Appologies SeamanStaines, my post wasn't entirely aimed at you. I'm just getting really fed up of seeing all these anti-drm posts everywhere. People don't like it, fine, we get it already, move on!

That'll be less than one percent of the people who purchased the game then. Ubisoft's whole disastrous approach to this game was based on pleasing the casual gamer, not appealing to the tiny percentage of their end users who understand modding.

Just because either Dan, Mihai, or both are feeding you scraps of information, don't post here as if you have any knowledge of how this game will develop.

Ubisoft corporate makes that decision, not the Devs.

I believe that the Devs would have chosen to do a lot of things differently regarding this game, (I have that on very, very, very good authority :)) but they are not funding it, the Publisher is.

How many patches are offered will to some degree depend on how sales are going. A small patch team costs money, and if your game is not selling, patching it some more is not going to sell it more.

Time will tell with this game. Let's see where we are at the end of the year.

:o I go to work leaving a thread about patch delays.

Come back and there's a rehash of the nutty World Trade Center conspiracy (which IMO is an insult to every person who died in that atrocity BTW)

Talk of the DRM (get's shoe horned into nearly every thread - so no suprises there).

Why's the patch delayed?

Alright, I was nice and calm and respectful, but now, now you ****ing Brit you went way the **** over the line.

For all the "facts" that you can site that September 11th was an inside job there are equal if not more fact (notice no quotations) that it was not. Thousands and I do mean thousands of demolition experts have been here since and looked over the area and found no trace of explosive. None at all.

But that is beside the point because you, you ****ing Brit (Not aimed at all Brits, most of you are wonderful people and good friends) all you did was prove my point that I made in my post. Your a ****ing nut, a wack job, that unfortunately we can not control by means that people "deem" inhuman.

You have just spit in the face of every single person that lost someone then. No I live in Texas, so it was "a long way away" but that doesn't matter to me. Every American, is a part of my family.

Mods I politely suggest that you lock this thread since the ****ing Brit decided to completely derail the entire conversation.

I'm with you on this- It's dam sad - I went away for a day and now we got, Evolution, the World Trade Centre and the US govenment ganging up on Goldman Sachs or whatever their name is and now I discover the Israelis got together with George Bush to destroy the World Trade Centre -
I know trhe moderators want to defend the rights of folks to post, and I suppose we all have to defend the rights of people to say what they will but cant you guys have some respect and stay on topic - if you want to talk about that other stuff go find a forum where they care

You shouldn't have gone to work :O:
That way you could have "policed" it.
Seriously, like you said, no surprises.
The days of actually addressing a thread title are far and few between. Or it soon turns into a thread within a thread.

The patch is taking so long because UBI has not even begun to start making it. They've got your money already, so why would they rush to give you something for free? - even though it's desperately needed to fix this broken heap of trash they want to call a game.

Well since it's alread went soooo way off topic anyway, I'll show what I been doing while waiting.
Getting some much missed sunshine, and flying my newest birds taking advantage of a break in our Seattle rains, and a break from SH.

Gorgeous planes :DL

What fuel do they run on and how long can they stay aloft for/how much fuel do they carry? What range from the Remote controller do they have and what happens if you go beyond that range?

Hey now that looks like fun.

Tell me Sabre did those come pre built or did you have to assemble them? Either way I bet those things are a blast!

In spite of the fact that this forum is not on my official beat I will make two requests since I happen to be here...

1) Let's get it back on topic please. If you have nothing to say on the topic, then say ... wait for it... nothing.

2) Please watch the language. Using asterisks or other clever ways of getting around the forum rules about swearing is not getting around them at all. It is a violation the same the same as if you didn't use them. I realize that some topics elicit a lot of passion but this is not the place for it. If you need to thrash OT things out out, take them to "General Topics"

Count yourselves lucky I got here before Tak, Webster or McBeck did. I'm just snarky and sarcastic. They are downright mean!

JCC

They are all electric fellers, and yes they are a blast.
They are what we call ARF's (almost ready to fly) and are pretty much pre-built though they do require final assembly and one should have some building skills to complete that final assembly. And one also must install the elctronics and motor linkages and then all the adustments and such.

As for range, thats much further than you can see so no worries there.
Flight times range between 10-15min. depending on battery used, the maneuvers flown.
Sunday was a very great day here in Seattle, and you can bet we R/C flyers ate it up. We dont waste a good sunny day at the computer here.:cool:

Ok, back to sea.:O:
I pride myself as being a very patient man, and was taught this by my father growing up. He was the one who started me out building models and that also taught me patience.
And as JC said, patience is IMO one of the greatest traits a sub captain needs and should have. My feeling is they are just making damn sure it fixes as many things possible, that it works, and most important that it doesn't introduce any more bugs. And this will require exstensive testing, and that takes time. Especially if in that testing more bugs are found.
And it's my hope that they may even be giving us something we dont expect.

Really,really nice planes matey :up:

Thanks Robbo, and the others too you are all good mates at the end of the day.

And sorry JC, I just though something pretty might cool things a might.
But if the guys really do like them I'll post more down in general topics.
Havent been down there at all much anyway.:salute:

The irony here is that the only people who can accurately answer the question posed by the OP work for Ubisoft.

Dan or Mihai may have hinted to some via PM or e-mail, but that info would not be for public consumption.

The thread is therefore redundant and invites speculation and off topic posts.

I think JC was the fourth gunman on the grassy knoll. :)
