There must be a new ship sale or Sqn 42 teaser coming up at Citcon...there's a strange radio message broadcasting at Olisar... "People of Stanton. A great injustice has occurred..." (or something like that) and some squeaky, distorted alien sounding voice effects.

Of course, the forever gullible amidst the Star Citizenry are all now dreaming of new galaxies filled with hostile alien life imminently hovering tentatively close to release into the PU. I spent an hour watching the chat with awe as they got to planning inter-stellar jumps in their Carrack wonder chariots tooled up for bear to destroy the alien threat... :rolleyes:

Let's hope the elevators work, they don't get trapped in turrets or killed by scenery and they don't all fall through the floors of their chariots en route or the planned mass invasion could be a bit of a damp squib...

To temper their childlike enthusiasm, I suggested they should look for an imaginary sandworm on the equally imaginary planet of Leir III whilst they were there.... Judging by the irate howls of outrage at my apparent heresy, I'm not making myself very popular amongst the initiates of the Chris Roberts fantasy galaxy club, that's fer sure... :whistle:

Well, thankfully the ability to enjoy SC isn't a popularity contest ;)

I'm also getting flack for bringing up the sandworm over on the SC sub. Apparently giant worms living on a desert planet are not a rip off of Dune....

Shai-Hulud, the Great Maker, the Grandfather of the Desert, the Worm Who Is God.

But I'm hoping for more of a beetlejuice rip off.

Hold on, that's new.

Does this mean CIG had to invite Mark back for more mo-cap?

Also, releasing in 2020? Hah, let's see about that.

Well no, he meant 42 apparently (see his reply to he-who-shall-not-be-named-but-who-was-right-according-to-some).

It's both hilarious and sad that it's been long enough that he can't even remember the title of the game.

To be fair he's an older guy, let's cut him some slack. And hope that CI can string something together, it would be awkward if their famous actors died before CI released the game they act in.

Are you kidding!? It would be godly blessing promotional material! "RIP Hamill, you'll be missed but forever in the 'verse"

You're simply the worst of us faithful Believers. But I do appreciate the zest of faith imposed on us.

Also, it would give them the perfect excuse to delay further!

"Dear backers, unfortunately, due to the death of Mark Hamill, we can not finish SQ42 as we needed him for more mocap. So now we are hiring Harrison Ford to do replacement mocap."

And so the Ghost of Squadron 42 was born. Featuring ghost actors and ships.

I think that with CitCon they will most likely introduce the Carrack and one star system and tier one jump point mechanic and add a landing location.

The "great injustice" could be a removal of Port Olisar (event added with massive NPC attack from the new system and blowing up Olisar) and replacing it with a regular reststop.

And of course, a ship sale.

Why? PO doesn't belong to Stanton system? I thought it was Levski...
Because why would they wipe something from an already shallow star system, apart from making a new "now you see the tutorial level, now you don't", or because Chris saw Fortnite's event?

For some reason 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' sprung to mind as soon as I read that :)
