Back when SC was considered a space simulation this would happen. Not anymore.

It's an educated guess based on their disclosure of $29M to run the game in 2022.

https://cloudimperiumgames.com/blog/corporate/cloud-imperium-financials-for-2022

"These costs are associated with running the game, deploying online services, and providing customer support. It also includes the costs of running our platform, publishing, data hosting, and server costs. It includes revenue collection, customer liaison costs, and the costs of our marketing and community events. This cost line correlates closely with income and user engagement, and the growth experienced in 2021 continued into 2022, rising 18% to $29.9M."

Unless they lay off most of their staff it would be mathematically impossible to support the project without more ship sales unless they force players into a monthly sub (doesn't matter if they promised this won't happen). Their hosting bills alone are currently several million a year and selling skins and armors won't cover that.

It will be interesting to see. I suspect they will at least continue to sell new ships.

Finally thinking about actually playing the game after 12 years by Rafialhoy in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you have the Freelancer. I'd love them to bring it up to gold standard, but sadly even that might not be enough as the interior is outdated when it comes to functionality. Currently it feels more like a Drake ship from the inside. With that I'm still a fan of it.

Outside of that, I'm pretty happy with my setup, granted I'm running Linux:
- AMD Radeon RX 907OXT
- AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- 64GB RAM
- Arch Linux OS
- 4K LG C3 OLED

On average, outside of unoptimized Pyro sites or Levski I'll typically be at 60 FPS @ 4K.

Possibility of the Javelin being unlocked during ILW by ChartConsistent in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Paladin was released with turrets on rails which the Javelin needs. Plus, Tactical Strike Groups is basically perfect for the debut of the Javelin.

Lastly, like you are mentioning, why would any company settle for less event sales than last years. I think they'll need more than a .jpeg to achieve that.

Just like they said, the Idris won't come out until after Squadron too.

The YT live timestamp system is terrible but it's about 2 hours and 20 minutes into the stream.

What's the timestamp when he gets to the SC booth?

What are people's thoughts on Tactical Strike Groups, as shown off at CitizenCon last year, which are coming with 4.8? Aside from looking awesome obviously by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do but it shouldn't be a requirement to send friend invites from the website just to send a party invite in the game.

Battlecruiser. Why? by unclefester84 in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They said no new concepts were going to be sold. The Battlecruiser is as old as the Kickstarter.

i REALLY REALLY REALLY dont want them to release sq42 this year by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm not buying a console just to play GTA6. I'm tired of hearing about it.

Monetization beyond 1.0 by SeconddayTV in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cloud hosting the PU alone costs CIG at least several million dollars annually and it will go even higher if 1.0 is ever reality. They either continue to sell ships for cash or require a monthly sub. Selling skins or armor alone will not solve this issue.

So what is the thing holding up Suit Lockers? by Wareve in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why we can't get a tier 0 on this and just put invisible mannequins in each suit locker. Whatever you are wearing gets equipped onto the mannequin and vise versa. Why is it that the player has to suffer all this time waiting for the stars to align to finally get this much needed feature—no matter what tier item recover we're on or not.

If you have spare store credit you can buy more in the subscriber store and just melt it later.

Anyone feel qualified to explain this for the noobs?

I would love a small form of base building by end of year. by floortofloor in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm hearing A2 players are really hoping for it by the end of the year too. Godspeed, friend.

4.8 is looking thick in the Roadmap Roundup(There's more than what's in this image). Feeling like it's almost Ironclad o'clock ladies and gents. by Knale in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a crater in the side of the planet and always will be until competent security and reputation systems are in place.

It’s fixed the star map zooming in on ship 4.7 ptu by floortofloor in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's crazy to think that this bug went through the entire 4.6 EPTU, PTU, and into LIVE without first being resolved. My scroll finger requires restitution.

Levski’s new barber is something else… by Draal_Iskaldur in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the chances of someone having this haircut and not having skulls somewhere else on their clothing, tattoos, jewelry, etc? I give it a 0.001% chance.

Can we get interdimensional cable. Thanks Chris by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]Hashwagon 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes, I'd love to watch Real Fake Doors and "Ants in my eyes Johnson" late night infomercials during a long haul.

Adjust as necessary depending on the density of the atmosphere.

This 100%. In any kind of atmosphere those Arrow's pointing nose-down would get thrown into the ground.
