Atlas Defense Industries requires members to earn certifications to fly their own ships!

[SeungRyul]

So apparently Atlas Defense Industries had a welcoming seminar meeting yesterday and the entire gist was telling their fresh members what they are NOT allowed to do in ADI.

One such restriction placed on new members was the 'Certifications' for flying ships. Apparently in order to be allowed to fly your own personal ships (not org ships) each and every member has to earn a certification from one of the staff members. So say you are a new member who just backed Star Citizen and want to fly your shiny new spankin' Freelancer, well sorry you can't too bad.

While I appreciate them trying to take Star Citizen seriously...man that just seems like a horrible way for introducing members into the game -_-

tl;dr TEST is Best?

Wow, for your own ship? That's a bit much.

 

[thanatos73]

Right, if I want to ineptly fly my own ship, drunkenly into the Sun, I should be able to........

DID I JUST CATCH YOU TRYING TO FLY YOUR OWN SHIP!?!? BILLY! OPEN FIRE ON THAT BOAT!

I could see some kind of certification/approval being neccesary for flying shared/org ships, (especially the big ones), but if you bought the ship, you can do whatever you damn well want with it!

 

[Black Sunder]

How do you enforce something like that? Its your own damn ship.

"Hey guys people are not dropping out of our org fast enough. How can we escalate this?"
"Lets make people get bullshit certifications on their own ships that we make up. That will encourage them to leave real fast!"

 

[Grimzar]

I really like the comparison XD.....but really I'm surprised what you said that they need certificate for flying their pwn ships???! Look if it ADI ships say a big mining ship that the organize own i can understand and respect that if they want to go seriously in the game but your own ship???

 

[ACrzyRussian]

I could see having a cert for Org ships (Id want to make sure someone was at least competent before letting them fly mine), but their own ships? Thats crazy...

 

[thanatos73]

Watch, next you'll have to be wearing an ADI uniform to, at home, to fly your own ships.

 

[GeneticPredator]

That's just too much....:confused:

 

[Blind Owl]

Hahaha, the Bright Idea Fairies are strong with that org.

 

[AwesomeDude]

I'm going to suspend judgment until i see their own video or post about it. not that i don't trust you seung, it just seems far fetched.

 

[MzHartz]

I guess that's not too terribly different from the orgs that require a flight test to get in. I guess it's a way to be exclusive without saying your exclusive, so you get the benefit of.... Um... Okay, I got nuthin. What purpose will that serve?

Things like that would make me want to join the org, just to do things against the rules and watch people get their panties in such a bunch it collapses into a black hole.

A black hole that nobody is certified to fly into...

I might just buy another account so I can test this theory....
"Hi I'm RudeCromagman, and I just bought this Constellation something... who wants to fly with me?"
"You're not certified!"
"Hop in and let me take the test"
"Okay, but we're watching... hold on... are you set on a course for the sun?"
"no"
"But why is the sun....arrrgh it burns"
Burning "Yes"

You had a real burning desire for the certification!
