Concierge Black Card

[TeaLeaf]

I'm intrigued by the pop-up events and meetings.  Wonder what and where they will be?

Did seem a bit vague. They'll likely give access to some in game features as well. Nothing game breaking which is nice.

I got mine with mixed emotions. Shame and joy.

Seems nice just wish they concentrated more on getting it all built

They could always stop all community feedback and go dark for four years.  That would get it built quicker.

But that might not be what people wanted after all.......!

Sneaky, I'm sure if you say whatever you have to say in a considered and coherent manner then nobody will be knocking on your door to lynch you.

I'm still confused about the qualification for concierge membership.

I can see a total exceeding what I was told is the amount (I'm a subscriber for quite a while now, not just ships! [bit of self justification there!]).

But I'm still not concierge material.

I've send a ticket in to support.

Agreed.

...but I'll have the rope ready, just in case.

I believe it's $1000+ in pledges.  I'm not certain, but perhaps subscriptions don't count towards the title?

Also, if you've gifted anything, that doesn't count towards the total either.

It was confirmed by an admin that they do contribute. It's no different a pledge than a ship package.

well tbh i think they should stop with the shameless plugging for more money and get some actual content out there,i mean when's enough,enough?

Well, I inderstand the sentiment echoed by many people, but we have to bear in mind that to build this game through to the end will cost in the region of $150m, so the current $94m isn't enough (although I believe that they have secured alternative funding) and they need to demonstrate continued income in order to satisfy suppliers and service providers. Not only that, but we're only 3 years into develpment,Mao there's at least another two years to go.

Additionally, have you seen what's coming in the next week or two?  If you haven't been keeping up with the news, Alpha 2.0 is now being 'crunched' on and they clearly expect to drop it to the PTU either this coming week or the following week (the latest weekly report actually says that they hope it is the last one).

An early version of Alpha 2.0 was demonstrated at CitizenCon, and from what they have said, it's had a lot of additional work, and a lot of additional content added to it: 30 'starter' missions, NPC pirates spawning at the borders of the map to keep you corralled, FPS will be included (but not the stand-alone Star Marine module), along with additional 'hidden' assets for explorers to find, new IFCS flight modes, multi crew ships (including the Constellation, Retaliator and Cutlass) as well as new ship UI for Avenger, Cutlass and Constellation as shown here:

I think another aspect that you may not have picked up on Sneaky is that RSI merchandise tends to be on a cost basis, not a revenue raising basis.  It's more something to keep the troops happy rather than trying to raise another $.

If you haven't ordered one yet, be quick about it as they are about to stop taking orders on Saturday (if I recall right) due to overwhelming orders.
