Someone needs an ego check.

Sounds like the usual entitled plonker on the RSI site. The instant you have Subscriber or Concierge access you find tons more like him![]()
c&p'ing my post from bit-tech on the subject...
Just read that CIG have been hard at work on the website, and now everyone is locked to their regions pricing, so we're back to the full on 20% tax at the USD price, rather than being able to select the more favourable EUR price.
$83m, 'couldnt do this without you, the backers', 'pledging your support', and to do so our support now costs 20% more than the majority of the world. Heaven forbid they recognise what this community has raised for them, and will continue to raise, and cut it a little slack, at least on digital items so everyone ultimately pays the same price - nope, scrape the barrel for all its worth.
Stuff like this genuinely makes me regret having pledged beyond an Aurora, and i've had zero interest in pledging further since around this time last year way before this was an issue, so this wont cost me a penny more, but it doesnt mean this doesnt stink. Would it have killed them to set the +VAT regions prices more favourably on digital goods so a $50 contribution costs close to $50 like the rest of the world, rather than $60. When only about 4 of their 40-50+ ships (excl variants) cost close to that, let alone the extra expense of their $250-400 or $600-2500 priced ships.
Oh of course i forgot that CIG put forward a law stating that All of Europe has to pay VAT now.
Personally, i think the ships manoeuvre thrusters could do with being dialled back
Made a point to avoid all SC media since announcement, haven't even watched any videos as I want it all to be new to me on release. What are the "flight" mechanics like? Is it movie style, based on aerial combat or does it confirm to real-ish space physics?
