Thank you, always appreciate coming from you
you too bro, it's not about if they came up with it. they've been at this longer.
all it's about is if people want it or not.
Ways for Frontier to make money
- Thread starter Ruskodisco
- Start date

that would be a excellent idea.
That's a terrible idea. We don't need to make Frontier think the awful stuff done in mainstream, casual and triple A games is acceptable here.
There is also no need for this thread because Frontier has already planned things out and/or will never seek financial advice from this forum.
Atoms don't last forever, but David Braben did specially day like Eve that Elite Dangerous will be upgraded for newer and better hardware in the future.
Virtual Battlespace and Arma are operated by separate companies who who were originally a single company that split off in two directions.
Two separate companies very similar names and evolved from the same engine.
Bohemia Interactive Simulations makes VBS3.
Bohemia Interactive Studios makes Arma.
i would definitely love real estate hahah
the whole point isnt advice but to let people know that we would love to buy more ships.
and it's a great idea. just cause it's done in mainstream doesn't mean its a bad idea hipster.
i honestly don't get it cause it's not easy to make ships including the interior. so if for a good price i don't see why it's such a bad idea it's not pay to win because you would still have to earn it in game with in game credits and it would'nt give you some bonus over other ships except by looks. but if you agree or not, people would buy it.

I think a bake sale at me mum's church next Sunday would fetch a fair bit of coin. Them ladies do like their fried pies ya know
bake sale for elite hahaha
Nooooo just NO!
Is it an American thing to feel the need for Adverts in every part of your life ?
No I hate ads, but I hate this game doing poorly more.
FD are developing a pretty complicated piece of software here. My guess is that if these boffins are smart enough to do that, they are also smart enough to devise plenty of ways for David Braben to be able to be clad in very comfortable and expensive jumpers for the rest of his days. I am confident that they can do that without turning their current labour of love into Space Farmville, thereby turning off all of us who paid good money during the Kickstarter so that wouldn't happen.
i fellow economist is see
and finally someone who understands
i know, but hte other thing is i feel that david and the ED team. is the only one that can truly accomplish this "spce gta" like this. and make history.
Be careful, you're beginning to sound like a member of a cult! The game developers are just your ordinary clever people. They're not magical elves or something. There are other space games that are happy to take all your money and promise you the earth in return, if a religious experience is what you're after.
I'd be happy if this turns out to be as good as FFE with upgraded graphics. There's a way to go before that happens.

Have you by chance ever played the Need for Speed racing games? The whole buying cars thing got really ugly, really fast.
please don't compare E.A. to elite......
lol, well see but they are not the only ones making history, like star citizen could too....if they can get past the crappy business model.
and also no man's sky (doubt it)
dude literally ever since gta1,2,3 came out and all the others i have been waiting for a space version of it......
long time
so pardon my excitement but we finally have the tech, we have the people, and we have a demand for it like no other.
and the other thing bro, is the whole part of the demand....companies literally watch people throw thousands of dollars at a game that has not even been made yet.....they know there is a demand for space gta......people want it, and its gonna happen ya know?

The DDF specifically said that the game was to be built by magical elves.
Now are you saying that's just a mortal bloke in a funny hat? No, I thought not.
The argument was that "THEY NEED A TON OF MONEY TO SUSTAIN THE DEVELOPMENT!!!!"
By the time all expansions are released, a long time will have passed already, so yes they'll keep on updating it in the meantime, but we still don't know how much money they have, need, nor spent, so how long will it go on is completely unknown.
As for ArmA and VBS, they still share the license of the engine, and still work together on this. Most ArmA fixes were backported from VBS seeing the more intense testing it got from the mil side, and even some content updates followed requests of development on the VBS side. Seeing as the argument is "money", it's thanks to VBS licenses that ArmA2 development was kept afloat.
but you do have to admit you're pretty excited for a space GTA...like imagine going into a planet, with the atmospheric epic entrance then go through the clouds and watch a city get bigger and bigger. than actually be able to visit this city. and if so chosen you can spend hours and hours in it.
