Like I don't want to oversell it, it's a short, fairly linear hoorah shooter. But it's gorgeous looking, particularly with textures and faces, the writing (by the voice actor for the protagonist, who also did cod:mw) is better than serviceable, the action has that dialled in cod sheen, the space combat is fun as hell and the let's all be sad about the human cost of this terrible war bit at the end is, somehow , not completely laughable (ymmv on that obv).

The one thing sc competes on is ship design, the space ships are mostly f35 knockoffs and pretend space aircraft carriers.

The Scam Anniversary is running from Nov 19th to Nov 26th:

Place your bet on many dollars "worth" of JPEGs they will sell during the scam anniversary!

If there is interest, I will throw down 2 good space games and 1 city-builder game I really like.




Between the 19th and the 26th of November inclusive, based on the API tracker spreadsheet, Citizens donated a huge amount to the Crobbear's vitamin fund: $10,228,478.22

Our winner, commando in tophat:





However, since in fact the Scam anniversary sale did not end on the 26th, but continued through to the 1st of Dec, the total amount spent on JPEGs was actually $19,687,152.55 , so honorable mention to Thirsty Dog for guessing how much money can be parted from gullible idiots:

With time rapidly running out for a 2021 Letter From The Chairman what will the attempt at narrative control be:

  • Give him a break it's Christmas
  • Give him a break he is moving his whole family to the UK
  • Give him a break he is busy sorting out SQ42
  • We saw him months ago we don't need another announcement
  • Nobody actually cares about those things so I'm glad he isn't wasting time on them

They'll just ignore any issues. Thank you for your support in 2021, we love you, the best is yet to come, buy an Idris.

Kings need not raise their voices to be heard

If you succeed CiG.... I mean... my god. You'll raise the bar to a whole other level posted:

  • fire spreading through the ship and you have to leave your seat mid battle to extinguish it before it reaches the power drive or you're dead.
  • meeting alien civilizations
  • engineers having to learn the ships technical build in order to reroute power to certain relais depending on the situation, making sure the crew can survive
  • your own persistent quarters, hangar, habs, outpost, where all the stuff you gather will remain untill needed.
  • fuel, component, weapon, and ship prices all dependant on the ingame economy
  • triggering the most peaceful player into a cold blooded killer or he or she will lose his/her ship
  • org warfare
  • your own ship names and interiors, together with modular components, engineering gameplay, skins, outer hull wear, and battle scars making it truly your ship
  • 100 star systems which you can visit with that ship
  • finding an abandoned temple or derilict spacecraft on a wild planet which you can explore
  • visiting a small outpost on a distant moon from an outer system
  • pirates trying to board your ship after they've disabled it, and you gearing up to counter them
  • alien animals and primitive intelligence
  • walking on board a docked 890 jump for a luxury mission
  • hacking a terminal to get valuable data back to the boss, 6 star systems away.
  • sending probes out to the far edge of a new found system mapping it on your holotable
  • loading your magazine before battle with a valkyrie on the background
  • boarding a derilict reclaimer
  • landing on a jungle planet
  • NPC's with full on scedules and outfits hinting where they're from.
  • Flying through canyons!
  • ...
The list goes on and on.

CiG... IF you can pull this off... God I hope you can pull it off. Please pull it off.

I mean, a good number are variants of other ships, so if they have 1 flyable all 4 are flyable, it really skews the 'finished' numbers

Yeah designing a ship that can hold a farm, a telescope, and a supercollider might have been a tad ambitious given how hard ramps and boxes are.

The one that is the funniest to me is the Nautilus, introduced 2 years ago at a big backer event, and still isn't in the game, its core mechanics (minelaying) still aren't in the game, and there's no hint at all even HOW minelaying would actually work in the game. Yet citizens still talk about it on the subreddit like it's a viable ship that fulfills an important role in their "fleet". :shepspends:
