:actually: Development proper didn't start until 2015.

So we're really only in the fifth year of development.

And considering the amazing innovations the dev team has achieved, we're way ahead of schedule.

You're forgetting that they get 4 years of development done in 1 year so even then it would already be 20 years of development.

Nobody could possibly be so stupid as to rip off two of their ship designs in the same week!

Looks like this one got leaked to streamers first (again) and the marketing material says it really punches above its' weight!



That's clearly a Project Ryanarcher, a completely original design

PC Gamer promotes free fly event in less than enthusiastic way

quote:

In the strange way Star Citizen often handles these shows, there'll be a digital not-Top Gear host running around the expo providing "hot takes" on the latest ships and running fictional "Best-In-Show" awards starting November 29th.

This'll be the first time Star Citizen has done a free fly event since I built a new PC, mind, and I am tempted to have a poke and see if the ships are good. Even so, it's increasingly hard to muster excitement for a game that's consistently pushed back its own deadlines. Despite having brought in over $300 million as of June, singleplayer campaign Squadron 42 now sits without any anticipated release window.

Still, Chris Roberts insists a final release is coming, writing: "I can promise you the gameplay I described is not a pipe dream, nor will it take 10 to 20 years to deliver."

Anyway, Jo Blo is at it again.

Man, I don't care about the MMO-side of Star Citizen at all. Squadron 42 is the only thing I want to see... Put some focus on that, RSI!

This reminds me when I was in a kitchen store and old man walked, he brought in an old frying pan that was hosed along with a receipt so old it was yellow. When he tried to return his frying pan that came with a "life time garentee" he was told that the life time of a frying pan was only 6 years so he was poo poo out of luck. How ever he could buy a replacement that came with a life time garentee!!

To be fair to the old man the "life time guarantee" phrasing was specifically chosen to imply that and thus create that misunderstanding.

You can find them in army surplus stores and gun shows. They succkkkk (an exception are the EU ones that are just a bunch of off-the-shelf cans with stuff that people actually voluntarily pay for), not as much as SC of course, but it ain't a good experience unless you're like my cousin who once remarked that dried dog food "was ok".

And it wasn't even expensive dog food.
