Nope. All full on hookers and blow on this end. Thanks for asking.

I sold my ticket for the Hype Train Express. The crop of terrible titles over the last decade warrant taking off the rose colored glasses of half full potential. The reason is the majority of games have switched to a pre-funding model and turned consumers into investors. Yes, I have continued to try and verbally hold developers to promises made to garner investment.

It's only a matter of time until a significantly pre-funded title tanks so hard there is a class action lawsuit. Remember that soliciting investment or selling goods over the internet crosses the interstate commerce codes and god forbid the use the US Mail system and open that can of worms. That being said, I did acknowledge that what they are producing as in game assets are polished, the world is lush and dense, and the game is full of shiny objects deArt. The problem the title is having is on the core game mechanics end because space flight and six degrees of freedom is an extremely difficult task to fully integrate into a fully functioning space sim that resets the standard for PC Space Fighters, as promised to garner investment.

MWO is a very good example of cashing in on a genre and IP, with a decent looking game but the worst core game mechanics for the most important aspects of anything with shooting in it. Hit detection, latency, collision detection, ballistics and trajectory algorithms, net code and weapon balancing. I don't think SC is anywhere near the debacle MWO was and at least CIG deconstructed the CryEngine that is a root cause of the aforementioned core game mechanics and understood they needed to reinvent the wheel to have any chance of a solid Flight/Space Combat core mechanic suite.

I have my own SuperHornet mit military fuselage thank you very much. You should be more concerned with my "bad guy" alternate account(s) and the terribad farming that will ensue. At least the gray market paid off the investment nut for the multiple accounts and bought a couple KGB there initial ship packages for Alpha/Beta access.

Don't make me have'ta Troll ya Bro!
