I don't think my [CONCERN] has ever gone above a 1 since I pledged to SC.
Concern increasing that Alpha 2.0 will not be this year and what that means for SC

I don't think I even had [CONCERN] as an available option in regards to SC. Haven't unlocked it, I guess.

Honest people are hoping too much.
I expect at least around mid-December to before X-mas. At best
if not then Q12016

I think the best attitude to take for SC's development is "It'll be out when it's done, and when it's done it'll be awesome"
I even apply that to when it comes to [CONCERN]s about how the media/press see it, cause there's no denying that once it's all done it'll get good reviews. (Or at least we hope so...)

I just wouldn't get to excited for something that may not come any time soon. But, I'm not even slightly [CONCERN]ed. Chris Roberts has too much riding on this too fail. IF, money were an issue he wouldn't be hiring more people. IF, all those who have their doubts are right....so what. Most backers should know that this isn't a sure fire thing. Things can go wrong. They usually do. Assuming the doubters are right, Roberts career would pretty much be over. No consumer would trust anything he is behind. Also, it would tarnish any chance of any other crowd funded games. WE have seen what happens when companies through shiny people at their customers. You end up with CCP all over again. They've promised SOOO many things that even to this day have NOT been delivered. Then finally, everyone revolted and threatened to take away CCP's allowance. The big issue is that Chris Roberts is dreaming BIG and with that comes delays. Any time some new idea comes in, it will also cause delays. So in the end, like i said before, full launch isn't expected until end of 2016, so anything we get before then is just bonus. They don't HAVE to let us play anything until they do launch.
TL;DR: Complaints are annoying, there are several other threads on this topic. Considering, this was announced 3 years ago(?) and so far this is all they've given.....if you recently pledged, you should've thought about THAT already. If you have doubts, ask for a refund and go play something else.

All of everything you said here. I need a vacation from "soon" and god damn it TEST WHY WON't YOU LET ME GO!?

Absolutely not!
This is the worst thing that can happen. Screwing up with a company's financial planning in such way.
When people pledged for an game still in development, they should know that their money is gone and if the game comes its fine, if its never delivered, then take the legal way.
Asking for a refund on a crowdfunding project is at least ridiculous. Its like you going to Red Cross and asking for your money back because 3rd world countries still suffer.
You're absolutely right, we don't know exactly how well off CIG is right now. However, we have tons of evidence that indicates they're doing fine, and any suggestions to the contrary are entirely based off of statements made by a couple of alleged former employees who wouldn't have actually had access to know how the company was doing financially even if they are actual former employees, so I think it's a bit silly to worry based on what we know.

It is in no way shape or form a bad idea. It would show CIG how many people may have lost their faith. Not to mention they would sacrifice any perk of being any early backer. CIG is doing well enough, I'm sure they could handle a few refunds.
I agree. They will not run out of money. They may take a few dings in the media about delays but there are plenty of us on board that just want to see the thing done right. That will take time. Pushing out half-baked releases will do more damage than delays.

You know... MAAAYBE some of us are actually INTO that, ya know... ;) Hey, hey, HEY!! You know what they say: it's kinky when you use a feather, but PERVERTED when you use the whole goddamn chicken! Let's enjoy these little feathers here and there. Remember kids: foreplay is fun!

[CONCERN] for game? No. The game will come. Even should the nukes launch, the meteors hit, or the machines rise, there will be a game. But [CONCERN] for SOTS 12? Oh my yes.

I want the game made soon, as much as the next person.
But thinking back, I actually enjoyed the journey.
All the anticipation, drama, and constant crying on CIG forums, made my days fun haha.

so i found this interesting. people managed to glitch the ac menu in order to fly the retaliator. the ship looks atleast 98% functional i think that they are just ironing out a few kinks in the gameplay side and if i had to put money on it, id say between christmas and the star citizen annaversary

Has anyone tried playing multiplayer with it? I'm curious if other players can move around the ship while it's flying.
To the topic at hand, I can understand people's concern given Chris Robert's latest scandal. Apparently, he's blowing all the backer's money on cocaine, as proof by this Derick Smart/ Escapist Magazine paparazzi photo.
