I don’t blame MoMA for not trying, though I disagree with the notion you could conceivably argue that the game’s development is in a good place right now in a way that would be even remotely convincing to any but the most blinkered of individuals. It’s fine to have faith in what’s being done (to a point), but even dismissing the arguments about the financials for CIG you can’t call what’s come out so far a positive sign of progress.

I don’t have the time to go full , however I did want to really quickly jump on the dream. There are a lot of aspects to Chris’ ramblings that I always thought would lose dreamers pretty quick. The best specific is the whole “arma” combat comparison he loves making. I always thought that the prospect of handing their adventure over into the hands of a 2 second ttk (in a game with hours of travel and busywork) that will almost certainly favor the kind of player that most SC fans are desperately attempting to escape would cause something of a riot and demand for a softer combat form.

This has been The Star Citizen Paradox for a few years now.

I’ve managed to fit 8 deskeletonized children into one SCU. They are arranged facing out from the center (they each understand they are alone). The largest ones are in the corners. Some of them will die, but it’s normal so long as it doesn’t happen too soon into the journey because they are Meat. Place into the refrigerated portion of the Cargo Grid that will kill the rest of them because they are Meat.

3.0 Released to wave1
wave1 includes seemingly all the streamers, subscription holders, and many concierge members
Hello thread its time to wake up. 3.0 went public PTU.
So far all I’m seeing on reddit is “screenshot of ugly terrain OMG!” and guys… I’m starting to think that maybe, just maybe… well maybe Star Citizen isn’t that good?
From the announcement:
“The goal of this initial PTU release is to increase our total player count in an effort test concurrency.

CIG probably going to sell virtual plots of land

Claiming Space: The Race for Land
blah blah blah blah
Recently, there has been a major push to encourage the settlement and development of the Empire’s frontier. As part of this initiative, the PDB has been making additional parcels of land accessible to the public for purchase. It is believed by policymakers that as sectors become more developed, they likewise become more secure.

To be honest… And I’m saying this as a first-round crowdfunding contributor who has been following this project since its conception in 2011… You sound like someone in a cult. You’ve been promised so much, and there’s been so much hype, but all we have right now are a few tiny tech demos and a bunch of promises. This game was funded six years ago, has raised over $150 million, and still hasn’t been released, with no clear release date in sight.

god i’d rub anyone to read the amd letter
I have a p good feeling we will see the AMD letter by the end of 2018 or 2019
there’s some serious people sniffing around, and I don’t mean gaming sites n stuff
If the rings spin off due to collisions with player ships, that would be because the rings are created as physics objects (which makes them conserve momentum during collisions), and are configured with a preposterously small amount of mass relative to the ships.

Account Dissection
I’m going to point out one error/mistake in the CIG accounts per day.
1.) Geography
In a consolidated set of accounts for a group of companies you eliminate intra-group transactions. This makes sense, because if you sell goods and services between two companies in a group you would just have matching revenue in one company and cost in the other. So in the CIG UK group, you can ignore the revenue in F42, this has an equal expense in CIG UK that you also ignore.

As I’ve pointed out before, back in January 2015, Roberts delivered a presentation in which he claimed that not only would the first episode of Squadron 42 be released by Fall 2015, but the full commercial release - meaning SQ42 and the persistent universe / MMO - would happen by the end of 2016. He made this claim at 1:32:06 in this video.
At the time of this presentation, the PU wasn’t yet in the alpha stage.
