Could interest you in the Legatus 2952 Starter Package? It includes every single ship in the game at the small price of $40,000! Ever wanted to be the proud owner of a picture of a spaceship you won't get to fly within the next couple of years? Now you can! Also includes a Star Citizen digital download, for all your bug squishing needs!I don't play the game so i can't confirm such statements
(No refunds possible, it's a pledge, dummy!)
(No P2W, pledge!)
Anyway, trade in both ED and SC is pants compared to other games...
There is much more exploration in the minature system of Outer Wilds than in Star Citizen, therefore SC sucks.
(not really but this comparison game is
It would add so much to team gameplay and immersion.
The most interesting part would be physically carrying the slaves I have just bought, though.

I have always dreamt about putting Sokoban in my ED. That game was so visceral. I would improve it though, with a minigame, where you need to keep your body's balance so that you don't flip when carying a box. Of course, everything would depend on the gravity, weather, physical attributes of the space suit etc. Fail to maintain the balance and a box can fall on your foot or leg, crushing your knee. This is where the medical gameplay kicks in, with another minigame of manual stabilisation of the broken bones, simulated bleeding and possible wound infection. Depending on the success of that minigame, your character would have more or less trouble walking. All of this after two months of real-time stay at a hospital and having to go through a complex set of rehabilitation excercises every day. Fail to log in, miss an excercise and your character's therapy can fail, making it completely immobilised and having to use a space wheelchair.

The extra wheels make turning harder but add so much stability and ability to pull big loads.
Also, seems like you hit some traffic there. Hope the delivery isn't urgent!
Ok, discussing SC specifically:
In SC you can log out on a planet and log in next to the sun. This is fairly extreme.
Sure. Persistence is in an improved state at the moment, I agree.
But does that mean the guys who logged out on a planet and logged in at the sun didn't experience that?
Nope. It does not.
Or the guys who logged out for the night on a surface, and logged back in to find themselves under a mountain, due to planetary rotation?
Or the guys who can't access their load due to ship duplication locking them out? Or the guys whose trade ship kept blowing up because they foolishly walked down the ramp? Etc etc. There's a significant web of bugs which mean persistence and progress are still not in an ideal state, and these impinge specifically on our topic: Trade. (And that's without mentioning trade's Tier 0 nature generally, with Tony Z's background sim still missing in action for years etc).
And all of this will most likely get worse again for a while when they rip out the persistence database and networking architecture this year. Because alpha baby
I'm not sure why anyone bothers with the 'alpha performs like a standard game' line of argument honestly. It's a bit daft ¯\(ツ)/¯

ED is the person you started dating in 2014, had some fun times with, and then eventually grew apart from and split up with on more or less friendly terms a few years later. SC is nothing more than a picture in a magazine, of someone you'll eventually see in a "before and after meth" mugshot on imgur.
Star Citizen Year in Review
And what were the highlights of the year?
Star Kitty armour
More armour
More armour
Carrack, decided on in 2013 and was the 33 million stretch goal. It wasn't released in 2021 like CIG claim here, it was released in Feb 2020 in 3.8.2. It isn't available for research missions and long distance touring because neither of those things exist in game.
Merch!!! Yes, an opportunity to give CIG even more money!
So, there you go, the highlights of 2021 for Star Citizen. 3 armours, 1 opportunity to throw money at CIG, and something that didn't happen in 2021 and is badly misrepresented.

The 2nd part.

They say
Laranite is the most profitable trade commodity in SC. A full load of laranite in a C2 (the biggest trade ship) will make over 2 million credits in one run. So you could do 4 - 6 million an hour. Way out of whack compared to everything else.
There are plenty of other things to trade if you have a big ship, but for that person trading is "broken" because they cant trade the most profitable commodity. And even then the issue is they cant fill up one of the big trade ships. Its fine if you are using a small trade ship.
Discussion was about ED vs SC, can't bring the Alpha arguement because "Ha ha! 10 year alpha!"

I'd like the see the full thing, just to be sure they're not cherry picking.
But regardless, that Carrack section. God damn.
The Carrack was released in 2020, has no research missions, and can't travel a million miles from anywhere.
But otherwise, great job CIG. 2021 was clearly a strong year
Oh dear you've melted. Talking about details too much was it?

Heh, i guess there was chery picking. As I understand this is from the email, the video does have some other things mentioned as well in addition to these, so i guess the email had more. The claim for the Carrack was brazen though.
But you know me, FUDster supreme!
Star Citizen looking good!

I guess "cherry picking" is sorta one way to put it.
Heh, yes, a bit more there.
Let's see...
The ship showdown which caused so much salt and cotroversy on Spectrum and reddit. Such highlight!
Citizen con - and what a non-event that was. A guided tour of Pyro, still not in game.
Crusader and Orison - yup, that was a good addition, apart from being a framerate killer for many.
Women's day - fair enough, but a highlight of the year???
Pride contest - again, fair enough, but a highlight?
Alpha 3.15 - woo hoo, a patch was a highlight.
Interesting, those things in the images i posted must have come from the email. Unless its all made up. I'll ask for a sauce. Well done if made up though.
So, out of that "transmission" - 2 out of 6 items actual in-game things. One of which was a patch out of 4(?) major patches delivered.
Interesting they don't list medical gameplay. That was a much more impactful addition worth highlighting.
Also odd that the Carrack was released into the game in 2020
It was meant to arrive with 3.8. As i recall it was delayed and delivered in February 2020 with 3.8.2
