Again? They stated that two years ago.
Took me a bit to find the February post. If you go back to August, they hadn’t started yet (which made me confused while searching).
It’s pretty much funnier than that.
The stuff they said they were doing 2 years ago still isn’t done (part of it was just pushed out of the upcoming patch schedule, the other half was already later in the year by the schedule) and on top of that they have (at times) acknowledged that none of those changes even actually enable situations where > 20-50 players could actually play on the same shared game universe instance.
265$… Got the shiny metal a… card and everything.
Now I’m just waiting for a playable Squadron 42 game to arrive by 2014.
Don’t worry. Time is a circle.
I thought it was a cube.
Nope. Straight line. I was just trying to make him feel better.
Well, if the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics is correct, there’s a good chance SQ42 was released in some alternate Universe. You just need to find which one and how to get there.
Coming soon to Star Citizen;
Corporate Time Gates and the RSI Shenanigan, for only 449$ with LTI-2. A ship able to jump back in time so you can change the outcome of battles you’ve already fought. Or Corporate Time gates where mega-corporations (2-4 players) can charge the remaining players RSI Bucks™ to use the timegate.
“Another 48 hours for your insurance claim to be processed to be able to fly your Hellcat again… Why not use a Timegate and travel forward in time where the claim is already processed… Or why not go back in time to save yourself from exploding*”

Sorry. Time is a continuum. You just perceive it as a line.
OH no…so Star Citizen has a new ship. The Vulture salvage ship.
EVE has a mining ship called The Venture.
They’re not even trying anymore.
LOL!! Watch
It’s neither. It’s a quantized measurement from one particle interaction to the next in a single point in space that is not quite the same as the in the point next to it due to space-time curvatures.
Or something like that, Quantum Mechanics is weird.
I can’t even stop laughing as I’m typing this.
So, they unveiled the Vulture concept (read: JPEG) ship for sale. It costs $120 warbond (aka new money), and $140 via credit (for those melting inventory).
Right. So here’s the fun part. Stay with me, it’s absolutely hilarious.
This is a mining ship that’s neither built, nor in the game. Hence the concept JPEG.
The game doesn’t yet support mining. That feature, which they have been touting since 2013, and which was due out in 2017 after 3.0 (targeted for Dec 2016), has been stripped of pretty much everything they pitched it to be. It’s now coming in the 3.2 patch which is currently in Evocati testing. And it looks like this:

The previous ship which was sold ($140 - $155) as a concept, the Prospector, got into the game back in the 3.1 release (Mar 2018). Remember, the game doesn’t yet support mining - of any kind. They started selling it during Gamescon in 2017.
Now, having - again - increased the scope of the game with an asset that was NEVER in the original design or plan, instead of selling the Prospector (which btw didn’t do well in sales) again, they are selling the Vulture - as a concept. And if you buy the Vulture - while not already owning a Prospector - they give you that as a loaner in the game. No, I’m not kidding.
Don’t worry though; it’s totally not a scam.
BONUS LOLS:
BONUS LOLS!!: The Vulture is a salvage ship.
A feature that’s not yet in the game.
That feature, like mining, was being promoted back in 2016
ps: For a laugh, after watching what mining looks like in 3.2, compared to what they pitched back years ago, read their “design” docs from 2015.
it was bound to happen eventually. That looks a bit too similar to not be a problem. Seriously, not even a different paint color? lol
It’s too late to salvage anything. I think this is just taking a piss at the expense of stupid whales.
363 employees??? In those locations? That’s a big ass burn rate.
