You'd have to stop your Starfarer in a suspicious area (with no escorts), power down all the systems, leave no-one at the radar station, and ignore all warnings about hull breaches or hacking attempts for them to get on without anyone noticing.


I'm the guy who volunteers to man the radar station while everyone else is having fun doing whatever it is they are doing.

Glad that cotton mouth didn't F your poo poo up, Beet. I'm surprised one got you. Cotton mouths are big on running away and usually I see them jumping out of my path and snake-sprinting to the water. Copperhead is a more common bite. Copperhead relies on his camouflage so he will sit still like a flounder fish and let you step on him or put your hand on him, and then it's too late.

Lately however, I have seen cotton mouths acting more aggressively. They have been swimming across the bayou straight towards me a couple times and I've heard similar reports from some other guys I know. Maybe because of spawn.

Thanks commando, me too. I didn't really think much of it (who doesn't get bitten by snakes on occasion?) until Kelly ID'ed it and told me what it was. Guess I'm just lucky - or the little guy felt like being nice that day. I think the problem was I had him backed up against the bank. I didn't realize he was there till he got me, but it wasn't in a lot of water and my calf was between him and freedom. Sorry, little dude!

He can't, it's clipped through the saucer and into the table.

I'm just happy to see CR address the community again.
It feels like the other 10FT*'s are astroturfed, soft copy, lacking substance, and that reduces confidence.
I don't think it can be denied, while surely irrational economically, that part of the $116M pledged so far is a vote of confidence in one person. So it's important for CR to be seen and heard often.

That's fair enough, isn't it? Star Citizen in 2012 was a prototype and promises; in 2016 it's nearly launchable - indeed, it aims to be a release-able package at some point this year. In other words, it's happening.

Is it though? Is it really?

I dont think he knows theres 2 separate games.

Like he got an email from his editor that said "hey, kotaku did a piece on star citizen, write a quick article about it for release tomorrow", and then spent ten minutes on reddit.

It's also typical game journalism, almost zero research and no critical thinking at all. "Huh, they wrote in the ToS that they don't have to grant refunds, guess that must be true since it's written in the ToS and those are always right, everywhere on the planet. Surely nobody would lie in those, right guys?!"

You gotta put 'em down before they get up to speed. If they get into a full charge they're basically unstoppable. Only thing is they don't turn so good, you gotta time it right but you can get out of the way in a pinch.

HELP ME
Also why do these articles claim this ToS change makes it "harder" to get a refund? They were already denying them across the board before, now it's literally impossible due to the nature of the ToS.

How can it be "harder" to get a refund when it explicitly says "NO REFUNDS"? Is this just gaming journalism or what? Am I taking crazy pills?

edit: the only way I've seen people succesfully get refunded for the last year is via chargeback. So saying it's "harder" to get a refund makes as much sense as it's really "hard" to lift a ten ton boulder.

I'd be genuinely surprised if even the die-hard-iest of reddit spergs thought SC was nearly launchable. That's a mentality that has seriously bought into the worst of the "minimum viable product" preaching on a very deep level.
