This is one of the best nerd rage posts I have ever seen! Battle Smurf BattleSmurf Posted: 9:17pm Oct 29, 2013 Apparently Ben just sent someone an email saying that the Scythe and Idris M would go back on sale before LTI cut off. This is total #%&*$# as they have repeatedly from day 1 stated that the scythe in particular would never go back on sale. I waited for 8 months on the waiting list and contacted concierge repeatedly and was always told the same thing 500 scythes only if someone melted I might get a chance to buy. Because of this I went and paid double the Price for my Scythe 600$ and NOW after getting MILLIONS upon MILLIONS past funded (they would hit 30 million easy by January without releasing the scythe/idris m) they come here and say its going back on sale for 300$? Its not about ME WANTING NO ONE ELSE TO HAVE THE SHIP. Its that I was TOLD REPEATEDLY for 8 Fracking months the only way I could get a scythe with insurance (not just lti but insurance period) was to get my hands on one of the original 500. This just cost me 300$ based on me TRUSTING CIG as a company. Talk about a #%&*$# cash grab! I could see if they needed more money to fund the game but THEY DO NOT. IF this happens CIG has officially gone back on its word on every single sale they have ever made to us and can no longer be trusted. If this happens I would like a full refund and I believe I deserve an apology. Yes I DO FEEL ENTITLED to this. I spent almost 2 grand on this game. I didn't #%&*$# when all the other "limited" ships that I had previously bought kept getting put back on sale repeatedly, but this is one thing I cannot tolerate. Hopefully the OP is trolling about his email from Ben Lesnick. Because I will be FURIOUS. link

I just read that lol. Pretty funny. The guy buys a black market ship at twice the price and then demands a refund.

I think I may start my own pirate corps. Membership requirements...spent less than 200 and desire to hunt down whales.

Less than 200 is still way more than any normal person should pay for a single video game... dont ask me how much I spent...

It's a shock when the Concierge button lights up for the first time  About the post by Battlesmurf, looks like he was well trolled Wing Commander was not my favourite game, I liked it a bit, but it was Erin Roberts' Privateer 2 that got me hooked and I'm glad to see him onboard for the SQ42 missions.

Sounds good. I've spent 40 bucks I think. I'd be in for these "whale hunt" type missions. I like that name too.

How about we call the pirate corps the Captain Ahabs?

So for every successful "whale hunt" the Captain Ahabs get, we can paint a black whale symbol on our ships. If we take down somebody $1000+ we paint a white whale symbol.

P.S., I made it $200 so my crazy lance mate Mojo could join with his freelancer.

pfft. They have said time and time again that these first ships are only going to be a small part of the full game ships and they will continue to add more and more down the road. So I dont feel so bad buying a few extra for myself...
