To add to the 'numbers' issues, I see little reason to consider any Roberts/CIG data to be reliable on their face. External verification of some sort required. Talking to folks who worked with Roberts in the past will lead you to those sorts of conclusions.
That's a totally unrealistic standard, which is probably why you brought it up.
Well, maybe the 100.000+ backers that joined SC since the Alpha is available do not consider themselves part of that "Most of us" claim ?
Maybe that is the source of Chris Roberts "delusions" ? Another 100k extra players must have warped his personal perception of the situation.
When do you consider the "Alpha" launched? Until 2.0 released, there wasnt anything resembling an alpha. 2.0 released Dec 12th and your spreadsheet shows about 840k backers while today it shows 906k backers. I dont know what math you are using but that is only 60k and nothing near the 100k you said they have.
That number is not backers, just the number of people that have made an account on the website.
This number that is on 906k+ at the moment is sold ship hulls, confirmed by lando I just don' t know how or if it's handling melting ships.
Ah sorry, yes it handles melted ships, you can see it drop when there is a large ship sale (as people melt smaller ships to purchase one large one)
"Espera Prowler – Named after the UPE
military designation, the Prowler is a modernized version of the
infamous Tevarin boarding craft from the First Tevarin War. With the
recent discovery of the lost Tevarin planet in Kabal System, Espera’s
engineers were given unmitigated access to examine the preserved ships
found in several of the caches, before meticulously recreating the
design choices. The Prowler’s effectiveness as a rapid personnel
deployment vehicle was mainly due to its silence. The boarding was
constructed using a variety of techniques to minimize its signatures and
get close to unsuspecting vessels before quickly deploying their
boarders via EVA. With the updated Prowler
model, you will find the perfect fusion of two culture: the elegance and
effectiveness of the Tevarin war machine combined with the reliability
of modern UEE technology. (While lacking some
of the upgrades of the modern version, vintage Tevarin-built Prowlers
restored for modern spaceflight are prized by owners lucky enough to
locate them.)"

Yep ... lets talk about ships .. after all this is a thread about ships:
Well, maybe the 68.098 bought ships and their owners that joined SC since the Alpha has been introduced do not consider themselves part of that "Most of us" claim ?
Maybe
that is the source of Chris Roberts "delusions" ? Another 68k extra ships must have warped his personal perception of the situation.
To anyone that has contacted the owners of those 68.098 ships to confirm that they are amongst the "Most of us" crowd - hat off for accomplishing such a monumental task. Especially as they had no contact data in the first place.

If they viewed it as advertising they'd act on it as being so would they not?
I don't see it that way, just looks like information on various ships, their designs as well as developmental status. Nothing in the TOS I see against that. Although I wonder what it says about following a poster into every thread they're in accusing them of being paid, a shill or what have you, I wonder if that would be harassment or trolling when done enough?

Cautious, not unrealistic. Roberts is not reliable.
Though if you are a die hard believer in the game, you should continue to buy these ships. Otherwise the production will start to founder under the weight of it's bad management.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
