully knowing what I am funding and what my funding means. So, even if they slip on dates, but continue to march forward, as they have this past 3 years... I will gladly toss them a few hundred a year.

Continued...

It released, it's fun, but I don't see myself constantly playing the game as much as I do and as long as I will, in this game.

I did spend WAY to much in that game.

Probably should sell my account and all the goodies while the selling is still good and... since the money is already gone... just throw it into this one. LOL

At least it would bring me up to Concierge.
