Actually no - I have only ever flown a Sidewinder and a Cobra since beta. I love my Cobra and have no desire to trade up. It's like a classic car. I flew one in the eighties and I am still flying one today. Classic ship insurance is cheap.
I wonder how they plan on combining any kind of persistence with the heavy reliance on instancing they're going to need. How will they maintain consistency and deconflict the many different actions and world-states of players that enter into the same instance?
By waving fingers about a lot and changing the subject?

Stop trying to generalise the entire player group who play Elite Dangerous thanks.
For one, we are discussing Star Citizen.
And for the other, yes, some folks play ED to acquire the biggest, baddest, most expensive space wagon they can get their hands on as quickly as possible. There are people like that outside of the gaming circle with that same sort of mentality when it comes to purchasing expensive cars or multiple 20 to 30 room mansions, because they have the money and because they can do so.
Then there are players who look perhaps to get a ship or two that can to a specific job of them at any given moment. Wanna do trade runs for a good profit? Grab yourself a T-9 or if you have the dough and also want some protection for pirates, an Anaconda will suffice. Want to explore the Milky Way for a few weeks/months discovering new stars and never-before-seen planets and other astronomical objects? Again, if you have the cash (and with the Engineers, the required Grade 5 upgrades) the Anaconda can get you from Kremainn to 20,000 light years from inhabited space at a fair clip. Alternatively, if you haven't got those funds, you can instead stump up for the Asp Explorer or the even cheaper Diamondback Explorer.
The same with combat. The same with piracy. The same with mining.
So no, this game isn't JUST about trying to get to the biggest, best ship as quickly as possible, just so you can avoid getting "bored" (wat??). That is some low quality nonsense you spouted just then.... and not for the first time. (Or last.)
tell that to my fleet of 30 iggles i have.It wasn't a snide comment, it's the reality, ED gameplay is all about getting bigger and better ships. For that you have to grind, in SC you can just steal them
each only costing 1 million.
and i practically do everything combat orientated in that ship.
Now days with engineering in the game im thinking about moving to viper mk3. Because it turns so fast that it causes blackouts.
Each ship in elite has character. Each ship feels unique, especially on handling (feels like they modeled thruster placements effect on handling)
and the sound design is simply the best.

It's my opinion mate, deal with it the best you can just like I deal with your opinion about Star Citizen.
So when I express my likeness for Star Citizen I get jumped, when I express my frustrations about ED I get jumped... You feel the need to generalise everything Star Citizen to "failure" "whales" "shills" and that's perfectly fine right? It goes both ways, it's opinions right. Well I was just giving mine.
But yeah this is about Star Citizen. Let's keep the most popular topic going.

That analogy appeals to me, because I too would rather do cocaine than eat ice cream.
But in seriousness, I agree, he's an echo chamber, by himself. Quite a feat and for that reason I've ignored him.
I suppose. Why change a winning(ish) strategy?
You mean ignore it and just assume that I can generalise my opinions to be true for your as well?

Having just arrived within 500 light years of inhabited space having spent over a *year* exploring the Milky Way galaxy (never more than 13,000 light years from "home" mind), I'm hoping to if not achieve Elite exploration statue, to get bloody close to acquiring it when I turn my data in!
(Going to be a long wait in the station for all that data to sift through!
)Ultimately, comparing the two games right now doesn't really work. A few years ago it was easier, ED was only starting up and you could sneer at their efforts compared to the mighty Santa Monica vision. But now? C'mon. They've built the BDSSE, cutting edge VR, a great engine with the flexibility to do what they need to do instead of making excuses about Germans, a 1:1 scale galaxy that makes astrogeek hearts skip a beat, the best sound design in the business, a lively community, etc etc. It's not for all tastes, but the project is a success and scratches a niche itch better than any game in years. SC's puddle of broken promises and CryJank is just NOT going to look good placed next to ED.
CR is constantly playing catchup and shouting "me too!" -- the amount of mechanics from ED being lifted wholesale is rather amusing too!
Meanwhile, what we have is garbage. A pretty Gamescom demo doesn't change the fact that what we download is GARBAGE. Every step of the way, these modest guys in Cambridge are beating him without ANY of the huffing, puffing, LA bull.
So buy an Idris, because he's got a lot of catching up to do and needs all your money!
Might be a good time to consider for a moment if maybe, POSSIBLY, just a LITTLE BIT -- that you're talking absolute rubbish in a very irritating, disingenuous way ladled with smileys devoid of humor. Do you see anybody enjoying your "wit?"
No?
Gee, wonder why.

Answer the question I asked please.
*Edit* Sorry. Question(s). Answer the questions that I asked about how CIG will deal with stolen ships, tah very much.

Have Frontier support at the ready...I can't imagine the what that amount of data is going to do
Also, welcome back to civilization, CMDR. You chose a heck of a time to return.

I'd make the final 20 jumps and docking in solo with that much data.
Sorry Tippis, I can't hear you over the sound of my self-flagellation WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!? PLEASE CAN YOU REPEAT I--- STAR CITIZEN? STAR CITIZEN IS THE BEST YOU SAY. Please. Stop me from hurting myself. Star Citizen is the best. Okay?
This is what I imagine happens in the rooms of Star Citizen backers.
But on topic, the thread has more enlightening discussions when we're not entertaining our scruples. We should probably move onto something more mentally stimulating than pointing out the obvious follies and inaccuracies in some of the participants most recent contributions.
I was just wondering, most if not all of the biggest games have huge fan sites that follow the news and information and break it down into easily digestible chunks for their audiences.
Does anyone know of any of the Star Citizen fan sites?

The recent discovery of that Thargoid ship wreck has somewhat hastened my return to civilised space. Since I left on my trip back in August last year (a time when you could safely explore thousands of light years away from home without taking much in the way of weapons to enable long jump ranges), it's become increasingly apparent that in the coming updates to the game that it would probably be a good idea to have SOME reasonable armaments equipped when going out into deep space in future.
Thanks for the welcome back though.

Umm, the RSI forums? Reddit? That counts right?
Maybe the National Herpes Prevention Society website? ( I dunno! I'm really struggling here!)

It's a good thing that the Reddit icon from the SA forums isn't available on here Orlando, because it would have been a very, very fitting way to describe that post of yours.
Anyways, still have any ideas from CIG themselves how they are going to handle stolen/hijacked/destroyed ships that cost thousands of dollars in game yet?

Yeah i already see the joy of those backers that put a fortune in their space ships to get a advantage. Then the commercial release comes and everybody quickly realises that you dont need to grind at all just steal it from those rich idiots.
