It's been two years since SQ42 was on sale, with the belated explanation they were trying to figure out the price.
I hope it is clear by now that the removal from the store had nothing to do with a "price update" but rather perhaps with regulatory or legal issues of some kind, like regarding pre-selling of a product for many years without no planned released date at all, or some such. There is a small possibility it could be also linked to the CryTek lawsuit aftermath although I doubt it.

Does SC have anything new on tap for the future or will it be the same old show? I mean, actual gameplay or just a dressing window as usual?
 
All is well though...

They are selling you what the ship will EVENTUALLY be able to do. Not what it can do now. There are several ships available to buy that cant do what they are supposed to do, either due to bugs or because the gameplay isnt there yet.
This is not new.
Stop clicking 'Got It!' through all the disclaimers and caveats and actually read them?

Oh god yeah. All dreams are still officially in play. (Although 100 solar systems and NPC crew will be 'after 1.0 No dates...').

Engineering Tier 0 is re-entering the pre-test build next patch. (Spoiler: It will break many things ;)). They have lightning damaging ships and impenetrable storms in the patch itself. (Any inability to land in the dark is both gameplay and user error ;)).

Queued up for the middle future are the latest re-reworks to the flight model (atmospheric flight, again, quantum travel changes etc). And the 'maelstrom' physics system. (IE the re-rework of ship damage, including projectile penetration and component damage. Which also changes the flight model as art now defines mass. Alongside Engineering it will break many things ;))

The 'year of stability' will lose its stabilisers fairly swiftly if that lot actually makes the 2025 cut...

So 800 million later still the same we sell ships and you buy them and that's it..... will it ever be a game? 2 billion later and in 2045
 
With my evil head on I almost hope fdev see this and price the Panther Clipper at some massive number - after all it is a massive ship. Both games have chumps around who will pay over the odds because they don't value money.

Meanwhile I'll pick it up in a few months for free ;)
 
I really don't get it. CIG constantly and consistently lie over and over again and yet everyone laughs. After spending $350 on a virtual ship that doesn't do what they promote it be able to do. I find the whole situation to be quite insane. If these streamers were laughing about any other product that is not fit for purpose bought from Amazon, say, it would be to warn potential consumers not to purchase the defective product. Whereas this is being framed to sell trash as some kind of treasure. Which could prompt questions as to what they're getting from it themselves by doing so.

Back in the early 80s I remember when you could send off to get the gas masks that were worn in the belly of the monster (asteroid-wurm? Hey that could be a "new" idea for SC..) in Empire Strikes Back, for your Star Wars figures.. they showed the gas mask wrapped around Chewbacca's head but when you got them they were too small and you couldn't close the loop. And there was a short period of outrage in the playground, but these were gotten for a few proofs of purchase and return postage or something minimal like that. I don't care how rich someone thinks they are, $350 is a lot of money to pay to find out that it doesn't actually work as advertised. And cue laughter. For someone who bought this I kinda feel like the Joe Pesci in Goodfellas response is more appropriate here; "you think this is funny?"
 
Ship naming is such a problem for them, it needs waves and a cooldown.
