It took me 3 weeks to earn the 2.061 Million aUEC to buy the Prospector in game, and another 46,000 aUEC for the Lancet mining head i have on it.

All i did was box missions, bunker missions and low level NPC bounty hunting.

I ran around all day yesterday grabbing these boxes while sitting on the couch watching F1 and then American Football.

Might have mindlessly made 2 million yesterday. Up to 6 million so I can buy a Prospector. Not sure what ships I want to pick up.

Save it for when the Ion and Inferno are buyable in game, they will suit your play style...
 
Very disingenuous, BF2042 is A) Not the only big FPS released this past month, and B) It's a bug-riddled, incomplete mess.

The latest Call of Duty is still doing Call of Duty numbers, the whole thing of comparing Battlefield 2042 to Farming Simulator was to show how badly Battlefield has dropped off due to some sub-par releases and a player-hostile attitude in marketing the previous entry in the series. FPS aren't going away.
Oh, I see...I was basing that solely on BF2042. I did not know it had issues. But that makes sense (the reason why numbers are low), since the trailer looks fantastic and it's on my Christmas wish list for sure. But when you say it's a bug-riddled, incomplete mess, do you mean ED:Odyssey release level of bugs or SC level of nothingness bugs? Or NMS's release? Or Cyberpunk2077? All of those, if not there, are clawing their way back to goodness.

Also saw some recent Far Cry 6 gameplay, is that considered FPS?

FPS means First-Person Shooter, so if you saw footage of FarCry 6, you should know from what you saw.

BF2042 launched with major issues in matchmaking, networking problems, graphical errors, missing modes that were in every other Battlefield game and a ton of other problems, as well as issues with cheaters on PC and Xbox, as Xbox is forced into cross-platform play. The game needed at least another 6 months.
 
BF2042, I had so much hope for. A return to BF2ish I hoped, fix the nade spamming and add in destructible environments, but man BF2 was so much better than BF3 ,4 and etc. It seems they've managed to regress each game as they make a terrible CoD clone. The "Specialists" they did especially killed it for me, more CoD cloning. I played on Tactical Gamer for BF2 where Project Reality began, maybe that's why I remember it was so great, but the squad system just worked so much better and having a commander made the game so much more organized. Plus calling in arty strikes just as your squad pushed on objectives was <chef's kiss>. We also had 128 players back then, "hacked" of course because it wasn't official, so this whole "we now have 128 players now" is a joke. It's because introducing consoles held back what could be done on PC, the games were designed for consoles after BF2142 and backported to PC with awful design contraints due to that.

Anyway, rant over. Back to Star Citizen, the savior of PC games.
 
That guy is on a total troll. It's clearest if you look back at how he started on this run a few weeks back:

Everything he's posted since then has shifted closer to Poe's Law territory, but he's still just playing an uber backer:

He's been posting variants of that quote by the dozen (despite getting repeatedly called out by folks over Salvaging's history etc etc ;)). I guess maybe that's his aim? Either to get backers to agree with silly things, or to get them to make the case against CIG's own roadmaps ;)

Ah, we have suspected that some people may play the role of insane backers to make the insane backers look bad... erm....

Goddamn, that's what makes it so hard, no idea to tell which are the real ones!

To be fair, most communities have their nutjobs.

Looks around and whistles softly
 
Yeah but loads of them have spent many pennies ;)



What's more likely to be driving the ongoing rise in the refunds sub members? Drama hunters (given SC isn't exactly a hot topic in the gaming press these days), or guys getting sick of waiting for a release title after 9 years? ;)
I'd suggest drama hunters...it is reddit after all :D

Seriously though...they discuss refunds in there about as often as it's discussed in here. The boat has kinda sailed away on the refund front...a long time ago. I know because I was on it. A group of born again revisionists who may or may not have spent a few bob then got to endlessly biatching about Star Citizen and calling other folk childish names isn't that rare or unique...have a look at Spectrum. ;)
