Narrative evoluting as expected...
SC has enough space with a single system.... oh my, the copium!
Still doesn't understand why you tie implication with money put in a project... If CIG needed money, I would understand and I would have probably given them money, but it is not the case. Whether I give them 500€ would not change anything for CIG.
CIG is a game's company, not a foundation that fights against cystic fibrosis. They don't need my money to continue the project. I prefer donating money to vaincrelamuco.org.
I think you are mainly disappointed not being able to call me a whale...
You still think they have all the money or something? Spoiler, most of it will already have been spent/wasted. Whales were promised things by Crobber that will never happen to extract lots of cash. I bet most of the early ones stopped putting money in years ago. I do think there is some money laundering going on though. Of course they need your money.
For sure they need money. But they have and they will have all the money needed, with or without me.
I won't be seeing anymore post from you.
@LA
I'm really struggling to comprehend you only being in for the minimum to be honest LA, why?
So, if you are in for minimum it's probably just as well because if you are this invested on £45 you would be basically CIG's biatch if you were in for any more. If you aren't, which seems the case to me at least, then why are you fibbing about it? Just musing here but maybe it's to avoid further ridicule, or personal shame or because you know you'd just be outed as another whale or near whale shill who's too invested emotionally and financially to have any level of objectivity whatsoever.
EDIT - In short LA I think you are absolutely full of it, personal opinion.
I'm really struggling to comprehend you only being in for the minimum to be honest LA, why?
- You are insanely invested and defensive about every aspect of the project.
- You gush over the most insignificant drivel, bedsheets for example, should they ever complete a star system you're gonna explode.
- I'm struggling to remember a single bug, widespread or otherwise, that has affected you personally, which, given the state of the game, is farcical frankly.
- Your 'just because they lied to everyone 5 years ago doesn't mean it'll happen to me' is naive bordering on complete denial.
- You constantly say 'when x, y or z is in', (as if it's a foregone conclusion), a, b and c will happen, totally neglecting the fact x, y and z have been 1-2 years away for 7 bloody years in some cases.

What I've discovered over the years is that some folks don't need the prop of financial investment to become emotionally invested in this project. I honestly can't count the times I've been crushingly überfanboyed in game, on Spectrum or on here by random $45 backers

Perhaps it's this sort of sentence that trigger my will to keep going back here again and again.
It's also funny to read you all explaining why SC is doomed while in the same time the game is more enjoyable patch after patch and have more and more players.

Some backers may actually find that statement about progress funny. Many actually think it is the opposite (1700 upvotes and counting):
Etc etc etc

I recently started a new playthrough of X4 (Terran start, first time), and it's been crazy fun and addictive. Not only have I been enjoying the story line, but the way the galaxy is "unfolding" this time has been really challenging and intriguing and keeping me glued to this game. I have to admit, my current thought is, "Do I want to waste time downloading, installing, configuring, and experimenting with Star Citizen right now when all I want to do is play X4?"
Maybe NEXT Free Fly will be the one...
It's also nice being able to play a space game that doesn't break when my Internet has a hiccup
SC is soooo bad. And the funding is soooo not exploding at all.
Just wait for the end of may, you will see how everybody is fed up of SC and will vote with their wallet to show how bad is the alpha

I do not know man, but I can see a lot of posters in that thread in the SC reddit (among others) disagree with you. Not just in this thread.SC is soooo bad. And the funding is soooo not exploding at all.

It's sad how this childishness is your fallback for any criticism about the game, regardless of whether its here or within the SC community.SC is soooo bad. And the funding is soooo not exploding at all.

It makes me picture a child sticking their fingers in their ears, shutting their eyes and singing "la la lala la I can't hear you!"

Funny thing - I installed SC about two weeks ago, but the "configuring" part so far has got me beat. I tinkered around with the control setup menu for a bit, but it is atrociously unwieldy, imo. In DCS I can set up my main axes quickly and efficiently* and be flying in minutes, but I didn't even make it out of my bunk in SC, yet. I don't use WASD, so in addition to the flying part, I also have to set up my own FPS keyboard settings and tbh, I just couldn't be arxed to spend more than 15 minutes with it. So far, it's MP only anyway and I'm not really interested in the MMO part.
* In all fairness I have to admit that here is, of course, a learning period involved with that, but still, the DCS control setup is much more logically grouped and easier to use. Again, imo.
Strangely enough...even I agree with you
3.17 was pushed out to keep a quarterly patch deadline that was more than likely set by the investors...that's perfectly obvious. In the latter stages of PTU we were still cataloging bugs, performance issues and server problems old and new when the decision was taken to shove it to live. 3.17.1 is a tad better (in PTU testing). That will change of course when it goes live with the added problems of the marketing driven Invictus week accompanied by a free-fly...
3.17.1 still has many, many issues of course, but they're mostly the perennials we've all grown to expect little to no resolution for as dev resources are being increasingly squandered on Sqn 404. The PU is being used strictly as a marketing tool to bolster Sqn 404's bottomless pit of development demands...and also increasingly being starved of vital dev resources outside of that primary sales and marketing focus.

The controls menu has always been a grade one clusterfarce. Rather than completely redoing it, Ci¬G just keep adding and subtracting keybinds as it suits them...or adding yet another page to the HOTAS axes functions which are mostly duplicated elsewhere or over ridden by mouse and keyboard controls that you're forced to troll around several conflicting pages of gumph to disable...
I hope thats the case, since my guess is they wont be adding another one...and even if they do, it'll be a log out, choose the next system, then log back in sort of deal. No jumps! Hows that for immersions?
Good thing its only a pre-alpha, since if it was considered a game and reviewed, it'd become known that it's just crap. Facts...it's not Scottish. (old SnL bit )
