That feature was deemed so good, it got merged into Live now.
My own tests ended in a hab with a locked door.
You know, this messy release before new year would be funny, if it's not a decade old joke, and - first and foremost - there was no developers wasting their time, health and moment with their family because they have to work overtime, over the weekend, to hypothetically fix what the Perfectionist and his clique made them release when any lifeform with more than 2 brain cells could figure it wasn't a good thing.

Word.
I can never resist giggling when I see ED as an abbreviation for Elite: Dangerous.I just realised why they have 2 (3?) live branches ongoing now.
Chris spotted Legacy ED on consoles and wanted to have his own Legacy version of SC as well
I know that, Cobra Engine has been developed for many years now, and still keeps on being developed. Pre-made engine solutions aren't usually fitting for out of the box game design such as a Elite. Just cause a feature it's not possible currently doesn't mean a company shouldn't go for it and make the effort if possible or else we wouldn't have had Horizon and Odyssey updates.
Star Citizen is indeed being built on quicksand because it's available to play while it's being made. So we get to play it while they keep adding more sand and water, it's mushy (or is it meshy now?) just like Elite became when Odyssey released. Thats what happens when you add new sand and water (new core tech) to your game. So It will only really stop being like that when you stop adding more core tech and the focus moves to stability and bug fixing.
Fail in a few years? People saying that since the beginning? You have to look at Frontier and Elite and what they've been through to understand that Star Citizen is probably gonna hang on just fine for many more years.
Just this *free-fly you got to experience more ships in a week than in 10 years of Elite. For free, No grind, no hassle, just pure unadulterated space ship all. With that alone they'll keep getting new players.
Be me, noob sperm suit citizen:
Fly to the space station, find a random luxury ship unattended and a dead guy all decked out, you can just loot it and I did and just enter it's ship because I just can, like that. Door is open so I enter. I can now just fly this big ship. And better, I managed to put my small ship inside it and take the two. So now I have a big ship and small ship, What I'm gonna do? I dunno but I'm just happy with a stupid grin on my face by thinking that I stole some poor whale's ride.
Unplanned shenanigans is why players come back, there's not really a curated experience. You can play by the book and do normal missions but along the way be able to just find random ships and players and things change up, floating in space or near outposts. You just go there and walk inside and fly them and that's cool you'll end up finding a Bar in some remote outpost with unresponsive npc's t-posing on the sofa by the fire.
And that's part of the experience , Lot's of bugs and performance drop's but also lot's of cool ships and gear and visit some cool planets and that's more than worthy for many to end a gaming session wanting for more. And more it comes:
The infamous impossible Pyro lawless system. The one that suposedely could not be added without a loading screen but now it seems it's not needed after all (the ingenuity of german students when it comes to mod cryengine during the weekends keeps being underestimated by some so it seems).
About time to find out how challenging the most scenic interactive loading screen ever made realy is.
I'll try to keep the screenies trigger happy and keep ya posted, Enjoy!

Ah that mythical time when SC stops being a buggy alpha.
Good luck with that friend...
Actual gameplay clips tend to tell a fuller story

Have fun in alpha land LTNT o7
Arrived at Quantum Jump station
Aling the thingy

Welcome to Pyro.
TLDR: Screen Loaded Successfully
@VR Golgot No idea what happened there but RIP that citizen.
Quite the view
Came from there, somehow.
And there's someone making it's way back to Stanton. Maybe couldn't handle the heat.

Seen some reports that suggest CIG has censored in Spectrum the topic of the 30% drop in SC players played time (and likely related 50% drop in new website log in creations). Not surprised really. Hopefully we see a thread passing through CIG sauron´s eye.

If you were the optimistic sort, you could always read the little black circles with the high numbers at the bottom of that chart as °F instead of MPHThat looks a lot worse to those of us who are still immersed in “Freedom Units” on a daily basis.
Temps are still mild for this time of year up here (not counting wind chill)...averaging out at around mid 40's farenheit...I grew up long before we went all European and Metric over here so I can still do the conversion to Imperial freedom units for most things (Gallons/pints, lbs/ounces, feet/inches and spanner sizes etc) in my head
I still have 2 full tool sets on either side of my workshop...Imperial for the Brit bikes and Harleys, Metric for the Land Rovers, farm machinery and all the other modern rubbish
