I am still waiting for evidence to show someone walking upside down on a piece of terrain that has someone else walking normal on it in a no gravity situation.
They don't have it (will never have it) because it isn't a 3d game at all just a bunch of 2d planes getting floated around each other.

You should be able to have someone fly a retaliator upside down to one of the landing pads and then have the guy walk out off the ramp and be upside down to the station landing pad.

We're at war with Goons. We were attacked by Goons. Do you want to kill Goons, or would you rather have Citizens killed?

They've always relied on the $20M Q4 brings in and I always thought there would come a point in time where one year instead of $20M they'd bring in $10M and that is when things would fall off a cliff because suddenly their budgeting is way off and probably can't be recovered from.

Yeah but every year we all think that it is completely impossible for cultists to be stupid enough to toss tens of millions at them again and every year without fail they throw tens of millions at concept art, scripted trailers and demos so fake a child could understand it's not the actual game they bought.

if they do intend on selling a 'limited' amount of this new ship
Have you ever seen a single person anywhere say "I wanted to buy the $1,000 ship but they said they had none left"?

They intend to sell as many as they can. Implying false scarcity is a tactic they've used before. It's shady as gently caress and transparently horseshit, yet backers seem to give zero shits about it.

Oh I don't doubt that for a nanosecond, I'm just wondering aloud whether they have some kind of internal target they need to hit to keep going to the holiday livestream.

reddit are now convinced this new chariot will let you build bases wherever you want and charge people rent on those bases, in this way $850 is good value you see

But what happens when someone builds their lovely base on top of croberts' procedurally hand crafted terrain poi? Welp, that used to be the secret underground lair of the infamous dread pirate crobits where your mission was supposed to happen... now it's a space titty bar.

I really hope the new ship is a some sort of base-building thing. Can't wait for the inevitable video of pgabz glitching into the cockpit and blasting off across space in someone's weed farm, screaming "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!"

Is it just me or are they slowly copying Elite : Dangerous, the game that they hate so much?

"Copying Elite Dangerous" technically has never been done before. So they're still breaking new ground. And ED was self published by Frontier, so "copy of Elite Dangerous" is something "no publisher would ever do. "

This loving moron is actually suggesting that backers reporting and/or trying to get their money back, is illegal. And the guy who created the thread he's mad about, is somehow promoting illegal activity. :vince:

When I cashed out in 2014, I satirically suggested on the forums that CIG consider pursuing legal action against its customers that got refunds. At the time, the few responses I got before Maul or whoever closed the thread gave the impression that the die hard fans weren't fanatical cultists willing do go down with the ship.

Interesting to see how much of the kool-aid they've all consumed since then...

I would love to see CIG sending Ben or Jared to defend how CIG allow its playerbase to build vitual titty bars Vs the usual web feminist accusing all gamers of being chauvinistic pigs.
