That's exactly what I said.

Sorry, I've been in a naughty mood today.

We wont know until release, of course, but I do find it striking that the only material we've been presented with so far was slow-motion combat. And it seemed very much intentional - afterall you'd figure that speed settings and scaling wouldn't be all that difficult to set properly, even in an early demo. Perhaps the game is balanced towards larger ships, and that is why combat is slower; who knows.

It's a question of faith, really, and I did have a lot of faith in Roberts, but with every piece of information we are presented with I'm starting to fear that this game will fall flat. Instances, consensual PVP, rumours of pay-to-win, the dude himself having a hard time limiting his aspirations and having a really poor track record in regards to properly finishing projects (and this time he doesn't even have a big publisher to kick him into gear), an extreme amount of gimmicks to make folks throw money at the project. And slow-mo fightin' footage

I sincerely hope not, at least, not with the same player base.

I quite like the Disco player base, even the dudes I disagree with and I know don't like me. We all bitch and moan all day long, but when it comes down to it we can all have fun in our little pixel ships together. I've flown with dudes I've combatted on the forum, and I've had a blast (maybe because they didn't know it was me), and altogether I find pretty much everyone here decent people.
