Wait what, did they fix the ship ramps all of sudden ? Because NPCs, while having a totally broken AI, are still wise enough to avoid them and stay in the ship. Or was it another one of CiG's notoriously not-in-actual-game videosWoo, look at those working Dropship NPCs. First time for everything...

Apart from the misleading tone...I think marketing were a bit premature. 22.47 here in the UK, the 3.17.2 PTU is still up and the patch still hasn't dropped to liveSource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH0ppWX0TAc

Worked the first time, so why not repeat? LOLSell everything to Microsoft and go make movies?
Which method ? It's not 10 years to make one system using a 'method', it's 10 years to create the company, engine, tech and workflow to do a system. When Pyro will be out, the engine, tech and workflow will be almost complete (jump point, big outposts on ground, proc gen for big space station, improved caves, improved city biome, easy to place rivers and some other improvements). After Pyro, creating new generic systems (not the specific ones) will almost be only using the tools existing. It's pre-alpha, Stanton is not about creating a system, it's about creating the creative engine.
As much as I find this whole thing being a scam, if you can enjoy it as it is now, do so. If with a starter package, or only on free fly weekends, even better. (with less money, they'll either add new ships to get more money, or just go away). Either way, if you do get into the game, you can get a sense of what they're trying to do, and it becomes apparent it wont be achievable, at least by CIG.Wait a minute. I thought "whales" (which IIRC are people who buy jpegs of ships for thousands of dollars) were the bad guys. Now they are the victims, while people who buy an actual starter ship for the cost of a typical video game, play said game (or alpha thereof), and enjoy it, they are now the bad guys?
I'm going back to my original assessment - you people are all nuts.
* don't worry @LittleAnt , SC may have been a bust for me, and I may balk at the requirement for a prehistory page file, but I'm glad that you, the other Ant, Drew, Kate, and all the rest are enjoying it. Though I do wonder why you stick around this thread, as all you're ever going to get here is a beating, quoted text case-in-point.
Not quite sure many of the people here will still be alive to tell you that when/if this day comes...Someone let me know when Star Citizen is complete. Thanks!
This needs the actual astronauts meme
