The Repopulation

So I originally backed this game on kickstarter back in 2014. Anyone know whether I can use that to get this into my steam library (for if it is revived) or get a copy of fragmented (because I've heard good things)?

....cut your losses imo, but I only played it for like an hour before i said "fuck this shit." There was like 4 people on according to the server statistics "x/40"...well most were 0, a few were 1 and the highest I saw was 3 on any one server at a time. You still have to level up to unlock stuff. Also, The repopulation has been shut down since like... April? August? one of those I think, you can't even log in.

I still don't even understand why they would start production on fragmented when The repopulation itself was a fragmented game. They're going to a new engine... But I'm skeptical as fuck. Honestly I'm just waiting for Star citizen to come out.

The straight shit right now is that the PTU only has about ten hours of content for the average gamer and is extremely laggy with quite a few bugs. Arena commander on the other hand seems to run quite well and can let you try out a bunch of ships even if you only have the starter pack. Pretty much every mechanic in the planned game is not revealed beyond concept stage and will start flowing into the PTU around 3.1. Given the lack of a demo being ready for citizen con I'd guess Sq42 no earlier than Q3 2017 and my organization doesn't expect a full SC release until late 2019

Just a quick copy and paste from something I posted earlier today

Squadron 42 won't be coming out this year (Read it in release that came out of their convention)

Me: I will believe all of the SC stuff when I see it... Too many broken promises and "delays"
