400 billion star systems of what?
- Thread starter Rifter
- Start date
Yeah I look forward to all those willy-shaped space stations and planet names that'd keep Frontier in court until kingdom come / Star Citizen is finished

errm, who ´charges 10000 a ship´?
Sc doesn´t charge anybody, you can get anything in game, other people support the game because they want the game being made perfectly knowing they don´t have to.
They even have an ingame currency rental system now I have all ships available and I paid like 45$ last week. It´s seriously awesome.

uh-huh. And putting up the pledge reward somehow forces you to buy it?
You seem to have a lack of understanding of crowdfunding dude, read up on it. It´s a new financing model.
you donate money for a product being made and get something as reward depending on how much you donate.

Well considering I pledged £60 for the complete "Elite: Dangerous" one might consider $18k a crappy deal

Speaking for myself, but I roleplay a wandering cartographic surveyor.
I get myself to a designated system out in the black and measure the distances to various other systems to trilaterate the location exactly. Then I move along to the next target.
Along the way there are stretches of boredom, stretches of monotony, and even stretches of popping neutron stars like pacman. I'm under no illusions about what FDev have made, because this is almost exactly what I expected of the game. I enjoy it, I know some others do, but not everyone likes jumping from star to star to star.

Mods is what keep games like skyrim or sim city 4 alive today.
In a game like this?... I dont know, being a online game it will be difficult to do that.

The user generated content must be added into by in-house means. Not like in offline games where you just add a script or replace some files.
Then they need to go through the normal testing process. It is slower and requires dev/tester time. However, it requires less time to test than to create, build and test.

Uh-huh - and with the INSANE amount of money Star Citizen now has (and keeps earning) when you buy the game when its released (Without pledging) you are going to be surrounded by tons and tons of people in their big ships that they didnt earn in game from day one... and in quite a few LESS systems too... You think the PEW PEW Killing is bad in ED in the Lave area, its going to be NOTHING compared to Star Citizen when its out.
I just dont agree that players should be paying to win with the ships this far in advance before the game is even out.. To me that just screams unbalanced.
Path of exile to me is a good example of Store stuff getting done well. The game is free and already has tons of content so i was glad to support it with 20$ to buy more bank space.
I feel the opposite in Elite, i paid a big price to get a game that has little content, missing basic functionalities like being able to store ship weapons somewhere, that doesnt have an early access label and the company is already nickle and diming me for some paint jobs on ships.
The SC examples are a really bad trend, im sure we can all agree on that.

Well I'm sorry, but there needs to be loads of stuff. Providing enough locations and options that it's impossible to visit in 100 lifetimes and never finding anything... yeah my life is worth more than that and basically an insult saying that searching through that is a game.
In the reality, we are fascinated by the galaxy (and the universe), and we can not go. In ED we can go. So why not be fascinated ?
Thanks for that list of nice exploration videos!

So what you are saying is that the game needs to be what you want it to be and not what I want it to be or it is an insult to you. That is a very self-absorbed position to take.
Maybe, but then again I'm not the one selling a tech demo as a AAA game.
Don't think I've ever put several hundred hours into a tech demo before and still had so much fun. Pretty awesome tech demo, like a full game some would say.
I understand. If it was a game you liked, you'd like it. Meanwhile, you want to complain to those of us who do like it about how much you don't like it.
In other words, instead of playing a game (this one, or some other one) you'd rather spend your time complaining. Uh, how's that working out for yoU?
