I'm not gonna try to defend a game that doesn't need defending, and I'm sorry for helping derail this thread. I will be off enjoying my space sim whenever it comes out, and in the mean time I'll be playing my other games like I always have.

It's funny how players who went ballistic for CCPs vision can't even entertain a vision that not only has the monetary funding required, but a MASSIVE team of INCREDIBLY talented developers behind it, all with a very open and straight forward approach to sharing and collaborating information with the player base.

Y'all even saltier than me, and trust me, that's saying a lot.

Sorry just the amount of vultures who are harking the death of kick-starters on star citizen is a fairly large group and that most people paying into star citizen are not new people. Hasnt' been for a year or so.

900,000 unique backers for a game that's still 2 years out is still pretty damn impressive.

I had a sliver of confidence in the game before until you mentioned that number as it was nearly the same number someone used in an argument over the game nearly a year ago.

Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 6094	Posted - 2015.04.28 20:24:00 - [31] - Quote I posted this in the feedback thread as well, but I would be FAR more comfortable with the ~$10 price tag if every week a couple skins went 50% off. I'm willing to wait for a skin to go on sale before buying it for $5, and if the impatient people want to spend $10, then go for it. This is very typical for F2P models to have regular weekly sales on cosmetic items. "That little s**t Pokey..." --CCP Rattati, Biomassed Episode 032 Dust514 // Podcast & Blog www.biomassed.net

That's not an entirely valid line of logic since existing BPOs, which cost ~$10, will be converted into a SKIN-less BPO and then the associated skin which will have the same capabilities as the new purchased $10. So in short, buying a BPO in the past gives you exactly the same capabilities of the new SKINS, plus a BPO. So in comparison, the new SKINS cost the same but you get less out of them, and I don't think that's entirely appropriate.

The whole thing is rediculous anyways, the idea was that we would be able to design the suits to look however we wanted, and at least put corp logos on them Reloading, the silent killer.

Game publishers and studios, even the good ones, are sneaky assholes who are counting on you purchasing a game that hasn't even launched yet. I'm not at all saying Star Citizen is going to be a good or bad game. It might be my favorite game of all time. Just don't give it any credit until the stupid thing goes live. We (the gaming community) have been burned time and time again recently by this kind of pre-order, kickstarter, hype train nonsense and I'm tired of it. We all should be. @Ripley_Riley "Ripley, you're a fucking artist" - Cat Merc

That's like me telling you to not play Dust each time you complain about about a feature of the game, or just to not shield tank whenever you complain about supposed shield vs armor imbalances.

Hold on, let me go tell Aliens Colonial Marines, The Order: 1886, and Assassin's Creed: Unity that. Don't forget about Elder Scrolls Online Some details can be ignored

Buying a virtual starship vs buying a computer that can barely run the game. As apposed to Dust where you have no other choice but to barely run the game. Console peasants don't understand the true meaning of "barely running". Barely running is setting the graphics to "lump of ** in the vague shape of an object", and still getting 10 fps This reminds me of the tears that my brother in law shed when he tried playing Smite on my wife's computer.... He set the graphics to "lump of ** in the vague shape of an object" and was left with "Smite: The Definitive Stop Motion Animation Edition" I lol'd We the pc players make up a huge majority of active players. --Roman837 ^^ROFLMAO OMG I need to catch my breath now..

Yeah they still do crap at all in battle apart that you look a bit different. However BPO suits and weapons are more valuable then just a cosmetic item. Im curious how much the stuff will cost in the FW LP store once CCP got their head around implementing it. If i look at the AUR/LP i would guess around 50k LP for a skin. I make the scrubs scream and the vets cry.

That does not effect a player deciding to buy a skin at all. I use nothing but caldari and could get a skin that could go on 10 of my caldari medium suits. I decided not to because the price is far to high. To put the type of player I am into perspective I have spend well over 1000 euro on free to play skin content in moba's and other MMO's over the past few years, why have I spend that much? because the content was cheep. 5 euro for a skin that will last me a lifetime. This is how free to play models work, you charge little and get lots of sales, CCP seems to think they can knock the price up and they'll get (and probably do) one or two people out of hundreds to splash out on the content. its bad marketing. you want players to buy a skin in a free to play game you make sure at least half the players are running around in skins because the price is low. its free advertisement to new players, they get into a match and see players running around in awesome content, they look it up and its only 5 euro. course they'll buy it. Drop the price down to something reasonable and watch the money roll in CCP. they wont just buy one skin, they'll buy the lot n++pâçGòÉS+Ç 27+ Million SP Merc n++pâçGòÉS+Ç Gû¼Gû¼+¦GòÉGòÉGòÉn¦ñ Caldari Loyalist Gû¼Gû¼+¦GòÉGòÉGòÉn¦ñ Of course we won, now when do I get paid?
