Idris M Pricing also collapsed from a peak of $3800 from memory, down to $2400 for anyone looking to pick up a wild bargain. https://www.reddit.com/r/Starcitizen_trades/comments/3qvknw/blackmarket_idris_m_2299_just_how_low_can_it_go/ Scythe's down from a peak of $1800 to $1000 now. Grey market RSI rate (non LTI) remains steady at about 80-85%. LTI looking at being "valued" at about $0-$20, with "Limited ships" being kind of useless - probably because they aren't limited at all. CIG finally did it. LTI is worth nothing, even on the grey market.

Justin Tyme posted:Hey redditors, it's not Illfonic's fault Star Marine got shitcanned (yes, it got shitcanned, the assets are reused but all the FPS stuff was recoded), but rather CIG's dumbass decision to contract out part of the game while they were converting the engine to 64 bit, making anything Illfonic made unable to be merged into the main branch. They completely wasted their money other than whatever reusable assets they might have got from them and you are all idiots if you can't see that it's all been redone from the ground up. What infuriates me - Everyone is entirely blind to the gross inefficiencies that were done and whiteknighting CIG, while seeminly embracing the idea that "SQ42 will fund the PU".  - Millions upon millions were utterly blown on arrogance. - "Open development" being everything (spamming PR crap) while refusing to talk about the things that really matter. - Studio "updates" that are always positive - without acknowledgement of the genuine issues and problems that come with development - a far departure from the "honest look" backers were supposed to get into the project - Not so much as a pie chart showing the financials. - "Demos" that are "built" for the purposes of showing off the game, not showing actual progress. They actually said "we learned so much in getting the demo ready". Truly frightening. Oh well. At least Ben has lost some more weight and is being heartily congratulated for it.

Can someone please point me to any formal posts / discussions justifying / disclosing that Sandi Gardiner has a role in SQ42? Does she have any talent in acting? Do we have any clips? Is she being paid what the others are or is she acting for her current wage to help cut costs for SC? If she was paid, did she renounce her salary she pays herself currently? Or did she do DOUBLE work and get both? Are there any rumblings about this in the brown sea or have I missed it? (Or did the thread get locked, the poster banned or the post sent to oblivion in the concern thread?).  Edit : Oh - And did CIG bother to say that she was going to be acting / we were backing to kickstart her acting career at any point or was that part of the "suprise" and the Chairman's vision? Pay analysis of what she likely got for her last gig vs. the lowest paid actor in the cast would make for interesting reading. If this is legit, it should have been disclosed and explained to backers. This just seems ridiculously self-indulgent. Her name was also left off somewhere, but now its in? Edit 2 - Karl - Go sell all your assets. How much are you in for? A heavy investment impairs judgement. Then start listening and looking a bit more closely. Notice the gaps and silences in the official dialogues we are given. Look at the community and how they deal with criticism. Ask yourself whether you have ever known a work project to go smoothly. Ask yourself if we deserve to know what is actually happening. Then ask yourself if that is what we have gotten. Separate Derek and Star Citizen criticism in your mind. Have a coffee. Now try again.

CrazyTolradi posted:The most hilarious part of the SQ42 casting is that she's billed before people who, you know, have an actual career in acting. They've long since stopped trying to hide the obvious nepotism that's going on. If this poo poo was being done by any other studio, say one backed by a publisher, there'd be howling from Reddit so loud you'd hear it out in space. This really annoys me. Did she audition? What was the process? "Hey Erin, decide if my wife is good enough"? "Hi Erin, hey, put Sandi in there somehow" or "Hey Erin, Sandi's going to be xyz - make it work!". Nepotism and conflicts of interest more than anything else drives me up the wall. It poisons whatever it is part of and chokes the life out of anything good that is still there. It demoralises. It invites the misuse of office. Then there's the preferential treatment, and special patronage that works as a shield to hide and prevent proper criticism and work flow. The many hats basically means that she's not 2ic and the first rule of working there remains what it is - Don't upset Sandi. It undermines faith in a project and makes things look like a family business run not for the backers. Did I mention its bad for morale? Everytime there is a raise or promotions it causes more problems - though with Sandi already riding high, I guess there isn't much left to take. Nepotism and its cousin, hiring friends, are the leading methods of keeping other ethnic and racial groups out (except the obligatory black sports reporter and rapper friends which appear to be paraded around recently). Nepotism also exacerbates beneath the surface problems and breeds a culture of "loyalty" and special family secrecy. Ugh. The silence on the RSI forums is deafening.

AP posted:His RSI profile lists him as a "Space Marshal" on the Bridge to Total Freedom , so somewhere between $5-10K.  Karl - I used to be a Grand Admiral. The "used to be" is the redeeming part. Think about many of the people you trusted to deliver the project. Where are they? How many are gone? Why did they go? Do you really believe there is smoke without fire? What happened to dissent? The promises to engage with "concerns"? They got shunted to a "concern forum" that barely made it into "Star Citizen" at all. When was the last time devs responded to ANYTHING in there? We are 90 million+ in, and still no FPS delivery and no admission of a mega botchup SOMEWHERE. You think they are being entirely honest with us? Remember promises of being shown things "as they actually were"? Remember the "We won't take any funds until SC is delivered" statement from CR? Do you believe they are taking a wage? Do you believe this? Still no real way of explaining how the economy will work, mudflation will be handled? Do you think they are really thinking ahead enough, or bumbling, imperfectly through a one-man decision making funnel called Chris? When exactly do you believe the PU will ever be delivered? Still ships are being released on concept and still people are being milked more. Change of terms of service on the sly? Rewriting hundreds of lines without proper notification? Official silences on embarrassing yet crucial questions? Wake up. Karl, you too can set yourself free. (Unless you bought an ungiftable mega pack of course.) In which case, you might still be able to cash out at 80%. No game is worth that much. You hear that tiny voice in your head saying "you spent too much"? The voice is right. Listen to it now.

Concierge weighs in on complainers. Response was to a backer (now banned) who complained he had gotten less, not more than he was promised. https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/290440/thank-you-chris-roberts-for-the-uec/p2 Tokomi Tokomi AggressorBacker TOKOMI Posted: October 17 To our beloved Complainers: perhaps you backed for the wrong reasons and now, since that is revealed, you are naturally disappointed. .. who knows? But had you gone in for other reasons you wouldn't be here griping. Again, who knows? In any case, you could do yourselves a favor and simply stop cluttering up threads and forums, be silent, or go away - for the short or long or permanent term. Removing ypurself fropm the source of pain may ease it. There are options of recourse for you. But it seems to me that you probably know that, adults that you are, yet whining about abput it here simply reveals your either immaturity, inability to cope, desire to tear the project down, or a combination of all those. What it doesn't do is change absolute facts or give you your passive agressive demands. With respect, I pity you. :/ --- Moving on... Instead of a CS ticket simply saying thanks. I'll say it here. Thanks, CIG and CR. Jolly capital of you. You didn't have to do that. Permalink FlagQuote

D_Smart posted:Not really. Sandi didn't discover a diploma. She discovered a letter supposedly from a Dean. Alright, I've got one of those too. It's something they do in Australia when you do really well over a semester. If you are on track and get a high GPA for the subjects you did that term (Average a distinction), you get an award. At the end of your degree, if your GPA is high enough, you get one of those letters - at least that's how it worked in the Uni I attended. Based on that, in my opinion, it does look likely she has a degree in something.

https://www.reddit.com/user/Accelerwraith was banned from /r/starcitizen_trades not /r/starcitizen. Permabans from there are usually permanent and bans do not carry over to /r/starcitizen. The context of that post was that people were utterly outraged that someone would buy a limited ship like the jav and then sell it for profit. The sheer outrage and fury that you would deny a true believer a ship was seen as scalping and so attracted the rage and ire of the loyalists. The outrage of that particular citizen was such that he wished death on the one that did it. Reference : https://www.reddit.com/r/Starcitizen_trades/comments/2np2d4/blackmarket_javelin_destroyer_with_lifetime/ The OP later posted this: [–]Gamediscount -38 points 11 months ago Okay, I posted this over there but I'll post it here too because a lot of people are mad at me for doing what I did. I understand a lot of people are angry about this, but consider that what I am doing is not that much different than many traders here. I don't see myself as having inflated the price all that much-people on here sell the Idris-M for 4x-5x more than its original price, or aurora packages for 3x-5x their original price. I'm only selling it for just a little over double its original price. I do not think I am being particularly unethical with regards to my pricing here. No one complains when people sell their Idris, 890 Jump, or Phoenix for double or more, but I get singled out as evil for doing the same with my Javelin? I get that some of you are mad because you could not get one, but there are still 199 left for you to get at CIG's price. Jethro_E7 fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Nov 4, 2015 |

And when scores of people tell you they can't work with someone, there's smoke. Add that to the ex-employees, and I have little doubt about what is happening behind all the smiley faces.

From RTV INN transcription [What will the mocap studio in the office provide?] It's a shared space. They're building 3 standing spaces for community productions, one for AtV, one for Meet the Devs, something else. They'll be on wheels, so when they need to do mocap with the mocap equipment they have, they can wheel that stuff out, and do mocap in the room. Performance capture will still happen at proper studios. There's an AtV set, an all-purpose one for interviews, and a third one for a new 'Dev vs. Dev' show. They need a LOT of mocap for things. One thing they do when creating new ships is look at angles on walkways and how doors opens, and they invariably need new mocap done for each new ship that comes around. https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3rsofi/reverse_the_verse_episode_70_inn_transcript/

People have refused to accept them before, like Morland, though it came at a cost of not getting final payouts. Perhaps buy these guys out when they leave, so they are not forced to sign. Ad for this Vox interview, Derek - You will get more notoriety from refusing to speak to such a jerk than you will talking to him. If that makes you feel better about even having considered it in the first place. The world doesn't need people ending up in a cess-pool. Now and then Goons here genuinely give you friendly advice and steer you in the right direction and protect you from your own judgement (as you try and do for those who bought into SC). Surely you know that by now. Don't let pride blind you on this one. When goons are not busy ruining everything, they are right.

He also gets to use his interview with you to prove he's not racist one day if he wants/needs to. Think of what he will do with your name and association. This could end up being another coke machine without the amusing side to it. Listen to it... "Brainstorm with Derek Smart - As part of the ongoing efforts to provide this blog community, and the Brainstorm members, with added value" = "Yes, as well as come here and talk about Hitler and segregation, we add you with EXTRA Value - Derek Smart! - Aren't you glad you signed up?!" Idea - Either be a strong bastard and say "I'm cancelling because I realised rather late, admittedly, that my talking to you about Star Citizen and my life would give material support to a cause I don't believe in", or "I'm feeling ill and can't make it" (which is wussy but at least your not going there) or troll the crap out of his show and make it such an absolute embarrassment to Vox that he refuses to put it on his site due to how much it will upset his fellow neonazi's.)

It is the two part issue of firstly, a lack of confidence in CIG marketing and the realisation that nothing is rare - the "investors" (who intend to sell) have backed off leaving a cooled market, and secondly, the fact that LTI is dead, as any ship can be CCU'd into it. The final blow will be unmelts, where you can press a button, get any LTI ship back on your account. The latter is more influential than the former however - look at the Melt prices - they are still sitting at about 80-85% which is typical. When that collapses - CIG really does have a problem. The article is worth a read, but was back in the hightide of the grey market.

"To that point, the Constellation Phoenix has proven so popular that RSI produces only a select number every sales season, a tactic that has done well to preserve it’s high demand and resale value year after year. For 2945, Roberts Space Industries is proud to release another 5000 hulls, matching it’s generous rollout from the year before. This year however, in order to maintain a finite and limited stock, Cross-Chassis Upgrade to the Phoenix will not be enabled. This ship will remain on sale throughout the weekend, ending either when time runs out, or the limited stock is exhausted." https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15079-AnniVERSEary-Sale-Transporters Very generous indeed!
