Where are the fanboys? I see plenty of people happy to criticise CR and CIG, it's not being a fanboy to point out that your argument is nonsense. Games take years to make, throwing money at it won't speed that up.

halfway through it's development but they continue to raise funds as it's got to finish that development cycle and then support the game and infrastructure after release. They've now raised over £80 million and that's not including deals with companies, funds from physical goods (as far as I can tell) and subscribers contributions.
I'm still not convinced it's even halfway through it's development tbh.
All "hull" variant come with jump drives as standard:

I think looking at the new list the Merchanman's figures will be vastly changed. I'm happy with it being larger than the Hull C - but I still think it'll be revised down.
Everything is subject to change - but yes completely agree they shouldn't have to alter them that much just days after releasing them.

Depends, I prefer the combat in Arena Commander to that in Elite by a long shot BUT it's still very limited and is basically a glorified tech demo. They really should offer regular trials/demos so people can give it a whirl.
If in doubt don't back just now IMHO, plenty of time for it but if you think you'll be interested Agnes, create an account on the RSI site and buy a ship skin, that gets your account registered as a backer so any backer rewards given out will be credited to the account, maximum loss if everything falls on it's backside would be about $6.

From the hull C Q&A
“Why should anyone NOT prefer the Banu Merchantman before the Hull C?”
The primary advantage of the Hull C is the modularity. Where the Banu Merchantman will allow you to swap fixed hardpoints, the Hull C gives you an entire spindle of attach points to access. The Hull C is also intended to be more common (and less expensive!) than the Merchantman.

Ah it's the the trolls back on the weekly moan, have you actually backed the game or just like writing guff? If we are fan boys why is this thread full of us picking the development of the game apart ? it will come out when it's done rather than half finished like most games these days.
Why would I want to do that? How about you throw some facts our way ? This game is partially in alpha, some parts aren't even that far along yet and it's still got 2 years + at minimum before it's released. They haven't even released a rigid timescale for release, only aspirations as they won't punt it out unfinished.
We're accused of being fan boys on here fairly regularly but in truth we've all been watching this game grow since day 1, we're aware of the progress and that we're only seen 1 module that's in development so far with several entering alpha this year. As an alleged "Fan boy" I find the label rather amusing since I frequently bitch and whinge about the development
Alpha - not beta, not gamma but the very first phase. Anyone backing this game now who doesn't realise there's a massive wait whilst they make it is rather daft. Production may be ramping up nicely but that doesn't mean it's coming out anytime soon.
Then again I've put in over 100 hours into playing the first alpha combat and racing module so I'm actually taking part.
I'm just wanting a standard Starfarer tbh, Gemini would have to be something special. I'm probably ditching my Vanguard and Hull A's though at some point so may melt for one of them.
Always wanted a Starfarer and Caterpillar so bit annoyed we've still sod all info on the 'pillar.

You're right LTI on the variant seems very odd, setting a precedent I guess for future sales too (as far as the whinging community will see it).
Wish they'd get a move on with the CCU/upgrade options, taking far too flippin long to sort that out and it'd be a money spinner.
