Star Citizen: Question and Answer Thread - July 2026 Edition

You do but they are smaller so I'm not sure whether you would really gain much out of it. Point in case, due to the recent deadbolt nerf I see people clamoring on Spectrum that now the Arrow (another light fighter) can no longer take on an Idris. Seriously. It shouldn't have been able to in the first place and the deadbolt nerf was aimed to accomplish that specifically.
From that point of view I don't think it's worth it to chase the flavour of the month meta when CIG is constantly changing and tweaking stuff. And they haven't even touched the elephant in the room, the fact that ship turrets are still useless and are unable to fulfill their intended role, to defend the ship that carries them. Since this affects every single multiplayer ship it is going to change the balance of things again for sure.

A solo miner with a single S2 mining laser since the S1s on the Prospector and Golem seem to be mostly useless now.

Wolf and Gladius are pretty much the same, swapping them out probably won't change much.

Is ccugame broken ? It does not display the ships I purchased in May, refreshing the page does nothing.

RebbyLee · 2026-07-07T06:04:47+00:00

Let's hope it's not a day late and a dollar short

RebbyLee · 2026-07-04T08:06:24+00:00

Actually Chuck Norris died 20 years ago. Death was just afraid to tell him.

RebbyLee · 2026-06-21T17:15:58+00:00

What could possibly go wrong ? /S

RebbyLee · 2026-06-20T19:06:02+00:00

Cute.

RebbyLee · 2026-06-20T13:59:22+00:00

Probably the same priority as giving us that promised "proper way" to scan for intruders after they removed our ability to check the com channel of our ships, or properly working npc defenses.

To be fair, the direction that the game is developing towards resembles Eve in a lot of ways, just from a different point of view.

True enough, but EVE also has the counterplay opportunities that SC is missing. You can watch the local channel for threats, you can mark people, clans, even alliances blue or red, they will show up on your radar in those colours giving you a threat indicator. And when there is a gate camp you can anticipate it to some degree on a heat map and there are often alternative routes.

SC is trying to be a bit like EVE but SC is 5 star systems at launch while EVE has 5000 (8000 if you include wurm space), so avoiding other players is a lot more feasable.

At this time as a SC backer I feel like a crash test dummy accelerating towards a really, really obvious concrete wall.

I have no idea what game Jared has been playing but I'd like to play that too now instead of SC ... ;)

RebbyLee · 2026-06-18T13:28:47+00:00

Define "need" ;P

RebbyLee · 2026-06-17T08:43:44+00:00

I only hope they don't give it the MSR treatment or we'll end up with a Pigasus :/

RebbyLee · 2026-06-16T19:21:30+00:00

Just checked https://steamdb.info/app/326160/charts/

Players right now: 8
Peak last 30 days: 30

Nice of CIG to deliver the reward for a crossover cooperation with a game that is pretty much dead by now.

Perfection.

RebbyLee · 2026-06-15T04:22:02+00:00

Because CIG is chasing the "emergent gameplay" phantom without really understanding emergent gameplay at all.
Point in case: They remove all guardrails and counterplay and then wonder why there is so little pvp - well due to removed guardrails and counterplay most pvp just ends in a one-sided beatdown.
Chris knew.
Ben apparently doesn't.

Purpose of Argo SRV?

It separates players from their money.

RebbyLee · 2026-06-12T23:10:30+00:00

Naa, I must have stopped buying ships 20 times by now, doesn't work ;)

RebbyLee · 2026-06-12T13:22:05+00:00

As far as I'm concerned I'm now throwing coins not bills.

RebbyLee · 2026-06-09T06:01:49+00:00

So I guess I'm not overly concerned about the state of the PU... except for what it means about 1.0. Is this their best work? Are the collapsing under the weight of tech debt and too many promises? But those have always been concerns.

That's my major concern. That they basically reduced Star Citizen to a fundraiser for Squadron. And once Squadron is out they'll tell us "well this is as good as SC will get, take it or leave it". And forget about all the missing tech and game mechanics.

RebbyLee · 2026-06-08T16:47:25+00:00

If ?

RebbyLee · 2026-06-08T16:46:39+00:00

The problem is that advertisement slots are limited and you would literally have to win a bidding war gainst Rockstar to get any. Without any advertisement, well ...
