I disagree, much like any content in any game it just depends on the effort that was put into it.

It won't get boring it will have a race championship in the PU which I see players racing in.

Racing is a part of the SC lore. Everybody thinks that AC is it but everything is being made with the PU in mind. So they will reuse lot's of stuff in the PU but not all.
Racing is going to be pretty awesome when championships kick in with Prizes. Which then can be tied to Planetside livestreams. They could go anywhere and told that the Murray Cup will be a thing.
I was going to respond to you with a wall of text (with real information), but after reading it I realized that its just not worth it, and ended up being nothing more than a rant at you . The constant PR that you spit out in every post is just not worth spending time or effort on.
I will say this, talk is cheep, lure =\= gameplay, and making definitive statements about features that you have very little information on, and is years away from being implemented, is not conductive to anything. Oh and SC will not be the game to rule them all. Could it be a good game? Sure, but not the game to end all games.

I guess I am not the only one who get's the vibe from Mr.Nowak as CIG PR guy ;-).
Here is some info if you think what I write is just PR . But I am not talking out of thin air. This is from May 18th. Also most people supporting the SC project are in long term. Most people know this project will take years and things said like the Arena Mode 2 years back sounded like a a distant future thing and now the time is here and we are playing it. Things like E-Sports and E-Racing are very key in keeping things alive and active. It also adds excitement and an extra competition to the game. So I am sure that E Sports and E Racing in Star Citizen will be a logical path to head in to especially for Arena Commander.

And so you quote PR? Its a ton of "could", "if", "maybe", "not right away"
So let me repeat, your are acting like all of these things are definitive, and then show proof that they are not. You spit out just bad PR, because CIG at least leave them selves wiggle room if they don't do it.
edit: I never said it was PR , I just said it was PR, not all PR is .

So what is your source for SC? Who created this project? Who is running it? Am I missing something here? The project goes where the Project Lead takes it to. Without CR nothing goes. If CR says no to E Sports there is no E Sports. If you know a higher ranked dude leading this project let me know.
Sorry I edited my post as I didn't mean to hit submit. My evidence is what you posted. You did the work for me.
Edit: And if CR says yes to e-sports, this does not mean AC/SC will turn into an e-sport.
2nd edit, because you can't just have one: I never said it was PR , I just said it was PR, not all PR is .

Yes but it opens the chances of it being done. At the end of the day he is kind of like the captain of the ship isn't he? And a captain that also in the past promised so many things but only got so far done. But that doesn't change the fact that AC can easily be a e sporty competition game with settings. The system itself is very suited. If it was something not even close I wouldn't mention it at all but AC seems very compatible with E Sports to me and no wonder why CR thinks of the idea.
In some previous ATV episodes the same topic was mentioned several times. So it seems that CIG is pretty in to that idea as they are mentioning it in several ways here and there.
Also stuff like this started popping up as well.

My take is Mr Nowak put at least 2000$ in SC.
I can't say I share his enthusiam right now though, but SC may end up being a great game in the end.
No Idea why you think like that because I got friends who are way more excited than me and they just have an Aurora? What does it have to do with money? The money given to CIG is gone. And I put money down in this project knowing I might never see the project and the money again. Don't feel bad at all because I wanted a game like this for a long time and gaming is my hobby.

The best parts:
- I'm getting dizzy
- We accept Visa, Diners, Master Card
- Knew I should've bought LTI
Ambiguous a bit ?
I have been part of and spectated e-sports for quite some time and I have an opinion on the matter.
Personally I think AC and space ship racing has no chance in hell of being an e-sport.
There's A TON of other games that were more qualified for e-sports (in term of skill, excitement to watch, popularity of the genre, etc) and never made it into e-sport status.
That doesn't stop them from having tournaments, streaming them on twitch and having a percentage of the people playing it, tuning in to watch. A LOT of games do this. But it's not the same as being a popular e-sport.
LOL, first SC fan video that I liked, good find. It was very well done. Although its as much satire of SC as anything.
Thanks for your input. But even within the SC community which has 510.000 registered members do you think it would work?
It depends on how many of these people will be interested to watch or take part in e-sports.
Space Sims aren't particularly popular so I wouldn't really expect people from outside the genre to watch competitive matches like it happens with some other games.
GuildWars2 tried to take the e-sports path and failed and they had 3-4(?) million box sales. Even the few (well at least one) tournaments they ran they had a very small viewer number comparably to how many people bought the game.
That's just one example.. there's plenty of other games that are perfect for e-sports but have failed.. in fact the vast majority of games attempting to be an e-sport have failed. Only a select few have succeeded.
Again that doesn't stop games from running their own tournaments... but getting enough attention/viewers to become an e-sport is a totally different story.
I believe SC will stream tournaments, hey they love to make video shows and they seem popular among the fanbase.
It's just my opinion though, I might be wrong. I wouldn't mind a space sim e-sport game popping up on Twitch
They appear to have taken the link down for something.
On the plus side it allowed me to read the hilariously badly written Orbital Supermax.
