TheErebus. Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) http://www.pcgamer.com/star-citizens-vanguard-concept-fighter-costs-a-cool-250/ So I've covered SC quite a bit, with 2 threads dedicated to it and a mention on another news thread. The newest ship costs 250$ and is not actually ready yet. But you can still buy it. I get the game needs funding (which I don't think it does, because it went over 77 million dollars in crowdfunding), but purchasing something for the concept doesn't seem right. And in other news that may horrify you or excite you, the Star Wars: Battlefront debut trailer will be shown on April 17th. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/here-s-when-star-wars-battlefront-s-first-trailer-/1100-6426292/ Now it horrifies me because this is EA we are talking about. But it excites me because I adore the Battlefront games. So which are you? Horrified or excited? Or maybe both. And behold! STAR WARS IF IT WAS DESIGNED BY SQUARE ENIX! http://www.gamespot.com/articles/if-square-enix-designed-star-wars/1100-6426256/?ftag=YHR28b9ce3 This just screams Final Fantasy.

evil_m3nace Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Kek , this has been done for every ship in the game except the hornet(and scythe, sorry) which was the only ship they made before the kickstarter. I dont know why people that aren't part of the SC community getting worked up on it. You aren't going or have paid for it so why complain?

TheErebus. Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 I dont know why people that aren't part of the SC community getting worked up on it. You aren't going or have paid for it so why complain? Because most people want to pay something for when they can use it immediately. To have to wait and see what the final product is just doesn't set right vibes to others. Besides, who are you to say we can't get worked up about it?

Gr33hn Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Concept sales have been going on for quite some time now, the first concept ship I bought is flyable now i.e. the Gladius. They even warned people saying you are only paying for a concept therefore it comes with Lifetime Insurance and a reduced cost compared to when it gets implemented in the game.

I dont know why people that aren't part of the SC community getting worked up on it. You aren't going or have paid for it so why complain? Yup. Exactly. Think of the folks who bought Constellations, Gladiac bombers and other ships that still can't fly yet. The mining ship is not even hangar ready. You buy because you believe in Chris's vision. If you don't then dont. If your belief has a financial cap then spend up to that cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You act like I'm painting them as monsters. I just don't agree with that idea yet here you are spouting crap like that.

Monsterwithin Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) This topic makes my wallet want to run into a fire or lava could do. Further more.

I wasnt saying that you personally was acting like that, but since you post here, Im pretty sure you know that fountains of hate is posted when things dont go peoples way. I wonder if it's because this specific ship looks so good that people are dissapointed with it being a concept model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboDoge Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Star Citizen will end as one of the biggest disappointments since Destiny. Whole project just seems like something created for taking money from people that can be easily drawn towards "preorder" stuff. They will never cease with "we need money to finish our game, so keep kickstarting and dont stop". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to watch your steps around Star Citizen fans, there are so many trolls and "Game Journalists" that spout lies, slanted "news" who make S#&$ up or purposely leaves out things to make the whole project appear like a scam, so fans have a tendency to act defensive at the drop of a hat.

The same can be applied to any fandom. You insult any SMT related game and I'll gut you like a fish. Anyways, I've changed the title and the main post to correct myself.

ReizoRyuu Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yes concept sales have been going on for ages, the appeal of them is that you get life time insurance on the ship. Life time insurance was something only offered to initial backers. Basically your ingame ship is insured for destruction, so you don't have to pay ingame creds for a new one. Recent sales have steadily been cutting the insurance time, I think think it's 1-3 months now. I bought my Avenger when it had 6 months insurance, which is more than enough time to amass a wealth of ingame creds or even have several other ships. You don't have to buy any of these ships, concept or not, since you can get them all in-game. I do agree with that funding is no longer required since they raised 77 goddamn million dollars, and are still incredibly slow at putting anything out there; heck I'm not even expecting the game to be out until 2018, pretty much when Marvel Phase 3 will be wrapping up... Though I do enjoy moments like these in the (not even) alpha: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsterwithin Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 You mean the houndreds of space sim games from 15 years ago?

RawGritz Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) This is the glory you are paying for, for folks who don't know. This is all alpha...early and possible even pre-alpha. Dogfighting Landing Systems & 3rd Person Flying 3rd Person Flying Cont. I am using SweetFx 2.0 preview + Reshade.

EVen then, didn't one of the devs say it'd be likely around 100 GB? https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/4591962/#Comment_4591962 Yes, he did. I know it's massive, and I do got the the space for it, but my internet speed would probably take up 3 days for it to fully download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr33hn Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The same can be applied to any fandom. You insult any SMT related game and I'll gut you like a fish. Well, your right. Though I have followed the project since late 2013 so I am quite well informed about it, infact the money I had saved for this last Prime Access went to that 250$ ship you mentioned in your OP instead, but I have never seen the amount of BS about a game like the one that go around in the periphials of Star Citizen, in response the fan base seems to get more hostile. Should of not said 100, but more of recent, as I'm saying does it have a high difference then other space-ship games? Its not just a space-ship game but a space simulator with a open world, the last big Space-sim game that came out was Starlancer around 2002 or so I believe, the genre was killed off with the advent of the more mainstream consoles. So before the announcement of Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen the old timer space sim fans like myself were quite starved for new games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboDoge Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 And Roberts is overhyping their product. It is like Warframe in Space. Tons of ships to buy, no actual content to use them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
