It's... complicated. After several months of back and forth, Patrick finally set the record straight on why I was banned:


But then Sandi sent this:


Unfortunately I had already sent out the e-mails. I then tell her that, she asks why, I tell her why, and then a member of the press contacted me and told me something interesting. So I sent a follow up:


I don't know what to think anymore. I suspect neither do they.

Beer...you play this thing beautifully. I mean this completely unironically. It's one thing to just be a persistent effortposter for this long, no matter how amusing you find it, but it's another thing to be able to play it this cool and well at the end.

so she said that "she just got your email" pretty much right after you put the exchange out on imgur and this thread?

It was a few hours later that she responded, although how she "just got this" after nearly a week is beyond me.

The first part, yes. The idea is literally that you fly your rear end over to the arena, dock, spend a minute watching animations for getting out, going through airlocks, and then getting killed by someone camping.

What I'm learning is that these people probably thought Metroid Prime was the most amazing game ever with 0 loading screens, if that's all it takes to make them completely unaware what is happening.

No, I asked her and she didn't respond for six days. So I told her that six days was more than enough time to wait and posted everything.

EDIT: Actually I told Patrick, since he had responded in that e-mail for me.

My bad, apparently I read through the imgur version too quickly while at work and got it confused.

Wow that was amazing, I admitted I was wrong about something and survived. I'm well on my way to being prepared for the surprise release of the BDSSGE and having to admit I was wrong about that too.

this.

I can't believe that they've been asked for comment from the media on this and said something that completely contradicts their own story up to this point. This is the most incompetent and uncoordinated PR staff I have ever seen. They're somehow going to snowball what should be a complete non-issue into a story.

Hull A : 21.7m
Hull B : 49.2 m
Hull C : 104.5 m
Hull D : (Assuming 200m)

Lets say loading and unloading a hull A with the "Cargo commander" mini game take 4 minutes.

Assuming a linear progression form Hull A to D, each vessel increasing in cargo capacity we get 32 minutes (4*2*2*2) of load - unload time for a Hull D.

Fun !

You don't unload it, you have your crew of slave scrub players do it for minimum wage while they try to earn their first spaceship.

Khanstant posted:

OK whatever, but again, what happens when you get to the FPS part? Do you like, dock your ship, go through a minute long standing up animation, walk to your exit hatch, put on space suit, decompress or something, then open exit and step out, and then BAM you're in combat and someone shoots you in the head as you walk out? Or do you do all that and then walk to some other door which is where you get to enter the FPS zone? When you die, do you respawn? Is there a point? Or do you just shoot NPC mobs or something. There's so much words about this game and I've been following it since the kickstarter and I feel like I just know less and less about this game the longer it goes on

That's the magic of open development.

Sandi said to Beer that people believe "I'm spending backers money on my acting," using her words.

There's a reason people can think that, Sandi.

"I took a chance on you with this job. You think you can find another job elsewhere? Well go ahead. I see every loving email thread. I OWN your email threads.

Oh yeah, like your going to let those filthy, not-backing plebs unload your precious cargo of "Flora pleasure system".

But seriously, even if you get console peasants to do it, your still waiting a half hour for the next cargo run.

Can you really imagine loading a 200m ship with grabby hands like the vending machine ?

I just caught up after a couple of busy days at work and holy loving poo poo this thread is the best.

I finally listened to the Escapist podcast covering Star Citizen and that really put a different spin on things than this thread. In here it's "Star Citizen is a cult for dumbass nerds and they are bad hahaha" but the podcast was more of "Star Citizen is a criminal enterprise to such an extent that the people in charge all belong in jail for serious crimes. And there are dumb nerds." It was a good listen though.

Also, I find it interesting that Chris and Sandi are merely leasing their Porsches and mansion. I assume that's so that when their assets are seized during the investigation proper, they don't lose any assets they own?
