"Squadron 42 to be delayed for at least another 5 years as CIG pivots towards a live action Star Citizen movie. Developer Chris Roberts claims his success with the Wing Commander movie will help deliver the ultimate non-interactive Space Simulation experience to a hungry player base."

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

Either!

EDIT - Eighth!

Thank you, Glorious Leader!

(Is it only me or goes the word "eighth" look like it isn't spelt right by default?)

Based on the posted schedule, I'm expecting to see CR at least 2 time on screen & at least 1 ship Jpeg at some point during the event. I'm doing my best to keep my expectations low, so that when they're blown away, victory is ours!

 

[CosmicTrader]

Dancing with @Montoya LOL

 

[Vavrik]

(Is it only me or goes the word "eighth" look like it isn't spelt right by default?)

Answering a probably rhetorical question... Yeah, it's not. It's like a 14th c spelling that stuck around. The route from Latin makes sense but it came to England via the Holy Roman Empire - so what we know as Germanic countries, not Italian, French, Spanish. There was also a strong influence on England coming from the western part of Lothringia, so like the Netherlands. You have Charlemain's family squabbles to thank for it - we still see that influence in the UK and most of Europe.

... I could talk your ear off about this...

BUT I like the SC progress plans, we'll see what they get through and what gets delayed. What I'm really looking for is at least 200 players, very soon.

 

[Sky Captain]

So basically, the show is over after the third topic (ship sales)? ;-)

 

[Han Burgundy]

Talk at me, Tony. Talk at me for as long as you like. If someone threatens to cut your stream for length, we have assets in place who are prepared to do what is necessary to buy you the airtime you desire. Tell the people what they need to hear. Tell them all of the wonders you've birthed!

...*cough*...oh, and it also might be cool to see some progress on the Merchantman. Not holding my breath, but a man can dream.

 

[Thalstan]

I am expecting the website to crash around 11-12 eastern time after the ship announcement

Nah man. Gotta wait till the end when we're embraced by Chris Roberts' bosom as he 'returns to take us home'.

 

[Talonsbane]

There's still the grand finale with CR, that usually has some razzle dazzle to close things out. Like the 1 a couple years ago when they showed the Carrack heading into the jump gate & then in Pyro system.

 

[Sky Captain]

Hope C.R. has some razzle dazzle up his sleeve for the closing.

So little hype leading up to this year's Citizencon otherwise.

I got distracted by shiny things and missed the first 5 minutes. Logged in at 4.05 and missed the intro entirely

 

[Bambooza]

it wasn't much. So far the show has been all pre-recorded so not much different than a normal weekly update.

That's cool, Twitch seems to make my Laptop run hot so I'm only going to watch the ship section and the closing speech and watch the rest on the 'Tube when it is uploaded.

 

[Richard Bong]

So there is a 400i coming, and looks flight ready.

Looks like s small Carrack.
