The comments are a bloodbath btw

Hard core or informed players seem to know better. I suspect that ongoing sales for the most part are still sustained primarily by grey market speculators and possibly money laundering, with actual genuine uninformed players, or players that do not know better, coming in a distant 3rd.

BTW, the road to the second
And only 98 more star systems left to create after that one is done!
Shame reddit seems to have killed off 3rd party scraping. All the 'reddit stats' sites seem to stop around Dec 2023 now.
The fact they managed to keep it still going after over a decade should mean every bank and corporation killing each other to get Chris Roberts and his team on their board. Imagine if the economy is like Star Citizen, never ending growth.

)- SQ42 devs who supported SQ42 aspects in 3.23 then went back to SQ42.
- Every dev they know who plays SC tends to rage-quit. Normally due to being unable to complete missions etc.
- Some teams are struggling to find experienced devs to replace leavers. Sizeable gaps are filled with juniors.
- A 10 week push to create a new gameplay prototype is underway, to be presented at Citizencon. It is not going well and has involved churn.
- In their experience overtime was not tracked or reimbursed (in lieu etc). Most overtime occurred prior to presentations / Citcon.
- A new light system is coming. That means redoing most of the lights...
- Pyro is in a quantum state of: Is going to ship soon / can't ship because the content is poor or lacking. There is a push on to rectify this.
- Spawn Closets are actually 3 different entities. An area box of the proper size; which you link to a spawn closet, which then needs a spawn closet manager. They all have their own baffling settings. Devs just try all extremes to see differences and are never really sure if they see anything different. But then the most important settings are not in the editor, but in dataforge, the XML editor which controls all entities. There you you set tags to find the closets and then tags for AI that fit your needs. You also specify the numbers there. But it's also not very clear or functional. You have max spawns, max concurrent spawns, max spawns per minute and and a whole lot more, but it doesn't seem to work well. Because clearly nobody set it to infinite and yet that always happens...
SC or SQ42?

As a Pole I feel insulted
OMG, if they struggled with a gameplay demo for a feature complete game in the polishing phase ...SC I think. (The one that's slightly less feature complete
Time to get the kettle on for a touch more crunch...

108. They sold 110 systems to backers.
SC in one hand and SQ42 in the other, see which one fills up first!
Ummm.... isn't that the default state for Poles? A bit like the default state for Brits is mind embarrassment

Yes, for the games we make! Witcher 3 is a Polished game. Cyberpunk 2077. The Thaumaturge.Ummm.... isn't that the default state for Poles? A bit like the default state for Brits is mind embarrassment
No matter how long they gonna Polish Squadron 404, it will never be properly Polished.
Even with what a disastrously broken piece of crap Cyberpunk was at launch, there was no debate the game was thoroughly Polished.
It just wasn't polished by any means.
The start-up has been starting up for so long, their devs lost the arcane knowledge of how their world engine works?Hot Gossip

Maybe it's time to restart from scratch again.
