Why? As long as this mess stays a dream it's a money printing machine shielded from criticism because alpha.

I am starting to think the SC customer base is composed exclusively of CTOs. This is good for SC.
Hey, you want to argue with a CTO?
Damn, this forum auto-masks the second decryption of that acronym. The end is nigh!

One sure thing about reddit...there doesn't seem to be any farmers pretentiously asserting to be programmers or CTO's (whatever they are) posting anything about Star Citizen...Every time I read reddit posts, I get the distinct feeling that I'd get similar responses from my cows if I got them all together in one pen to discuss Farming Simulator 2019. Lots of head butting, pointless mooing and dropping crap all over the place that someone else has to clean up

Comes across like unnecessary information. A bit strange as they relay such info for everybody to see but you would get a warning or outright ban for stating "I got PMed by a moderator". Shrug so the CIG moderator team is as incompetent and touchy as the leadership. Crap rolls downhill is the right term I think. Could very well be a sutble reminder/threat usable by anybody whos cherishing and praising the gospel = enforcing a certain behavior and obviously you need to walk on eggshells if you plan to critizise anything about SC.
Its the main reason the official CIG site has turned into an echo chamber in the past. The projects shortcomings and failings are so frequent and severe by now that the peasents rebel without regard for bans and punitive actions. I dont see that changing anytime soon seeing as CIG seems to be incapable of improving the mess they created. So either the moderation will turn even more agressive or the forum will add new restrictions to prevent badmouthing.

theres been a lot of of analogies throughout SCs development but this one is ranking among the top ten for me

CTO is Chief Technology Officer - and like CEO (Executive) does the overlooking of executing stuff, this person does the overlooking of technology stuff - picking what technologies will be used, setting standards, etc.
So if you have a small company of four and you say: "We'll use git and agile, let's deploy a few WordPress sites" and your friends are like: "OK, cool (glad it's not me deciding that)", then you're technically a CTO, I guess.
CR said more funding will go to increasing scope, but they're now aiming forr minimum viable product so no "increasing scope", why then do people still keep giving them money? CIG clearly don't need it, they got all the money to develop SC and failing that they could sell SQ42 to finish it. Their own words.
It's a good thing CR absolved himself, I can't remember for what but he clearly isn't responsible for any failure or incompetence.
Chief Technical Officer, aka the guy who decides that no, let's not upgrade this month to enforce security compliance becase he doesn't have a problem figuring out clever passwords and ensuring that no untowards apps run on his compu... WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY KEYLOGGED MY PW AND INSTALLED A BOTFARM USING A MONTHS-OLD VULNERABILITY THAT WAS REMOVED FIVE UPGRADES AGO!?
Compare and contrast IT Ops guys who have to fill in request forms for clearly mandatory upgrades in the vain hope that the execs will approve them this time, and then clean up the mess when they don't.
"You should spend as much as you think you are comfortable with."
This is what people on MLM schemes say to each other!
The bans will continue until morale improves.
You killed me !One sure thing about reddit...there doesn't seem to be any farmers pretentiously asserting to be programmers or CTO's (whatever they are) posting anything about Star Citizen...Every time I read reddit posts, I get the distinct feeling that I'd get similar responses from my cows if I got them all together in one pen to discuss Farming Simulator 2019.

CTOs are quite often pretty proficient. The problem is that they're arguing with the rest of the board whop see IT as simply a cost and don't understand the basic implications of technology, let alone the technicalities. So you end up with out-of-date infrastructure that messes the bed and the suits wonder why they can't do anything.
And having spent a lot of my professional life in support or ops IT getting noticed only when something goes wrong is an absolutely true stereotype!
Ten years ago Chris wanted to be spotted so badly, he started this mess.
I dunno mate. The MSR main appeal, apart from being a better Freelancer, is data running. Which is clearly nowhere in sight... So it will put a bit of salt on that wound i think - there's another data runner ship in game (the Herald) but i suppose it didnt sell in large numbers as i've never seen any in the PU. On the opposite the MSR sold in very large numbers i suppose (it's got the same kind of appeal as the Freelancer) and the buyers will be quickly disappointed that its main function is at the moment just extra 3D assets. So the impact of that ship release will be a bit more short lived i suppose...
That's fair enough, but it's also worryingly common that the CTO is just the executive-trained person who also has a passing knowledge of the tech-side (enough to talk to, and be a danger for) the actual techs. Over time, they may turn into actual knowledgable people, if they don't switch to another C[whatdever]O position first. It's perhaps the latter category that ends up being more obstructive than the ones who get there by being actual tech people, who just so happen to have risen to an executive position.
Perhaps it might be a slight case of stereotyping to assume that anything SC-relate would be a case where actual merit wasn't a factor…
They come with pre-installed PemEx memory-doublers and can carry 160GB of data.
Because that's how creative CRobber is.
