    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    Changing the order of priority for PTU to prioritize testers instead of people that have provided significant monetary support isn't the best solution, IMHO, but it is a legitimate solution. To then sell access to anyone that wants it, regardless of their play and test habits, contradicts the...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    The hangar module would have to be rewritten from the ground up. While I believe bringing back the hangar module is a good idea, it is also scope creep I don't believe we need. They did have "personal hangars" in the tracker and it was supposed to go with the cargo refactor, that no longer...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    You missed where I suggested Subscribers be moved, like High Admiral, to wave 4. Why move one without the other? This way people aren't paying $10 just to check out the new hotness. Leaving Subscribers as Wave 1, regardless of their playing, puts CIG in the same position they are claiming...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    I don'tcremember where CIG posted that data. It has been a while. It was in that neighborhood. Being in wave 1 has been, and is still listed as being, a concierge perk longer than it's been a subscriber perk. From...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    From https://support.robertsspaceindustries.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002542733-Concierge-Levels-and-Rewards It's been a listed Concierge perk longer. (Still is listed as such.)

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    I don't have any more access to data than you do. The key is perception. According to everything they've said about subscriptions, that is where the money is supposed to be going. Is that where it is going? Given this change, that doesn't appear to be the case. The question becomes, if it is to...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    The Subscribers are paying for the weekly shows, at least according to CIG, not servers. If the subscribers are active testers then they would move up from wave 4 to wave 1 or 2 due to their activity and CIG still gets the money. Further by spreading out the Concierge tiers they appear to be...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    If it is data over dollars, then subscribers should be in wave 4 or 5. Putting subscribers in wave 1 says they are hurting for money. That they need new money and way over spent the money they've collected. If it isn't about new money then the simple solution is to leave all of concierge in...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    While true, it's an unforced error that just makes them look greedy on CIG's part. To avoid this, they could leave all of the Concierge in wave 1, and when the feature tourists drop off, in a couple of days, go to wave 2. It doesn't cost them anything, and still fills the stated goal without...

    Yet Another Cash Grab. I'm disappointed but not surprised.

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Mary Sue is not a character we need.

    should we have an ingame channel for the org?

    That too. At least Point Defense.

    should we have an ingame channel for the org?

    Since we already have in game voice and video chat, and channels, it kind of begs the questions as to why this hasn't been delivered.

    should we have an ingame channel for the org?

    Yes, we should. It's been one of those features they haven't bothered to deliver.

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    And Disney+ lost 4 million subscribers in Q1, instead of the projected gain of 1.5 million.

    The primary objection is poor writing.

    SQ42 development status

    There are several reasons I still have mine. It is one of the ships that got me to pledge for SC. I really like the aesthetics, both inside and out. It is my one large crew ship for loading up and playing with friends. The Hammerhead, which I've considered as a replacement, doesn't look like it...

    SQ42 development status

    My point is, this is the exact same state the tracker was in 2 years ago with regards to the SQ42 teams. The work lines ended and the teams had nothing new on the schedule. They purged that far back on the tracker or you could go back and see it. Note John Crew said, recently, that the...

    SQ42 development status

    The same thing happened 2 years ago. I wouldn't read anything into that. Just because a line on the tracker ends, that does not mean the work is done, it's ready for launch, or it has even been worked on at all. For example, two years ago lines for 31 chapters completed, as did the Retaliator...
