OMG it’s so many months! What ever shall they do? No other space games have come out during that time!

Well, they’re still in a perpetual circle jerk. So they’re pretty occupied atm.
They’re probably working on some sort of VOIP Auto-Translate thing now, to mesh with the face-camera thing.
Guys. Guys. You guys. I’ve been making some videos of Star Wars Galaxies of late, and I just got this comment on one of those videos:
And I just can’t stop laughing.
So, I ventured into the subreddit due to a link upthread.
you buy a black credit card that is sold in very limited amounts on the store every now and then. It’s around 35USD if i remember correctly. That will get you emails with the time and date. However it’s not a secret and the date and place was public knowledge as it has been posted on this site multiple times. I believe everyone is welcome to show up at the meeting, they ask you to bring a friend in the emails.
concierge members (those who put more than 2000$ in the development of the game) get some special attention, like being able to fast track customer support requests, early access to sales, ordering besaid “black metal concierge business card” and sometimes being invited to a popup event with the devs. (like the public beergarden events around gamescom/citizencon, just a bit smaller)
It’s a meta-scam. Scam squared. Those who have bought into the scam can pay extra to bring a friend along to a ponzi scheme sales pitch. Bernie Madoff would be proud.

Shocking absolutely no one, the move to start selling plots of land on barren moons in Star Citizen, is afoot.
Saw this coming a mile away when they prioritized barren moons & useless land vehicles over actual game play in a
SPACE COMBAT GAME.
More here. Including a 2014 YT statement by croberts.
I’d like to see them! Link?
Here’s the latest one:
We’ll be playing again this Sunday if you’d like to join us. If so, PM and I can give you the details.
I didn’t know SW:G was even still live.
It’s got two groups emulating it!
-
SWGEmu - PreNGE as far as I know, no Jump to Lightspeed stuff
-
SWG: Legends - A fork of Emu. Trying to have JTL stuff and might have NGE stuff. I’m not 100% on this one.
We’re doing Legends because spaceships. Already enlisted in the Empire to be a TIE Fighter pilot. FOR THE EMPEROR!
Wow, nearly 1,000 people are playing right now.
The ideal version of SWG from my perspective was that sweet window after Jump to Lightspeed but before NGE.

Yep, exactly that. And before they broke creative, multi-line sign usage for houses (shops).

If they all require media, I’m hosed. I don’t even own an optical drive for a PC anymore. I suppose I should get a little USB-C DVD drive or something.
This is the only new emulated MMO I’ve played that does require original game installation media.

Star Citizen 3.0 was prematurely released to more testers (public band) last night. It is every bit the disaster that myself and others have said it is. More here:

Another example of how they are fleecing their backers. See how subscribers are ahead of concierge in the release schedule? They already have the concierge money. So they want those and others to pay monthly subscription in order to gain access to a game THEY ALREADY PAID FOR!

It’s more game than you’re ever going to get in Star Citizen. I hope you bought the UCCE + TLC bundle. If so, I released another update for the latter earlier today.
I also released an update for my space/planetary fighter combat game, GALCOM Echo Squad.
A new 4K video of Alpha 3.0 from the point of view of a player has been released.
A few interesting timestamps:
-
Around 4’30": Player starts walking around the station and heads to the landing pad
-
Around 11’30": Player onboard their ship about to take off
-
Around 13’: Low flight over space station
-
Around 15’: First quantum drive jump
-
Around 19’: First planetary approach for some rocky and sandy landscapes sightseeing
-
Around 27’: Low level canyon flying leading to the first landing.
It’s a looker
Edit: found the player who uploaded the 4K footage giving his PC specs on Reddit: http://reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/7f01hw/1hour_of_patch_30z_at_4k_widescreen/dq8lksf
Built my PC back in summer 2015. 980-ti and 5820K with 16Gb ram. Star Citizen was on SSD.
