LOL

Unlike the ship once you open the box, it unlocks it account wide. For the ship, you have to log into each character and claim it.

Yeah I was surprised that he didn't touch on that but he probably skimmed the blog and missed the detail

I am!

@@MCStu Excellent, and thnx. I like seeing your budget or reward ship builds, especially the carrier stuff. Turns out I enjoy playing them, and as a grandpa with limited gaming funds, your stuff is very welcome.

Beginning on next month.

Sooner than that "Console players will receive this giveaway from December 3rd until December 17th."

For me it says `You can only acquire "Grand Nagus Giveaway" once on your account.`, but the box I got _is_ account bound, not bind on pickup.

@@diminios Once you open the box on any character the contents are available to be reclaimed on any other character from the 'Promotions" tab of the store.

@@Byrvurra Ah, cool, thanks! It doesn't even say that the ship claim is time limited, so that's also nice.

OMG I wanted this ship for years since I missed it.....

Damn its been 4 or 5 years not 1 or more

I believe it is the Styx

@@MCStu Thanks

Thousands of hours in this title, fantastic in VR but the Dev's fucked that up too with bells on lol.

They all should work. You may need to change the catagory in the tailor.

@@MCStu They don't though. Khan is under "helmets and wraps", which is why I specifically mentioned that I don't have the option that tab, at all. I created a new slot outside "uniiform" and clicked every combination of every menu possible, looking for robes, helmets and so on. So far, zippo. Risa sunglasses don't show up - although, it does offer me to buy 8000 zen dyson sunglasses, so I am thinking maybe they stealth nerfed a bunch of options with this round of Jem recruit or I am bugged out. Ps. I should probably also mentioned I have crossed referenced where the items are, under which menu, with other characters, where it works fine. So it's not a matter of me not knowing there is an off-duty tab, lol, if only!

I feel the need to add to this. If you're starting, I suggest more than the Aurora package for $35. The Anvil C8X Pisces Explorer for $45 is VERY worth the extra $10, as it will give ample room for Delivery missions, which is the easiest and fastest way to make money early on.

So you’re saying star citizen was announced in 1995… looks pretty good for such an old title.

Sounds more like it was announced when you were 4, and now you're 16.

Server meshing is being done in many games and stating there is nothing like this but no mans sky you are missing the best space sim game out Elite Dangerous. Eve Online and Starfield are also good but you can combine both of those and you have Elite Dangerous.

@@69Alpha69Wolfe69 (WARNING OPINION INCOMING! YOU NEED NOT AGREE) I played EVE for 14 years.... It's old, outdated and requires FAR to much time investment for anyone over the age of 17. It just got old and far to stressful. I rolled with Intrepid crossing out there near XDeath, so i was in the 0.0 game for a long time, help assault tribute back when we exploded that one server =D good memories of an otherwise stressful game. Elite Dangerous is empty, no substance, terrible UI, terrible controls and boring combat. No mans sky will never get a dime, they lied to their customers, regardless of anything that came after, they LIED, KNOWINGLY. Starfield is trash by a trash developer... Enough said.

@@thecommenter9678 Thanks for your opinion you are definitely entitled to it. If you hated the time sink in Eve you will hate Star Citizen then. this is not a game you can log into for 15 min and make any real progression. Elite Dangerous if you hated the UI and controls in it again Star Citizen will blow your mind on how bad it is. Star Citizen has a much much MUCH higher learning curve. Thousands of people are still playing this game as well its just so massive you wont run into many people but I do all the time. No Man's Sky it making about millions every year in 2022 alone it made 50Million. Starfield while you feel is trash is trash I would love to heard why you feel this way and why you feel Star Citizen is better? While you have opinions on other games you have not shown a single reason why Star Citizen if better in any way than any of these other games. It extremely buggy and while its rated as F2P the cost of ships are more then if you bought all these games together which is horrible. As the current reviews have stated the game is not worth playing at all in its current state and when you compare it to whats out there it just simple falls short. I however am happy your enjoying the game and I hope you continue to enjoy it. That being said if you hate games with no one else playing you will be alone in this one as well shortly after people stop trying it.

@@69Alpha69Wolfe69 Oh im not saying any of them are better then each other. They all have major flaws and none of them are really good enough (again my opinion) As for Starfield, i think that really SHOULD be obvious at this point... You only proved what i was saying about Elite dangerous, i have no idea WHY people still play it, but it's not something i care about, if they enjoy it that's good. But it's empty, you hardly see anyone, there is nothing really to find or do, and it's all just copy pasted system after system with nothing at all interesting. As for No Mans Sky, well, people are stupid, they will forget betrayals by massive corporate entities all the time. That ain't strange. Me on the other hand i hold grudges, im very good at it. Still won't pick back up Helldivers 2, i quit during the Sony thing and i still ain't seen that damn "You need a Sony account" BS taken off the steam pages so far as im concerned they are just waiting to try again... lets not forget all the countries they blocked out of pure spite alone. We think differently, that is all, so agree to disagree i suppose, but I ain't a supporter of Star Citizen, it's clearly never going to be worth anything in my eyes. (again opinion) *Shrug* think what you want like what you want. I really don't feel anyway at all toward anyone who thinks opposite of me on this. PS: Thanks for being civilized *Tips hat*

For the 1.0 release they are focusing on 5 but the rest are coming down the road. They are just not going to hold up launch for them or fishing or the other wall of features that are not crucial to a complete game which was long overdue.

Wales UK?

lol

Why not? If you look it up, LOADS of game take over a decade to develop and the ammount of money they make from pledges has nothing to do with it. It's a custom built game engine pushing completxity and detail like no other game out there. It's only because it has open development that people are aware of it to meme online.

@@NemoticonWhy not? Because Star Citizen started development in 2012 or 2010 according to wikipedia and if I Google the list of games with the longest development time what I see on the list in Spore that took 8 years, Too Human that was 9 years, The Last Guardian that was also 9 years, Team Fortress 2 also 9 years, Final Fantasy XV that was 10 years, Prey (2017) was 11 years, Diablo III also 11 years, Mother III was 12 years, Duke Nuken Forever that was 15 years and last Metroid Dread that was 16 years. This is a outdated list since Dead Island 2 come out and took about 12 years ... I cannot generalize that list, I will say most of those titles failed to meet expectations and often had problematic development (such as when at one point in FF XV Nomura wanted to make it a musical). To put things in perspective, Concord took 8 years and cost 400 million dollars and Elite Dangerous that also had a Kickstarter in 2012 released in 2014. Also another thing, its not a "custom build engine", its CryEngine or Amazon Lumberyard or its current name, StarEngine and I have no idea why would you make such claim, also since I am at it, Star Citizen "switched engine" in 2016 and StarEngine is based on Lumberyard, now Lumberyard been succeeded by Open 3D Engine since 2021 meaning its "heavily modified" engine is based on the 2016 Lumberyard version. The reason people meme Star Citizen is we quickly saw it was either be stuck on development hell due to feature creep or it would scale down to a realistic version, I did brought the initial pitch until I saw the "selling of jpgs" since that was a red flag, as the game development seem to be "add new feature that will delay the game for a extra year" and my interest was only on Squadron 24 that was not only "delayed" to post launch but being a separate product, my interest vanished entirely. I am only here because MC Stu is one of the few active STO KZbinrs and this appeared on my feed, the truth is nobody outside the bubble cares about Star Citizen any more, we have bigger fish to fry this day ... might appear sometimes when someone remembers about it and goes check if it released or something but space combat sims were already niche and there is no real interest on then today.

@@drakron For someone who doesn't care, you just wrote 6 paragraphs, lol. Maybe go outside and get some real contact with humans.

They say they make money from pledges that community members make, not from the sales of specific products. They make it very clear when you’re buying something from their store that 1: the game is not finished and 2: you are not buying a product, you’re making a pledge, and they give you a product as a bonus. That being said, you never have to spend more money on the game in order to play, than the minimum amount to get the cheapest package. Should you choose to purchase a better package or standalone ship, you also will not be at an advantage over players that did not. The game even in its current state is balanced well enough to prevent that, where all gameplay you could engage in will be skill based over anything else. Also, those ships in their store that cost like $300+ are not for the average player to buy, CIG knows how much those cost. Those ships are for org leaders to purchase for their organization

@@Yela_indi sure they make that clear, but those people are still going to feel betrayed in a year when their 500 dollar ship sucks compared to new offerings.

@ really every ship has gotten or will get revisions or major updates over time, they don’t just make a ship and leave it as is forever. With the amount of time and resources that go in to pretty much ever ship, it wouldn’t make any sense to do that especially considering that they want existing ships to continue to be sold

@@Yela_indi Maybe. Like I said, they aren't going to tell everyone they are going to deprecate their ships in 6 months, but we've all been around.

@@pwnyboy01 simply wrong. You can switch your ship to the new one.
