Well, Hamill does have quite the range. Remember that he is the iconic Joker voice (as in the voice of Joker in nearly every animated Batman series for at least the last decade), Firelord Ozai, and a few other notable voice acting roles in addition to playing Luke Skywalker.

[@loIipz]

Mark Hamill has a drawl in his voice that makes him always noticeable, like a signature. Even if he somehow kicks his gravel. This ain't MarkHam.

[@snake8443]

People might hate this commercial. But the capital ship shots are soooo good.

[@strongback6550]

I think the main issue with these outlandishly priced ships is that people don't understand the concept of crowdfunding and just see these ships as things that are behind a paywall that only the wealthiest can afford. Just understand your own budget and don't buy into anything you can't afford like an idiot and let the rich people throw their money at this thing till it's complete and then you can get that stuff without sacrificing an arm and a leg.

[@celanis7164]

I know, right? Big ships like this need a crew to operate. Its mostly going to be orgs that purchase it. Having a battleship for serious escort missions for org operations.

[@Deargodwhat]

Or don't buy any ships at all, and get the starter ship and make your way from there. I'm surprised how many stupid people there are whom won't even do any research nor understand the basic concepts of crowdfunding.

[@JJtoob]

... or MMO games.

[@Deargodwhat]

People find it is entirely okay for a game to take years and years to make, as long as they don't know about it's existence. However, that's simply not how crowdfunding works. AAA publishers get away with it cause it's out of their own company with predestined cash. Never needing to announce it until its nearly done. They don't the need additional cash to make it.

[@strongback6550]

Crowdfunding literally is not ever supposed to be a fair trade. Basically, what you're doing is you're throwing money at developers in the faith that they fulfill their promises. It's not an investment It's not buying a product You're just throwing money out of the goodness of your heart to support their project. The only thing that's perhaps different from this is perhaps buying the game packages for squadron 42 and Star Citizen as these two are practically speaking just pre-ordering a game, but even pre-ordering should make you think twice. Basically, don't be an idiot. Unless you think you can afford to support a game and really, really want to do it, don't. I can understand why many people want to support the game, considering this is some cutting edge level stuff they've shown us, but at the same time, you gotta remember to look out for #1

Heh alright a new Star Citizen vi- oh it's a commercial. Buy more ships. Buy more ships. Buy more ships. I mean it looks pretty cool, excited to see it in the game, but BUY MORE SHIPS>

[@NextGen_Pants]

Whether or not I'm being forced to buy anything doesn't have an effect on my current irritation with RSI. Delay after delay after dela- hey here are more ships you can buy with cash. I understand it's going to take awhile, they had to basically make a game engine first since Cry wasn't quite up to the task. That's fine. I've been following for quite some time, but I'm just getting a little tired of the ship commercials. The budget right now is massive, as are the funds, so seeing the fund raising expand once again, I'm just starting to think more people are eventually going to get annoyed and it might have a negative effect. If anyone wants to buy, that's their business of course. Maybe I'm just getting burned out already. I kinda want to just step away until things really pick up. Still really support the project and think it's great that they're independent. Maybe this'll all make sense when it comes out in 2024 lol. Hope my GTX 2070 is up for the task!

[@NextGen_Pants]

Ah well, sorry that I had voiced an opinion different from yours.

[@NextGen_Pants]

Brainbug It may come off as whining to you because you don't care for what I'm saying. I'm afraid the continuing sale of new ships while rollout of playable progress remains slow may start to turn people off, as you can see I'm not alone in the comment section. Some may have put it a bit more crudely, and yes my first post was snarky. But like I said already I'm not abandoning SC, I'm looking forward to it, but I worry about the marketing and public perception too as it can make or break a game.

Hahah for sure. It's our only hope!

[@PsychNurseHaldol]

Sorry about no SQ42....but here's a $750 ship!

[@Instifly]

well yes and no. It does cost $750, but for the most part, you would spend that much because you want to fund the game

[@elfwyn8707]

Also it is a ship for a minimum of 14 Players. So it is more like 45$ for each. That is the way it is meant to be played.

[@rudy_4ier]

let's not pretend that people buy expensive ships in goodwill to "fund the game" though. you really want to fund the game? write CIG a cheque. if you checked out the RSI forums and starcitizen subreddit, you'll see anyone talking about purchasing ships for the purpose of wanting the ship, not because they think "CIG deserves our money let's fund them!". this is CIG being smart enough to cash in on people who have the money to spend, and are willing to. fair play to both CIG and the consumers. i'm not going to judge their financial choices. but anyone who thinks people buy to fund CIG out of goodwill are either delusional or in denial.

[@elfwyn8707]

chuhrros I think you are partly right. People are not that one dimensional. Greed is not the only deciding factor when backing money for Star Citizen. I know I wouldn't have spent that much money just for an advantage in game.

[@rudy_4ier]

* Elfwyn * i didn't say they buy ships to own ships for advantage over others. there's a variety of reasons to wanting to own ships. i used to have a temptation to buy cars in driving games, or other in-game assets in other games. and it's just for aesthetic/collection appeal. nothing advantageous. in a space/sci-fi game, ships serve as the vehicles you need to facilitate whatever sci-fi/space game fantasy many fans of the genre have been craving. what kind of sci-fi life would you want to have in this grandiose sci-fi universe? yeah, ships will facilitate that. that is the rationale, and it's not about advantage, and it's not black and white or one-dimensional either.

[@JapaneseNathan]

Can you optimize the game more so that it's not as laggy or more complex graphic settings

[@m0nkeyman911]

the game runs fine in single player, the issue is the shitty netcode which fucks framerates while in the Persistant Universe. they say they will implement a new netcode which will greatly improve the framerate in the 3.0 patch later this year

[@nicknack125]

They are. The current framerate issues are server related, not optimization issues. For instance, everybody gets around 20fps on the Persistent Universe (big multiplayer) but I get 70+ fps in Arena Commander multiplayer.

[@Gizmoand23]

YOu wount see any optimizeation in alpha games.. all that stuff happens in BETA. alpha is basically where they add all the features.

[@teknoguy1212]

In the CitizenCon demo they have implemented the new network code and got ~120 fps in space and ~70 fps on a planet.

Will this happen? probably not Will I try? yes I will Will I stop using my fantasy to create scenarios like this in my head? hell no. It's way too much fun.

[@BizzMRK]

This video is not only related to the ship sale on the website but also to the game lore. The whole warbond program will exist in star citizen so that regular civilians are able to purchase military grade equipment from the UEE in the game.
