No, seems they are taking a more skeptic approach. They are fully aware there is no date for SQ42 and that "polish" can take years.

You can do the same things you see in the video in the current alpha (from space to ground to space). It's real time.
I don't undestand if you say that CIG sould/should not keeping up with Vulkan and if they are able/unable to do it (sorry I'm french).
I've just got to say that this is by far the most fun I've ever had with a computer game that has been nowhere near any of the 3.5 (damn you Covid!) PC builds I've done since it was announced. I may even consider putting my dislike of the Roberts "family" (like the Mafia has "family") and installing it once it is fully released with all the trappings promised, and gets good reviews. I can't see it though. This game is from the code whispering (searches for backspace on keyboard), "I am a PC game" maker ("Where's Dennis?"), physics programmer extraordinaire (who thought you can swim in space) utter tool.
It will never be released my dear Doog. It’s polish and ship sales until the end of time from here on.
Still described as an alpha?
Thank god.
Alpha, beta, release have no meaning for SC and are just means to muddy the water and increase misinformation.
I could paraphrase that by saying “Current features are interleaved with future aspirations to the point where a detailed explanation is required to separate the two”.
I'm probably in that other percentage who wouldn't, for several reasons.
1) As long as Crobblers owns CIG I refuse to give them any money. If he gets bought out, a la Freelancer, this would make a difference to me.
2) I'm pretty burned out on space games. Elite for many years, then NMS for a few months, X4 and Starfield i just couldn't get motivated to get into.
3) Online games i'm pretty jaundiced on now as well. Too many people online are just jerks, PvPers demanding the game become a PvP haven, even for games that are basically PvE, and constant "fixes" to balance things when from a PvE aspect at least there's nothing wrong. I've gone back to solo games only. Coop games remain fun for me though, as long as its with people i know. Getting older and these days i just want to chill when playing games, not be stressed out or have to compete. ED at least had modes, but SC won't have any way of ensuring you don't play with people whose whole goal is to mess up your day.
If SC had released way back in 2014, before i became a die-hard skeptic, i might have given it a go.
These days, i'm just enjoying the entertainment i get from watching its development and the blind faith of the hardcore backers.
Should SQ42/SC release, i will be interested in seeing the reviews.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me 100 times, I'm a Star Citizen fan!
How can you say such a thing?! Could that happen to me? There's been such a long time of drought when all we had was pretty much just X.Pied Piper has a tune for all the gullibers.

In the case of SC, "alpha" just means a game that sucks after 12+ years of development and 600+ millions spent on it.
There are places were they call that "a stable job / job security".
Can't for the life of me find it but I'm sure someone told me SC wouldn't be cheap and gimicky 'beamz for all' like filthy other games....

Overdose of magical beams in Star Citizen - Star Citizen Spectrum
Hello everyone, I'd like to talk about something that worries me a lot about the artistic and gameplay direction that Star Citizen is heading towards. The overuse of magic beams in way too much...

What does he mean with magic beams? Heal beams in ED - that was magic beams.Can't for the life of me find it but I'm sure someone told me SC wouldn't be cheap and gimicky 'beamz for all' like filthy other games....

He didn’t. He said something like, “When it comes to CIG, it’s safe to assume the worst.”
What a hater.
CIG terms
Pre-Alpha = We're not even trying to make a game.
Alpha = Might be something useful in there.
Beta = Codes are so bloated you can't add stuff to it anymore.
Release = Chris Roberts was fired.
Not particularly a fan or follower of Star Citizen, but this got me excited:
