Can't wait to see if the space stations get a concept price tag

(Also later, the Bengal )

12 new ships and 3 vehicles while they still have a long backlog of unfinished ships. Too much development resources goes into these ships.

Hmm... some sort of hew-ha over LTI at the moment. CIG have introduced warranty as a separate thing as well. As far as i can tell, the faithful are now saying LTI wasn't always it was always cracked up to be.

 

[Factabulous]

It was pretty unclear. There are different tiers of insurance / warranty.

I don't know enough to know if Mike is right here

Wait a minute, why would you need a warranty if you already have LTI??

Gotta fund another 2 years developing the next SQ42 demo to justify a further 2 years on top of the previous, what will then be,14 years of delay ...somehow

To quote Captain Kirk in The Final Frontier: "Why does god need a spaceship?"

Hope that answers your question.

I wonder how CIG employees feel after busting their nuts for 2 weeks learning they aren't being compensated for that for at least 2 years (probably more).

Is there a written summary on that section somewhere yet?

 

[Viajero]

Btw, did they state in the presentation if 1.0 means they stop selling ships other than starter ships? Or is the assumption they will continue selling all ships in 1.0+ like they do now?

 

[ECity]

So ships bought with money get permanent warranties. Did they say if warranties can be purchased in-game, and how long they last?

 

[Skizomeuh]

The hater dude, some months ago.

And the faithful, some years ago. Are they the same?

 

[VR Golgot]

Does that explain the new '10 Year' name for this purchase option?

 

[ECity]

Here is a reddit post with LTI and Warranty summary, along with the open questions.

That's the point, you don't...but we also don't need LTI either since all account bound ships will have appropriate warranty and insurance cover...seemingly

Ach, all my ships have LTI anyway...and I've never bought ships in game with aUEC to have to worry about. I can't see me having the patience to go craft one either...I'll be doing the mining/haulage thing like I've always done, probably living in a tent since I can't be bothered with all that base building guff.

I'll craft a pair of woolly mittens and a scarf so I don't freeze to death in my tent

What... is this they're trying to sell folk now?

 

[VR Golgot]

Oh god yeah. They've got a bunch of 'base building' vehicles / ships queued up it seems. To go on sale prior to base building. (And, like, prior to the previous $$$ base building ship being delivered... Or the Galaxy getting the base building modularity they citconned previously... All sales in the bank baby...)

 

[Factabulous]

I think this was my favourite bit of the con - finally a use for Tanks! I wonder if they can climb up stairs
