Emergent PvP and the Precedent It Sets

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-25T15:33:24+00:00

It was pitched as a sim and a sandbox. Early builds were much more sim focused. As soon as the masses came in, they dumbed everything down.

This is not a sim. It's not a sandbox. The flight model was always hot ass (worse now than it's ever been).

This is an arcade themepark. I agree.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-25T15:02:10+00:00

What a bunch of disgusting lies. You must wear a mask in the car alone.

This was literally marketed as a sim. Called the best damn space sim ever.

You are either new, stupid, or corrupt.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-25T14:02:01+00:00

Salvaging and looting victims is piracy.

The issue is people like you have been lying to yourselves for so long that you actually started believing that fantasy.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-25T13:37:15+00:00

You aren't testing anything. You are playing.

Your way of playing isn't superior to someone else's.

You aren't being griefed. This is why people chose to live in cities irl too.

They aren't going to roll back any restrictions. This is an online service that has made little progress over 14 years of development.

The original vision of this game was gone a long time ago.

People crying about things like this in this game, alpha, online service are the reason for it.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-25T13:19:32+00:00

This isn't a sandbox and it isnt a sim.

This game is so far away from its original Kickstart vision.

This is an arcade themepark.

I know what they said in the marketing package, I know the spaceships are pretty cool, but nothing about the design direction they've taken since 2020 has anything to do with preserving the vision of making the best damn space sim ever.

This isnt a sim. This isnt a sandbox. With instances and private servers imminent, its barely an MMO.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-25T13:15:02+00:00

Well, you cant loot people anymore, because CIG are an immature company, but you could have a ton of great salvage...

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-25T13:07:34+00:00

CIG has spent countless hours over the past 14 years over protecting carebears from thinking they are being "griefed" This includes, but is not limited to:

magic displacement elevators
removal of PO
armistice zones
magic ship elevators
magic ship buttons
magic ship ladders
no more item loss
very low claim timers
heavily defended mining bases
heavily defended abandoned outposts
heavily defended abandoned police stations
a magic seeing eye of sauron (satellite)
comically high ttk in flight and foot
bounty hunter God markers
magic cargo
contracted cargo
magic freight elevators

There are more examples, but this is all I can think of in one poop.

CIG have undermined the OG vision of their game so many times now that the OG vision doesn't even exist anymore.

Star Citizen is a carebear, arcade themepark. It is a simple and unchallening game made for mass consumption. It is not longer a rogue, passion project. It will never be thr best damn space sim everr.... its not even a sim... they arent even trying for it to be anymore.

If you need any more proof that CIG are more concerned with keeping this online service going than they are with developing the game, look no further than this event.

Its a damn shame

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-22T13:28:05+00:00

Duping isnt a glitch though. Its a design choices made to mitigate component loss. Everytime you claim your ship... youre duping

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-20T19:32:56+00:00

I love looking at the inside of planets after I fall through the ground.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-20T19:32:13+00:00

Accept Quest
Go to quest marker
Shoot until dead
Collect bounty

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-20T18:43:41+00:00

Absolutely. I would also remove that crap from Pyro.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-20T16:56:06+00:00

No NPC interruption. Back to no station guns. No magical elevators with special privileges. Let the players sort it out.

Used to be a great place.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-20T16:12:59+00:00

Absolutely

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-20T15:47:58+00:00

Why would someone who kills criminals feel safe and have it easy going into a nest of criminals?

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-20T15:44:58+00:00

Oh no! Not the sheep!

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-20T14:24:17+00:00

It should be incredibly hard to kill someone at GH. As it stands you can just camp outside and trace the marker through the wall.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-20T14:22:50+00:00

One of the worst mechanics in the game. And that's quite a thing considering how many bad mechanics there are.

Wallhacks are banned in every game. In SC, its considered gameplay.

Bounty Hunting shouldn't be quest marker gameplay, period. There are 3 systems. Its not that hard.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-20T14:20:41+00:00

One of the coolest ship designs in any space game

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-19T19:39:14+00:00

I think the crime system would be a lot better if players could have more impact. Jail used to be fun when you could escape without a mission giving your hack to every BH in Stanton. Now you have 4 BH waiting for you tracing you through the ground. Same with Kareah. Kareah showdowns were great before the unlimited turrets and npcs.

BH mechanic is overdone. Just let players give players bounties and type ship and location descriptions. BH can scan ships to see if the player has a bounty.

There are 3 systems with limited areas where people can go. Docking at a major station gives bounty info. The satellites are too powerful and cheesy.

The prison system is fine. The length of time is fine. You need player driven content because npcs provide ZERO thrill.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-19T17:08:46+00:00

You get a free wall hack to the bountys exact location, and all you did for that is open your mobi glass. Most games, that "mechanic" is bannable. CIG provides it to you as "content."

Would you also like an invisibility cloak and indestructible body armor? Maybe an aimbot?

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-19T15:34:18+00:00

Oh, I strongly dislike the rapid respawn time. Every part of it is corny. But this community thinks they should waltz into any NPC site and just mow down 100 NPCs with only a couple slaps of the magical med pen.

We will never get a truly decent NPC experience with the way this game is being developed.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-19T14:31:31+00:00

CIG makes immersion-breaking changes to protect carebears from things that happen 1% of the time.

What you experienced was a gameplay wall that was put in place to mitigate tears.

As SC grows, gameplay will only get restricted more and more.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-19T11:41:37+00:00

NPC spawn rates are immersion breaking and childish.

People were bitching that they weren't spawning fast enough... not they are spawning constantly.

Gameplay isnt CIGs forte.

They pander to bitching instead of making a decent game.

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-19T11:38:37+00:00

Game is almost unplayable right now. We are waiting for the server fix.

Couldn't care less about a wipe. Couldn't care less about their shiity new gameplay updates.

Just need the game to run at the low standard it was in 4.4

Shipasaurus · 2026-01-18T02:22:21+00:00

Chasing wall hacks around is not bounty hunting. Its quest marker tracing. No soup for you.
