How many server wipe has it been since day 1 ?
What a great time to be alive. When you can throw money at an incompetent person who promises you dreams and you can keep doing it for a decade or more!
CIG in total have received in excess over half a billion and the game is still a very limited buggy alpha, many years away from the game they said they could deliver for 65 million, almost a tenth of the cost.
The only time i've seen actual vs estimated costs so out of whack like that is with government contracts.
I got some questions after watching that video. So there are two types of spaceships in the game; the ones earned by playing the game which burn in a game wipe, and the ones bought with money from your wallet which don't?
I can understand why it's important to do these wipes if that's the case, after all, those folks who paid $crazy wouldn't be too happy if there was some exploit and suddenly everyone is running around in the same ships you mortgaged your house for, and your investment in pretend spaceships starts to look a little... erm... silly
So I take it that the 3rd party market for Star Citizen is for these more permanent pretend spaceships, which are less likely to be wiped by RSI?
Which brings me to another question. In the video Howard O'Conner's eyes glaze over slightly as he mentions his referral code, and reassures us that he only receives in-game items for these referrals and he makes no money from this
But are the items he's paid in for these referrals the wipe-proof kind? If so then he is indeed making money from them. They are the sort of items he can sell on the second hand market

Indeed. « Wipe proof » jpegs function like NFTs for most practical purposes except they are traded with real money instead of crypto.
So these items will exist for as long as Star Citizen keep their servers up? Ubisoft closing down their servers is in the news at the moment. Has anyone brought up the prickly subject of how long RSI will keep their Star Citizen servers running?

Its an interesting topic. CIG's server costs at the moment are significant, but nothing compared to salary costs. However, if they manage to get server meshing working, especially dynamic server meshing, their server costs are going to skyrocket.
Players will have to keep giving CIG money for as long as they want the servers to stay up.
Melee still acting in very peculiar ways...
(Here is a bonus melee-through-the-planet one again. It's like the game can't handle attacks on prone NPCs at the mo, getting the relative player orientation all wrong.)
NPCs still barely acting at all, at worst...

SC's referral program seems to have unique awards in them that cannot be bought by money, if I read the SC's ship wiki correctly. Or at least very rarely be for sale.
It's an ingeniously designed system.
If you want referrals you've got to promote Star Citizen to such a degree that people not only want to try it out, but also to spend a good chunk of change on Star Citizen - with your referral.
And thus these folks like D2EA will have to actually sell Star Citizen to their viewers. So...
• Any problems with Star Citizen have to be glossed over or downplayed.
• Any competitors to Star Citizen have to be trash and not worth the time and/or be a dead game.
Gotta funnel all those eyeballs into leads, and then convert them leads to referrals! -It's the only way to get yourself some unique gold ship models and a Javelin ($3000).
In other words the shills are just corrupt s telling lies for their own gains.
Have you installed it on an SSD?
That was the first comment option that came to my mind, too.Have you installed it on an SSD?

Delete your user folder. Geez.
CPU load is pretty bonkers, btw - what the actual F does it calculate?. I know that the answer is "EVERYTHING" of course, but still
F? Fidelity of course
