I would like to start off by saying I have a new found appreciation for the games Vehicle creation pipeline team. You are the backbone of this games ability to continue to develop itself. You are human, you make mistakes, but you also shoulder the largest burden. Because of the work you do, you fund the development of two games. Thank you for everything that you do. The community and I, might dunk on you for what seem to us to be obvious design errors from time to time. We might rage over this or that design choice regarding our "favorite ship". But at the end of the day, you have one of the most important roles to play. You keep the lights on for this project we all want to succeed. I'm not trying to minimize the herculean work that everyone else there is doing behind the scenes either. You are all important too. Without you, the game doesn't get made at all. I will likely go back to criticizing your creative choices and marketing decisions in future posts. I, like the rest of the rest of the community that posts on spectrum likes to squeek until we get the grease. But try to remember, despite how upset we get with you at times, it comes from a place of genuine love for the game your making, and the desire for it to be the best damn space game it can be. I'd like to leave a link to this incredibly well put together and thoughtful video I found. It was a good watch while trying to digest my feelings regarding the loss of AOC. These recent events have reminded me that nothing is a sure thing. I will continue to support this project I love so long as you continue to make it and stay true to your commitment to the players. In turn, I will temper my criticism in the future and try to keep it less sarcastic and more constructive. The people playing your game want you to succeed. Long live Star Citizen.
