Because it looks cool. Totally wakes up my inner child, fascinated with Transformers and Gundam. It is a nice design IMHO, and the numbers confirm it speaks to the Legatus people:
It's another jpeg...no actual Shippy-McShipface involved in the slightest, not for the next year or so at least.... I think the correct term is 'even more technical debt.'
I think the correct term is 'even more technical debt.'
They add plenty of technical debt every time they actually add a flyable ship to the game though.Well... if Roberts had kept his promises, I would've received the equivalent of this package only $40... a $25 savings! Well, it would've been a $25 savings if the game I had backed had came out in 2014 when it was supposed to. But it's also likely I would've spent more money on cosmetics than I'd saved if my pattern in other, non-subscription based MMOs (or even single player games like Space Engineers and Surviving Mars) are any indication.
Indeed...potential technical debt then. I imagine the tears of impotent rage will be tragic if they squeezed it to flyable before the BMM lurched it's way from being a post-it note stuck to John Crewe's monitorThat is 100% not the correct term.

I wouldn't be surprised at all that once the game is actually released, Roberts will start charging AAA prices (AKA $60) for both Star Citizen and Squadron 42... both bundled together for $100...
...
or about $160 in 2040 dollars.
I'll never tread on a dead starfish when walking along the beach ever again... I swear the lead ship designer at Ci¬G started out designing vacuum cleaners and hair dryers for Jim Dyson
The BMM is such a meme I'll be genuinely sad the day it actually becomes flyable. Bit like when Duke Nukem Forever finally released: it was awful, but the simple fact that it was there ruined the myth.The tears of impotent rage will be tragic if they squeezed it to flyable before the BMM lurched it's way from being a post-it note stuck to John Crewe's monitor
Yep. Might as well be asking "can someone please convince my friend not to believe his lying eyes and drop some cash in this game?"
If someone has firmly-grounded beliefs - be it "I have faith this project will be realized" or "LOL, this is a cash-grab" - there will never be reconciliation.
Exactly. I mean, it's okay to say "this person has their information wrong," but what this person wanted was more like CiG apologetics, like what I had to deal with when I was a fundamentalist Christian more than 20 years ago. That need to prove someone not only wrong, but to make them believe the cause is just and right. Silly as it sounds for a video game.
Don't get us started on the apologetics streak. @MTBFritz and I have gone over this path in the past (I'm not going to crawl through thread iterations 3-9 to find it), but as a malfunctioning Russian Orthodox person, the culture of Star Citizen definitely smacks of kissing icons and self-flagellation to achieve a higher station.
