hey Cheesenium, still waiting for you to confirm what type of package your 300i was? (screenshot please, thanks)

i'm offering to take it off your hands, can trade today.

oh, should have told me earlier. was waiting for your response, even have the cash ready.

well guess even skeptics have their price

so after you sell off the package will u still get the game later?

tell you what. since you have so much negative views of the game. how about this - request the mods to close this thread. how about it? since it seems to make u so cross, so upset, ask them to close this thread. because it seems you have a problem with the game right?

wow. no idea what that magical number of posts has to do with close threads. 

plus if you're claiming that CIG is a scam, then the fact that you're selling their packages at a higher price well.... 

... because i'm surprised you didn't just email them and get a refund. they do that actually if you are not aware.

anyways i'm fine with you making noise and being the "voice of reason", but please do not use the information we share as ammunition to fuel your vitriol. because it's starting to sound like a broken record. anyhow. let's move on....

area commander and DFM  its same ?

Wolger reporting in.

It's depressing really with the latest development...I sold most of my ships (325A, Starfarer, Aurora) for very good price in December partly due to another issue, urgently needed fund for my new house and decided to keep my Connie only as a pledge package.

Is it because of the engine they use? Crytek engine, MWO  another major kickstarter project failed too.

Seriously Malaysian stop your "LU TAK SUKA,LU KELUAR!" attitude
Pyre you must be new here if you dont even know about 2500 post = close thread instead of your "Y need to close thread because of post again?"

Tbh i actually prefer comment from two side of the coins instead of jz one sided comment from the fans of Star Citizen.

So cheese stay cheesy and do post more about Star Citizen real updates instead of what i can get from going to their website.You know how this game turning to be a big scam?

This thing has raised $43 million dollars on mostly impossible promises (coming from a man who has a history of doing so), using an engine completely unsuited to space games, adding ridiculous stretch goals every few weeks and releasing things such as space towels and space potted plants. It’s also supposedly been in development for a year or so before the kickstarter even launched and what do they have to show? A demo at an expo that repeatedly crashed (months and months after they originally promised a release of some sort). The crowning moment of that demo was the slideshow popping up with a window saying ‘would you like to complete installation?’

thought u said you gotten a full refund? u still mad bro?

surprised, thought you got the refund because i know a few folks who did.

anyway if you're looking to sell off your package, let me know.

Greetings Citizens,

As promised, we are updating each day Arena Commander V.8 is delayed with a copy of the same bug list we track internally. Do not be too concerned that today’s list is longer than what appeared yesterday: it’s not unusual for additional bugs to be generated as we squash more serious issues. The news today is very positive: the programming team eliminated the major DirectX bug that was encountered yesterday and excellent strides are being made to put the game into a releasable state! Thank you for bearing with us; we know you’re here to play (and help us test this game!), and we’re eager to let you. We are anticipating having these issues resolved very soon.

    Character and parts of cockpit interior vanish while accelerating

Fairly well put, I share the sentiment.

RSI set themselves up with a hard job - I think they underestimated many things, from backer expectations to the technical roadmap they were forcing upon themselves by offering so many "ideas" as stretch goals.

When you go on Kickstarter asking for money, and it starts flowing in beyond your wildest dreams, it's difficult to keep your feet on the ground.

There are no shortage of great ideas in game development, but a lot of them - usually the coolest - never make into the game, because they're just so time consuming, and you have so many other things to do. And you can't solve it by throwing more people at the problem, because (this should be a well known fact by now), more bodies makes things worse, not better.

The post-kickstarter success has only made things worse. Not content with taking what they already have, they had to set up the most expensive looking website they could (suffers the same problem of excess - it's difficult to navigate), fill it with even more ways people can invest in the game (up to $15,000 !? and there are people complaining about Premium Beta prices!), provide all the episodic stories, and stage round-table "update" discussions with the developers. Honestly, I really felt for the artists - they have that haunted "leave me alone, I'm busy" air about them.

I don't know Chris Roberts, I've never met him or worked with anyone who has, but his public approach to problems - assuring everyone that the team will give daily updates, for example - is another alarm bell, a management approach which is hard to escape because it was set up as a promise "to our backers" right at the beginning (complete transparency). Is there anyone here working in games, that relishes having to make daily reports - not just to the boss, but joe public as well? It gets in the way.

Making games is hard. Thinking you can do it (with a middleware you didn't write, no less) and keep everyone informed every step of the way, while meeting deadlines for things that you haven't really considered, is dangerous.

I look forward to playing Star Citizen, and I've not got any interest in knocking it - I'm purely observing here - but, as an artist myself, I feel for the guys that are having to actually make this stuff. They're not the ones that made all the promises, but they sure as heck are the ones who're taking the beating and long hours over it.

I guess I should leave a cynical note after all: 300,000 triangles per player ship. What!?
