Why do you have to mine rocks on the surface of a planet by hovering a ship over them? They've made all those ships, but not a mining vehicle? Having the ui text the same colour as the planet doesn't help. The process itself looks fine.
From the comments of the video you posted:
- Imagine in a few decades they will still be making these videos and be really old with grey hair and wearing dressing gowns and walking with a stick
- as Chris has added a few hundred more mechanics (like real time simulated toenail wear and tear and growth) to the game.
This reminds me of Stardust...

It would be fun if you backed in 2012 and your avatar was forced to age until the game came out...

Has this thing not crashed and burned yet?
Been a long time since I've even thought about SC, never mind read anything about it. I got my money back out of the project many moons ago and thought it would have collapsed in on itself by now.
So, what's new?

Dos not compute. More information required
Yeah, sorry - had written a possible explanation of the floor clipping, then was editing it to make sense in layman's terms and then thought what the hell am I doing awake at 2am
I enjoy reading this thread more than trying to post on it
Refunds have stopped since January, there are quarterly releases with a roadmap, though things are constantly moved out of it, the last release was there on time (barely), broken and very light on features, but still. The next release is on the test server, so it should be there on time. Main features it was supposed to contain were first iterations of salvage, repair and mining mechanics as well as FPS AI, but only mining remained.
Mining ("0 tier iteration") is limited to ED-like deposits on planetary surfaces, mined by 155$ mining ship. Mining looks like that: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6ldvcq and requires you to hold the button to use a mining laser and make sure neither of four values exceed the limit (think ED's mining but if your mining laser overheats you lose the deposit and/or ship).
The other smaller features are the 8-person group system, the ability to link the quantum drives (go-really-really-fast doodads) to fly in formation and allocate power to subsystems.
Edit: Compared to 2.0 you get moon landings, few ground vehicles and more than few new ships, a little bit of persistence, Star Marine on two maps, no more than 30-40 FPS unless you play on a fresh server and few smaller things.

If it wasn't so expensive, I'd like to try Star Citizen mining. Oh, well.
Is that like bit-coin mining but harder on your GPU and for less return?
You can always log into the PTU and beg to borrow the ship, emergent content right there and who doesn't want to roleplay a virtual pauper?
Or wait for free flight weekends if they still be doing those where you cat try all the jpe... ships.
You only get a few JPEGs to try on a free fly weekend. For all JPEGs you need a press account, which you can get for free.
What are they going to do about all the jpegs that need more than 8 players to jpeg?
What are you talking about? The party/grouping system is limited to 8, not how many players that are around you.
Kinda like Elite's party system is limited to 4, but you can have more than 4 people in an instance.
It's great that they didn't release a rushed game in 2014 as planned and held back to take all the time they need and raised all the extra money to put out this 2018 iteration of "0 tier" (aim at rock - hold down fire) mining and I for one can't wait for the 2022 update. It really shows how taking as much time as possible ensures fully feature rich game-play which will save PC gaming.

It doesn't matter one iota what I am talking about.
The only thing that matters is what CIG devs are talking about, and still failing to deliver

By the end of 3.4 they will have half of what they were supposed to have in 3.0. /cynism
100% Fidelity!
Not really that bizarre, sub millimeter radar in theory could do this, various prototypes are around at the moment.
Yup, although that does have interesting implications for ships that have a crew of more than 8....
