"Star Citizen will not live up to your dreams" Directly targeting the guy that hopes that the game does, of course inviting them to click on it and probably write a comment! "Star Citizen will not live up to stated promises" would have been more objective. It's just clickbaity - which is something these SC articles rely on! Because repeatedly beating a dead horse requires some innovation.

Why are you concerned about objectivity in an opinion piece (that still manages to softball the criticism it lobs at the project)?
You're getting hung up on polemics instead of the content.

I dont think it is more clickbaity than CIG trying to sell us the BDSSE with all its promotional material, Cons, 104TC, bullshots, punching above their weight ships, warbonds, ccus, star studded videos and what not. That article is quite straight forward and to the point about what all that SC over hype and over funding will lead to in terms of disappointment. Huge gap between dreams and actual, the SC gap there is several orders of magnitude larger compared to most every other game.
But what about CIG?! Was talking about the article, I do not care if CIG is more clickbaity, the article is clickbaity and beating a dead horse.

I think that is one of the points of the article precisely. You should.
Problem in that statement is that MOST of peoples dreams about SC are directly from CIG's promises. Massive scale battles, human like NPC's, and so on and on. Just one or two jesustech away....
There you have it - and that's why lying to fans and customers is totally OK in SC case.
Massive scale battles already happening with Ninetails
Over 50 players at same instance? Player owned capital ships duking it out?Massive scale battles already happening with Ninetails
You specified "massive battles", not "massive player battles" Ninetails has well over 50 NPCs.
You know what CIG promised. Do you think your "Ninetails" get even near to that?
Do you know that journalists are not supposed to write false information?
Massive scale battles already happening with Ninetails
Player control of those cap ships, with functioning interiors, still very much not though. And that’s where some big dream-for-dollar exchanges have taken place.
Do I have to answer this now or can I wait until SC gets released?
I do not see any false information. He reported on one mechanic, as you mentioned. Did he report falsely on that one mechanic? Were any of the other more academic points inaccurate?
Again, is gamestar.de more objective in its reporting?

You merely asked about massive battles. No specification of players or not. Just answering your question.
Does it get close? No real clue, since there aren't player battles with 100s of players, but 25vs25 organized events are very cool.
But Ninetails does do space battles very well, you got a couple Javelins, Idrises, Hammerheads, and lots of small fighters in one Area and it's absolutely glorious, especially if you're multicrewing on a ship with other people.
Do you think CIG can realistically pull from their hat say just those massive battles they promised? Just that? Or are they now just player dreams.
What other promises change to be just "player dreams"?
Is microscopic though. Just look at zhe content released the last 10 years. Lol and you need even stronger to see releasable content.
