Ok, quick question: Once you leave the port can you draw your pistol? Can I hide on their retaliator until they warp someplace then shoot them in the head?

I've been doing the whole: ride up into their ship with them, sprint to the controls, crash it into another parked ship, rinse/repeat. I'd like a change of pace.

Dunno never tried it. I just kept doing what you did.

Yes you can, though you cannot kill them while they're in the pilot's seat. So you have to wait for them to get out of it.

That's not immersive enough. Besides, attempted grief deserves the death penalty. And then you could sell sleep gas instead, and more convenient torture modules.

Yes. The last time I tried it nobody spawned a Constellation and I couldn't get out of my ship, but I have hope.

What other weapons are there, grenades/C4?

The word cult is deliberately chosen to sensationalize.

Example of a cult: Apocalyptic cults: They believe that the apocalypse will happen on a certain date despite having absolutely no evidence. Everything hinges on sheer faith.

Star Citizen backers: As a community, the morale tends to shift up and down depending on development updates, which serve as evidence of progress being made. Morale was low in summer of 2015, and is currently at a huge high due to Alpha 2.0. On the whole, there is plenty of evidence that this game will be fully developed at a high fidelity level. The question of release is a moot point.

Cults care about dates, we dont

In theory: They walk back / suicide and get back to the terminal, respawn their ship. The ship you are in disappears and you end up on the platform without a ship.

In reality: You crash / clip through the floor / die and respawn in a contorted position / the server crashes.

Right now the way things work is after spawning, the ship is locked to that user until the user enters the seat (or 8? minutes, something like that). Once that pilot leaves the seat, the ship is no longer owned or locked. So if you sat in the ship and AFK'd, you'd be in the ship.

The original pilot could just take someone else's ship or spawn a new one. As far as the server is confirmed, the original ship is 'yours' until you disconnect or more likely, crash.

Derek Smart sued Star Citizen. This is what we call "The Beginning". In court, the High Justicar found that for Derek Smart to be able to sue something, it must exist. The High Justicar ordered Star Citizen to start existing immediately. This is why we call Derek Smart "The Creatrix", my son.

Also Derek Smart and Lowtax are working on a thing to get more money to invest in Star Citizen so it can exist. I heard they'll announce something in two weeks.

I've been doing the whole: ride up into their ship with them, sprint to the controls, crash it into another parked ship, rinse/repeat. I'd like a change of pace.

It's ctrl + f to leave your seat, pistol is 1, rifle is 2 or something but doesn't work at the main place. You can go to the security zone, grab a rifle and go back but anyone sitting in a seat seems to be immune to gunfire. Played for a while didn't crash once, but still very buggy.

Bugs experienced, parked my mustang above a constellation, clipped into the constellation trying to EVA in from the top, thought that's great I'm inside, I can maybe shoot someone. Got flung thousands of km away for no reason, in the middle of weapons floating in space and two deformed guys with no space helmets on.

Flew to the security place with my lovely mustang, grabbed a gun some guy shot my ship, grabbed a worse aurora to fly back to main place. Boarded a guys cutlass after it spawned, went in the turret, waited for 5 minutes while his mate tried to work out why he couldn't get into the turret, pilot took off to a comm tower mission thing, came out of the turret tried to head shot his mate but he was sitting in a crappy chair and it didn't hurt him. Pilot was fighting someone, opened back door and fell out, flew to the comm station entrance but didn't do the mission. Two guys in the cutlass came close to the entrance and parked but before they got out to do the mission (and maybe get shot by some dick with a rifle), some dick came along and blew them up and buggered off.

Flew out but suddenly found I had no space helmet and no suit jets so couldn't do anything.

Lot of similar stuff, someone respawns a ship you've stolen and your stuck in space, people killing each other and being arseholes all over the place, no wonder Citizens upset.
