Manchildren with disposable income, who want to feel special.

In real life, $10k dollars is nothing impressive.

In video games, 10k can make them special snowflakes with hundreds of people sucking their cock.

There is no reason to buy it other than bragging rights so I don't give a single fuck to be honest with you.

Also that's not how salaries work you underage faggot. You don't earn 70,000 of spending money a year, if you have 10,000 to spend with a 70k job then you probably live at home and don't pay for shit.

Man, if I'm paying $10,000 I might as well be a small time investor in the company. At least I can get returns on my investment rather than blowing cash on a bunch of pixels.

This seems like the kind of thing that just exists to pirate, like DOA 5's DLC, since it's on PC...why drop huge tons of cash when you can just torrent?

Anyone with this ship will just be a prime target for hacking and if they're dumb enough to buy it, their account password is probably password1.

>>377677775
No, that's literally a donation. You're handing them $10,000 with no strings or expectations attached. If you call up any start-up and say "Hey, I got $10,000 I want to invest" they'll negotiate with you on what they have to do to get that money and if you think the game will sell you could ask for a percentage of their earnings. Giving away $10,000 with no negotiation is fucking retarded, you should never spend that much without talking to someone.

My concern about this isn't the impact on the lives of the people who contribute this much, it's the thought that this can go two ways when (if) the game actually comes out;

1: These guys who contributed a shitload rule the roost. They have no challenge in the game and cannot be beaten by other regular players. Regular players stop playing because of the prevalence of these shitheads, and because how you play the game cannot influence how well you do compared to others. Only those who spent thousands continue to play. They are alone on empty servers, so they wasted their money and commit suicide.

2: These special ships don't give that much of an advantage. The contributors find that their $2,000 ship is about on par with a ship common to players who have been in the game for a month. All contributors commit suicide.

I got to know a really good mechanic from ireland
so I start open a high end car tune shop with him
thing went up and down for year
then the accountant somehow didnt do jack shit and didnt do tax paper
so IRS were all over our ass and we have to pay late fee and shit, and the shop didnt make enough money to cover for it at that time so I have to shekel it out of my pocket.

then this Jew guy with GTR show up and want to get a whole engine build and lot of work done
then he doesnt want to pay after it done cause some shit wasnt the way he want it.
it wasnt worth doing anything and we just bill it to uncollectible and kick his car out
he took the car to other shop and want us to tell them how we did the turbo and engine build set up
we didnt tell him shit and he proceed to blew up his car then he start suing us.
we fucked up since the beginning cause we didnt really do any paper works to protect us from all these BS cause we didnt know how to business
It wasnt one time too. I lost count how many time customers try to fuck us up
by the end I just sold the shop to some fag and get barely half of the money I invest in it

You are so full of shit it's incredible. A bachelor's degree in forensic science only prepares you for general work, a bottom bitch job. You need at least a Master's to do real work and most go on to get their doctorate and work under real forensic scientists for a while before becoming a full forensic scientist themselves. This isn't even including all the workshops, certification, and other on-the-job training you'd need to do to say you have the job you claim.

Best case scenario you're some paperwork bitch the real scientists use but most likely you're underage and have no sense of how money or reality works.

You'll be surprised.. But there's a lot of manchildren NEET-style men out there who are really smart, landed a good job in the Silicon Valley and live the fucking dream.

I know a few friends who make 100k a fucking year and spend it on bullshit stuff like animu figures, body pillows and a badass coputer rig. It's really possible.

And you also gotta consider the old-school Wing Commander fanbase is around 40 - 50+ year olds who are retired and have enough money to spend it on bullshit stuff such as this.
>>
>>377680350
Not him, but I will say that usually police officers can move up to forensic scientist after 4-5 years. Most officers tend to go on one of three paths after 4-5 years (though some take up to 10 years depending on performance). They either go detective, sergeant, or forensics based on their personal choices and education. A lot of forensics officers don't really need a master's as long as they have that experience on the force first hand.
But he's lying out of his ass if he thinks internship time counts towards that.

Cj and forensics major/minor and attained the experience while in school. You do not need a master's, just a bachelor's minimum. Yes, most people are hired with a master's but not when you intern with them and know the people already.

What fucking department put a non officer into forensics and how desperate were they? That is extremely rare for Minnesota departments.
Yes, we are unlike a lot of states in which we require an associates or a similar number of college credits even for our officers which makes it harder to get into, HOWEVER, almost all forensic jobs are people that move in there from a position on the force. Your department must have been super desperate to hire you straight out of college into forensics.

A lot of people will buy that, there are lots of youtubers and "artists" making silly amounts of money. There are furry artists putting out a couple of pictures a month that make 40-50k per month, there are youtubers with massive patreons that also bring in mass advertising money too. Money has almost no meaning to these people.

I don't earn the same money as I used to but when I was working I was making so much money I didn't know what you spend it on. It was all just mounting up in my bank and I had to put serious effort to think of shit to buy.

Also there are a lot of youtubers that will buy it in order to get views to show off a rare, they will make that money back pretty damn easy. One good video that make that much if it goes viral and gets a few mill views.

>>377682548
It's more likely that the company themselves will give the ship to certain youtubers for free to advertise the game.

Dude you're claiming to be fucking 22, which I doubt you even are. Assuming you've been telling the truth up til now you'd still be lying your ass off now. You're telling me that you're a fully certified forensic scientist who's qualified enough to be testifying in court by himself and that you've been through cross-examination "countless" times? All this while you're living in a goddamn fucking dorm room? Well shit, you must've finished getting all your certifications while you were doing that internship and then brushed up on criminal justice while you were at it.

Anon, you're the most fantastically accomplished forensic scientist I've ever fucking met in my life and that's the truth. It's a shame with all your intelligence and ambition that you don't seem to understand basic finances and live in student housing.

It's all about self control, which people do really need to self enforce.

For example, I'm a huge Star Wars dork and wanted to get that Disney Infinity Boba Fett figure but when it released it initially cost about $115-120 dollary doos which was waaayyyy out of my means, especially for such a small non articulated figure.

So I waited for it to lower in price, then Disney pulls out of vidya, and Infinity shuts down, now go to the local Walmart and they are selling those same Fett figures at $3 buck each. Go figure.

Anyone with a good memory and played video games in the 1990's realizes that WC V: Prophecy + The Wing Commander Film exposed him to be a hack fraud. People blame EA, but EA didn't start gutting Origin until Roberts was fucking up literally everything he touched.

Now he comes back with hat in hand (despite having producer credits on hollywood films) to make a game he will never release. It is thousands of autistic men and women funding a failed hack fraud's passing hobby.
>>
>>377682913
I mean I've SEEN countless cross examinations during my internships with a sheriff's office, fbi honors (not related but helped), and the current department. From watching it all the time you know what to expect.

I needed less than a year of extra certifications and a test lol.

Yeah, did community college in a year and a half, went to Hamline, and done.

And all this while in an apartment. I've never lived in a dorm and I don't see why anyone would.

Thanks anon, I'm proud too. xd
>>
>>377683052
Fucking bullshit.

Stop romancing rich people, most of them didn't "save up" to be rich.
>>
>>377683182
There is no reason for self control though, I've spent thousands on loot boxes for cosmetics in the past on mmos and never missed it.

You don't seem to get just how much disposable income a lot of people have these days. It's not even about being rich, it's just disposable income and a lot of people not having kids these days.

If you're still in CC just wait until you're at the 4 year and try again. Learn about the polygraph and if you do manage to get an interview, just be honest unless you're a shitty person

Anon you're full of shit, you're a 22 year old forensic scientist who went to fucking community college and live in student housing? And you use the fucking "xd" emoticon?

None of this shit adds up, where the fuck do you live? I'm genuinely curious what district hires people like you.
>>
>>377683395
Same guy, your post was driving me crazy so I called a friend. He said the youngest he's ever seen is a 26 year old. I really don't know where you are and how you got that job, but you're unqualified for it and you should be lucky you live in an ass-backwards place that would let someone as young as you handle important evidence like that.
>>
>>377684557
Yep, community college and transferred to Hamline where all my credits transferred. Why the fuck wouldn't you go to a CC if the classes carry over and it's way cheaper?

I'll just say Minnesota cause it'd be too easy for you to figure out who I am through google hehe xd

Because education is pretentious and that shit stands out on a resume. If you have a bachelors degree from fucking Hamline and half your credits come from community college you shouldn't be competitive for a forensics job out of college at all. Your education literally meets the bare minimum requirements, people get higher education because they need it to be competitive. You're telling me your dumb ass got a job right away, coming from the #313 ranked forensics program in the country after transferring from community college, and that you have all your certifications and everything? That shouldn't be possible.
>>377685029
You can normally tell someone is new when they're desperate to call others new when it's not related to anything.
>>
>>377684802
I wouldn't say unqualified. Too young? Maybe. I feel like it was actually a bonus being younger in a way, at least that's the vibe I got. I just needed the requirements.
>>
Man, what's with all these Star Citizen threads lately

It really looks like someone is desperate to share how much they hate it when nothing noteworthy has happened in a long time
>>
>>377685228
I don't understand why you're so upset lol. Hamline was my best option in MN for the given program unless you know of better value? Doesn't really matter now anyways.

Again, I did police explorers with them. They basically watched me grow up and it was such an easy in with my other internships. It's who you know and I'm sorry if that makes you so angry.
>>
>>377685228
If you weren't new you could tell that dude baited you by saying xd and WANTED YOU TO MENTION IT to show how stupid and new you are. Not related to anything? Why the fuck are you so mad? This isn't even video games.

Lots of small things happen over time.

The only reason SC gets so much shit is that they've had a very open and public development cycle, if SC was developed in any conventional published way we wouldn't hear about it until it was in production for at least 2-3 years, and it likely wouldn't be made because it doesn't fit in with publisher focus testing.

Meanwhile I am finally getting a game where I can run around on my ship with my friends while exploring the galaxy that doesn't look like it was developed in the 90s
>>
>>377685228
ALSO, do you really think they care if he had credits transferred over from a community college? No. If anything it shows that he was smart to take an easy chance to get a 4 year degree for half the price in the same amount of time.

>B-B-BUT HE TOOK AN ENGLISH CLASS AND ELECTIVES AT COMMUNITY COLLEGE INSTEAD OF AT THE 4 YEAR

I used to work at a country club and I would see these types of guys all the time. Very successful, lots of money but evidently no families and no women so these guys spend insane amounts of money on these lavish toys with their bros. Even the membership to the country club is inordinately expensive but that serves as a barrier from people who aren't like them. You can think of buying these sorts of things like a rite of passage to see who's worthy to be in certain circles.
