They're having to stall for time because they're downloading a new build! This is a recipe for disaster.

Someone has the X-56 at their desk, wonder if they'll use it
It's OK, there are only 10,500 people watching between Twitch and YouTube. Hardly anyone will see a disaster, should one happen.

I have to say the HUDs and cockpits in general look worlds better.

i have no idea if the stream is acting up or the performance of the game is tanking.
lmao ship sale.. they cant spend 15 minutes without trying to try sell something.
on a side note if this is the newest build and its being considered a "frankenbuild" 2.6 is a lot far off than we think.

The stream is acting up, and the audio is kinda messed up, also two people immediately crashed to desktop.
Usual CIG event quality, late and all.

The interior glare on the Hornet is pretty egregious.

Also 300 ping somehow.

This is the slowest race I've ever seen.
How are you supposed to get ahead of someone? There's no speed boosts, no drifts, no slipstreaming.
Except buy a faster ship.
Oh.

This is going to be a long stream at this rate.

So like every other stream they've done? =P I mean, does anybody actually expect punctual, bug free, non-cringe-worthy live streams from CIG?

"This is so much fun" say dude who looks like he's having no fun, and has been in the office for 24 hours straight sipping energy drinks.
Who the fuck crunches all night to prepare for a Twitch stream?

Four of their new ships are just variants with new paintjobs.
Not even visually different, just a skin and a different loadout for $85.

Haha, that's all they had! Fucking hell.
They didn't even do anything to the flight model except make it slower, still no inertia.

This is like a 20%-30% increase on these ships which sort of lines up with their cash discount. How will the community take it if they increase the cost of a ship just to have it equalize with cash discounts?
I dont think melting affects the buy back price of a ship right? Or does it switch to the newer one?
e- Also I'm going to wait till after the real stream but I'm feeling pretty confident with saying that 2.6 wont be out till next year. They have one month to iron out these bugs and push it down through the testing pipeline. Doesn't seem plausible given what they failed to show during the preshow but maybe it'll work on the full stream.

Buy backs are at the price originally paid. Like I can buy back my Gemini for like $240.
what the fuck is this shit

some people over on the defense force r/starcitizen is claiming the price hikes are in place to keep the ships as exclusive as possible during the sales. spending $3000 on a ship you cant use for god knows how long is insanity.

How was Star Marine? At the beginning of the stream they said they were going to play it, but I didn't watch the stream until the end.
Concept ships going up in value as they get closer to being released, flight ready, ect. Nothing new, has been going on for a while now. The first big one was the Starfarer going from $175 to $195 then $300 at flight ready. Once some of the bigger ships like the Carrack and BMM get closer to flight/hangar ready they will go up as well.
that's garbage reasoning lol.
So the livestream looks to be shit then? Nothing great?

they're going to show it today. Anniversary stream is at 1 PM PST.
for anyone thinking about requesting a refund.. do it during the sales. additional funds will come in and they will use that to pay you without question.

Lando said they'd be showing Star Marine after the dogfighting and racing "as the last thing we do" several times and then they went "welp, end of stream, see you at 1pm!"
Like it's clear the build was broken as fuck and they couldn't show it, especially as they said the pre-show would be going on for 4 hours. No way they flew those Twitch streamers out there for only 30 minutes.

taken from reddit. new ships/variants that were revealed during the stream. it doesn't look good to me but someone out there will buy it lol
Sabre Comet - UEE Skin, Snow Camo, "Shotguns" on Wings
Gladius Valiant - Combat/Dogfighting Focus, New Skin
Hornet F7C Wildfire - New Loadout, Dogfight Focus
Avenger Renegade - New Skin
Isn't the Super Hornet already a Hornet with an emphasis on Dogfighting? Why does one ship need two variants for that?
But yea those all look like shit, no thanks.
They never played it. They just played Arena Commander and racing, then stopped streaming. The whole thing lasted about an hour and five minutes.

I understand newcomers being surprised. Anyone following the game for years now shouldn't be surprised.

and on top of that the weapons will most likely be altered for better or worse. if its downgraded you're stuck with a ship that looks like shit.
Is there still something coming or did they lack the basic decency to say they won't be playing Star Marine?
If it's still coming, when is that going to be?

official anniversary stream starts at 1PM PST.
I think Reddit said they're going to play Star Marine in 2 hours.
There's hope then, isn't it?
Five years by Roberts count and alleged 130$ Mio. later, arena shooting will be redefined.Similar threads
