Nice to see some relatively clear-eyed stuff upvoted on the sub...

I read one of the comments where someone said you needed an SSD to avoid falling through a planet. Been playing games for a loooong time and I swear before long the white knights will claim you'll need a supercomputer to play SC flawlessly

To be fair, SSD is a pretty standard requirement for modern (yes, I knowI read one of the comments where someone said you needed an SSD to avoid falling through a planet.

) games.Not sure how is that supposed to patch the holes in textures
, but still.
I haven't used any mechanical spinner drives in my desktop rig for 4 years or so....I've got a few 2 or 4Tb 2.5" SATA SSD's shoved in a box on my spares shelf, but no mechanical drives at all....I don't even have a drive rack in my PC case.To be fair, SSD is a pretty standard requirement for modern (yes, I know

My current MB has 4 x m.2 slots, 2 x gen 5's and 2 x gen 4's eliminating the need for even SATA cable SSD's. If I get to the point where I need more than 12Tb of NVME space for games...I'll uninstall something

I honestly can't imagine anyone who's fairly into gaming would have any spinning rust in use for anything other than backup. All my internal storage is NVME/M.2 or SSD. My external is a 6TB spinner for immediate back up and there's 30TB in my NAS (24TB usable) for por*cough* media and longer term storage usage

I was the same, but I have recently bought a 4 TB NAS-quality drive, so that I can synchronise the same storage from my NAS into my PC. Just didn't get round to the technical side of it yet.I haven't used any mechanical spinner drives in my desktop rig for 4 years or so....I've got a few 2 or 4Tb 2.5" SATA SSD's shoved in a box on my spares shelf, but no mechanical drives at all....I don't even have a drive rack in my PC case.

But for gaming? Forget about it! Gaming on HDD is pretty much dead, unless you want to play old titles.
I think it's because the client is authoritative for its movement. I tried to run SC from HDD and fell through floors and walls that didn't load in, yet.
Just wait until Rockstar sues CIG for patent infringement. I don't think they see SC as competition, though.

So you're saying Star Citizen has a chance?
Umm.. i thought one of the things they loved about SC was how the interfaces were different between each ship, rather than identical like in ED.

I've still got a mechanical. Its gold some old games stored on it and a backup of my VM.
I think the MFDs / UI fall in the 'would be great if it worked' category.
Like everything else
I don't think I'm the only enjoying playing Star Citizen though, and saying it so or stating I prefer to play it over other games, be it over Elite or No Man Sky or Starfield isn’t defending it.Thanks for replying TNT!
I find this thread much more fun when there are people who are prepared to defend starcitizen here also
It’s clear that some folk such as yourself can enjoy the game and ignore how it’s got there, just as there’s some here who believe CR is scam artist who shouldn’t be given a penny and probably some degree of folks who think people enjoying SC have a screw loose!
Personally, I enjoy a balanced outlook in life as far as possible, mainly for my own health! I enjoy Golgots vids for their clear content and like that they are a tonic to counter CIGs misinformation. Although i think there are some peeps who are being exploited by cr, I have a good laugh at cig’s missteps and behaviour for sure, but certainly enjoy hearing from people who can cope with the game!
Just stating an opinion which is as valid as any other. I enjoy playing it along with other games and do so in the limited time I got, if you don't enjoy SC and prefer Elite I don't think you have a screw loose. I'm fortunate to not have the kind of time to care about how games "got there" or the lives of their creators. The little I have I spend playing it or cherishing the moments played when possible.
If Star Citizen was such a bad game I don't think so much people would be playing and filling the servers with youtubers and streamers creating so much content 24/7. Specially we wouldn't see so many players who play both games spending more time playing it than other similar games. I think the constant updates along with the social and pvp aspect gives it the edge vs other similar games, as in, it ends up feeling more alive and engaging to experience.
My 2 cents ofc:
Going back in trying to catch some of the Capital Fleet action fun that was totally not possible to run on the engine!
Opinions may vary
This. This is the kinda stuff that just makes me so mentally drained w the game and just want something fresh, honestly I came from Elite Dangerous wanting a game that seemed like it was cared about more and now Elite is the game that seems like its cared about more. I get so tired of all the bugs and glitches that cause me to lose tons and tons of progress I'm doing and for what? Like at least in elite dangerous they can spawn me almost exactly where I logged out. And while it happens sometimes in SC it's not very often. I especially hate it when I'm collecting a bunch of things from bunkers and random places to just collect for fun and then I randomly fall through my ship while QT'ing and lose absolutely everything because I can't track a ship further than 20km but oh no you can see the exact distance of your ship on the mobi glass but it just won't tell you at all where to go or where it is, which is oh so very fun [Fixed now, so long as you never change server
Etcetcetc.
Enoy your alpha sunshine. Your overblown tribal claims are still pure daft though

You can see how people get hooked - Ship Interiors add so much gameplay!
Ahh, but does 27 full ED's have any toilets?
The new $350 variant looking good...
