Sometimes I see an awesome ship and fantasize on how me and my friends would crew that ship and explore the verse, just like in CiG's cinematic videos. Sometimes I fantasize on how I could show my friends on how the ship has drones and a repair station, and also a medbay and X amount of SCU cargospace, and a shuttlecraft.... The dream. I love it. The whole thing. The scope. The ships. The planets. The interiors. The landing zones. The space stations... Man its more than a dream. Its a dream come true. So I indulge myself more and more in the content CiG creates. I watch endless youtube videos and explore the starmap. I see planets sure to come soon, systems currently being built, and make sure that I have everything me and my friends need to go on epic space adventures. And then CiG releases a paint that they say is "exclusive" and "limited edition", but only if you buy that ship. So I hold my nose, open my wallet, and jump. I'm extatic. I love the ship! I love the paint! I feel thankful to CiG and proudly sail my new spaceyacht through the stars. When my friends get around to playing I can show it and say "the community voted this ship as Best in Show so I got this exclusive limited edition paint". This was years ago. I would like to thank all of you for the learned lessons and many hours in the verse. I personally loved being part of the community and loved being a backer at a certain time in development which I thought resulted in receiving unique rewards. Sadly its clear that those times are gone and I was a bit of an idiot for believing CiG. :slightly_smiling_face: Best wishes to all of you and to CiG. o7 Image by @Irmdall
