a HUGE chunk of the money for the game goes to marketing you know this right? why the fuck do they need marketing when they already said they need a certain amount to make the best game roberts wanted to make. its gone way above and beyond what he needed and he’s still doing marketing tricks to get more money. they kept adding stretch goals after stretch goals, they just stopped adding them once it went beyond 65mill. you hear less about the stretch goals in the news now but you don’t hear anything about him selling “unique” ships to raise more money for? nothing, he’s just selling more premium ships.
what I originally said was they better make the best game they can with that money, EVERY CENT/PENCE of kickstarter money should go to where its supposed to go, towards the game. I have the game, the ship gameplay is pretty bland at the moment so im hoping this gets improved A LOT.
I hope the game is good, im looking forward to it. but like elite dangerous, they kind of got people seduced to a massive universe, but you barely know who the real players are, and thats because its covering up the fact theres only 16 players per instance. if they worked on the player communications to get real players together it would of been something special.
hrmm, i’m trying to pay, and it keeps telling me I have to read and agree to the alpha disclaimer. I’ve checked all the boxes, and actually scrolled through the terms of service…wtf am i missing?
edit: not a good sign that I am fucking up at this stage of the game…
edit: nvm their website was fucked up, wasn’t recognizing I had agreed to their terms.
Haven’t got it yet. I wasn’t even aware that you could get it yet. I’d be more prone to buy Elite: Dangerous than this at the moment. I’m not keen on purchasing unfinished games, no matter how much I like the IP.
Right now, all you are doing is supporting the game by buying in.
So basically all of these ships are available in game, you just have to make them.
But aside from paying more, you can’t get more until the game launches.
When it launches.
Can you imagine what a douche move that would be? haha
I HAD 3 YEARS INURANCE!!
Sorry… The game took 5 years to develop.
I bought the Freelancer on Oct 12, 2012. About the same time I made the thread.
I didn’t buy a single ship up until a year ago or so, when they released 'Lancer variants.
It was either the DUR (travel), MAX (cargo) or MIS (militia).
Glad I upgraded to MIS for 40 bucks more, because the other two are still available to buy, whereas the MIS is not.
Might be in the future, but because my original backing bonuses all transferred over to the MIS, if I wanted to, I could sell it on the grey market for quite a penny.
But I won’t. Cause I wanna use it.
Although I did come close to upgrading it to a Vanguard Warden for an extra 80 bucks. That thing is sick.
so the game installed and threw me into an empty hangar. Any way to make my ship be in the empty hangar? Couldn’t really figure out what to do. Tried to do 2 mission options I saw pop up, butr they wouldnt lemme click on it.
So far this is a fucking amazing hangar simulator.
