I guess? It's mostly that it was memed on.
People can buy thousand-dollar ships, if they want. But you can also get them in game, so it's a bit of a weird complaint. It's functionally a donation. Still, people used that for a long while to say the game was the devil.

Also there was a video game thread as is it. I mean is this a general? Because this game isn't really being discussed in detail or a hot topic of anykind or anything. And its not like the thread is a throw back. Just a thought. Not that, that is against the rules. Just a nit pick. Eh whatever.

I'd describe it more like Fallout 4, myself.
Buggy, missing many features, but in a niche with so little other alternatives it's going to be doubtless something that takes a large chunk of hours from me.

Probably wouldn't recommend it. But, if it's your style of game, it's not somethign you'll find anywhere else.
First person ship flying is rare. Elite Dangerous is one of the only others I can think of. And that doesn't let you leave the ship, let alone do all of the other things. And is rather limited in what you can do, besides.

Fair enough. I'm also just a little tired of this weird generic futuristic, sci-fi, but we're also scrappy and act like road warrior in space meets space farmers asthetic. See apex, that game they called a walking simulator, and that other game that they hyped about having the scaling of real space.. and then the planets didn't have shit on them.

Also I'm getting tired of mediocre and generic game play. It feels like a lot of designers have forgotten that gameplay is the most important aspect of your game. (Unless it's a visual novel of some sort.)

I'm also just tired of hype for shit quality games. That that piece of shit shooter I bought for like 15 bucks where they made a big deal that you could blow up walls.

Bad company had the same concept but did it 2000x better

Reasonable enough. All I care about, personally, is the ability to walk around in first person in the ship I bought after kicking tires at the dealership, with my hard-earned money from mining/salvaging/trading.

So far, Star Citizen's 'gameplay' has impressed me over Elite, but that's not a high bar.
it's janky as fuck, though. And the jobs are fairly basic. But it's enough. I'm mostly there to become a part of the world, so to speak. To build my own story.
it's why first thing I did was dress up. Get some threads that reflect the character I'm going with.

> sci-fi, but we're also scrappy and act like road warrior in space meets space farmers asthetic[b][/b]

I'm the reverse. To each their own, I suppose, but I always despised the sleek curved Star Trek esque design of clean futures without any grease or oil stains on your engineers.

I prefer Traveler's setting overall. Multiple planets means people get a lot more options for scapegoating, power, politics, and the works. No reason to think just because we're in the stars dragging meteors to planets, things'll be sunshine and roses. And no matter what you do, rules of mass are rules of mass. Curves look nice, but they don't necessarily do anything.

It's why I like designs like the RAFT. Industrial. Working. Feels like something I'd see at the shipyards. Not some fancy curved shuttle designed to be flown in an airshow or displayed on a runway.

Though, to be fair, you can get that too. The Origin 100i series are much more that style. And Crusader's overall design is much 'cleaner', if you prefer, too.

I'm not saying that it has to be sleek and pretty and neat. Too much of that can be overwhelming as well. It's not like I hate futuristic road-warrior shit either. It's just been over saturated and feels lazy. It's like the thing with steampunk.

God I fucking hate steam punk and fans of steam punk.

Long term? Get myself a Caterpillar.
But that'll take a pretty penny.
In the mean time, I need to just earn about 2~m to buy my first real ship.
I'll either buy a RAFT or a Vulture most likely to start with. Maybe a Buccaneer if I'm feeling more combat-inclined.

Just finished flying tailgunner for this behemoth.
Was a blast. At first, we shreaded through most things, but man when you get some of the real hard missions, it becomes quite a terror. Enemies at all angles.
First time in ages I got motion sick.
Things ended when we came face to face with an Idris. It's a full-blown frigate, so no true shock there. Granted, "only" a frigate, but still, that's a capital grade ship. Even as big as our Hammerhead is, she's no capital. She's a gunboat at best.

>>1060
I got it from probably the most dramatic events I've done yet. Pirates apparently boarded and gutted some luxury yacht.
Had to shoot down a bunch, and try to rescue the survivors.
There weren't actually anyone left, at the end. Such is life. But, at least I was able to finish out the mission, still, with a heafty payout. And more than that, I got some damn fine outfits.

Gunfights in SC are pretty jank still, sadly. But I kind of play for more the "RP" of it anyhow. So for me, it still worked. Space combat is a bit cleaner, by far.
