Here he is right, spending money on that... thing is crazy.
ArcCorp reminds me of a Mass Effect 1 backdrop, 32 fps and literally nothing is happening

And don't forget that chat.... why is the ship voice so sexy, SC looks miles ahead of elite tbh, looks like your the only one flying in the city// needs more npc ships bustling about... while he flies around that dead backdrop of a city without anyhthing happening whatsoever.

Aaaand... CODE 20012 error ~10 minutes after I started watching that stream. Back into wackpod. That's some serious quality here.

e: lol, he has to wait >22 minutes to get his ship back

My favorite was this:

Not really. Let's say you start the game a year after everyone else. Everyone else has the good stuff already. If you want, you could grind your way up to their level. Or, you can shortcut it with cash.

Well yeah duh everyone knows you don't land on the pads because they instantly despawn your ship, eliminating all the things inside. Also you don't land near the pads because the same thing will happen. So basically any delivery mission on a planet is an automatic fail unless you bring a second person with you to keep the ship running.

Don't you understand it's an alphaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa oh wait this bug has been present for over a year

I love how if this was any other game such a suggestion would be met with outright hostility, but in cult land it’s just another helpful post

Alpha, friend.

Anytime you come up against the (seemingly infinite) glass walls of "can't do this yet" - just shriek 'alpha!' and carry on.

The only fully implemented feature CI has managed to push out is payment processing.

okay but circlejerking about how awesome something could be is just a gigantic waste of time after a point and SC passed that point about 6 years ago?

I love that it even looks like a boat. Truly the vision of a creative genius

Guaranteed that hangar is why they can't get it out the loving door- it would reveal their entire ship storage/spawning system is hacked in and can't translate

is it called the 890 because that's how much it actually costs in actual real world money

e; wait IT SERIOUSLY IS?

Yes this is one of Star Citizen's anti-fun features that I don't talk about much anymore. You have a heart rate. If you run, it'll go up. High heart rate is bad- it makes you consume oxygen real fast, and if it goes too high you will literally begin to take damage and die. It doesn't take much, either. Running in full armor and doing a couple of jumps will kill you within seconds.

This is obviously extremely fidelitous to the way that all real-world humans are minutes away from a full cardiac episode, and it's not at all a giant annoying rear end-pain to have to walk at half-speed everywhere or else strip all your clothes off. They definitely did not implement this because people running too fast made their game look real lovely.
