Here is another cool thing from the SC website:
Wanna customize your SC ship with a special, distinctive voice-personality ?

played it, totally disappointed so far. it seems like a mess to me...
Heh! Man... you said that above. How could you ignore what YOU said.
let me rephrase what you said and how that sounds for everyone who read what you wrote above:
"yeah, they are open to sell ships after release, of course, now there are not too much people asking this. But who knows what the future reserves and how many people will request that in the future".
[mod edit]
Or are you assuming that the community always will be just you and your fellow few backers that give opinions in the CIG Forums and never will grow in any relevant manner to lead new people willing to make such requests, so all your wishes will always prevail over the wishes of a majority that will REQUEST things later?
Well... That basically fits with my own thoughts, right? But in the other hand, the game will be basically dead if these new do not come. And you, by yourselves, won't be able to sustain the level of income if things are not offered, just non-expensive cosmetic/irrelevant stuff.
But in case you believe that "millions will come", as you presume, you think that its a unnatural new people coming, in much larger number that you guys will able to compete in terms of "opinions of majority prevailing" and willing to have some better head start than just a weak ship?
And you call that "secret plan"? Conjectures? Can't you see or predict anything in your life based in obvious trends and things that obviously will happen because its the natural thing to happen?
Can't you look to this under a perspective of a "new backer" and the scenario that they will face in the time of the release, or just after that, for just a little second?
Pal. How do you think that people make projects, plans, or whatever project, if not having the analytic tools to predict what is going to come? Business is pure and simple lottery in your logic? And you do not have even to be a skilled business man to see what Ben said implies.

@pappacube :
Fair enough.
Yes, IMHO it needs a lot of improvement (especially in performance and customizable controls). What would you like to see improved ?
Please keep in mind that this is still an Alpha Version.
Have you posted your recommendations for improvement in the SC forums already ? They NEED that input because you and me are giving them valuable feedback.
Have fun
Project and quality management. Meaning IT area? Software development?
They've made so much money that they could make greatest game of the millenia and it still couldn't live up to its hype.
Meaning aerospace ;-) , energy and pharma. Usually also includes IT, but not limited to software development.
Its fine to see spaceships and planetary travel in computer games like SC. It's even better to work on this in RL.
Have fun
The problem is ... you can never satisfy EVERYONE. Because people expect different things .. have their OWN personal vision of what SC will be. Some will be disappointed ... that cant be avoided.
And in my experience .... trying to please EVERYONE leads to a bad result in the end.
Have fun
I see. That made some things more clear to me about your thoughts. Thanks to share.
But you can avoid the increase of the disappointments. You do not need to risk yourself to a train wreck when you are healthy and fine. THAT INCREASE, to a unsustainable level, with no damage control possible, CAN BE AVOIDED.
What leads to bad results, not just in my experience, not even in yours (I am sure of that now), but in the experience of decades of the game industry is that if you do not prevent the increase and level of disappointments you are doomed, and worst when you focus a lot, a lot... and a lot again, to increase the chances of more disappointments.
People overhyped is already a weapon of mass destruction for games.
People overhyped + over-invested + game overpromised/underdelivered + a long long wait where the money was earlier invested and you keep your attention longer and longer ...
man...
that will be epic!
The only surprise that I see here, would be a "medium / long-term" success coming from all that. Then, I would put a CR statue myself here. I and all the world. Because definitely, those that puts him in the level of magician and divinity, definitely would be right. He would be almost like breaking the rules of physical here (an analogy obviously).
Exactly.
The talking about "you can't make everyone happy" is true. Is so true as the train wreck that it causes when people underestimate this true, in the point to increase the consequences of that to an impossible level to manage.
They barely deal with the couple hundreds of people that are not "phantoms" and stay all their days in the CIG Forums, barely criticizing anything, more like willing to "spread the word", saying good things, in a serious marketing obsession.
And just a dozen angry and that thing usually explodes and they deal in a level of a fiasco with such things. Letting more and more people angry by tactics that goes to the level of Gestapo censure.
Just imagine when all those phantoms that are all keeping away and waiting. When they come. One day they must to come right? Or they don't exist? Just imagine.
If in a dozen of serious fans, show disappointment from time to time, and the thing already explodes from time to time and they show total incapacity to deal with that properly, now imagine those that are not really so "fanatics" and will come with more critical eyes, not so forgiving eyes as that couple of hundreds of passionate fan have.
If just a couple of disappointed people makes all this mess (as these guys claim that are just a minority), imagine when you raise that to thousands.
Again... epic train wreck. No way that it will come to a success. And more and more this people are feeding it more and more to decrease more and more any chance of success. For the sake of what? Getting "BDSSE 10" before BDSSE 1 (and ending, by the majority of others more critical that will "reappear" in the end, delivering BDSSE 1 anyway)?
Heh! Just shooting in their own foot, and too proud to admit. They will persist with the same approach, until destroyed this game forever, probably in no time to those half set of features that will miss in the day 1 to be implemented and released.
And yeah! They won't put the guilty on themselves that motivates and created this huge snow ball effect by their own attitude, of "who cares with who is disappointed".
The guilty will be of the haters.
Not of who made, during a long long time, this huge effort to be hated for more people as possible.
Victims. Poor victims.
And CR again, "frustrated" with the game industry, with the lack of understanding of the haters over his "vision", feeling so sad by having to move again to the Movie Industry with more 80 million dollars in his pocket
50 million dollars is nothing for a game of this scope.
