ha ha, wow, so original.
 
If you do get on the freefly, look me up in the contacts list and add me. I'm just plain 'Mole' in SC...It's always better to have someone show you around who is a tad cynical and realistic ;)

Don't get me wrong, there are good bits and sometimes, the forever subjective 'fun' to be had. I had some newbies in tow tonight showing them how to mine with a ROC...advised them to just buy it in game rather than splurge the cash in the store. I reminded them they can support the project just as well by playing with nothing more than a starter package...leave the buying of ships to when Ci¬G prove they can actually get closer to releasing a game.
Cool. Thanks

Sound advice. But with one small problem. If people stop buying ships, CIG go under.

Being 50, I'm quite happy for another 10 years of development and feature creep - will be ideal for my retirement! (Genuine comment)

Not sure if they added the genuine comment bit themselves but he normally doesn't add comments to quotes. So presume the poster realizes how ridiculous it might sound.

Here's another lulzworthy one

As an original backer, I have always called it my retirement game. Just sitting here, continuing to pledge a bit more now and then and let them develop it. Looking forward to my future years!

I'm only 25 and expect to play SC for decades, if not until I die.

Expects to play SC for decades.... hmm...

And "people don't understand game development"

I'm drinking a little bit but hear me out. How long ago did WoW come out? And people are still playing it religiously to this day. Think about it. Not only that but the potential for immersion from the world CIG is building details to is insane. Once this project is done many will realize this is how a VIDEO GAME is made (Some are even realizing it now). Sure there are many types of games for different people, but this I really feel will be the mainstream one day because again look at World of Warcraft.

Thanks for reading this lil "reverse-rant" i guess. We need more positive stuff like this right now. Im so proud of what Chris and CIG are doing and if I could i'd jump right in and help (Get a studio here in Chicago man! lol)

Anyone got bingo from that post?
 
Here's my honest review. Unplayable. FPS : min 8; max 21; avg 17. This as on low graphics quality. Although my PC isn't state of the art, it is better than the recommended settings as published in the faq. I've got a slightly better graphics card arriving on Wednesday. If I've got time I'll give it another shot. I do want to like this game. I would have thought that the the intention of the free fly was to get more pledges but given its current state I'm not impressed. Perhaps they need to amend their recommended settings.

FPS are pretty bad, alpha is not optimised atm. You gain a lot of FPS once out of the starting city. On my old computer, I have 20 FPS average in cities, 40 FPS out of cities.
The main advices :
  • SSD is mandatory.
  • Don't put graphics on low, it give less FPS than high atm.
  • Turn vsync off.
  • Set priority to "High" to StarCitizen.exe (task manager - details tab).

If the SSD is mandatory then shouldn't it be part of the recommended settings?

It is.


Problem is, it should be part of the minimum recommended specs, and it isn't.

I see they have changed minimum specs to require 16Gb. Launcher still warns saying its 8Gb though.

Minimum 16Gb though,.... lol. Can't wait to see the system requirements after another 5 years of alpha.

Also, they are very unspecific with their processor requirements, just saying 4 cores. 4 core processors have existed for well over a decade, but i wouldn't recommend trying to run SC on some of them.
