You are both right of course.

Even if it's just exaggeration on CIG's part, it's still what would be considered in bird culture to be a... certain kind of move.
Agreed. I don't think their list of planned features is realistic though. That's a super tall order for a project that just a few weeks ago was showing off the grand ability to land on a planet and pick up a box.
I've never played SC - I'm waiting for the game to come out first before I drop any money on it. This way if the game sucks I won't be one of those people that wasted their time and money on it.
It's a weird kind of development when an alpha state actually requires your game to be feature complete. We know ED is not feature complete and we know more work is coming so that definitely makes it early access. Maybe we need a new term for it and call it Alpheta?
I have 80 $ package that if nothing is changed gives full access to both games S42 and MMO part.
I tried if I remember correctly Area Commander 1.0 or it was 1.1 version long time ago...
Latest 2.5 I watched lot of streams and videos and if does not feel worth to try it out again.
I personally do not like ship design style of most ships, they just looks like fighter jets and helicopters in space...except mining ship that looks cool to me
Also their cockpits have just insanely huge and intrusive bars I just hate it.
About gameplay currently CR and fans have great concepts about how piracy, trading and mining will work in MP (Open mode),
but Elite's real life experience shows that not every thing will work nice in real life - griefing, exploits, just unbalanced ships (trade ships vs combat ships) crime and punishment balance or just hacking..
About development a lot of dev time is wasted on unpractical details like toilets and fishtanks, even I understand that graphics sells more ships...and a lot of refactoring old stuff...

Well sure, but how many times are you willing to dance this dance? Once upon a time, 2.0 was the great white hope that was going to show us all. Before that Star Marine (lol), and Arena Commander.
The "netcode" getting "refactored" has turned into an annual event for CIG. Even if you believe in what they're doing, surely constant do-overs of something so fundamental should be raising questions for you.

One of the reasons why I got a refund, too. Promised "exclusive access", then trying out all (!) ships in August 2015 for free. The removal of rentals from the crusader map was after I got my refund.
More like early 2000 PlayStation 2 graphics. Or like Freelancer before the Microsoft buyout. Wait! Suddenly it makes sense.
Don't forget "exclusive" info on the game development promised to original backers. Now that is a monthly subscription feature!
That's CryEngine 5.3. Star Citizen is stuck on 3.7.
The German employees have the worst perspective in this, because legally they can't run away.
I am hearing (as of last evening) from multiple trusted sources, that it's both. They are low on funds, while not revealing (technically, they're not talking, so that's not lying) the truth of why they are still raising money.
Some serious events coming between end of Q4/16 and sometime in Q1/17. More soon.
Can you put a % certainty on that stuff this time around? Like are we talking for definite, or just a rough projection?
ETA: Like, I think you could have some fun using something like http://predictionbook.com/ for this stuff.

At $60M they, allegedly, had enough to complete the game with all the stretch goals.
I always ask SC promoters, do they think CIG would finish and release the game with all the stretch goals included, if funding suddenly stopped.
Never got an answer. [sad]
And these sources are who? How can you prove this? Also haven't you or other people claimed a similar disaster prophecy last year? Or the year before? and for some reason it never happened. CIG is still around.
2.6 is in the pipeline; and will most likely hit before/after CitizenCon. 3.0 (aka Jesus Patch) is targeted for "end of year"; and we all know what that means
Thanks Mr Nowak. The Herald does look like a fun(ky) ship. Like an engine from an Anaconda bolted onto a DBX! At least the designer was talking positively about making sure the interior was big enough to walk around in without clipping, so that is good planning
I don't have DS insight of CIG, however I do know that a new big lawsuit are on the way, if that hit the court it will for sure drain CIG.
It's odd that critical faculties can be suspended when discussing SC, only for them to be, how should I say.....'ferociously re-engaged'...when talking about other subjects.
He's not going to reveal his sources, DS is goingon record with his prediction. It can't be proven right now at all so you will just have to wait and see between the timeframe given.
Why would you even ask him who his source is...like he's going to reveal it.

Are CIG still hiring Magnum PI's to go through employee and contractors rubbish bins and soshul meedya?
Perhaps that's a concept and gameplay test of a new game mechanic coming up in 3.0?

What new big lawsuit? The only one that I have been made aware of thus far, is the one with the builders; and it's not BIG in any way, shape or form.

Sorry man, that's not how that works. So for now, you're going to have to bookmark my post, just like most of us do.
That's why most of us just ignore them.
The irony is that, when you consider the fact that they have raised $18.5m between Jan to now; then you look at the work done during the same period, then realize that they really still haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg, it's quite easy to see that the project is going to be dead before they even get to 20% completion.
Sad thing is that they ALL know it. Those who are there, either because they believe that Jesus lives, are just pulling a paycheck, or just seeing how far they can drag this on before the wheels fall off, they all know.
