    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...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    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 Return to the Good Star Wars

    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...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    I've watched two episodes of Rebels. It appeared to be written for kids, and was poor, shallow story telling. (And it wasn't season 1 but season 4 a pair of episodes connected to the Mandalorian series.) I watched most of Clone Wars, which was before Disney, better than what Disney has done but...

    Long term persistence

    We are supposed to have: Every dynamic object in the game should include states of ships (which should include MFD choices, weapon groups and lighting). Across servers should mean if your ship is on the pad at an outpost, or getting blown off the pad so it is above the pad, and you 30K while...

    Long term persistence

    At 4 systems per year, it's still 25 years away.

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    It's the inconsistency in the main characters' motivations. It's the glaring plot holes. It's the absurdity of the main focus of the story. It is the lack of depth of characters and lack of character development. It is the "side quests" that are "important" but abandoned almost as soon as...

    Long term persistence

    In Lindbergh's time the Airports had beacons, and radios. Aircraft had a mechanical horizon you could see under all circumstances, a functional altimeter and proper charts. An alpha is supposed to improve and move forward to release not remain static.
