Poll: Buy capships now (as is)

I want to buy (and drive) capships now, as is, without warranty or guaranty.

[X] yes
[ ] no

[X] no

Let the devs manage their own game and marketing. Deliberately releasing things in a broken state was appropriate up until the end of beta testing.

[x] no

(Concurrence with Whistler. The devs know what they're doing better than you do.)
May 25, 2007 toshiro link
[X] No.

Agreement with both Whistler and roguelazer.
May 25, 2007 upper case link
[X] yes

it wouldn't be deliberately broken. just incomplete.
May 25, 2007 genka link
[x]no, but I'd like other people to, so that they see just how useless owning a rock with guns on it is and stop whining.

[X] No, stop being a ninny.
May 25, 2007 Impavid link
[x] no - Not to flame the devs or anything, but most stuff is released in a half broken state! we need less of it, not more!
May 25, 2007 MSKanaka link
[x] No. I'm in complete agreement with Toshiro, Whistler and Roguelazer.

Also, like yoda says, stop being a ninny.

[x] no cause there is really no point right now.
May 25, 2007 Ghost link
[X] No. The last thing we want is something else thrown in that doesn't work right. Let the devs fix what's wrong with the game as is before they start adding new things.

Believe me, I'm just as anxious as the rest. Been waiting 2 years to buy a capship. I know for a lot of people, it's even the reason they subscribed. But fact of the matter is, throwing more broken or incomplete things into the game is just going to make the current hole the devs are in even larger.

I'm with Ghost, believe me, I'm just as anxious as the rest. Been waiting 3+ years to kill a player owned capship.

[X] Hell no.
Piloting even a dev Trident (which, from my understanding, has better stats than the normal one) is worse than piloting a Behemoth XC with 200 Samoflange. Plus I don't even think you are able to enter them, and you spawn inside the station, making it impossible to move.
May 25, 2007 Ghost link
You wouldn't even be able to repair them properly, and would have no way of getting out of it to switch ships. So if you were to buy one, you'd be stuck with it until you died.

hmmm slime the dev tridents accelerate alot faster than than the behemoth XC full O samo

im pretty shure it is possible to dock cappies with little tricks :)
May 25, 2007 slime link
It accelerates faster, but turns slower. You can dock them with stations, but you can't dock your ship in a [dev] Trident. Also, when undocking you're stuck in the station and you can't move, as stated before.

I once witnessed a dev in a trident with gauss duel (i think is was AgY) they just don't last, I think a1k0n chickend out with the words "nah, I just can't fly this thing" or got dead, or some such, well, anyways, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[x]no

cappies are slow as hell and would be hard to control
May 25, 2007 jexkerome link
[x] NO

They are nowhere near ready for use. I do endorse, though, buying healthy doses of Patience(TM) for both upper case and TRS. Either that or tie their hands if they post this suggestion again.

[x] No. I'll bet if Cap-ships were ready for release in any way shape or form, they'd have been already.
