In theory, players will have the possibility to mod the game (private servers, of course, and maybe the single-player?):

If the customization tools are robust enough, there will be a good handful of really good servers. If history is any indication, some will be designed around handling < critical commonly complained about flaw of vanilla game's combat >

The Organizations (Guilds) section on the official website will launch soon:

Sounds pretty slick and detailed. Hopefully it won't turn out like the Guild sub-section on the pre-launch SWTOR website (useless, in the end).

It was a bad post made under the influence in a thread I'm trying to avoid.  I will stick with the buying a package for schild for him to give away to someone to mock the game if the dogfighting module isn't a failure.

Edit: I mean it actually woke me up an hour after I went to sleep with the thought "Oh God I didn't post in the star citizen thread did I?".  Then I blew it away without thinking.  Then it woke me up again this morning with the throught "Oh God I didn't both post and then blow away the post in the star citizen thead did I?".

It's refreshing to read someone "on board" starting to post some concerns though. That's why it is not cool that you removed it. Not because we want for the drama to finally begin to unravel (after all, I am a backer of this thing myself), but because there's a need for some objectivity from within the fanbase, instead of just the skirmishing between the skeptics and the believers factions.

Well yes, but there's nothing significant released to talk about, so I'm not bothering to post from the cautiously hopeful camp.  Fanboys and complete detractors are all that are left.

His post was basically saying, "Hey Lucas, let's not bump this thing unless we know the dogfighting thing is panning out, because you know, there are concerns about it and we don't want to attract the bears."

That's completely inaccurate, I had a farside cartoon in there as well!

Also I'm not a fanboy, my consistent opinion has been "I hope this is slightly better than EvE and EvE sucks so how hard could it be?".  My last two posts were "here mock this" and "if they don't get a working dogfighting module the game is doomed".

I don't think even Bloodworth could be considered a fanboy, he mostly just reposted official news (which I appreciate because I'm not going to the star citizen website every damn day).

If you want horrible, horrible fanboys then, as always, consult the official forums.

That's why, even though you are a backer, your post about caution was particularly meaningful.

Don't consider these ships DLC for a game that is not yet been released, consider them investments in your future of gaming enjoyment.

Too bad that the lack of ships beyond the 100$ mark gives away it's not an official sale.

Hey, idiot. Want to spend your money on this garbage? We don't even know what it is. Some pop cans attached to a pile of goblin models from a cancelled reboot of Lands of Lore. Maybe? We were going to try to sell you all these different animals you could ride like horses and pigs in Lands of Lore and then we just said "screw it" because we could sell you anything as a spaceship, including horses and pigs. Why bother with another reboot Kickstarter? So join the, uh, whatever, is this a space game still? Whatever it is, get your Sodawolf Mark 2 thing. It has torpedoes. You can fly it inside a bigger ship and put cargo in the goblin. Give it a shot, dummy.

Buy ten of them with the money you were saving for your kids' college fund. These things are sure to go up in value. It'll all be a sound investment. The guy responsible for the Wing Commander movie is making this game. What could go wrong?

I love that link.

A lot of those limited edition ships did indeed turn out to be an excellent value. You could have doubled, tripled, quintrupled your initial investment.

Of course, much like with bitcoin, hindsight does not make something a wise investment.

Might be, but wasn't the modular system supposed to be the cornerstone of their game building philosophy?

edit: my forecast is that if the dogfight video isn't substantial and full of actual content, this game will never even reach playable stage. They're going to spend all the money deciding what to do with the money. And a few sports cars.
