That's how long you have to wait for your Carrack after a 30k right now.

Yes, I have other ships to fly.
No, telling people to solely use smaller ships is not a solution.
No, this is not even remotely how we should be playing for the long, foreseeable future.

If people are salvaging their own ships just to get into salvaging gameplay or to make easy money, you need to offer more interesting and generally more available salvaging gameplay elsewhere.

It's not fun posted:

It's not just the respawn timers.

It's waiting to get to the train. It's waiting on the train. It's waiting to get to somewhere I can buy armor. It's waiting to get somewhere I can buy weapons and ammo. It's waiting to get somewhere I can buy personal utility items. It's waiting to get somewhere I can buy medical items. It's waiting to get somewhere I can buy sustenance items. It's waiting to get somewhere I can buy clothes. It's waiting to get somewhere I can buy ship and vehicle weapons. It's waiting to get somewhere I can buy ship and vehicle components. It's waiting to get somewhere I can rent a ship or vehicle. It's waiting to get somewhere I can buy a ship or vehicle. It's waiting to get to the cargo deck. It's waiting to get to somewhere I can summon my ship or vehicle. It's waiting to get to the hangar. It's waiting to get out of the hangar. It's waiting to fly to the garage to load my vehicle. It's waiting in quantum because the place I'm at doesn't let me do some, most, or any of the previous things. It's waiting to refuel. It's waiting to repair. It's waiting to rearm. It's waiting to get to somewhere I can log out. And it's waiting to do it all over again when there's a game-breaking bug, crash, 30k, pirate attack, or griefer.

I understand that there are some things that are gonna be a timesink. But not everything has to be. Why do I even have to go to a shop that's in the same system at all? I have a MobiGlass. Why isn't there a MobiShop app that lets me order from any shop in the same system (or at least planetary neighborhood)?

Waiting isn't fun. And after 11 years, I'm getting tired of waiting for someone at CIG to understand that.

What’s a 30k in this context?

i would actually play a game that was a piss-take on glitchy games but all the jank is done on purpose in the form of puzzles to solve

it's not a scam because why would someone who is already rich want even more money? that has never happened in this world, ever, people always stop seeking money when they have just enough to live a comfortable life

I’ve seen people using this argument for years but I’ve never seen any actual evidence that Crobbets was actually still rich. They just assume he was. Like no one in history has made a pile of money and then blown it all living an extravagant lifestyle.

I will admit Croberts is a genius con man if the endgame all along was to just string people along for decades until AI was advanced enough that they could just pay $10 million to have StarGPT rebuild everything from scratch. Imagine the tears and the hugging, handshaking, and backslapping at the release party ~10 years from now and the long emotional speeches about how "they said it couldn't be done!"

I asked one of the AI's on how to improve Star Citizen, and it just said rename it Star Fartizen. So yeah looks like the technologies getting close.

why is the game so broken but people defend it more than there own family posted:

its amazing the responses over this one little comment but some people still feel the need to be vicious from the get go, its baffling what can set some people off

quote:

Because despite being broken, it actually gives me the same joy that got me into gaming in the first place. No other games do. All of the games that I loved were destroyed by greed and incompetence, and there hasn't been anything to replace them until I got into Star Citizen.

I won't defend the bugs and the issues, but the project as a whole is something special. It may just be my last hope for what was once my favorite hobby.

quote:

Star Citizen is difficult to get into solo. It's a social game at its core, which is very rare in the modern landscape. If you try to play it as a single player experience and solely do basic missions and gameplay loops, I would agree with you. However, the social aspect of Star Citizen is something that no other modern game has to offer.

quote:

It's understandable that everyone is on edge due to the current state of the industry, but I've watched CIG survive much darker times than 3.18 and still not take the money and run or sell out to a publisher. There's always a chance of anything happening (and I always considered this when I backed for a crowdfunded project), but I'll bet on them before I bet on any other studio at this point.

quote:

any games have similar players when the game is considered early access, beta, alpha or so on. That they think any and all issues present in the game are fine because it is in early access, and anyone complaining about those issues are this that and the third. I noticed this the most when Halo Infinite multiplayer released early. Everyone assumed it was a beta. With the extreme desync, lack of content and other bugs, there were those few players who fought and argued as if their life depended on it that the game was a beta and it will be updated when the full game releases. Long story short, when the game did fully release, nothing was added, updated or changed about the MP.

But I think the majority of players who defend the game (me included) simply see lots of potential with the project or already have lots of fun with the project in its current state. I think a big part of it all is that we are basically watching the game grow like our own children, the opportunity to witness its every step toward being the best game it can be, its kind of like we helped build it.

But on both sides there are always going to be "extremes", just like everything else in the world.

Yeah unless you are John Carmack I don’t think being the developer of some quite popular pc games in the 90s is the path to being a billionaire or anything. I’m sure he did fine but nothing he couldn’t have blown quite easily.

Reminder to please record and report discriminatory comments on global chat posted:

Had to deal with comments like "all africans are inbred" as well as "all whites are inbred" and things like that for well over an hour and no one really seemed to care ended up logging off

Trying to be a SJW on a video game I see.

How about stop getting offended at every little thing that is easily hidden with F12?

Seriously people, quit being so soft. It's so easy to ignore.

I don't get it

quote:

Ya'll just yell out random, obvious SJW statements to get internet points from the reddit hive mind. "Racism Bad" no poo poo but go touch some grass and realize there will always be people wanting to troll and press "F12".

quote:

TBH i wont report anyone without having more context. If i saw someone writing this without any context i could simply ignore it, it was just a stupid statement. You don't want to know how many times the people spam stuff like "hitler" and "nazi" as soon as they see my german user name on USA servers.

Is it a stupid thing to say racist stuff in global chat? - Yes
Would i use such phrases myself? - No
Should these guys be banned for writing stupid stuff? - No, they are just acting childish.. stop being a Karen.

If someone would directly address someone with these statements to really offend/hurt that person it might be a different thing, because its more like attacking someone. But there is a small but significant difference between real racism/fascism and simply acting like a fool.

And even in a more severe case its never a good idea to exclude specific groups of people even if they are the "bad" ones in your oppinion. Excluding people will create real hate and real hate is way more dangerous than some douches writing/talking bullcrap.

I really appreciate the concept of "Freedom of Speech" but to really support it you have to accept that everyone should be allowed to speak up with his oppinion even if its absolute bs in your oppinion. In the end thats what makes our society so diverse and interesting.

TLDR - There is no black or white, blindly reporting people wont solve the problem.

I worry that reporting comments delays the game by wasting CIG staff time.

Every no-no word uttered is another 5 minutes someone's not working on the game.

didn't lord british have a kickstarter where you could buy a vial of his blood

Facebook Aunt posted:

I wonder if backers would like Dwarf Fortress? It's kinda everything they think SC is. A faithful expression of one man's two men's vision, supported by backers for 20 years and finished when it's finished. A unique gameplay experience you can't get anywhere else, which we know because multiple studios have tried to make "DF but not weird and incomprehensible". Buggy and none of your friends understand it.

For a technicality, the oculus rift founder was a dev on the popular 90's RPG series Neophyte when he was in highschool.

In my country this topic is highly political. I don't see what this has to do with star citizen? Aren't there better forums for these kind of posts?

I mean be who you are, thats fine.. You only live once so do whatever makes you feel good but there is no need to shove it down the throat on everyone else...
