Question: Why didn't you just fly over the base and then bomb the NPCs (or players?) from the air, then land, take the stuff, and get out of dodge?

There is no NPC in Jump Town 2.
If you bomb, all drugs packages are destroyed. So after bombing, you have to get yourself by foot a new bunch of packages at the arrival rate of 1 every 30 seconds.

Jump Town is a pretty good event.
You have to manually grab and store the packages and to earn a lot you have to spend a good amount of time on the outpost. As the mission is broadcasted on the server, anybody (friend or hostile) can arrive at JP2 at any moment so you better be prepared to defend your position. Snipers are deadly, bombs are deadly, night time and fog are deadly, everything is deadly in fact. It's a lot of fun and it's even better with friends. Sometimes, everyone is from your side and work well organised for the same goal, other time it's everyone just grabbing suspiciously it's share of packages, other time it's total chaos with betrayal and intense action.

This morning’s gossip:

I know a guy who gave up working as a mobile game dev to be a 3D artist on Star Citizen. Told me his job is to just make lovely looking spaceships all day and he doesn't even care if the end product gets released, because he's been given a dream job and people just keep paying him money to keep pumping out ships.

You don't see how it creates great hostile/friendly interactions in the video ? And how it give a reward for well organised teams ?

SC in a nutshell.

Well, some games make it a main game loop. Not the boxes maybe. The logistics. Though in Satisfactory you can package items into boxes or bottles. Then you can put them in containers. Then you put container onto train. You can't carry boxes though. Nor containers. The trains do that for you. You can carry the little packaged items though - they go into your pocket dimension. This is advanced scifi - we don't carry stuff around with hands.

You obviously don't understand friend development

Then SC clearly evolved into something you don't want to play anymore. This is what happened to me, with early expectations of it being more like Freelancer with added online element.

Ok, so, here me out, just bomb everything anyway

Its not like you need credits anyway, its only alpha.

And when new people arrive, bomb them!

PvP, not my speed. More of a solo player anyway, so anything requiring teams is pretty much out for me.

He's got no clue has he? Full on the dreamer road now. Everyone knows that there aren't systems. There is only one and they've failed to create more for 10 years now.

You do it solo like I do when my friends are offline.

You need credits to buy bombs, they are not free.
And everyone need credits in the current alpha.
And being in a A2 doesn't make you invicible, most of the time you have guys patroling the sky or on ground waiting to kill you.

And if you are quick to destroy the MOAB, you get the A2 in the same shot

Despite his excitement for SC, he doesn't really seem to know much about the game.

By bombs i mean any sort of missile or bomb. Surely they can't be that expensive.

Or failing that, can't you just noclip over in the air and take them out with lasers?

Knowledge is useless, belief is where the immershun is.

Of course, the main difference between Theranos and CIG is that CIG didn't take money from people with that much money. I guess Calder will get his money back slowly, with interest, over the coming 5-10 years. 5 million a year or so, perhaps more if CIG actually ship SQ42 at some point.
