Which if it ever comes, will turn out to be modelled on an USB-drive-shaped starship....

They've got that part covered already, at least.

I'll have you know that's a lulzhub, thankyouverymuch.

My apologies! :) That reminds me of SC development though - Genuine Roberts has this really cool idea for something, and he wants it in the game. Take this USB thing. So it's going to USB from a 12v DC source? Where's it's upstream going to come from so it hubs out to those two ports? The washer nozzles? The rear window defroster perhaps? ;)

It's just like Exploration and Trade in Star Citizen. There isn't any :) And no amount of hand-waving by Genuine Roberts, or bonkers theorycrafing and wish-fulfillment by "enthusiastic" backers is going to fix that :D
 
If SC can bring really exotic, dynamic and detailed worlds (which it seems they are in the process of doing), it would be really interesting to me.

Does it really seem they are in the process of doing that, though? All I've seen so far are tiny, barren planets with one or two points of interest like a base or crashed ship (plus glitchy sandworm). It took them weeks to build a 30 minute demo for CitizenCon, so I hope you're not expecting whole continents rich in unique, hand-crafted content that will take you months to explore. I expect there will be a very small number of POIs on a planet, just like in Elite, that are reused for many cookie-cutter missions. Plus some trees, and prettier sunsets.

Another thing. IMO Elite should not have used PG for bases on planets. Bases should be rare, because right now they do not feel special at all. I do not feel attached to these worlds, because there are so many of them, and they don't have personnalities.

So what exactly are you expecting these planets to offer that will make them so detailed and worth exploring and superior to Elite's? It sounds like you're imagining a game that even Roberts hasn't promised to deliver.

I'm working on it :D

Kickstarter funds are fading as the wait goes on
And Alpha 3 is drawing near
Backers will all be much older
The game's not here!

I watch the Idris fly against against a greybox sky
And one by one they refactor
I wish I was flying one of them
The game's not here!

Like a used-car salesman you came to fleece me
Like underpants in the breeze you flew away....

Through Monaco's waves we used to sail our way
You always loved free money
Those backers wallets all lie empty now
The game's not here!

A gentle refund request because of all the lies
As if to put this all behind
My life will never be as a Star Citizen
The game's not here!


Please mods - if there are to be no more songs or they are off-topic just please delete.

You need a "to the tune of" tag for your songs, some of us aren't so musically inclined and possibly a youtube link to said song. I think you've done enough parodies that someone should release a parody album (youtube again). C'mon, there must be enough musicians here to make it so!
 
Amazing geek fact Jeff Wayne (wrote the songs) insists he owns everything to do with War Of The Worlds and is the reason Kenneth Brannagh didn't make a book faithful film version set in Victorian England, as Kenneth Brannagh wouldn't agree to call it Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds and use his music.

On topic : martian tripods to feature heavily in citcon 2017 (no refunds on ticket sales).

On the topic of ship discounts.

Now, I've seen theories bandied about as to how much money CIG has left, and that maybe they're doing this because they're desperate, and I don't buy it for an instant. In fact, I'm afraid it's something much worse. I think CIG is fine - we raised "enough money to make the game" some thirty million dollars ago. I'm afraid they're getting greedy. It feels awful to even say that, but here we are.
