Haha, we have a supposed online game that is in its twelfth year of development and they still have not figured out how to consistently persist items that were bought with real money.
I dunno - how is a loadout more pay2win than a ship with naval grade weaponry?
It’s entirely possible that you can buy the load out, face away from the ship, invoke mobiglass and enter some obscure key combination, and all that naval weaponry turns into burritos.

By the way I can't help but get you into one of my favourite french expressions : "le dindon de la farce", which means "being the fall guy", but literally translates to "stuffing's turkey".
And oh my how CIG is best damn turkey stuffer ever! And oh my how SC fans are the most grateful turkeys of all, always praising and praying for being stuffed more and more, whatever rancid and disrespectful it is!
The farce is strong in this one.

Some ships require many crew members, which currently can only be human player.
Once NPC crew is implemented however... (and fixed, and then fixed again, and then again and then again and then maybe it will work 10% of the time) Just you wait!
No.
He go through a massive disclaimer about alpha when he pledged SC and every time you launch the game you have to click this.
When they try to get all of these players and NPC crew on the ship, plus all the other players who are flying around in their crewed up ships trying to shoot tons of missiles at the behemoth vessel, how will it play at one frame per minute?

They should really change "May occurr" to "Will definitely occur in great abundance" to fully cover themselves

NPC crew will just form a T-posed shiled wall around your ship to prevent that.When they try to get all of these players and NPC crew on the ship, plus all the other players who are flying around in their crewed up ships trying to shoot tons of missiles at the behemoth vessel, how will it play at one frame per minute?

EVA!
Not a new thing though, been going for ages, particularly in the subscribers monthly perksGoing beyond selling ships for money, they are now selling loadouts.
Extras - “Lodestone” Armor & Sniper Rifle Kit - Roberts Space Industries | Follow the development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42
Roberts Space Industries is the official go-to website for all news about Star Citizen and Squadron 42. It also hosts the online store for game items and merch, as well as all the community tools used by our fans.robertsspaceindustries.com
They're just different coloured versions of kit already purchaseable in game with in game cash from any shop...or found in loot crates. There's nothing special about them except the colours
When it comes to issues, CI be like:They should really change "May occurr" to "Will definitely occur in great abundance" to fully cover themselves
MAY = WILL
When it comes to features, CI be like:
WILL = SOON *
* They already talked about it! Read the monthly report!
I keep thinking, did he use his own money to get that Arena Commander t-shirt made or was it part of game development?Like, Star Citizen commercial launch: 2016, for example
Source: https://youtu.be/T7WhJGaF5ZM&t=4m37s
Did they pay the settlement with backer's money or company profit? Considering there's no product, I can't see how they'll have any money not assigned to game development. Another one of Chris Roberts using money for something other than what he's supposed to?
In the debbie downer quote there was PES. Maybe CIG removed thoat Master Mode because they need PES to mean Persistent Entitiy Streaming instead. I don't understand game development.
Pets? - Star Citizen Spectrum
Dear CIG, Please let me have ship-board cats. They're good luck, I swear. Thanks.robertsspaceindustries.com
Someone want to remind them that pets are already paid for. They were the 64 million dollar stretch goal for 1 million dollars.
Surely CIG must be the cusp of adding them by now!
Are Master Modes The End of the Light Fighter Meta? - Star Citizen Spectrum
Honestly, I can't wait for master modes, I think it was all the way back in IAE last year where they first began to flesh out what they were going to do with them. It's weird to think that Star...
Why are citizen excited for something that already exists in other space games? Surely they don't think CIG should copy other space games???
Also, a Debbie Downer pointing out that SC already had something similar before, and it was removed!
Spectrum - v7.50.0
RSI’s Spectrum is our integrated community and player interaction service, including chat, forums, game integration, and Player Organization facilities. Player Organizations (“Org”...
Seems like they are serious, but could easily be a troll post considering backers often say it can't be pay to win, because there is no winning, therefore duping shouldn't be an issue really should it?
And a couple of threads about the new career kits:
The Disclaimer That The New Profession Packs Aren't Persistent Due to Crash Or Death Was a Nice Touch - Star Citizen Spectrum
Did I make this in MS Paint? Who could know for sure? It would have been a nice touch. I know if I were new and just bought in and 30k'd and couldn't get this pack back and had no warning this...
Career kit for real money ? - Star Citizen Spectrum
So I don't know if I missed anything, but there's still no way to get this back after you lose it from some bug... right ?
Yeah? So? You get out the maracas and sing La Cucaracha, then.
They're just different coloured versions of kit already purchaseable in game with in game cash from any shop...or found in loot crates. There's nothing special about them except the colours
So, rather than selling the skins which can be applied to the right kit, like in ED for example, they sell you actual items, which you can lose, that cost $10?
The grift knows no limits.
Is that text on the "Play now"/"purchase" checkout?
Not sure if it's a legal "get out of jail" for developers to slap "oh it's alpha/early access so everything is fine" on low quality software they expect people to pay full price (and in this case, well above full price) as "Alpha" is not a universally understood term and "early access" implies "on time access" and that there will be some kind of release, which there is no intention of.

Mhhh NPC crew, reminds me about one multiplayer session I and one of my friends had in Silent Hunter III...we had hunted down a small convoy, managed to get rid of escorts and then surfaced to finish cargo ships. Both me and my friend started to wonder about incoming artillery fire. It seemed to both of us that its surprisingly heavy, though did not manage to hit either of our ships. Meanwhile npc crew was shooting wildly with deck cannon...Yeah, deck cannon...It soon became clear, our NPC crewmen were shooting our own boats instead of cargo ships.
We've been suggesting that for ages, especially since paid for and account tied items like this can now be lost until either a future wipe or Ci~G do what they promised and sort it so they're permanent, replaceable inventory items that remain tied to your personal inventory.
Personally, I'd prefer the appliable skins option rather than complete armour items, saves a load of bleating from the entitled whiners like me who paid for the cosmetic junk in the first place...Yup, I've got loads of it...from a variety of ship paints for every ship I own to fancy coloured armour sets...all bought with bukshee store credit though, I don't spend reall dolla' for tat if I can avoid it.
Like I said, none of this stuff gives any P2W advantage in the slightest...it just looks real purdy
Mind you, I was just as much a sucker with the cosmetic stuff for ED, bought paints and ship kits by the dozen...with real cash instead of store credit
