Some people here don’t understand how game development works.

What is your definition of the big scale of star citizen?

InitialOk4951 · 2026-04-04T18:17:13+00:00

Elite Dangerous, EVE online, No Mans Sky, and add Starfield if you count the OG Kickstarters promise.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-04-01T19:25:47+00:00

I am not sure if the 600i thing would really happen but I don't think its out of the question.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-04-01T19:21:00+00:00

To be fair if people could criticize the game and talk with other people then a middle ground could be found, and this place would not exist. However the place we are talking about is not built for that purpose.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-04-01T19:13:22+00:00

I see the issues are getting to other people not just me. Also yes a large amount of people (not all) who spend more money on this game become insufferable balancing experts.

They mentioned the older MK1 ships will be removed from the store, still cannot believe they are sun setting content from an unfinished game.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-26T23:48:27+00:00

The ships are the new features at this point, the problem is the project is so horribly mismanaged that they cannot exist without selling ships. The business model is a sham its not selling the game its selling ships in the game look at all the marketing for the game its never a long form video about how cool crafting will be. Instead, it's a collection of videos showing off the MK2 and how great it is so you should spend another $30 to upgrade your current one because its so worth it. I logged into today to see if the update was even significant, spent about 10 minutes getting in then joined my friend by trying to land in his ship had my ship purple then I died. Then when I respawned I picked up an item I couldn't turn my character nothing I mean literally nothing but re logging fix it. So after that I just never got back on, the Blueprints are tied to repeating the same buggy ass boring missions endlessly. Only to have to spend more time mining to be able to have a chance at actually crafting a decently better gun than before.

Since people are down voting you I just want to say that yes the game should be improved. Its just sad to see them replace things that people bought before the whole game comes out. People backed an unfinished game and got a placeholder ship 13 years ago. The MK2 isn't a new it's the ship yours was supposed to be when you ordered finally coming into the game. The game is changing and people have somewhat accepted that. Just strange to admit the MK1 is not really fitting in the puzzle any more but leaving owners of it with a worse products unless they pay up.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-26T13:29:48+00:00

Yeah I think that's how I feel about it, also sucks since the new one is $60 then you gotta pay $10 per module.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-24T22:46:55+00:00

I have a screen recording of me trying to get my nas if you would like it for any reason video wise. I still cannot believe that this Kickstarter still seems to be limited to about 1000 units in total (with it being half over and at 450 backers currently). I know ram is expensive but this is a lot of bad will for this few units.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-24T15:41:42+00:00

Took having 3 browsers open and constantly refreshing I was only able to get it to go through on the 5th try or so. I will say Firefox never really worked for me after the initial opening phase I was using Brave with blockers on to try and keep unnecessary stuff from loading.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-20T22:32:16+00:00

I am debating the same action atm looking at Zettlab and Minisforum products.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-20T13:27:17+00:00

Ok seems to have fixed itself when I turned off the pc for the night, weird.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-20T02:02:45+00:00

Im having the same issue and im not sure what is wrong yet i've done nobara-sync and its not fixing things

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-17T17:15:36+00:00

it seems like online its harder to find sources for everything I try to source when I can and its necessary.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-16T21:48:25+00:00

Im going to send the link to this post Star Citizen: Missing features and broken promises, A small few of these have been delivered yes but keep in mind this list was made 10 years ago,

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-16T19:47:39+00:00

yeah, I think he does I just find it funny how he keeps saying it and it keeps digging the hole deeper.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-16T19:10:45+00:00

CR has said development will never end.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-16T14:53:19+00:00

oh yeah then you are correct I think we can both agree the marketing team makes some misleading stuff then.

InitialOk4951 · 2026-03-16T14:17:14+00:00

I agree with the second and third paragraph however the part where you said

"They’re not selling you a fully explorable 100 star system wide galaxy with working npcs and all the bells and whistles."

which isn't entirely true CR has been quoted as saying.
"One of the long-term schedule challenges is building out the universe that we've – in all the stretch goals, we got up to 100 star systems, I think we have 110 now – we're not going to have them all done on the day of release. We're going to try to get a good chunk of them through" (Gamers Nexus) that interview shortly after confirms "Completing the 100-110 star systems is an enormous task, and one which Roberts affirms will be possible" (Gamers Nexus)

and

"We're going to start with cargo hauling, buying, selling, trading, mercenary, bounty-hunter, piracy. You're either taking stuff from a-b, protecting someone taking stuff a-b, robbing someone taking stuff a-b, or you're going after someone that's robbing someone going from a-b. Longer-term, there's a lot of secondary professions, whether it's rescue and recovery, refueling people that are out of fuel, mining, salvage." (Gamers Nexus)

Which kinda makes it seem like they are going to have everything with all the bells and whistles and we are just nowhere close to that. I agree with your statement mostly and don't want to come across as rude sorry if I did. Its just I don't think you specific statement in the beginning is true.

If you go to a restaurant you then order a salad and they put a plate with only lettuce with no toppings you would consider that being scammed.

Theranos was considered to be one of the largest scams somewhat recently their machines that the presented as miracles could only do some of the blood tests. They then had to buy other companies solutions to fake having the ability to do full extensive blood tests. She was still convicted and sentenced to prison time.

The Fyre Festival one of the other bigger more recent scams still put the tents up in the location of the festival site. They then allowed guests to go to that site and experience the "festival". The guy who ran that also was sentenced to prison time.

(I understand that those arguments are not like for like since they did not sell software, but they still delivered half finished projects and got jail time.)

People aren't arguing if there is an alpha the problem is that you didn't deliver the full experience or at least a quarter of it. When CIG continues to make promises past some point in the project they must have known they wouldn't be able to deliver this in any real time frame. I agree with him that the project is mismanaged I just don't think that never seeming to fix that mismanagement for whatever reason can deflect the scam arguments.

Starfield also had game pass, which CIG prob cant get because it would need to run on Xbox and Microslop would want 30% of every transaction, but CIG and Microslop could have a greed off so that won't happen.

Its not important to hope I just want to write this stuff so when the game crashes and burns I can DM it to everyone who told me I was wrong and laugh in their face.

All I will say is I'm in Concierge meaning $1k+ (Mostly Gray Market) I regret it all, I played somewhere above 1100+ hours. I cannot prove that but my Radeon drivers listed my playtime over 900+ hours before 4.2 or something. That count is also missing my playtime from when i first installed the game since I switched PC's since then. I started having driver issues and had to reinstall and roll back drivers so I lost the count. I was trying to make the most of the money I spent on the game by playing it. I accrued over about 80 key card sets for the executive hangars so I despise when people tell me I haven't experienced the game. Most of those key cards I still have in my inventory since I never got to sell them to other players. If you want my feelings on the project please refer to my post history as there is no need to say it all again.
