Because of underwater? Or is the poison itself so lethal?

The poison. The Blue-ringed octopus is the most poisonous animal in the sea: "Its venom is 1,000 times more powerful than cyanide, and [it] packs enough venom to kill 26 humans within minutes". So if it bites you, you're in real trouble.

It is one of the most lethally poisonous creatures on the planet but quite docile, and will only attack if provoked or scared and in self-defence. Unlike anything Australian that'll do it for sport. We'll have to wait for @Mole HD to comment on zombie cows.

Deadly, and Stone Fish. What you need to understand though is they are nerve toxins, the toxin doesn't kill you, you just become completely paralsyed and die of asphyxiation. If they can get you on CPR and onto life support and intubated soon enough there's a good chance you will survive, but since most stings happen a long way from proper medical care most people die before that can happen.

Yeah, needs a buddy to get you out, but no way to CPR under water I think.

So yeah not really a gun, not pointed by CIG but by the faithful themselves. Actually they hold themselves hostage and it's Stockholm syndrome. Better spend, or make other spend, or at least silence criticism. Every faithful doing their part as they see fit.

Holding hostage ? To be hostage, you need at least something menacing, not something you enjoy !
It's like saying someone spending money on Warhammer 40K is hostage of the game...
You use this analogy because you can't understand how someone can spend money on the actual game but also don't accept it because you refuse to give any gaming value to the actual alpha, nothing else. Just for the dogfight and mining gameloops, SC has a real gaming value, you can't deny it without a big dose of bad faith.
I perfectly understand why you can spend money on SC. I don't understand how you can spend so much money on Warhammer 40K (and on a lot of things IRL) but I accept it and will not call those who spend money on it "hostages".

No, no, no. The vast majority of backers spend money because they like the alpha and want it to continues to improve.
There is no magic trick from CIG or cult or Stockholm syndrome. It's a video game. If you like it you can support it by buying ships. If you don't like it, you don't spend money on it. And for the rare that have an abnormal addiction, having an abnormal addiction to SC is nothing different to having an abnormal addiction to GTA5, ED, Genshin Impact, W40K, postage stamp, etc

You know me too well :D

One of the resident...err...gentlemen, suggested that if I was too poor to be able to afford some $1,000 custom water cooling setup for my PC I shouldn't have descended into their lair to ask silly questions...you can guess that it kinda went downhill from there :)

Can't wait for you to get the hobby of amateur astronomy and astrophotography and go ask some questions there 🤭

The menace resides in the "something you enjoy" ending still born if money pipelines dry up.

No, that's you extrapolating.

You being our resident expert in bad faith, I can't disagree.

Play test from last night. when i logged on to the server there were 80 players on it, don't know how many when we started.

Look at players, they move about now in a way that looks almost normal, its not perfect but compared to how it was, jiggling and teleporting all over the place, all that is gone.

NPC's are slow to react, but they do react now, again, its not great, but a lot better than it was.

Clearly there is still work to do, but its night and day compared to how it was, progress, real progress.

I was killed by NPC's :)

For those of you server / network provider savvy. Would there be any cost implication related to the higher cap? I.e. less servers but with more players (more data being exchanged in each) would be a net increase or decrease in costs etc?

Any idea what is the ballpark of server related costs for CIG atm? According to their financials it seems it could be anywhere around 500K - 1MM a month or so?

You can buy different tiers of servers, i know that much. But that's ok, CIG are rolling in money apparently, so they should be able to afford it. As long as people keep pledging for ships.

Its probably why they will never stop selling the ships even post-release (presuming they ever release). They still have to pay the developers and operational costs.
