I'm not sure what it is but looking at the graphics in SC are really starting to feel dated now. I think it's the simple lighting and shadows and the way everything is clean and empty.

It looks pretty bad, especially those animations they wasted millions mocapping.

If they go the BMW route then you also need a license for all the gizmos, and selling the vehicle on requires the new owner to also purchase licenses for the gizmos or they will not work.

Think about the value!

Is this one of the reject leather jackets from Johnny 10 Jackets?

Also I will never stop enjoying this game from the perspective of watching somebody who never left the 80's and early 90's with a WW2 fetish. Good job CR, keep these great and creative ideas pumping. The money is on the table still.

CIG knows the best way to appease everybody is to let them buy more things.

If it gets real bad they'll just wheel out whoever has the password to Chris' account and make a long rambling post that explains nothing. That pleases everybody for at least 6 months.

How is any 2-seat gameplay going to be better than the Vanduul ship where the co-pilot goes rear end to mouth?

They run the turret. Effectively, that means the ship has 4 guns that will never be useful, just like every other fighter with a turret. This turret can flip to cover the bottom of the ship, which I guess would be useful if ships couldn't spin like tops on any axis.

Citizens have still not caught on to this basic fact of turret uselessness after like 4 different fighters-with-a-turret have come out, and each one has quickly been abandoned by the community.

Unless this new ship positions the two seats in a 6 9 formation maybe? That way the co-pilot could be handling the main weapons system while the pilot could be working on redeverting power from the co-pilots weapon system.

It just could work!

What it actually is, as far as I can tell, is another price-point for a single seat fighter that CIG had not quite covered.

$60- Avenger Stalker
$70 Origin 325a
$75- Arrow
$90- Gladius
$100- Anvil Hawk
$110- Anvil Hornet
$115 - Esperia Talon/Shrike
$170- Sabre
$180- Super Hornet
$195- Anvil Hurricane
$220- RSI Scorpio, Ares Inferno/Ion
$235- Vanguard Hoplite
$275- Vanguard Sentinel
$290- Vanguard Harbinger

When you actually line up all the ships by price it's really loving obvious that they want there to always be a $10-$15 upgrade from your current shitbox when it turns out not to be very good

Yeah, there's an obvious untapped sweet spot @ $150 that they must be saving for later.

It's become so normalized by Citizens and those of us who follow Star Citizen but just looking at those ships prices is insane. Those are real dollar prices for a single small ship in a broken alpha space game.

You could buy like 5 full priced AAA games or like 12 really good indie/lower budget games for the price of one lovely space JPEG.
