My lulzidris needs a class 50 engineered lulz-containment expansion
Oh Derek my dear friend... you're passion allways obscured your reasoning. We've come a long way... way before you adopted Smart as your last name (I know and understand your reasons, no biggie one does what one has got to do to cope with these things).
And yes Derek, your info comes from us that feed you stuff in the SA thread and the rest is up to your imagination.
We are the same guys that mocked and alienated you 10 years ago and we are doing the same now, and you know it, but since it suits your agenda you roll with it.
You know that both Bootcha/Beer/Ace or any disgruntled ex-employees are just using you, you can try and use them back to raise "awareness" for your cause but you know that there's no way that this will end up good for you, but you don't really care, there's really nothing left for you besides GamerGate and StarCitizenHate.
The thing is, there's no stopping this Star Citizen train, whatever you and your gang of hecklers try: mock/ harass / stalk / CIG staff at will, scavenge for all the furniture, concept art, lawsuits, peoples personal life at will, do your best at being your worst. It doesn't matter in the end it's just lulz while the Big Boys work.
And people do care about what I do think and post, that's why they feel the need to post back. As you know Star Citizen as now way way more than 500.000k paying backers. In 2015 alone they got 178 million page views and 9.5 million visitors while having 80,000 players playing the 2.0 Crusader Universe. Have a look at the videos in their channel, their weekly show has +100k views , the minor ones go from 20k to 50k. Their gamescom demo amassed millions of views between the 3 official versions and around 4.5 million$.
What's the number of the haters cultists that you gathered? 50? 100?
Just because you try your best to keep screaming and shouting very loud adnauseum doesn't mean people will listen. It's the opposite really, like I said, you burned your bridges by making this personal, you are emotionally attached and that's hindering your judgement even when using the text-book trolling tactics. You went from "Warlord" to "Oh Lord". Oh yes your twitter stats are also impressive 32k tweets 90% about Star Citizen or it's Staff, talk about having a collective aneurysm over a video-game. [rolleyes]
Why do you say I've lost it? Do you see me punching coke machines or shouting from the top of my lungs so that you let me fk finish? Might as well call my PSD Nam Vet friend to clear things out.
You want sources about your 2015 Gamescom diatribes, sure you asked for them.
Just skim trough the pages while you sip your coffee, careful to not spill it. [big grin]

Enjoy Citizens!
I'm not going to try and interject in your (and the entire fanbase) thing with Derek.
But you have to admit - it doesn't really matter.
All the problems and complaints with SC don't exist because DS talks about them - they're there for everyone to see in full view - the whole thing is a matter of public record.
We all know what to expect from citizen Con.
But all eyes now are on the miracle patch 3.0 - if that fixes everything and comes out on time then maybe people will cut some slack.
But until then it's all fantasy - but at least it is still funny.
ETA - can we choose a colour yet for the Idris - or is that V.38?
It doesn't matter in the end it's just lulz while the Big Boys work.

I don't know what an Idris is - but I want one!
The Idris is a glint in CR's eye - made entirely of purest nonexistanium - and features everything in the SC universe that you could ever hope to aspire to being indifferent about. The jpeg pixels are mined, by hand, by nubile space princesses, and delivered to you by electrons that CIG have personally invoked into being just for you.
It's the only ship in SC that a true Citizen would ever be seen in. It's the only ship that shows your true commitment to the vision. It's the only ship that tells the world that you are not some subpar Org scrub who ought to be washing pots on an Aurora.
Believe in the vision.
Buy an Idris!

You need one, go get it!!![]()
Yes? And? (Actually, no, and… there are real-time flight models to the ships — they're just very scaled down).EvE is not a real time simulation. Its a command and control game handled in ticks. There is no real time flight models to worry about. It's about as relevant as WoW.
I need one! How much are they?
They are only ten, TEN, of your worldly US $100 denominations. A bargain!
But WAIT there's MOAR!
In order to give you the best possible value, CIG has seen fit t give you oodles of EVERYTHING in a special package - buy the equivalent of five Idrises and you get fantastic loads of other junk FREE!
Yes - that's a million dollar value right there - and all yours for the incredibly low price of only 8.21 Bitcoin! Hurry - stocks are limited!
Buy an Idris![]()
Yes? And? (Actually, no, and… there are real-time flight models to the ships — they're just very scaled down).
The question was why does it feel more vast and open?
I bought and Idris and all I got was this lousy JPEG!
The difference is that it's a list of headline features, with an estimate of an actual delivery time, whereas SC's list of stretch goals is nothing more than that: bunch of stretch goals. It is nothing even remotely resembling a roadmap, schedule, or deliverables plan like you tried to suggest it was. The difference is also that FDev has delivered on their promised features, at times even kind of close to the suggested release date, whereas CIG is two years behind schedule and counting. You said it yourself: Horizons is out; you already own it.
…but that was never the question, now was it? That's just you moving the goalposts when it turned out that, once again, you hadn't done your research even when it was handed to you and that the thing you said didn't exist actually existed (and, again, was handed to you).
Some differences.
Braben has released his game.
Roberts hasn't, and there is still no clear understanding of when players will really see a 1.0 release with even a 10th of the content promised.
Braben talks more about what he would like to see. "What we would like to do is..."
Roberts makes promises. "Yes, this will be in the game..."
That's the difference.
Perhaps because we haven't paid FD money for nebulous features they haven't nailed down a release date for.
SC is paid for by the backers, who paid that money because CR said that certain things would be in the game. Some of those things are now quietly disappearing, others (e.g. modding/private servers) are being shelved to a point where we can likely assume they'll never happen.
As far as I'm concerned any developer can talk my ear off about all the great features they're going to have - if they're not asking for our money directly to make those features happen. The only place FD are doing something comparable to that is with promised features in the current season of ED, and they specify when those are likely to arrive. Sometimes those dates will still be missed, but I'm sure you'd agree that FD have been pretty honest about delays if and when they happen. Either way, having taken people's money FD do the right thing and tell people specifically when and how the features they've paid for are going to be delivered.
Okay so with regard to putting more faith in DB than CR; DB has a good track record of delivering what people have paid money for in a timely fashion (whether you think what he's produced is good that's down to subjective opinion). CR continues to talk the talk, and take peoples money, all you have is a bug laden Alpha and a release date that is receding ever further into the future (I never called CR a scammer or a thief so that is just some projection on your part, a subconscious fear of yours perhaps?).
So based on that comparison that's why I would believe in ED and not SC.
Okay you're going to hammer ED for delays of 1-2 months yet let the fact that SC is 2? 3? 4? years behind schedule go?! Double standard much?!![squeeeee]
Oh great looking forwards to this one, go on....
The only difference is that on current performance of both developers ED is much more likely to deliver what they have sold to you within a reasonable time frame than SC. At the moment I would laugh in anyone's face if they tried to tell me that SC will be released and deliver all of its stretch goals, the stuff, y'know , before DB announces Season 3. And yet again not knowing precisely when ED is going to deliver seems to be a bad thing but the same with SC is tolerable (buy an Idris)? I sense double standard here...
This is the closest I think you're going to get to a roadmap https://www.frontierstore.net/games/elite-dangerous-cat/elite-dangerous-horizons-dlc.html. It tells you what they're planning, no dates, but hey you seem happy to let SC get away with it why not ED..... oh is that a double standard I see?
Maybe we're just mirroring your behavior
To be fair to SC and CR I don't think it's a scam at all, I think it's just a terribly mismanaged project that is completely out of control. I prefer to "never assign malice where incompetence will do".
I also would be happy to be proven wrong and SC be a massive success and be the BDSSE, I'll even buy it. But I don't think that will ever happen.
Read the Past Pages lol.It was planned. It was in the kickstarter, it was in the development diaries.

1.
Mate no Offense.
But watching that Video and Seeing what DB actually Promised on Stuff. You guys pretty Defeated yourselfs there.
Because Sorry. But I dont see any List of when we See Planets with Animal Life and Plants and Cities etc.
FD apparently has promised an Gigantic Tons of Features for ED. Which they aint even listing anywhere anymore.
<snip>

Heads up it's happy time!
Just one thing Sun - CR didn't promise an MVP by 2014 - you're right (that particular piece of didn't surface till this year I think - or late last year). But he did say the game would be out by 2014.
Estimated yes - but next year is 2017 and it might not/probably won't be out by then either.
How much leeway do you think he's due?
(yes I know you'll say lots of people supported the delay - but we have no idea how many did or, how many more didn't).
