In another forum where I wander many "just" CCUed to the new shiny jpegs, so were already 3 figures or more in so threw few tens of dollars more in the firepit. I wonder how all these transactions show in the fund tracker... True value or as if it was full price bought.
I never made that rank. Not in the former Elite games nor in ED. I guess the games just got played enough by me and I was looking for something else to play.And here was me thinking everyone that ever played Elite was combat Elite rating...Jameson at Shinrarta Dezhra is permanently full of them since they never seem to go anywhere else. After all, nobody can scan them out in the black and see the Elite rating they treasure so much
It's strange how the mostly PvP centric Combat Elite players never like to be reminded that they got that rating through farming NPC kills and nothing else
That promotion video...recorded way back in May of 2016 when I was still an Xbox player using nothing more than an Xbox controller and in the pre-Corvette/Cutter days when the Anaconda was king of all it surveyed...sorry about the lack of quality.
It does seem to be too high doesn't it? One theory over on SA is that they are adding store credit as well as cash to the total. We'll never know the truth about any numbers associated with this thing.
I think it's mostly fabricated.
Nuh-uh! It raises the question.
(Sorry, pet peeve… “begging the question” is a type of circular reasoning where a statement is ‘proven’ by a claim that presupposes that the first statement is true to begin with, which begs for someone to raise the question: “…but is it?” or “ok, but why is that?” because the supposed proof proved nothing).I thought about it this night and I have an explanation why the stress I feel in SC is different from other games I play and why I feel it more "visceral".
And this is what I mean by you ascribing things to SC that are all specific to you, not the game. You have decided that your completely replaceable ship is somehow special to you, in spite of the very first actual mechanic implemented in the entire tech demo being the one that ensures you suffer no real loss ever.
I disagree.
Which ones? And how are they different from what a bajillion other games offer?
Yes you can.
It's trivial to deny it because not only is it not true — it is also not different even if it were.
As others have said repeatedly, this kind of thing isn’t new or special. It’s been around since the advent of MMOs in the early 90s, and those MMOs inherited it from earlier MUDS. Whenever you can have destructible/stealable/lootable assets in the game world, and the game permits asymmetrical PvP, you get the situation you describe. It might be new to you, because you've avoided such games in the past, or because Chris Roberts and his shills have sold you some cockamamy story about how it's new and special, but again it is neither new nor special.
I know you can't see it, but as I stated earlier, you are exactly the type of person Roberts was hoping to catch. The fact that he caught some who had serious money to buy into "the dream" was a bonus he could not have expected. Best of all is that most of them have blind faith and don't want to see the mountain of problems that are staring them in the face. I hope you haven't "invested" too much cash in this. I hate seeing people ripped off.
The button screens 10 meters up outside and so tiny you have to zoom in (almost even same for those inside, the oblique layout doesn't seem helping readability) is sooo convenient. Other than that yep it looks cool.
