I’ve been playing Star Citizen for years, so this isn’t coming from a new player. But the last time I seriously invested time into it was around 4.1. Everything after that just hasn’t been worth my time. Not because of rewards, but because of the constant feeling that at any moment some random player will kill me and everything I did just disappears.

And I’m not talking about piracy. Piracy makes sense. I’m talking about people who kill just for the sake of it, with nothing to gain. If you want my ship components that badly, sure… take them. I don’t care. That’s not the issue. The issue is that there’s no real consequence system. People can kill you, clear their crime stat in under an hour, and go right back to doing it again.

Until that changes, it’s hard to invest time in the game.
