And when players and CIG mods disagreed with you, you started accusing everyone of racism? And then decided to start challenging people as to whether they believed Jesus was white, or something....
I'm not sure you can claim 'stalking' when you spam every SC post, news article and video with your tripe. It's us who cant escape you...
I mean - I might have the wrong 'blackdreamhunk3'.....

Would they push emergency sales, or try to sell an RSI Deathstar that is somehow more complete than the Jav /Odys / Idris.

It just needs a branch of the Endeavor to the effect of "Fine, I'll just build the perfect ship myself" with branches off to the CIG Careers page but also Space Engineers.

Phases of buying a capital ship in Star Citizen
Phase 1) The Beckoning
You want that ship, THAT ship. Yes, the shiny, beautiful warship. The frigate, the carrier, or the destroyer. Maybe even the corvette. The potential gameplay clouds your mind, the friends you have been playing with, the org you just joined, you tell yourself, "Hey I have an org ready to crew my ship!"
You ignore the fact that your org already has 20 of these capital ships split amongst 10 players. No matter. Next IAE, or Invictus, that sweet ship is going to be yours.
Phase 2) The Buying
IAE comes, and Aegis or Drake day hits. You have been waiting for this very day your entire life. The moment is here. You frantically refresh the page at 12 midnight. For Credit users, you have melted your entire useful pool of ships, with credits ready to buy a JPEG that will only give you a Hammerhead and a Vanguard Harbinger, maybe a bonus tonka. For warbond, you panic, but time is ample.
You click checkout, and then...
Success!
You jump in joy. You proceed to check your hangar on the website and gleefully notice the new ship attributed to it. You feel excitement. Hype. You tell all your buddies on Discord. "Grats!" They say. Today, its a day of bliss.
Phase 3) The Consuming
As a new owner of said capital ship, you find yourself scrolling through reddit and spectrum. You pour through every single post and comment about the ship. You watch Youtube videos, those Teller videos of the model. You show up every day on Invictus to tour the ship or admire the externals. You feel like a part of an exclusive club of captains.
For a whole month or three, the idea of captaining this spanking new capital warship fills your thoughts. On the bus, in the car, doesn't matter.
Phase 4) The Reality
Months have passed. Nothing new has been said that you did not already know from months ago. The forums for the ship are slow, dead. Occasionally someone posts something, you read it and be done with it. CIG talks about capital ships in an SCL episode, you join, with a sliver of hype or hope. Nope, "Capital ships are still a long way out because X and Y systems need to be done first"
You shake your head. Sigh. How many more years?
You have no use for the Hammerhead, the Vanguard Harbinger has grown boring. You just want your capital ship.
Phase 5) The Acceptance
You barely think about the capital ship by this phase. It exists in your hangar as a reminder at times of a hype once enjoyed, now lost through time. It will release...When it does. There is not much hype left in you, having pushed this capital ship to the deep recesses of your mind as you are reminded again that you will never get to see it for a long long long long time.
There is some anger, some level of hatred, towards CIG. How could they sell you a ship for thousands and not bother to deliver even a hangar version?
You can come to reddit, but excited backers will shoot you down immediately. "It will be done when it's done." "Its your fault for spending that money."
Doesn't matter, you choose the high path and decide to feel okay with this. I mean, that money isn't really THAT much since you had expendable income you were going to throw somewhere else anyway right?
Citcon comes, and CIG announces the concept sale of a spanking new capital ship.
"Haha" You laugh to yourself.
Looking at the new capital ship owners excitedly talking about their new purchase, you smile a little. They remind you of yourself, once like them, excited about their new cap ship acquisition. If only they knew, knew of the sadness, the devastation, then the apathy that followed. How you became a husk of your once energetic self.
Then you purchase the new concept capital ship.
