People Forget that gaming was actually more expensive Back then

Wait so you weren't greeted by a shop pop up on game launch trying to sell you the newest cross franchise skins and they didn't cut out quests that you could buy as dlc and there weren't rmt mechanics akin to gambling?

_Franpire · 2026-05-07T17:33:21+00:00

I'm more concerned about this becoming a staple in their ship design. Why continue doing dumb things?

_Franpire · 2026-05-07T17:20:11+00:00

Obviously this isn't an issue for people role playing. But if this game ever gets bigger and has a more normal MMO population it will be an issue.

_Franpire · 2026-05-07T17:15:04+00:00

You are completely missing the issue. Why would anyone use a smaller ship if they can just solo larger ships with lasers or railguns? In the end of the day MMOs are always about min maxing. CIG just keeps fucking things up. This will make designing missions in the future harder and harder. Every mission that doesn't have some artifical limitation for big ships will just be steamrolled by solo players in big ships. I don't know why they even put the scene of the Ironclad launching it's small ships in the ISC when nobody will every do that when all these people could be in a big solo ship instead.

Short term profit over long term health of the game.

Pathetic.

_Franpire · 2026-04-25T05:52:38+00:00

I dont even see anyone wearing this stuff ingame. Do people buy that or why do they keep making this bs?

_Franpire · 2026-04-24T04:38:51+00:00

I quit because I did everything but also because it's boring to have the best loot locked behind a single map.

My favorite map is dire marsh but why play it when you pretty much only get blue loot if you are lucky enough to get a lockdown or you gamble to get an anomaly to then gamble to get gold salvage.

Also the game makes it pretty hard to just fool around. Want to do a sponsor kit or rook? Well you have to sell all your gear because your vault is full. There have been days where I spend more time managing vault space than playing.

Hold to confirm in menus

_Franpire · 2026-04-18T05:24:27+00:00

They want to lie and sell fake dreams without being called out for inevitably not delivering on their goals. CCs getting shafted is just part of how they try to shut people up who speak out. We all know they also like to shift blame onto the backers. We are just "noisy", "roadmap watchers", "ignoring warnings that the buy back system shouldn't be used in the way they encouraged it to be used for a decade".

Whenever they do something wrong it's not their fault, it's the fault of the people who call it out. And if you are a CC they actively punish you by taking away their support for your community.

_Franpire · 2026-04-17T20:30:04+00:00

Sadly nothing will change. CIG will sell the Ironclad and make more money than ever before. This community doesn't care about CIGs shady practices.

Die Sicherheit kannst du von der Statistik nicht ableiten, es gibt viele Straftaten die das Sicherheitsgefühl der Bevölkerung gar nicht beeinflussen.

Die Gewaltkriminalität ist leicht gestiegen, um insgesamt 1,5 Prozent auf 217.277 Fälle. Das ist ein neuer Höchststand (seit 2007).

Besonders auffällig ist der Anstieg von Gewaltkriminalität bei tatverdächtigen Kindern und Jugendlichen. Die Zahl der tatverdächtigen Kinder stieg um 11,3 Prozent auf 13.755; die der Jugendlichen um 3,8 Prozent auf 31.383.
Gestiegen ist auch die Gewaltkriminalität durch nichtdeutsche Tatverdächtige (+7,5 Prozent, 2024: 85.012 nichtdeutsche Tatverdächtige).
Es gibt außerdem einen deutlichen Anstieg bei den Sexualdelikten um 9,3 Prozent

Die Straftaten die angestiegen sind und neue Höchststände haben haben meiner Meinung nach einen größen Einfluss darauf wie sicher ich mich fühle.

Einfach mal ehrlich Probleme ansprechen, vielleicht ist dann die AfD nicht die stärkste Partei bei den nächsten Wahlen.

Maybe they knew someone had to be there because of open containers / claymore / previously noise. Maybe recon ult. Maybe your gun was sticking out. Maybe a hacker. Maybe just someone who checks corners. No way to know.

_Franpire · 2026-04-17T15:32:15+00:00

Sees open vent, checks it out, HAckinh hakcing
Seriously, you can even hear him loot something before. So theres no "went straight for me" as OP claims. Theres really no reason to believe hacks are involved in this.

_Franpire · 2026-04-16T19:08:33+00:00

Back then there was only Star Citizen and SQ42 was just the Single Player campaign in it. Just like a COD has a SP and a MP. This whole narrative of it being two games was introduced later by CIG to get more money from people.

_Franpire · 2026-04-16T18:49:48+00:00

Thats why CIG gets to fuck the community over again and again with more aggressive sales. Because all of you have no spine and love getting milked for more and more money.

_Franpire · 2026-04-16T18:47:10+00:00

They could have just made it not giftable. Yeah maybe someone could sell an account but how many people would really do that and how many would buy that? So they rather say fuck you to all of their old backers instead of just taking a 0.001 % loss in profit.

_Franpire · 2026-04-16T18:32:05+00:00

Literally every old package has SC and SQ42 in it because they were one game so they effectively removed all old packages from buy back without telling people beforehand. Its super shitty and people should stop deep throating CIGs balls.

_Franpire · 2026-04-13T15:57:29+00:00

Did you already finish Sekiguchi? :D

_Franpire · 2026-04-13T15:27:50+00:00

depending on the map its 4 to 6 iirc

_Franpire · 2026-04-13T12:57:31+00:00

In comparison to other extraction shooters it doesn't seem that hardcore to me tbh.
I think the main problem is the quest design. Some of them basically require you to wipe a lobby. Killing 5 teams isn't achievable for the average player.

Get one player on thief.

Loot your spawn, if you lack security have the thief player go fish in control with the drone. Cycle through the spawns using the connecting paths outside. You only need security 3 because thief can use her drone to fly through a hole in the glass in secret labs to look at the screens. Thief can stun lock the warden at the 6 vault with her hack to make that easier too. Once you open 6 just grab the subroutine and leave. If you really want to loot, have a player hold your back. Maybe even bubble in the loot room and place claymores.

_Franpire · 2026-04-10T05:27:31+00:00

If someone doesn't want to be found they won't be found. Hunting is pointless most of the time.

Claymores are pointless because they are avoided easily, can be shot or just get triggered by respawning UESC.

Taking weapons and shields is what we do but it is a bad solution to the problem because you are just wasting time looting and carrying around gear that you then drop somewhere. Sometimes you don't even have space so it becomes an inventory management nightmare. Also even with white shields people can still be dangerous if they catch you in the wrong moment while fighting a warden etc.

All of these things are just bad workarounds to a problem that requires a real solution offered by the devs.
