Store Citizer has this weird straight morality about it though, I guess taking its cue from the backers and the executive team. There's nothing weird or alien about anything in Star Citizen (apart from maybe the Vanduul's arse-sniffing double seater spaceship but that was quickly squished), everything is very 90s frat bro flight deck straight, I mean, God knows how the repressed sexual urges of the crew on board the Bengal or whatever might manifest themselves after spending 6 years in space, but in Chris' mind, a butt slap in the showers is a sign of manly camaraderie, and the more towel flicking in the men-only dorms the better because the Pacific War 1942.

Erin would probably take over, because the whole I'm-carrying-on-my-dearly-departed-brother's-DREAM narrative would probably have the most appeal to the backers' wallets, and consequently to CIG. Every new marketing video would contain references to the sainted Chris Roberts and his VISiON for the game which he definitely articulated clearly to everyone and didn't just um-and-er his way through while making weird hand movements before demanding better shoelaces on the space marine armor or whatever.

I'm picturing this with Erin with a distant look, and the. Vietnam gunfire happens as black and white visions of CR slowly pan across the page as he struggles to use a computer, probably visions of that one time he played his game.

Sure would be nice if Chris could show us how much he loves playing his own game he's making for himself that he's always wanted to do his whole life... one more time. I mean honestly, can't he at least play it twice before he dies or officially moves on?

Ah no... you clearly aren't taking the right vitamins.

Next time you go to one of those cig con pyramid scheme meetings you should ask Chris what the best vitamins are you can get your hands on in the area.

Who knows, this might lead to a wild night of you both having some action packed adventures together that night as you spit on all kinds of cakes and who knows what else!!!

When you wake up you might be on a yacht in the caymans or something! Anything can happen!!!

Thank you for pointing this out. The amount of funds they managed to get from secondary streams surprised me.

Sometimes I wish I could just hang out ik their office for a week, see how such an operation feels, figure out how much of their own bullshit their execs actually believe, what they talk about during their stand up meetings, whether designers and artists actually expect their work to go anywhere

I'm pretty sure the character artists CIG have don't know how to do that. Appealing, sexy characters are not in their repertoire of middle aged men rubbing down space cars or sipping coffee.

I'm also not a lady who is offended at armor that is not designed to look sexy in a video game. I'm all for boob physics and whatever else you want to throw in there so long as it's not too gross or silly. Though I will note that boob physics generally should be defeated by a simple bra... it's your artistic choice though.

I have not seen a character out of CIG that is appealing. They butchered Mark Hamill by giving him the Hyper Realistic CGI++ treatments to the point he looked like pore craters of fidelity. I guess maybe the Liam Cunningham character looked pretty good and attractive for what it was... but I'm not sure if I'd call it creativity when they just scanned his likeness into the game for that one scene years ago.

Really I guess their most creative character is the Hello Kitty knock off, and it's not nearly as appealing as the original Hello Kitty... but I guess it's something right?

Planning on finding all the scenes where the CR character is snorting vitamins off of his desk and just saving and reloading that scene over and over and pretending I'm at a behind the scenes Star Citizen event.

But maybe that is asking a bit much... not sure if Love Pledge has invented persistence yet to be able to save and load your game and you show up at a specific spot where you saved it. Pretty sure this is still never before seen tech CIG is pioneering.

A quick reminder that "flight ready" just means that you can no-clip your ship around, most of the non-fighters are missing pretty much all functionality.

11 out of 17 vehicles are drivable for players (65%)

8 out of 11 snubs are flyable for players (73%)

50 out of 55 small ships are flyable for players (91%)

16 out of 22 medium ships are flyable for players (73%)

14 out of 27 large ships are flyable for players (52%)

1 out of 12 capital ships are flyable for players (8%)
