Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Initially? No, FDev was never crowdfunded, it was just Elite that was crowdfunded....

Initially it was not CIG that was crowdfunded*. It was the game Star Citizen that was crowdfunded. It met its crowdfunding goal back before 2014 and the Kickstarter was closed. Here we are in 2022 and the game is still not released.

*Is it CIG who are being crowdfunded now? I thought it was still the non existent game.

Well I guess that proves it.
The upcoming refuelling screen will be the Best Damn Refuelling Screen Ever.

No, no, just better than the non existent one of ED and the non existent one of NMS.
It's sooo hard for you to acknowledge that something is better in SC

With the development focus being on Sq42 ("Core Gameplay Pillar has moved to focus exclusively on Squadron 42") then it's the separate, perpetually-delayed singleplayer game that's being "crowdfunded" by recurrent ship sales' revenue of the multiplayer Star Citizen, much to the latter's detriment.

Gameplay you said was non existent in SC currently, so a whole lot of non existent stuff going on

We're crowdfunding Roberts family's lifestyle.

If FDev wouldn't have gotten the money there would be no Elite, if CIG wouldn't have gotten the money there would be no SC and CIG. CIG are a crowdfunded company, FDev are not, and never were.

It's both, really.

Currently in EVO.

How often are you currently refueling other ships in SC? Aren't you more likely to die of hunger?

Is when you feel so entitled about the money belongig to you instead of the original purpose it was raised for.
That's why it's a bad idea to donate cash away to corpos that dont deliver any accountability. Is fraud paradise

I'm not EVO, will see in 1 or 2 weeks.

You can't die of an empty tank, the ship doesn't explode for no reason. If nobody refuel you and your are out of food, you will die of hunger and your ship will stay in place with your corpse. You will have to get back to your ship or use the insurance to retrieve it.

Are there player groups that sit on trains and deliver hot-dogs to you before you starve? Like deliveroo

You have indeed sometimes to bring food or drinks to guys that will or are dying of hunger or thirst.
When you mine on Aberdeen or Arial (more than 200°C) thirst can come pretty quick.

That would seem like the best place for them to introduce a fancy new UI then as its something you apparantly are already doing and it's never been done before oh wait

The fancy UI consist to give by hand the food/drink to the other player. Something that you can't do in ED...
You can even stock your fridge (if your ship have one) and let other players get what they want in it.

I beg to differ but you can purchase food from any reputable station in ED and simply jetison it for your friends to scoop up if that's your thing.

Is the transfer of food something you consider integral to the spiritual successor to Wing Commander then?

Always punching down right... My $500M game is better than your $80M game.

No, it's just something that isn't in ED and therefore it is supreme and better than ED in so many aspects.

You can punch all day when you're not hitting.
