Or maybe, just maybe, they don't have a clue how prediction and server-side confirmation works. But not to worry. They'll "invent" that in due time. After all, infinite computing power and all that.

who cares.
15% is referred to the ones that voted, not the backers. Most of the original backers (including me) have backed for SQ42. In the early days the MMO was not considered.
…sooooo… what tick rate is the server working on to not even trigger it after dry-humping the target ship for 5 seconds?

OMG They're attacking with massive rocket-propelled sex toys!
"We from Roberts Space Industries are proud to show you our newest weapon type. Ladies and Gentlemen i present you the Hugpedo! Its cutting edge tracking is able to hinder the manuverability of any ship by sticking close and interfering with any correction the target tries to do! Not only that the surface area of the Hugpedo is big enough to stick message on it so you really can give those pirates what they deserve!
Its mass is so low that it shouldnt cause any damage to the target itself, which makes it the perfect weapon for attempts to hinder but keeping the target overall unharmed!"
Kickstarter stage was still about SC. You can't say that the initial 6 million was for SQ42 when SC was part of the original pitch, and all ships being purchased were for SC.
Thought I'd post this from PC Gamer for lulz:
Star Citizen (20XX?)
No, it’s not out yet. It doesn’t matter. Chris Roberts’ play to create the ultimate space game already qualifies. Elite style action combined with a dedicated, AAA Wing Commander-style campaign starring Mark Hamill. First person action aboard ships. Deep space exploration. A persistent universe allowing for company, or the solitude of the stars. A crowd-funded budget of $117,259,371 and counting, with players happily putting down real money for in-game ships and unlocking features like pets and modular ship designs and new AI characters to scatter around on planetside environments. If it’s not the greatest game ever, expect literal, physical riots.

Have a look at the original kickstarter. This is a completely different "Game" than we have now. Ok, I get your point, but the "MMO" type thing there wasn't what I was interested in.
Real quick, Star Citizen is:
A rich universe focused on epic space adventure, trading and dogfighting in first person.
Single Player – Offline or Online(Drop in / Drop out co-op play)
Persistent Universe (hosted by US)
Mod-able multiplayer (hosted by YOU)
No Subscriptions
No Pay to Win

Lol really?
Ok where to start - offline Singleplayer?????
Quote: "Squadron 42 - A Wing Commander style single player mode, playable OFFLINE if you want"
Even more lulz on the page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cig/star-citizen/faqs

Oh it is defiantly a different game. The original pitch had a chance of being made.
With all the ships being purchased only usable in that PU was what I was getting at.
It also says no Subscription, and CIG added one right away, and it is massively P2W even in its "alpha".
Sure people backed for SQ42, but every ship sale has been about SC, the only reason that CIG have 150 million (assuming they do) is because of P2W ship sales for SC. But to be fair, none of the backers are winning with this one.
Don't open that trapdoor, Berk!
well don't forget the Drop-in Drop-out co-op.
CIG's E3 schedule revealed!

Hehehe. Is 13 a result of 10? Blame it on Star Puppy.

CR invented mountains.
Wow that multiplayer gameplay looks amazing, thank god there is so much stuff to do unlike Elite and its boring barren moons/planets.

Hmmm too soon, but many obvious "Sandi, amongst some others jumping off a cliff jokes"
