Great, another review by someone who appears to have never played a video game other than star citizen.
A Caterpillar is not large relative to actual large ships in SC. Almost all of the player ships, and all the freighter playerships, should be worried about a fighter. There were ships in 3.13 that would have been invincible against a single fighter. Like the Hercules with proper shields. This is not true in 3.14 due to the shield regen changes. Now there aren't ships that are invincible against a single fighter. Haven't really seen in practice in game though.
Combat has not been about "taping down the fire button" in forever/years. Since when ever the heat mechanic came in. Heat is just being replaced by capacitors. Can still tape down the fire button and circle strafe. The repeaters just dont repeat quite as much.
I do agree with whatever that reddit post said, waiting so long for the capacitor to recharge for repeaters is not "fun". It is odd that SC has all these different types of weapons, but is making it so there is only on type that is viable to use: energy repeaters.

I am fine with them not being AS effective as player crew and more than happy to manage wages etc I just want to have them as an option for the immersion and the presumable gameplay of training them &/or fining better ones.
Yes, as soon as you remove it from its container.
For now best to be fine with them being entirely theoretical M
Nothing that shape on the roadmap currently. (Half of which will likely get pushed down the road either way. So it goes
)
None of that exists, so pure speculation at his point.
They have bartenders though.
Well that's why it's odd that so many cmdr's are have been playing it when so many here had been saying it was unplayable and there was nothing to do...
There's a great disparity between what was said about the state of this game, if it was due to ignorance or malice that is still to be decided. Probably a bit of both.
Kate's still going with their series so her sc "honey moon phase" seems to have lasted way longer than her odyssey did.
Hawks and many other cmdr's likewise
Lots of things get said about SC in this thread. Some others that you’ve missed are: That it’s a perpetual alpha prone to misleading roadmaps, compromised by fundamental technical travails under its shiny hood, and with a habit of drawing money out of players for content which doesn’t exist yet.
Wonder if some of those might be true
Oh cool, is he putting in the 18hrs a day he was with EDO when he burnt out? Impressive.
(Genuinely hope the guy isn’t. That was unhealthy…)
Funnily that could equally apply to your bizarre cheerleading posts.
There’s nothing odd about space heads discovering 8yrs+ of dev, in a very pretty skin, and going: Ooh, pretty space stuff!
What is odd is you aggrandising the same while seemingly never having played it:
So question: Have you played SC yet?

Meanwhile, the opinion of a content creator with many years more SC experience is wildly different:
After struggling with 3.14 for another 15 minutes SaltEMike exited the game and loaded up Stellaris (an awesome game btw, I play it regularly).
Yesterday, Morphologis - Star Citizen's biggest content creator - was having similar problems and frustrations throughout his stream:

Well it was a bit crashy... but pretty cool
co-pilot:standing guard on the bridge:
Even then not so good with the current state of servers. But yes agree with

From someone who sits on both sides of the fence I might be able to explain the disparity a bit. For us veterans of Star Citizen, the little things that make it uniquely Star Citizen have long since faded into the background, the little things that many EDO commanders are freshly discovering are all just background scenery for us as we once again end up shouting at the monitor in frustration when for the third patch in a row, we can't spawn any of our ships at the ASOP terminal. Our enthusiasm and "Ooo look, leaves blowing along the walkway!" have long since been replaced with a tired resignation as we fight to play yet another patch through the endlessly repetitive and recurring bugs.
I mentioned in a previous post that all the EDO commanders I've met or spoken to in game are a lot more accepting of where Star Citizen is as a game than we veterans are. They've taken on board the criticisms, the business practises of Ci¬G and come into the project with open eyes...I can't fault that approach. I love watching vids from the likes of Katie Byrne, Hawkes Gaming and others because they see and experience the things I've long since forgotten in my cynicism.

Is that actually in game? Where are the stars in the background? Why is the moon orbiting? I thought there were no orbital mechanics in SC? Why is it in geostationary orbit?
