I've jokingly suggested that they add a fedora to the clothing selection before, this is even worse.
Ryan Baker
You get a physical brochure with it when you buy one apparently.
Nathaniel Kelly
Space is fun No mans sky is fun Sean Murray is fun
Hunter Ross
First for hexagons and wires Bets are on for Star Citizen 3.0 coming out before Elite Dangerous 3.0 Awaiting the typical angry posting, people claiming space, garbage games and trash people are fun, Goon/Derek Posting and cultists crying wolf at every touch of criticism. Did I miss anything? LETS DO THIS.

Is this CIG HQ?
John Jenkins
So how big is this thing?
Jason Sanchez
Between 48KB and 58KB it seems, how big are the .jpgs usually?
Colton Baker
About this big
Ian Miller
Ha. Seems pretty fucking big then.
Connor Howard
Elite Dangerous is 42% off for the whole game at the moment, $34.79US. Just in time for CitizenCON!
Landon Morales
Assuming the Ursa is ~7,5m long the front is like 100m wide, which would make it more or less 300m long based on the top-down shot.
Daniel Thomas
Doesn't seem to have any armaments or turrets.

It does in this but not anywhere near enough to defend itself
Parker Sanchez
I do wonder if all the idiots jumping on this sale right now ever stop to think for a minute about what they need a base for.
Brandon Diaz

Easton Gutierrez
Who's that?
Jason Ortiz
No idea.
Jacob Brown
Only took them 5 years to start selling bases. Next year; moons.
Nathaniel Evans
It does, ship is huge, turrets are small.
Landon Brooks
How would you design a high fidelity base building minigame?
Alexander Miller
I wouldn't, it would magically appear. Hire me CIG, I can solve all your time and fidelity issues.
Jace Clark
So now CIG is moving into the land deed and real estate business, like Richard Garriott's disappointing Shroud of the Avatar project.
Luke Baker
Too bad we can't modify ships. Imagine that being a defenseless carrier.
Jose Stewart
looks like straight from homeworld
Nicholas Fisher
>people paying $750 for a flying base >don't realize ben is hard at work coming up with 6 $150 modules to be sold at a later date, invalidating your purchase
Austin Cooper
How can Ben continue to design ships when he has no idea what they look like?
I've got a Citizencon ticket, the venue is literally around the corner. Still unsure if I should go. When I bought it I thought I'd get a typical evening-long presentation and then I go home. Then it turns out the whole thing will take half a day, and then CR says there will be no Squadron 42. Also I got really fucking jaded about the whole thing in the past month or so, when 3.0 doesn't even look like it'll be ready before 2018. Got to really hate this game's fucking fanbase, too. Having to endure 7+ hours among these mouth breathers while listening to Dave Haddock talk about some alien races that won't be in the game before 2025 sounds like a nightmare to me. Should I still go? I'm ready to just accept that I wasted the money.
Anthony Rogers
I'm going as well.
Hunter Adams
Any medical practicioner able to diagnose this?
Dominic Turner
He's gone mad.
Cooper Robinson
The original face of functional autism.
Adam Peterson
Not to mention it sounds like the presentations are from an in-universe perspective. So if you thought the Gamescom RP was bad, get ready for more but without any gameplay to drown out the cringe with. For instance I'm betting that instead of playing a cinematic, they're going to have an actor who looks like Silas Koerner come on stage and present the Pioneer.
Probably better to go for the keynote part and read up on some summaries of the presentations later. That way you get all the useful information without sitting through all the bullshit.
Easton Bell

Jaxon Parker
3.0 release date??
Joshua Clark
Literally who? I googled and found nothing.
Charles Hill
I still have no idea. I saw the guy for the first time today when I opened concierge autismo spectrum. The only thing he does is keep sperging out about how they "have no additional details to provide" and how much jay peggs they've sold at a ridiculous price.
Eli Ortiz
My thoughts exactly. and I have nothing against that, I was kind of hoping they would. For it to be a colony ship is so fitting I could almost believe it was intentional
Asher Martinez
Seems like he's just an obnoxious moderator.
Brayden Gutierrez
This makes me want it more.
Carter Rivera
So the Pioneer is both a colony ship and a construction ship? If it's a colony ship, I wonder how good it will be at exploration (since it's in the name). Since colony ships in fiction usually need to find an ideal habitat to settle on and sometimes don't have a destination when they depart on their voyage. Since it's a colony ship, I wonder how many people can live on it and how much cargo it can store.
Your thoughts?
Jacob Barnes
I will be endlessly amused if it turns out you can build bases with a caterpillar, or god forbid an Argo or Cutlass.
Hunter Young
>Your thoughts? I'm looking forward to making a lot of UEC guarding these things in my Polaris.
John Turner
I have to admit I also like this freighter. It's not particularly iconic but I love it. Don't know why.
Julian Bennett
He just keeps doing it
Adrian Collins
I'm looking forward to me and half my org cracking them open with my polaris while the other half of my org loots all the goodies they will certainly carry and loads them on my E-Hull.
Luke Gutierrez
starting up SC again after not playing it fuck knows how long.
I dont know how to do any thing but walk around and sorta move a ship.
>Cant travel fast >Cant land >Ship crashes
Quit
I hope 30.0.0.0.0.0 brings a tutorial Cause motherfucker Do i need flying lessons...
Sebastian Price
>plz dont abandon us plz. t. Fdev.
Aiden Anderson
Well, people like you are why I would get paid for such a thing so godspeed.

>CIG makes $750,000 in a day selling a base building minigame to whales
Unreal, but I have to say I'm really excited to see one of these things actually pull into atmosphere and start putting together a base. I imagine that these might be the most logistically demanding ships that a player can own, but we won't see one for a long time.
Here's a concept art. Concept art isn't always accurate, but it's safe to assume from this image that you'll need a specific ship designed around base building to build bases. I don't think it will be like Space Engineers or Rust where you can just put up bases wherever you want using nothing but hand tools. Though having all the bases in the game made by one ship is a bit weird, so I assume towards and after release there will be other base building ships.
Lucas Watson

Christian Lopez
The Pioneer made me question something. How were bases built before the Pioneer was created? The same goes for all the other industries. I guess the answer is that it's a video game and we can assume other ships exist in universe even though they don't exist in the game.
Jack Robinson
Prefab units transported via cargo most likely.
Mason Lee
i donno big cargo ships? that ship cargo. and that cargo is building materials?
Do you think he knows the internal release window for S42 and accidentally said it out loud?
Brandon Nelson
Well, "next year" isn't very specific. But I wonder if he knows that it's definitely coming out sometime next year. With S42 being the subject of the holiday livestream, that might be the best time to drop a release window, if not a release date.
Caleb Lopez
I didn't know voice actors are in charge of game development and production schedules.
Justin Collins
CR might've told him something that was meant to be kept between them, but he accidentally blurted it out.
Shit. I can imagine this playing out like Alien. The Pioneer comes crashing in from orbit with a critical systems malfunction and lands on a strange and desolate ice planet. While exploring the area around the ship the crew and settlers uncover an >ancient evil and have to survive on their out of commission pioneer until they can escape. One by one they're picked off until there is nothing left but an abandoned ship.
Jaxson Powell
Don't give CR movie ideas.
Grayson Sanders
Found this gem on Steam F2P, can't believe I didn't know about it.
Who /grind2collect/ here?
Gabriel Murphy
epic op image man, this is just what we need to help our fellow redditors feel more at hom
Levi Gutierrez
I think we need to talk about the bonus situation
Lincoln Fisher
Do we think that this game will produce any legitimate machinima? With all the tech and options I feel like someone with a lot of time and commitment could make something that would be unironically good
Grayson Sanders
>mfw this fucking thread
Is Star Citizen the greatest digital scam of our generation?
If you mean in game recorded stuff, definitely, will it be good? Doubt it. The face movement tech with webcams looks bad, there are no decent camera tools as of now (director mode is pretty barebones) and so on.
Brody Diaz
damn it looks fucking coool
Nolan Bailey
I didn't know they made a new Homeworld game Oh wait.
Dominic Smith
feels like christmas man
Julian Adams
Your parents made you buy an Intel (R) Optane (TM) before they let you open your presents?
Colton Collins
my nigga the moment arrived
Henry Allen
>SC as first person homeworld would be a bad thing.
Liam Cook
that would be fucking sweet bro
Oliver Hughes
>/scg/ fantasizing about features that won't come for years again
Levi Sanchez
Hey now, I never said that. Also stop giving more dream that will never come true. SC is a miracle already, but it doesn't have the feeling a Homeworld game have.
