All of these that they have made are so effortless and lazy. They are like when a goon takes the lyrics from a song, changes a few words, and posts it as a parody.

It was supposed to originally have a panoramic cockpit that looked opaque from the outside, but since CryEngine can't manage it for technical reasons, CIG turned it into the POS it is now.

This seems to be a common theme with Star Citizen.

There is a cheap way to test wether you're going to like Elite Dangerous (at least the combat). Buy Elite Dangerous - Arena (7 $ or something), keep in mind it's quite fast paced compared to the main game. Bonus point for Frontier: If you already own ED - Arena - the main game gets a fitting discount.

they at least have a very stable, functional foundation to build on. CIG can't introduce even minor edits without a swathe of the bizarrest of absolutely hosed glitches

Depending of how fun E:D onbaord ship bay and multi-crew get implemented you might be able to play exactly that. A Carrier Anaconda or Federal Corvette loaded with turrets suporting a wing of 3 Imperial Eagles or Courriers could be really interesting. Only having to fit a E class FSD on fighters (or maybe even none) could open a lot of interesting builds.

i love that CIG's had such obscenely crazy pricing for years that $100-$125 for essentially a dlc vehicle seems like a reasonable price to pay. like, do these people know you can buy multiple full games worth of wonderful, vacuous, sheer escapism for that amount of money?!

Look at the times the screen goes red due to -supposedly- high G-forces. Then check the times when he's doing tight turns and changes of direction at high speed. They don't match at all, lol

Don't you think that truck ship with the letterbox view would be greatly improved by also having the same glare as the new ship? Glare in space is a big problem and the immersion is very real in this case. Please use your powers to have CIG do this change for us, as usual.
