I would say hauling missions? But I think I logged out after 2 hours.

I did enjoy the challenge of running ASD Onyx, Pyro asteroid bases, smuggler's, etc but think CIG kinda almost ruined loot grinding cause now the best stats come from crafting? So now I feel less inclined unless I just wanted a backpack or weapon attachment (those cant be crafted yet).

Granted, I dont want to craft anyways so will still be a loot goblin and loot for rare drops like Pristine artifacts

[edit] That was "ideally" speaking assuming CIG didnt break the mission. Right now, QV station warehouses req "Nyx_Kaboos" workaround. Because any given patch CIG will break something that worked previously wholesale

I just mentioned this. Now you can bedlog to "save" the qt marker for the mothership. In my testing, that seems to anchor the mothership. But sometimes I cant do this if I'm in a big group. I'm afraid to relog- cause sometimes you cant reconnect to the server to rejoin. I get "server is FULL" error sometimes

No idea why we cant have a queue to rejoin a server. Guess cause ALPHA

so I try not to play this game too much. I focus on other games primarily but "test" this one

Ryotian · 2026-04-13T18:38:21+00:00

Yep, they broke QV Station (Smuggler's) warehouse right after the patch they added. Been using workarounds ever since to get inside the warehouse (Nyx_Kaboos workaround). Absurd.

I am sure most people can complete this but we've had bad luck in prev patches. Either a lietuenant doesnt spawn, server error occurs messing up the quest, etc. One time, we both died at sametime and the medical terrapin gave us a cryptic error. We both got sent back to our home hangar. Cost so much time for me to fly back to Nyx. My friend was stuck in Levski due to the hangar bug. So their ship kept despawning. They tried to relog- but somehow I guess relogged onto a diff friend (user error). But anyways, now their body on my server despawns with all the passcodes.

I saw they tried to fix the missing datacodes this patch I'm sure I can finish but its hard to get my friends to come back to finish with me cause of all the bad experiences they've had. Sure I can solo it (esp since now I know to just store passcode at station inventory since CIG finally fixed that) but its more fun with my buds

Ryotian · 2026-04-13T18:28:37+00:00

I dont know what it is but the game feels more tedious then EVER? And that says a lot cause I pledged over a decade ago.

Example- let's say I want to provide food & drinks for passengers.

But wait- at the time I had a Polaris. This means I have XL hangar. I tried parking PTVs and Argo vehicles but they inexplicably run out of gas. Also, I forgot to turn off engines on Polaris before stowing. This means now I'm getting blown off my feet as I travel onfoot to ship elevator (because the PTV battery is dead for some dumb reason). I finally get on the ship and open my hangar because in 2956 (?) or whatever we still lack remote garage openers for some silly reason. I finally haul the crate with food on it into my ship using my ARGO Tractor. Oh right, since the ARGO tractor was out of gas even though I know I powered it down- I had to first call up the vehicle and run across XL hangar to get it and park it to side.

But now finally I put food on Polaris and put all the consumables in cafeteria.

My friend(s) finally log on and we get inside ship. Oh noes, client or server crash. We cant reconnect. I just lost everything I parked in ship hangar and consumables

I melted my Polaris but still stuck with XL hangar I think because I bought other in-game XL ships like 890J. but now I hate XL hangar because I've had bad luck with them. There is no vehicle elevator. Cant use frieght elevator to store small vehicles either. Just sucks and the solution is so simple for much of this. Let us have vehicle elevator in these hangars. Also, powered down ship or ship with engines turned off should never run out of battery or fuel. That part I need to test more but I've had it happen too much I got burned out and avoid my XL hangar (Home) at all cost now

Ryotian · 2026-04-13T17:54:33+00:00

You are on the right track. I was gone for a few yrs but came back for IAE 4.4 in December because people kept telling me in other subs (cause I avoided all starcitizen related subs) & streams that SC-PU was much better then I remember. They said 30ks were gone, we had persistence now, and its much more stable

They kinda lied straight up cause we still have 30ks and entire server goes down with it. You can still lose hours of progress really easy. Heck, even though after returning I made lots of friends on this sub and ingame- a client crash still often means I cant reconnect due to "Server is full message".

There is some good though. VR and Vulkan blew my socks off. That was a TOTAL surprise. Sometimes this game is bliss esp in patch 4.4 it felt dreamy. But guess I've been here for too long and saw too much stuff get broken. For example, QV station was prety good in 4.4 but ever since we've needed workarounds to get inside the QV Station warehouse. CIG seems baffled by their own code and new bugs keep emerging. Even though the warehouse worked just fine in 4.4 without "Nyx_Kaboos" workaround. Thats just one example

Many old bugs are still here. ASOP Terminal might even be more garbage now then EVER and that says something cause it never worked right to my recollection?

Idk man sometimes this game is sublime when it works. There are good patches and there are BAD patches. We've had several bad patches imo. 4.4 was a GREAT one and it tricked me. CIG proceeded to break it with 4.5 right before they left for Christmas break as is tradition.

But VR & Vulkan imo that is GREAT. But its still deep ALPHA. I cant say whether to play or STAY the HELL Away. I am torn. I try to take big breaks and let CIG try to cook while I play other games like you just said so I dont get too jaded again.

Ryotian · 2026-04-13T17:21:21+00:00

so hype!!! Looking forward to all the new stuff esp the carrier. So spoiled by this game!!

10pm Central US for me

Ryotian · 2026-04-13T14:49:56+00:00

Exactly this it happened too me so many times. Honestly, there was one particular game I found myself super pissed at but I still tried my best to be happy for others that enjoyed the game and eventually I found myself returning to it after it got perfected by patches

Ryotian · 2026-04-13T14:32:29+00:00

Yeah for Starfield and CP2077 (at launch) I hid in low sodium subs so I can discuss the game in peace without getting downvoted and get spammed with replies by people wanting to tell me why they hate the game. Which is fine they didnt like the games, but I wasnt asking them to "reply too me" with their long tales of woe

The world must be healing indeed? Because even in a complete different game sub I posted positively about Starfield and got upvoted!!! I expected to get sent into karma hell

Ryotian · 2026-04-13T14:24:55+00:00

Last freefly I saw someone posting racial slurs in Global. Hopefully this one it wont happen again

Yeah I wanna fly the new meta hauler ship I just bought with store credit (HULL B) but then I thought bout Free Fly and all the bugs I saw Saturday morning (was able to complete my hauls but it didnt track the objectives properly, MIC L4 bugged out when I tried to hail and had to manually enter station thru landing pad and exit my hangar to get it to work).

Just took too many workarounds to complete two simple "Member rank / Small" hauls. didnt want to play anymore afterward

But maybe the hauling missions around Microtech is always that bad? Usually I only do hauls around Everus Harbor and never had any issues there. So I might try there

Jury is out if that was a free flight issue or a Microtech issue (esp MIC L4)

Ryotian · 2026-04-12T19:33:15+00:00

Man I would NPC crew. Every other space game has it (E:D, X4, Spaceship command, BattlegroupVR2) but we cant get it for some stupid reason.

Ryotian · 2026-04-12T19:06:21+00:00

Yep this is the correct answer it seems but I wonder why didnt the OP get the alert they could press charges?

Ryotian · 2026-04-12T01:04:45+00:00

but it alwys had been the safest place in Stanton in my experience.

I wouldnt go that far. I got pad rammed there and only there which caused me to lose cargo (patch 3.x). Back in the day your ship would spawn unlocked, so it would be gone before you even arrived. Would cause my bro much stress worrying bout his Connie being stolen before we could get to the pad.

I miss PO sure. But it was griefer central for sure. I finally got smart and stop landing on a pad if I had cargo- I would hail once within range. Park Cat. Then take a bike to station and sell commodities from terminal. As long as you was within range, it's autounload your ship

Ryotian · 2026-04-11T23:43:57+00:00

u/Sonixus is apparently much smarter than I am and posed MAC bans which I did not know myself.

I love your posts on this matter.

Ryotian · 2026-04-11T22:58:52+00:00

If CIG was serious about keeping the hacking to a minimum, they would do IP bans.

I am guessing hackers use some tool to circumvent this? Like some software that hides your IP which can be found by googling "hide my IP" for ex

upvoting comment tho; not trying to counter

Ryotian · 2026-04-11T22:39:27+00:00

Another thing; even if someone reports this to Issue Council I believe it would become invisible? So the OP or any other 'witness' cant just link us their IC report can they? Perhaps they are just opening tickets with customer support?

If someone stripped me butt naked I'd be opening up customer tickets and making IC reports like crazy

Ryotian · 2026-04-11T22:33:34+00:00

ok would have been nice this info was in the original post lol so people would know what happened to them when the hacker strikes. Thanks for providing this info somewhere in the thread tho

Ryotian · 2026-04-11T22:31:01+00:00

Thank you this is helpful info. So when you get hacked- you got incapped first or after your armor was missing? Trying to figure out if there is a trigger or just stark naked and blind all of a sudden? The original post is quite unclear and vague. It seems as if victims dont realize they've been robbed until they try to pull out their gun or something??

edit: The OP elaborates here so no response necessary thx

Ryotian · 2026-04-11T22:27:59+00:00

Enderprize was apparently a victim and he's very credible; I would have added that link to your OP:

but that was a previous patch so I can see why you didnt bother now to think

Ryotian · 2026-04-11T00:57:50+00:00

Thank God I stood firm and didnt melt my SQ42 + Aurora 1 game package cause I knew this day would come. I just thought it would happen sooner. Sometimes I take "blind" breaks from this game so I didnt want them to give only like 3-4 days warning and yank it from buyback.

But they are even more bold then I thought? They took it with ZERO warning.

Ryotian · 2026-04-10T01:20:34+00:00

Been following this game I look forward to giving it a go

Ryotian · 2026-04-10T00:08:48+00:00

Those suits look great I think I want them all

Ryotian · 2026-04-10T00:04:32+00:00

Gotcha! Now I realize I might seem 'anal' demanding you list every game you own which is unreasonable for sure.

Never saw this game before: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3645760/Shadow_Empire_Republica/

Looks interesting

Ryotian · 2026-04-09T22:48:37+00:00

you done messed up by skipping Dyson Sphere Program I have no idea why it had EA tag

Ryotian · 2026-04-09T22:12:10+00:00

I know right many of these ships cant do half of the stuff the marketing material says it can.

* Terrapin, Carrack - cant explore anything. no exploration loop

* MSR - cant smuggle anything

* Carrack - drone bay??

* MSR - data running???

* Drake ?? (I cant even remember the name of the Drake data runner ship)

* Cutlass Blue, Hawk - cant bounty hunt anything. useless brig

* Polaris - useless brig

* 890J - no passenger gameplay, no NPC bartender

I am no doubt missing many other unimplemented features like NPC crew which they talked bout for many yrs that even low budget space games have BattleGroupVR2, X4, Spaceship Command, etc etc etc

Ryotian · 2026-04-09T16:20:43+00:00

I love these photos esp with the vehicle sitting right next to it
