I haven't seen that specific sign, but I've definitely seen heavy road damage and huge rocks in the middle of the road next to "falling rocks" signs. Super comforting to drive next to those cliffs IN MY CONVERTIBLE
As someone trapped on TERF island definitely ominous, disturbingly specific.
What even is the context of that? It doesn't even seem like Star Citizen fanfiction, just weird worldbuilding from some 4chan incel.
It is lifted directly from an official Star Citizen forum post some years back, both legendary and notorious, back when there was a lot more speculation about what Star Citizen would be (and a lot of it expected more than one star system).
So somebody fantasizing about EVE style player empires and also the idea that SC would be literal magic enabling them to do
things, then?bounty hunting
Yeah I remember a lot of weird "I want the official, central server continuity to allow Ark private server style shenanigans where you can permanently hold another player's character hostage if you feel like it. There's a big overlap between that and the weird fantasies about people who blow up their spaceship getting sentenced to work thousands of real time hours doing hard labor in space prison.
It really is amazing how strongly SC has managed to capitalize on the dumb guys who have bad ideas but lots of money demographic just by virtue of CIG being run by a bunch of dumb guys with bad ideas who promise that someday their beleaguered software engineers will get around to implementing them, once they're done procrastinating by doing literally anything other than touching those ideas with a ten foot pole.
