I wouldn't even have a problem with that. I mean, the Federal Corvette from Elite also looks a bit like a Star Destroyer. But for 750$, come on!
CR is selling dream and they are ready to buy. In real life it is called scamming.

Nooooooo waaaaay....you are saying Chris lied when said 3.0 might come at the end of the year while clearly knowing it won't happen? And 2.6 is not coming in "few weeks" as CIG has indicated?
NO WAY Sir, NO WAY.

That's just FUD, misinformation and conspiracies theories put about by big game developers like Derek Smart who are conspiring against star citizen because they are threatened and jealous you hater.
I can state categorically and objectively that there's nothing blatantly pinched from other better sci-fi in the whole of the *verse.
*press <<use>> to pinch stuff from Joss Whedon.
I am all for influences, evolution, I am not strong believer in hardcore copyright/trademark enforcement.
But this is obviously used as reference, and it just above that line between infringement.
The worst part of this is that are their contributions followed by lack of exigency which caused the flop of this game/project/company (yes... its so I used the past sentence).
Its like to gift that son that only fails with you, at school, or cause general problems. Instead doing the normal and requiring him to behave, to learn, to improve, to be humble and better human, you will continue to applaud him and even show how proud you are by his attitude with girls or how he is violent with other students, or how drunk or high he went home, or how awesome was the velocity that he is getting with his motorcycle in the streets, etc.
You know that by the attitude, your son probably will grow as a terrible human being which does not care with anything but himself, but also weak, depressive, lost, without focus or insight or respect to his limits and losing easily by any other more serious and better educated human beign, in any competitive situation.

Nah, to be fair this is what happens when you go for generic sci-fi looks. That it matches so well with other sci-fi franchises is just a natural result.

Quick question: any info on what the minimum crew requirement is?
That's irrelevant. No one knows how many people in one instance the game will actually support, what gameplay those players will find in a big ship, if anyone is willing to play in these kinds of crew roles, or if you will actually be able to find enough people in the final game to crew these ships.
Any number on the concept JPEGs is just that, a number. It is 13, btw.
From that angle, it looks similar. But if you look at the Garencieres from any other angle... you see it's a triangular ship:
While the polaris is more like a flat rectangle:
Sorry for spoiling your fun, guys.
Well, not really. If it is '1', that means someone can fly that ship on its own. If its more than one, having crew mates run off to take care of kids/dinner/whatever will have you floating in space like an asteroid. I would like to know if it will be like ED (multi-crew optional) or not (multi-crew mandatory). And if the latter, how these mechanics will be.
But as you said, its currently just a jpeg.
Yeah, so what, it's 750$!
For that kind of money, one would expect an original design that looks original from any angle, no?

Yeah, well, we don't.
We don't know. That's the point I was making with "irrelevant". At this point, there are no mechanics, no gameplay in place. And they are selling ships as if this gameplay was already developed. That's the core of the problem, in my opinion.
Wasn't there a stream last night? Anyone got a summary? Tried reading back through the thread but so far can't find any mention.
There was a stream on Twitch. When I switched it on, it had several people with beards and a woman that was giggling. Then I went to bed.
According to CIG the crew is 13-24.
The ship has 5 manned turrets, a control panel in the torpedo bay, another control panel for engineering, and 5 control panels on the bridge. That makes 12 people. Not sure if the captain or pilot is counted among them.
Although i guess that it will be a bit like the freelancer, so you can "fly" the ship with just a pilot, and shoot with the automated turret (it has an automated turret). But with only a pilot you won't be able to control the power distribution, shield distribution, damage control, the 5 manned turrets, etc... and the polaris will surely be much less maneouverable than a fighter ship, so you would be an easy prey if flying solo with that ship. You need 7-8 people at the very least to maximize its combat capabilities.

To be fair, not really. It was somewhat of an 'non-official stream with one dude from CIG and some others' from what I gathered. They played the current live build, no real news of any kind. Think of it as a pre-con event where SC fans were having fun together. Apparantly things like "thats the greatest thing of SC, the magic happens in your mind!" were said and such. Real news coming tomorrow.

Summary for what i saw was following.
A girl gamer boots up arena commander. gets killed and is forced to watch mans butt wiggle in center of screen.
Some other streamer is stressed as canadian mounted police officer.
