A) You literally can't do it can you. You can't just agree that the 30Ks will probably uptick now, and just leave it at that. You have to gabble on about a weird collection of strawman arguments that I haven't actually made.

B) I post bug vids because I find pre-alpha bugs in AAA clothing to be funny. And because I know others here can appreciate the piquant things they say about SC's longer-term dysfunctions. (And what those things say in turn about CIG's marketing and hard-sell of the game).
I'm not here to paint any picture of SC. I'm just here to enjoy discussing those aspects with some like-minded people.
Some of the positives of this thread are that you can be knowledgeably sceptical about the game here without needlessly bugging fans, or being attacked excessively by the more zealous ones in turn.
The negative is that you still have to put up with the odd masochistic white knight blathering nonsense to try and smother all criticism. And the odd local who thinks every criticism of SC's unique excesses is somehow a defence of ED

You forgot the part where everyone in the thread becomes an accounting/coding/management/barista expert as required by the latest tidbit of news/gossip/assertion to confirm that it will definitely spell the end for star citizen.You're way past "skeptic".
This thread is 99% crazy people crying "Chris Roberts is the antichrist!" a hundred times a day, so one little ant isn't going to turn this into a Woodstock concert full of hippy joy, LOL.
Ah… but my response to both is a bit more nuanced than that. X4 has always been a game I know I’m going to buy eventually, but I’ve got to stop buying games I won’t get around to playing for several years. No matter how it may tempting it may be. It’s in my wish least, and the last time it was on sale, I had to remind myself just how full my current game lineup is to stop pulling the trigger.When you say, "Stop making me want to buy X4!" all I need to do is try to make you want to buy X4, and your response is always, "Yuck, no way!"
Mission accomplished
Of course this makes me want to try Star Citizen all the more, because you say "Yuck!" to that as well, and if X4 is a "yuck" game for you while being a "I love this!" game for me, maybe Star Citizen will be too!
Star Citizen, on the other hand, is a game I once wanted to play, but over the years, it’s morphed into I might buy, just out of morbid curiosity… if the price is low enough. Thankfully, “free for a week” is currently sufficient to sate that particular urge. It already combines what I consider to be the major flaws of both No Man’s Sky and Elite Dangerous. And then there are several design details that I feel are questionable at best. The largest factor for me not buying this game, by far, is that CIG in general, and Chris Roberts in particular, makes Electronic Arts seem like paragons of virtue in comparison.
If you’re curious about my previous free fly experiences, you can find them below:

To give the Spectrum muppet some benefit of the doubt...even at 20-30 fps, SC does seem a lot smoother than it ever has previously, a few mates...even me... have noticed and passed comment on it when we've been playing. It's more about frametimes than actual fps in SC's case, not so jarring with...

I’ll be doing the same thing for this upcoming free fly.

There is a very easy solution to avoid having to justify your name calling of the moment every time you change it to suit your narrative:
Its in there atm, but its just stuff you buy from the vendors. You can then throw it in your ships inventory and consume from there, or 'fridges' I believe based on Moles earlier posts.
Fridge may not be the best idea...
(Example of fridge damage accruing seen from the outside. The fridge in question.)
PS this is still the funniest thing in ages

EDIT: I'm still fricking lolling
I love this game

Clearly Chris Roberts is trying to introduce Under Siege inspired gameplay.
Yuck! Do not buy an Idris.When you say, "Stop making me want to buy X4!" all I need to do is try to make you want to buy X4, and your response is always, "Yuck, no way!"

Bad news: SC UI sucks (though X series doesn't shine in this department neitherWell, my expectations are kinda high thanks to Space Engineers, X4 Foundations, and Subnautica. I want meaningful interactions with the UI, not just opening and closing doors for 10 minutes straight.
Though if food and drink are now part of surviving in SC, I could see going down to the galley during a long trip and cooking up some lunch.
) and you can't cook (because apart from few like turrets and beds most of ship equipments are pretty but useless assets)Yet you're here seeking for answers... Weird. I hope you're searching somewhere else too.You're way past "skeptic".

LOL, at least you have a good sense of humor!
FWIW I think the average person who spends big money on things fake spaceships, NFTs, gold Apple watches, and rare baseball cards are all... well... I better not finish that sentence.
That said, when I drive around my town and see a dozen vehicles parked in every single driveway because each member of the household, including the pets, "need" their own vehicle, and I consider the environmental impact of that, I become much more supportive of virtual wares. The making, selling, storing, fueling, and disposal of an Indris is way less destructive to the environment than a fancy car or boat or private jet.
So yes, BUY AN IDRIS!
I'm quickly learning who has actual answers and who has nothing but empty rhetoric.
While I won't be documenting my free fly experience, I do at least hope to have that experience this time around.I’ll be doing the same thing for this upcoming free fly.
I do wish there was another way to test performance without waiting for a free-fly, like some sort of short 10 minute demo or game-specific benchmark. Right now the biggest question I have is will my computer even run Star Citizen. If not, then all this fencing and jousting is for naught.
Yes I forgot this one. You have to drink and eat once every 2 or 3 hours. In some ships you even have a bar with some food and drinks at disposal.
There is certainly more 30k in 3.17 than in 3.16 as (it seems) they are deploying entity graph.
But I haven't seen one myself yet and every players of this thread had stated they haven't seen one also.
What's your config ?
Allegedly, performance has improved recently. I certainly hope so. My new computer struggled to even get above 30 FPS the last two free flies. Considering it can effortlessly run even the most demanding VR games I have with all the bells and whistles activated these days, and you’re worrying you might need a $4000 machine to run Star Citizen…
As I'm at the bottom end of the market with my 'robust' gaming laptop I will say, its definitely improved.
