September 2019 Set 1

September 17, 2019 | 18 min read | Posted by GOONRATHI

September 2019 Set 1 I think there’s 2 crowds on the SC subreddit - one that is all TRUE BELIEVERS that just post screenshots and praise CIG all day, and people just checking in on the development who are much more realistic. The former isn’t even posting in the roadmap threads, and the latter only post when there is development news. So when the sub goes back into fan mode, it’s just business as usual and the same people continuing to post what they’ve always posted.

2019 - August Set 2 Space Court lurches forward Crytek put up the cash. Guess they must think they have a shot. Should be interesting at least. Crytek putting their life savings on 0 at the roulette table. I spent the last 5 hours trying to play Star Citizen. I probably won’t log back on. Convince me otherwise? That was hell, it was the worst experience in any project I have ever had even tho some of the visuals were stunning.

March Set 9 Beer4theBeerGod So that reclaimer ship is playable, for some people I guess. Walkthrough/verbal fellation video here. Kind of looks like they’ve hacked it into the arena commander map instead of loading it in the main game. Commentary below: 0:44- So about half of the ship is the landing gear. Deploying it immediately breaks the particle effects on the engines. 1:27- Oh they’ve started adding “Auto-turrets” since it became apparent that nobody will ever crew turrets on their ships.

March Set 8 3.1 released to PTU https://pastebin.com/QH9QScsH I agree with CIG’s assessment to get the patch out by the deadline at all costs. It looks like shit to us, but to backers CIG is turning it around. Delays have been the number one morale killer. If they delayed the first patch of their new quarterly release schedule, it would kill the enthusiasm for questioning backers.

March Set 7 Which of the following is more depressing? CIG set out to perpetrate a scam. CIG did not set out to perpetrate a scam but once they stumbled into one decided “fuck” it and leaned in? CIG did not set out to perpetrate a scam but found themselves holding a tiger by the tail and have no idea how to get out of this. So they are just pulling more and more money to forestall the day of reckoning.

March Set 6 Rule Change Recommendation - No Concern Trolling So you’re saying that me reading and commenting in a subreddit I’m subscribed to is the product of some kind of collusion because I like to talk with other people on other mediums? Or are you accusing me directly of all that other stuff? If you could please elaborate on this extensive coordinated campaign you believe is going on it would help me know how hard to laugh at you.

March Set 3 Seemingly former Star Citizen stream DeejayKnight is now doing something cool and good by streaming with FIRST Robotics Competition. I volunteer for FIRST. It’s a lot of fun. We’re seeing a lot more Star Citizen fans and streamers quietly slip away lately. The ones that are left are becoming increasingly agitated and perturbed. Eventually the Brown Sea will be distilled down to a single fan, a single solitary drop of pure rage certain that Star Citizen is coming soon.

March Set 2 Sterling has been told for years he should cover the project and has so long ignored it, though he was a natural guy for the job. But I expect he’s getting pinged a lot more now and will see the traction Bootcha’s increasingly getting, he will be dizzied and intimidated by the material already being collated into critique, will let out a big whiny sigh and be finally prompted to summon his schtick and shine his spotlight on the project in the not too distant future.

Worth Clicking: (video: Sunk Cost Galaxy - Chapter 4: The Ecstasy of JPEGs) I am a broken, mouth-breathing, obsessive troll with nothing better to do than make my opinion heard here’s the calendar from the video: https://i.imgur.com/I7CQWnm.png Green line was the initial crowdfunding drive. Red lines are for any time “something is on sale”
