And the comments are hilarious at times.
And a statement from years ago for the ones who try and hate on any game as some kind of argument that it makes their game better:
Roberts Space Industries is the official go-to website for all news about Star Citizen and Squadron 42. It also hosts the online store for game items and merch, as well as all the community tools used by our fans.

Tried firing up the 3.13 PTU last night to test the new mining components...my first time in SC for a while. Crashed to desk immediately after I spawned in, tried again...30k'd before I reached the trains.
The post that made me realise that just typing 'FUDster' isnt even funny anymore....its gone the way of 'Its Alpha'
Yeah, kind of. For example, if someone's ship randomly blows up for no reason at all so they are stuck on a planet for example, they can request someone come and pick them up for money. Its probably what the mean by "missions".
Emergent gameplay.
Well, SC does have the ability for people to make missions (like personal transport) and pay each other directly, so there is that. Its one thing SC does that ED lacks.
You can do that to a degree in ED as well. There's a Discord where you can 'hire' a FC to take you somewhere. Not officially sponsored (as in no direct payments but easily worked around with market mark-up and mark-down onboard for those that choose to and Frontier showing no signs of stopping that method*) but players will come up with their own ideas and do it anyway. Suppose in EDO you will be able to taxi a player around if you want as well, or pick up hitchhikers, in any ship with 2+ seats not just FCs.
*or can Wing up for 30s while other players hand in Wing missions or Multi Crew while they sell explo data or sell goods and get a share of the profits - again no sign of Frontier stopping it. They just don't like direct payments as in straight credit transfers from player to player.
In ED though a lot of players do it for free. There's a thread where FC owners announce 'trips' or routes and people jump on board. Or it just happens, saw just recently in the latest mystery thread a player asking 'Any FCs jumping back to bubble?' and virtually next post an FC owner said 'Leaving in 30 mins ish' so they jumped on board for free trip back. Little risk it seems as most people are genuine and the griefers got banned early on for exploiting players so players can trust the system. Some FC owners ask for fuel donations just as a request to help out not an 'agreed payment' like hiring one in above example, a lot don't even ask for that and just do it for fun or reasons.
No downvotes on spectrum, just picards.
The picard (or bald eagle as I cant help thinking of it) is one of the Spectrum indicators of feeling / commitment / fanboi / cult member that has majorly declined in use since 'Itll be done when its done' statement...as an investor in business its an early sign that something has changed and to sell up now before the crowd catches on and the price goes down and buy a different stock instead. "If you jump on the bandwagon, you've already missed the opportunity" J.D. Rockefeller, and still the best single investment advice I have ever heard, but also applies to other areas of life, like hype and expectations of something being delivered as described.
