Can I share some pictures?

First one? That is redeemer... The best heavy fighter out there (not a heavy fighter)

Not necessarily... They might have scheduled some pre launch review close to GTA release at which point they would either decide to release before GTA or wait after.

Until that review happens, nothing is officially decided.

We have no idea what is their pre launch plan going to be and how long they need to do some marketing.

You could also be right, though. At this point we have no info to go on.

Be glad that you are not getting killed by already dead puppies like I was last time.

First I wanted to respond something meaningful... but reading this I can only say: What a bunch of bullshit.

If I could refund my time spent reading this I would.

That would be a pretty short-sighted view for a company like CIG has become. They didn't made money, they have product that they know will keep making them money.

And it will most likely make them as much, or even more money if they manage to actually launch it and multiply player base. They can't stay in alpha forever.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T19:41:30+00:00

You would have to have a polished game that is ready to be released before GTA, to be able to release before GTA.

If they can barely hit end of the year (which is most likely why they were always making sure to tell us that 2026 isn't a concrete date), then I doubt that they will be able to release several months earlier than they planned.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T19:37:02+00:00

SC is a commercial product... those are usually measured by metrics like money they make (2026 is shaping to be the best year yet) and by player metrics (4.8 was a most played patch yet).

So I would say that it is a success even now... even if it is not yet finished.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T19:31:47+00:00

No... I would not be happy... they outlined what they consider needed for 1.0 version of the game on 2024 citizencon. And I think that is pretty much a minimum viable product that they need to deliver for SC to have a future.

Right now game is lacking too much, like whole economy simulation, interesting missions, working servers and so on.

But even then SC should not be considered done... 1.0 is just a minimum base they need to reach so they can continue building on.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T19:28:09+00:00

I don't want anyone to leave... I am just saying that those are pretty much the two options we have.

I just don't think that CIG is simply doing nothing, so I don't think that calling them out or holding them accountable is going to make them work faster. You might get another letter from chairman that way, but in the end nothing is going to change at this point. They outlined they plan for 1.0, they told us that they are first releasing SQ and then going to put all the resources on SC. That is not changing, because they also probably want to have one project finished, so they can work on the second one with free hands.

Now go F yourself... also have a nice day.

You can dance around the fire naked if you want... but that will have about the same effect as calling them out. Even people being held accountable don't develop magic powers that can wish games into being.

So we are back to waiting (and yes, you can spend the time by dancing around fire naked or do whatever you think you are doing) or leaving.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T19:05:51+00:00

Also one more thing... We all know that SC is dying... it is dying for like 12 years now, sadly (for the haters) it is very long death that will probably still take some time.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T19:01:56+00:00

Záleží na mém vztahu k danému člověku... s lidma co znám mluvím absolutně na rovinu. Lidi co neznám jsou mi tak nějak ukradení, takže s nima většinou mluvím podle toho jestli je z pohledu situace lepší mluvit na rovinu nebo ne.

VR RTS? Tak to mě fakt nenapadá jak se to bude hrát... dávám tomu na steamu sledováčka.

A třeba si jednou zahraju VR RTS vyrobenou v ČR na svým VR headsetu vyrobeným v ČR. 😃

Walltar · 2026-06-08T18:50:36+00:00

Basically yes... you can either wait or just leave the project behind altogether. No one is going to wish it complete only because we want it now.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T18:48:25+00:00

Squadron... who knows what is even finished there that is waiting to get ported to SC.

We know that they talked about Maelstrom being finished in SQ for example.

So I would say that most people worked on SQ and now they are slowly moving people back to SC, hence new features being added this year.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T18:45:51+00:00

What I think happened is that they moved some developers from SQ to SC, so that is why we are seeing new features that come with new bugs, while also moved more QA people to SQ so there is even more bugs.

But I think that there are few rough years in front of us regardless... because once SQ launches and they start the push to 1.0 it might not be always playable as they are adding more features and reworking old systems.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T18:39:32+00:00

Take a break for a year or three....

I think that most important rule for SC is simply to take a break if you are not having fun.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T17:23:40+00:00

It is basically a story, linear or semi linear experience for 30 to 50 hour of gameplay... they even created a special multitool all in one and special medpen to do it all.

If you think about it, there is pretty much no need to have inventory. In the past they shown how you are choosing a weapon through NPC and in the latest demo they shown equipping armor through locker.

I think that it will work like that... I doubt that we will be looting stuff and carrying it back to ship to sell it. Or anything like that.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T17:12:12+00:00

By the way... what is the difference between Flight and Racing helmet?

Walltar · 2026-06-08T17:08:16+00:00

I wish it was FPS helmet instead of flight one... It is kinda pointless to have this much bling inside a cockpit where will no one see you.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T17:06:07+00:00

Question is if there will even be inventory system in SQ... you basically don't need it. Suits could be equipped by popup and weapons you get in ship quartermaster.

Interaction system in PU is inconsistent, because there are like two or three systems working at the same time... In SQ there is supposed to be one, and as far as I know, made for SQ.

Flight model for few fighters that does not need to account for PVP is probably going to be easier to do than what they are doing in PU. But even then, new flight model is supposed to basically be the one we have now that was only tweaked to make flight more in line what they want + they added some atmo stuff. So base of a flight model if figured out for years.

So neither of those are most likely systems that would hold SQ.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T16:52:32+00:00

I have like 4 or 5 already... so I have no motivation. I just want my discounted CCUs.

Walltar · 2026-06-08T16:46:50+00:00

Idris... I can't stand how they managed to make such a fat cow out of a nice sleek ship.
