Two days have passed, the outrage is over. Guess the next one!

[Montoya]

As always, a day or two goes by and the outrage machine slows down to a crawl.

Next up, a new patch, a new sneak peak or a new concept and everybody is excited again.

Lets try predict the next outrage! :D

Give me your best guess!

I say it will be some ship redesign that will piss off everybody.

 

[Stevetank]

I'll say the new patch because the optimizations in it will let more people play plus that 600i looks sexy.

Hmm, yes I see.

Did you read the question?

 

[Heartwood]

In all respect to our great leader :)
There is no other logical consequence than resting an refilling energy, waiting for a reply. No one would constantly stay troubled over a semi minor topic for days.

The issue is not forgotten, it's just that everything has been said and people are waiting for a reaction from CIG. If nothing happens, it will be remembered for all future contributions.

But back to your question: CIG's answer on the issue of warbond LTI only :beers:

 

[Vindictive69]

They have been starting to talk about the Carrack.. everybody loves the carrack.. I think they will do something with it that will cause outrage.

 

[Doyzer]

Items in 3.2 getting pushed back to 3.3?

 

[Stevetank]

Hmm, yes I see.

Did you read the question?

Sorry. Posting at work is bad and I accidentaly hit reply when I got up to work on something else, lol. Let me continue....

The combination of more people in the game plus a new ship could be bad. New ships have a tendancy to be filled with bugs and upset some people. A lot of people aren't ready for Alpha games, so they dislike the fact that their ship isn't 100% ready when it hits the PU.

Since the 600i is a nice ship, it might break a lot of hearts. I'm thinking this is where the next outrage will start, especially since lots of people come back for a new patch.

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

The very constant promises of a 300 series rework and never having any info on it is always a reliable salt-generator.

Also a ship will become flyable that was put to concept last week, whereas something as old as the hills like the Genisis Starliner will be put to the back of the queue. Works every time.

Or they'll finally give every ship ever bought with cash LTI but not ships bought with store credits! Thats guaranteed salt right there. That might even herald the apocolypse!

 

[RiceMaiden]

I'm disappointed, you need to think outside the box a little more.

What is one thing the SC community hates the state of more than anything else?

...

..

Nope. You're wrong. It's not framerates. It's not devaluing store credit. It's not even closed business spending and practices.

It's the Redeemer!

With the disappearance of the Voyager Direct I predict that we will see... THE REMOVAL OF THE REDEEMER.

That is right. I predict CIG will remove the Redeemer altogether. CIG has stated it doesn't fit into the current ship lineup and as time goes on it is clear it doesn't even fit into the current Aegis style guide.

CIG has already removed it from the store. It will quietly get removed from the ship guide. Then CIG will come out and be all like, "the next great starship contest was a good idea 3 years ago... not so much now"

RIP Redeemer.

That is a pretty valid one!

The 600i also increased in size dramatically from the sale, so Constellation owners will be all WTF?

 

[Takeiteasy]

The next outrage will be when people see me flying my Javelin around and CIG being adamant that it's not complete.

I can(or can't but will) tell you that it's complete, I have it and Ben Lesnick and I play table tennis in it most evenings.

 

[AntiSqueaker]

Guess 1) CIG makes all new concepts Warbond only, no credits allowed. That would be a fun one to see.

2) CIG removed buybacks altogether.

3) CIG removes trading ships from person to person.


Any one of these would be delicious.

 

[BUTUZ]

Next outrage is at Test Squadron Glorious Leader who siphons off millions of dollars a year worth of donations by members for website maintenance in order to fund a millionaire playboy lifestyle similar to that of Tony Stark in the movies.

Outrageous.

Outrageous.

Already happened at Xplore.

 

[Horatus]

2) CIG removed buybacks altogether.

Only allowing buy backs with real monies and not credit. I cant see them killing buy backs as long as it generated fresh monies.

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

They always said Pledge Ship Purchases would not last past Beta, and I'm sure I was told when I joined that the pledge store was only going to get less and less viable up to that point. I can't find anything to back that up, but none of what has happened and what will happen will surprise me - it was not like they didn't let us know it's gonna be gone some day.

 

[supitza]

CIG will put procedurally generated fried eggs up for sale for $9.99.
EDIT: but you can only buy one if you're already a $10k+ concierge.

2 eggs with bacon please!

 

[Jasum]

2 eggs with bacon please!

Bacon is only available to the Legatus Navium ($25K) ;)

edit: spelling

 

[Gucci]

Not sure if it will be the NEXT outrage but I am pretty sure they will change buyback prices to reflect the last time the ship was available (no longer their old discount price).
When that happens there will be outrage.
