Tractor beaming live players / ships definitely leans more towards Garry's Mod than it does towards 'game'
I dont reckon most people start a session hoping to be someone else's physics toy...
What he described does sound like the standard operating proceedure for CIG.

Yep, thumb in the rear with no clue of anything.
Oh I get that. And I'm not saying that doesn't sound cool, in theory at least - I'm not afraid to give Star Citizen credit where it's due, even if that is isn't reciprocated where applicable to Elite in return. In practice though, apart from not being able to loot bodies in Elite, which I would like to see to be fair, spawning POIs serves the same purpose with much less room for collateral issues.
I really don't get it. These people eat their steaks bloody and "rare" and it's basically raw. Then they throw a tantrum when it's a drop of blood to much in it.
It's kaputt, of course. You destroy settlement and it stays destroyed. Why wouldn't it? The persistence dictates so.
Star Citizen lets you kill NPC? That would be something most games don't let you do.
Until the next reset. If they needed resets in the past, it might be even more common in the future. Persistence until the next reset. By the time release comes it's going to be wirtten into the EULA that weekly server reset is a thing.
They were cooking chicken if I'm not mistaken. Can't really do medium rare with that...
I'm using Elite as my base, apart from concourses where you're prevented from carrying weapons, all ground NPCs can be killed. Are you saying that Star Citizen doesn't allow for that?
You can do it only outside of "cities" (= landing zone maps) where weapons are completely disabled. In those bunker missions for example. The NPC will magically respawn after a (short) time though.
Ok, so no real difference to Elite, then.
