Build is finished now. Thanks for following me. Time to hope for a mod of the month nomination!  You've been a lovely community for my first project and I will continue with this hobby and take it further. I hope you will follow then again as you did now.

Pictures in no particular order
































Husky bongs

Not a lot left no, just gotta get the waterjet to cut out my pipe strengthener bits and get those powdercoated and final assembly can commence. Here's a small sneakpeak    

Great news. Removed a RAM stick now it boots. Now the long process of installing the OS.

Lucky to use soft tubing making it easy to work around and no leaks.

On Overclockers the XB271HK is only £500 which is surprisingly cheap for a 4K monitor though I'm not too bothered by price or HZs given I can always upgrade in the future.

With the grey stripe running down the plate and the small bits of green as my secondary color maybe a white backplate with those green stripes could work.

Stock photos can't be relied on too much......look at the pictures in a menu at a restaurant and then look at how it turns up, I can almost guarantee  there not the same 

Project Impossible is finally ready
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey everyone! Just put in my application on the RSI website and joined the Discord channel. Looking forward to running with you all!

Finally purchased the game and just submitted my application.

Oh man, I should have checked here before I signed up for the game... Oh well. I'll send in an app to join the org tonight when I get home from work

Finally purchased the game and just submitted my application.

All right, and here the first final outdoor pictures.  
                                       
indoor pics with lightning comming soon :wink:

Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines... Like repurposing a couple of TV arm mounts

I won't go into much detail, since others have already touched on just about everything you've said.
 
1. Can we call it dead? Hahaha no. The game has continual development, we're constantly seeing new features, bug fixes, improvements, etc, added in weekly. They've even opened up their internal schedule to show people like you that they're not just sitting on their asses.
 
2. It's a semi-broken game because it's in ALPHA. Most AAA games you wouldn't even have heard about it while at this stage of development. Most AAA games get announced (and corresponding media attention) when the Alpha is basically done and closed, and the Beta phase is getting into gear.
 
3. As others have mentioned, this is straight up wrong - please provide a source claiming the 2012 release date. They've had two, as @Napper198 points out: November 2014, and 2016 in general. The first one was never going to be hit, because that was based off of meeting minimum funding goals, with NO Stretch Goals hit. Furthermore, they kept adding stretch goals because money kept coming in. More goals = longer time. All backers had plenty of time to cancel their kickstarter donations before the campaign ended. Also, I do believe that if you ask, CIG will give you a refund. They've had several periods in the past where they accepted refunds, at least.
 
We've pretty much seen behind the scenes for this game since near day one. Most AAA games don't get any attention until a year or so before release. Yet most AAA games take 4-7 years to make. Star Citizen isn't really behind at all in that sense yet.
Yes they started in 2011. Yes they showed off a (very scripted) tech demo. Chris Roberts has not by definition scammed anyone. He offered a future product for a given price, with stretch goals (the goals evolved over time, but the basics were still there in Kickstarter). This was mostly done right around the time the Kickstarter campaign took off, BEFORE they collected the money. There were some changes after, sure, but not many fundamental ones.
Just so you know, CIG has raised over $135m USD for the game, plus their own financing/investing. I'd hardly call that an Indie Budget. If the original $10m USD was hit, then sure, you could claim indie, but this is basically a AAA game, just using their own studio and self publishing.
 
Can you provide any sources about "most of the money being gone", and the game being 30% done at best? I'd say the PTU is maybe 30% done (maybe more, hard to say), but we have no idea how far along SQ42 is, and that's half the game. It's chugging along nicely from what I've heard.
 
Where did you hear that they aren't paying their staff? That definitely requires a source. I've not heard a single bad thing from any of the employees about the conditions or the pay.

Getting accepted in the UOLTT, I feel prouder than when I graduated law school...

If they abandoned the project, then took the money and ran then yes it would be a scam. Games take time to make (Though Digital Homicide begs to differ) and if you actually looked at the frequent updates as shown on their Youtube channel then you would see why it is taking so long.
 
It's one of the most ambitious games to date. It takes time and effort to make something great and isn't done over night. Ah, who am I kidding? You're probably just a troll.

Chris started in 2011 with help from a few cryengine advisers to make sure the engine was capable, 2012 was the crowdfunder and 2013 they had a place to work.
 
Once they had enough money to be able to build star marine AND star citizen at the same time they decided to ask the community if they wanted a bigger scoped game or stop the funding, they asked twice and the community wanted more. AS for the terms of service, the first didn't have anything in it, the second was poorly written and the third was re-written for clarification.
 
It's now easier to get a refund and the only people that say it isn't are the nay-sayers.
everything he has displayed has been in game minus the 3.0 stuff and up coming 2.6, they could be out of money but they've been pulling 36-ish million a year and are only 3 million away from breaking last years record.
 
This source sounds like something from Derek Smart or Escapist or Something Awful has said.
why finish it?
Because this is Chris Roberts dream, this was what he wanted with Freelancer before Microsoft fucked that up, thus why he wants no publishers.
"Would it have been better if Star Citizen took a similar roll out path?" No Star Citizen relies on hand crafted worlds, Elite relied on Procedural Generation tech a lot more than SC.
 
Both had good paths but doubt they would suit each others, it's also worth remembering that Elite had been worked on 4-5ish years before the kickstarter IIRC
there will probably be a free fly come January February if you can wait

Groups are usually just for operations so you can do whatever in the meantime. I also see no problems in switching groups and/or participating in multiple ones, but it might hinder progress within the group.

Here it is guys! Final pics
 













 
Hope you enjoy! Stay tuned for another video
 
Cheers,

The most part of the internal layout.
Some painted with acrylic and plasti-dip for the rest.


I've made some covers for the bottom, sides and back that will all be painted white or wrapped once the wiring is done.

With the arrival of my Maximus VIII Formula from Asus I wanted the color to match my theme of white and green, and so I removed the plastic shell and got to work using Plastidip.




Loving the end result and looking forward to putting the rest of my system together.

i love the switches on the case  

I painted mine and it's just fine.
