Here's the actual document containing the Judge's Order. ORDER RE DISMISSAL OF ACTION 126 by Judge Dolly M. Gee. Lastly CryTek is requesting that the Judge release the $500k bond STIPULATION for Disbursement of Funds to Crytek Releasing Funds in Lieu of Surety Bond filed by Plaintiff Crytek GmbH. Attachment #1 (guess their lawyers want to make sure that CryTek is going to pay their bills first and not run away with what little cash their company has left) EDIT: Order by the Judge ORDER RE SURETY FUNDS by Judge Dolly M. Gee: Upon Stipulation128 , IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the $500,000.00 deposited by Plaintiff Crytek GmbH with the Clerk in lieu of a surety bond on 8/19/201985 shall be remitted and made payable to its counsel of record, Erise IP, P.A., Attn. Eric Buresh. (gk)

I couldn't get the PDF of the Order just yet (as I don't want to buy it on Pacer) but here's the text version of the Order from the Judge as listed on PacerMonitor ORDER RE DISMISSAL OF ACTION126 by Judge Dolly M. Gee. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: (1) The above-captioned action is dismissed with prejudice. (2) The parties are to bear their own respective attorneys' fees and costs. (lom)

Usually the terms of an out-of-court settlement are under strict NDA so it is unlikely that we will ever see the specifics of the settlement agreement. All we know is that the case is going to be dismissed with prejudice (so can't be brought up ever again) and each side agreed to pay their own legal fees.

It's finally over! JOINT STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL Att. #1 [PROPOSED] ORDER So while the parties have agreed to a settlement where each party will pay for their own legal fees the matter will be dismissed WITH prejudice. So at least CryTek will NOT be able to bring any of their ridiculous claims to Court again. I just find it a shame that CIG had to waste a lot of money on legal fees just to defend themselves against this frivolous 'kitchen sink' lawsuit from CryTek. At least it's finally over and we can all move on.

It's actually $600 for the stock version now although certain Warbond versions do put it at lower prices during this temporary sale. It increased to $500 back during the Anniversary Expo in November and it now has a flightready sale because it has been released. It has not really grown much compared to the concept dimensions but it is a pretty impressive ship if I do say so myself.

Yeah, that image is on the 890Jump page in the pledge store. Maybe they are planning an 890Jump Exploration variant with science labs instead of VIP suites or something? Like the 600i also has a touring version and an exploration version?

Nice! They apparently re-edited the trailer with the updated/finalized model (and Expedition skin).

That's exactly what you'll get. The Extra $25 gets you a white skin for the Carrack as well as a hat, shirt, and plushie. $45 gets you a white skin for the Carrack and the C8X Pisces as well as a hat, shirt, and plushie. Also, while it wasn't listed specifically the people who already own a Carrack and just want the CCU will also get that hat, shirt, and plushie. It caused a bit of a stir when only the standalone packs made mention of the goodies. But apparently the goodies are linked to the 'Expedition' part.

UEE Exploration 2948 Packs will be removed VERY soon! (REMOVED NOW) EDIT: I thought it would be on friday but the 2948 packs have already been replaced by the 2950 versions today. Quite a price difference too. $1000 UEE 2950 Exploration (Warbond): https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Packages/UEE-Exploration-2950-Warbond $1100 UEE 2950 Exploration (Store Credit): https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Packages/UEE-Exploration-2950 $1525 UEE 2950 Megapack (Warbond): https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Packages/Exploration-Megapack-2950-Warbond $1700 UEE 2950 Megapack (Store Credit): https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Packages/Exploration-Megapack-2950 Ah well, I hope that everyone who wanted one got theirs when the price was still low. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/1/thread/anvil-carrack-the-gibbening/194036 "Both the 2948 UEE Exploration Pack and 2948 Exploration Megapack will be updated to 2950 versions once the Carrack releases. If you were interested in obtaining one of these packs before they go up in price, you have a little bit of time left." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thought I'd give you guys a quick heads-up just in case you were still contemplating on getting one of these Exploration packs at some point as CIG has now stated that they will be removed and replaced by a more expensive 2950 version in the next few days. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Packages/UEE-Exploration-2948-Pack https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Packages/Exploration-Megapack-2948 These are Chairman's Club packages meant for Concierge level backers but the $695 UEE Exploration 2948 Pack becomes visible at $750 pledged and can be purchased with Store Credit. So for those of you who were still on the fence (or close to that $750 marker) now is basically the last time to get a Carrack in a very lucrative pack before it gets replaced by a (more expensive) 2950 version.

I didn't make this picture but just wanted to share

While I was also hoping for CIG to smash CryTek to pieces openly and publicly for all to see it appears that settling is a very common thing; even if the defendant is holding all the cards. When that Amazon email was found during Discovery that was likely when CryTek knew they had nothing left. What annoys me though is that after Avni Yerli (CryTek) received that email from Amazon he went on for another 9-10 months wasting everyone's time pretending he still had a case. In retrospect that email was probably also the reason why Skadden suddenly walked out on CryTek a week later. According to a paper from the American Judges Association, as many as 97 percent of civil cases that are filed are resolved other than by a trial. While some of these cases are dismissed or are resolved through other means, the vast majority of the cases settle. At any rate, next month this should all be over and everyone can get back to what they were doing. With CryTek probably filing for bankruptcy and with CIG still making the Best Damn Space Game Ever.

The Judge has responded https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6256484/124/crytek-gmbh-v-cloud-imperium-games-corp/

CryTek and CIG have apparently reached an agreement in principle of terms to settle this action in its entirety and are working to document the terms of their agreement. They now request the Court to give them 30 days to execute and document their agreement.

Who knows At any rate I like how they took the original concept design and combined it with the larger round thrusters. Also feels like the thrusters are positioned properly now with all that center of mass to thrust stuff that they always talked about. The old diagonal layout made it look like the ship would nosedive when firing the thrusters.

New engine layout shown during ISC today. I think it looks good; at least the thrusters now look more proportial in size compared to the size of the ship in my opinion. The ones shown during Citizencon looked too small for some reason; like someone slapped fighter thrusters on a corvette. I think the horizontal layout is also much better than the wierd diagonal split layout of the Citizencon version where the housing around the thrusters also had a wierd shape that didn't line up with the rest of the rear. Not sure how to describe it properly but the whole thruster arrangement on the Citizencon version felt rather tacked on and messy while this new version feels much cleaner and orderly. Getting a little bit of Star Destroyer feel from this new version.
