(But now claim, hey, until the module goes on sale you shouldn't make silly assumptions. Like believing detailed stage presentations ;))

Ah, but instead of believing the 2023 detailed stage presentations, we prefer you to believe the 2024 ones and to buy the more expensive ship that goes with it that in essence replaces the cheapo poxy ship we already sold you in 2023.

Is that the gist of it?

Another Galaxy Crew-date:

Just to try and add some extra information as the phrasing for aspects was perhaps not as clear as it could've been, I'm aware that the news is not as hoped but I'd prefer to update now than keep people in the dark until the Galaxy releases.

1) Emphasis on no current plans, this does not exclude that there were plans in the past (as inferred at CitizenCon 2953) or that there could be again in the future, there is simply nothing right now.
2) The way base building works with drones now does not lend itself to the Galaxy's module layout due to their size and navigation requirements and if one would exist in the future, it would be significantly divergent than from what shown on that slide regardless
3) The "confusion" comment was in regards to discussion about why we did not discuss it during CitizenCon 2954 and the ships status, not over past statements existing or not.

Not really adding anything except fuelling the fire 🤷‍♀️ No such thing as bad publicity ;)

The Galaxy wasn't cheap. It was sold as a do anything modular ship (Caterpillar owners snorted their beverages in hilarity at the mention of that). With all the modules, it was $500 (base price with no modules, $380)...but it was sold specifically on the premise of being a base builder with the (unreleased) manufacturing module attached. Now, purely in order to sell a new ship concept (Starlancer BLD) at a similar price point...the Galaxy now conveniently doesn't do any of that 🤭

Not that I'm one to predict backers' reactions or anything...but the people Ci~G really don't want to be pi**ing off, especially with the current air of discontent going around, are the ones who buy $500 ship concepts.

For those of us who were part of the 2016-2017 mass exodus...it started with a similar miscalculation by Ci~G and rather than just a few lower tier backers throwing their dollies out as they mistakenly predicted, it ended up in mass refund requests running out of control until they were forced to pull a halt to the haemorrhage of their funding by altering the TOS and slamming the door shut on refunds outside of a 30 day limit :)

So are they saying now the space stations aren't necessarily in the pipeline ?

Are they saying space stations won't build Bengals?
Does $2000 for a station core, $1000*3 for dry dock, cargo module and flight deck as reusable blueprints sound too cheap?

If this game ever comes out, my plan is to upgrade my starter ship into a Legendary Pure Quality Fully Upgraded Tier-5 Cutter. Then I win.

We still dont know what the new Starlancer BLD price will be, correct? Will Galaxy owners have to fork any extra money to ccu to the Starlancer BLD?

CIG still has a great PR opportunity if they end up offering the transfer at no added cost there.

Are you joking? Ci~G offering a marketing compromise to save face?... :unsure:

Not happening...I suspect the proposed price for the Starlancer BLD will be slightly below...or exactly the same as the Galaxy since Ci~G deliberately don't allow zero dollar CCU's. The only way around it is to melt the Galaxy for a loss...since Ci~G will inevitably adjust the buyback price of the Galaxy to suit the current cash grab, meaning you'd have to add a few dollars cash or store credit to 'upgrade' to the BLD :)

The CCU game looks more interesting by the minute if only the entry bid wasn't that high to get into interesting concepts.

I read Corsair owners hope that the Starlancer MAX increases in price, so they can upgrade their nerfed Corsair to it with more money. As it stands, it's the same price. Melting the package won't return the same amount in store credit for reasons I don't understand, yet.
