I can't be the only one that would like Star Citizen to be more than just a spaceship game right? Imagine being able to do anything you want without a ship. Using your feet, public transport, and...

You could live an entire life in the verse on one planet, do everything on that planet, and when you want to go further or do something in space, that's when you use your ship. A lot of ground gameplay would enhance the game by so much and would instantly make base building make even more sense and have purpose. It would add realism. It would then make sense to offer camping mechanics, more realistic survival elements, hunting, fishing, etc., and would open up possibilities for boats. Imagine building your own remotely located cabin next to a lake, where you have a boat you can have fun with, where you can hunt for your own food, and just live a completely isolated life where the only time you leave is to drive into the downtown where you buy stuff, and where you don't even need a spaceship. Am I the only one excited about such a thing?
Not sure anyone could realistically look at what CIG have produced to date with half a billion dollars and approaching 1000 employees and think "Yeah, let's also add a boatload of other stuff to the scope as well! That will definitely happen!" I mean, if someone wants a game like this, why not just play Ark or Valheim or any of a thousand other planet based building games???
Speaking of Ark, in the same thread..
I can't be the only one who wants tamable dinos in Star Citizen right?
Just bloody well play Ark then!

It has never been a "game about spaceships".
LOL, funding tracker says otherwise

Skins sold 5.5 years ago still not in game, and apparently there are even older skins.
I was just having a random A.D.D. thought about Star Citizen. I was thinking what if you could have a pet?! Like a dog that can come with you if your spaceship is large enough and also a space...

checks notes 64 million! Just before ship modularity at 65 million. I'm sure they will be available any day now!
Posting a general concern. I've been a long time backer since 2015. I've watched this game progress slowly but steady of the past 7 years. Each year we have received 4 quarterly updates as per...

Complaint about lack of progress is explained in comments by a defender of the faith...
What happened is a very complicated re-design of a core back-end system that touches on just about every part of the game. Making it complicated and time consuming to do.
That back-end is what they call PES. The first bit dropping in the upcoming 3.18.
On top of that they also did a lot of the work to update the rendering engine in the game client (Gen12 renderer). This also touches on a lot of the game client.
So, we have 2 very big chunks of work that can't be broken into smaller bits being worked on (by different teams) happening in 2022.
These are the foundations for multiple systems AND even more detailed environments.
Its complicated because its complicated and somehow this is stopping a 1000 people company from delivering more updates while a small part of that company works on the rework to some core systems. Amazing!
