Better odds of seeing X-files 3. Perfect plot for Mulder to investigate though, some game with space aliens that never releases but is somehow a commercial concern, cult like behavior, etc....

Not flawed at all since the pursuit of pew is a very big (but small minded) factor in how many can, do and will play SC....and never get to looking much beyond it. Big ships, even multicrewed are fairly boring with most being suited to other pursuits, heavy fighters are an unnecessary expense when all of the best PvP fighters cost little more than a starter package.
Speaking as one of the bling barge owners, the general idea of buying ships for many of us is industrial on an org scale rather than the basic pursuit of pew... multiple cargo, salvage or mining ships escorted by some of the more expensive heavy fighters, all manned with crewed turrets tends to dissuade the casual trolls under the bridges and keep them to annoying newbies outside the orbital stations until they get bored.
That was the plan anyway, pity none of it will ever be realised.... so all that's left is to jump into the starter package troll ships and join in the fray
Yup, currently playing this...it's pretty impressive. Infinitely more playable and far less bugs than star citizen...and this from one guy on a shoestring budget. I tried it initially to tide me over until September, and I'm finding it quite addictive... it's a great pity this will be one of the few early access game projects truly worthy of support that will suffer with the release of Starfield.
Spacebourne 2 is currently 11 quid on Steam...well worth a look.

It is as if the life of a long-time SC player and their evolving relationship with the game is much more interesting than the official lore and world buildingNot flawed at all since the pursuit of pew is a very big (but small minded) factor in how many can, do and will play SC....and never get to looking much beyond it.

What is Star Citizen?
What is a released game?
What is a woman?
Life is far too complex these days.

LOCK THE COMPLAINTS 
Someone want to tell him that it is released according to CIG's legal team. Also that people playing the game are actually playing it, since they used the word playing, not testing, in their letter to that refundian.
Yeah kinda...'tho it's more like when you have everything still in a "GREY" phase without a proper texture or anything and still as I said it's more a Dev gimmick then a proper term to gain you time and resources before you acknowledged that you start seriously working on a game but offcourse you can't drag Pre-Alpha status more than a few months at the top.....well srry you actually CAN do this even for more then a decade if you are CIG and no body account you responsible for doing it...How I think it goes, pre-alpha is just a concept of software, something that may not run at all, or tech demo at best. When you get something that runs and has rudimentary basics together, you have alpha version. Basically Little Ant is saying SC is a techdemo
True. That reminds me, I am liking the latest liveries. How many ARX do you get for $5000? Not that I'd pay that, but some SC packages wow.Technically, you can. There is no limit to how much you can voluntary spend on ARX, is there?
I do have a running theory (which I keep reiterating more and more lately) that DB is highly invested in SC too, and CR promised SC would be in a good state by the time Odyssey released. Well, SC did have a free fly around then, but whatever hype there was for a big update turned out to be nothing. (DB, like any idiot, believeing CR again and again) All of a sudden, Odyssey is made to run badly (even though planets and everything else looked great in footage from before!) and caused lots of folks to jump to see what all the SC fuss was about. It makes me think DB and FDev are just holding back. It gives me the impression that at any time DB wants, he can drop a big ED update that has walkable ship interiors (since they're modelled already, no? FC's didnt have any place to walk around, till they just released an update yes?), seemless transitions (ala sitting in any chair in the galaxy which you can do now), replace the placeholders (you know, every pylon in a hangar has the same paint...aka why things dont look so different wherever you go...now imagine each one, and everything else, fresh and different) and let SC sink by the wayside. But...he's just being nice and letting SC make their hundreds of millions by releasing nothing, instead of forcing their collapse.
But that's just conjecture, a fantasy that could be real, which is the same as SC's 4th star system. They have how many now? 2, one of which is incomplete and the other unplayable? Bravo!

Not a mention of ship interiors ... I guess maybe LA is wrong about that being the killer feature

Almost 50% views loss in 3 months. Wozers.
Wonder if this is just him or happening in general?
Either way pretty sure CitCon will “restore faith” with any odd shiny. Even if not in game for the foreseeable.
I wonder how much attention and expectation Starfield is taking from SC/Q. From what's been shown I can see how it would appeal to both SQ and SC camps to some degree, doubly so with CiG's glacial 'progress'.
Given that Starfield seems to be a comprehensive, coherent and mature delivery - although compared to SC/SQ what isn't - I'd imagine that a good number of space-game players (of all flavours) are looking forward to its release and, I'd imagine that come September, such current games will see a dip in player numbers.
As an aside, I appreciate that it doesn't allow players (yet) to fly or drive over planets, but rare is the game that has their success/failure based entirely on one feature (or the absence thereof).
It will be interesting to see what chaff is thrown in the air at CitCon. Expect payed cheerers in the crowd, whooping up a storm!
These low-headcount projects are telltale signs for troubled projects often. I have a hard time believing this was just one guy.Yup, currently playing this...it's pretty impressive.

Dunno - seems like they should be doing ok. Not sure why all the negativity
