So apparently saying that Chris Roberts is probably wiping his ass with $100 bills will get you a 24 hour ban from their forum.

did you lie tho?

I thought it was pretty honest. I guess I am too used to Chiefs Planet, where saying what you think is just responded to with a "fuck you."

I've been playing quite a bit over the past week and am massively impressed with what they are doing with this game so far. I've only played the persistent universe aspect of the game and have not attempted the FPS portion as of yet.

Development Schedule:

This game feels like one of those softcore porn models that tease without ever showing anything. Every set was shot over a single weekend and slowly released over a couple years while never giving up the goods.

Star Citizen just feels like it's never going to be released and if by some miracle it is theres going to be that disappointment of the missing money shot.

Have you played it recently?

Some current game play. Dude had landed at a drug lab and someone came up and destroyed his ship. Then then landed and proceeded to die.

I really hope this game turns into a FPS version of EVE online

So, did the guy that lost the ship really lose it? I mean, those things sell for thousands of dollars........

I just read an article that states that all cash paid ships have lifetime insurance.
[Reply]

All paid ships do not come with lifetime insurance. For example, my ship has 6 months of insurance and from then forward my character will pay in game credits to renew that insurance. I *COULD* lose my ship (that I paid for) if I were to let the insurance lapse and it was destroyed.

All ships that you can purchase with cash can also be purchased via in-game credits so its not pay to win as much as it is pay money to help develop the game and you are given the gift of a ship.

I think that is exactly what it is going to be. You will have the option to stay in relatively safe areas and not get blown up but if you head into sketchy territory then you could wind up in a dogfight/firefight.

That aside, there are two games being developed at once... the other being Squadron 42 which is going to be more of a ground troops based FPS with some light flying elements thrown in. Star Citizen, on the other hand, is going to be primarily space based with ground elements thrown in for those who want it.
[Reply]

Lot of wrong in this post. There are two games being developed. But Squadron 42 is a single player game with campaign missions in the same universe as the multiplayer Star Citizen. Both will make use of space and ground environments as well as the interior of some massive ships. If they ever finish building the game.

Your entire first paragraph may not be wrong, but it may not be right either. We don't know exactly how that will all shake out at this point, but there will be pvp.

Sometimes you see a damn nice car and then you get in it to test drive and the doors dont close right, the paint/body isn't as nice as you thought, the brake pedal is mushy, it has rattles where it shouldn't and it's just an overall clunky mess.

That's the vibe i'm getting here.
