Ah yes, those hand crafted and lovingly cared for jpegs... of which Ben himself said takes a team of people months to even get the concept finished.

But of course, it's no different than Mercedes designing a new car, when they put it together forget the 2nd row of seats. Happens all the time

The radar from Privateer 2 has been around since the first Wing Commander, and I still don't understand why CR just didn't use it again. It's functional, easily understood, and rapidly conveys critical information. Plus it's an easy homage to the original WC.

But nope, gotta have the shinies.

Never mind 'dangerous', this poo poo was more or less nailed in 80s Elite - a left-blob on the end of the 'stalk' is above, and to the right, below:




Given the limitations of 8-bit graphics, the radar here is probably the simplest and best UI I have ever seen.

I think financially they should be safe until SQ42 comes out sometime mid 2017 but we might have be watching the crossing of the Rubicon. 2016 has been a series of PR blunders one after another and it will only get worse, dissent is spreading and even the whales are getting restless. Unless CIG releases something substantial before the summer is over it's probably going to be too late to turn around.

Goons have been playing non-stop, for the most part we've shed our pvp/troll image and most people either pilot or act as travellers on board the super cruise. The mixing drink mini game is the sure way to unlock tons of credits to buy all the ingame stuff. Those of us in debt prison find that mixing drinks on the cruise ship is the fastest way to get one's own ship, but the only one worth purchasing is the cruise ship

It's ok guys, it was a simple mistake. The dev team didn't know how many seats the ship they were building was supposed to have and no one realized what happened until it was already released on the PU.

Hello Commandos
So I went to pick my 3 kids up from school last week in our brand new car, oh man, was my face red when I realised I bought a convertible 2 seater sports car, oh god.
It reminded me of that one time they made that spaceship with one seat instead of two and everyone was all like "oooh ha ha, oh dear, what a crazy mistake!"
Luckily we all saw the funny side, but it took a few weeks for me to live that down ha ha! drat kids had to walk 5 miles home in the pissing rain! Awww man, we laugh about it now though.

I hope that if I'm forced to grow up then I can feel the pain and suffering that is being around Sandi Gardiner and the tease of donuts that is apparently amusing for someone that is suffering through the unfortunate pain of obesity that could claim life? Is that better? I don't think it's better.
