A few months left and the time passed since my refund is longer than the time passed from backing SC initially to the refund date. And the thing is still in alpha.

The initial pitch was "Star Citizen is a PC game", because that mighty PC has so much more power than the mainstream Xbox 360. I still have the PC, which I got brand new back then. Now I look at that Xbox One X and that thing is wiping the floor with my 2011-2013 rig. And Star Citizen is a miss.

Has somebody made "the list" like http://duke.a-13.net/ for Star Citizen already?

This is absolutely fantastic!

Edit - the 'Brief History of Lying' video I mean

There's someone who has done their homework.

Ok,THX for the info....any significant changes beside mining introduction in YOUR opinion?

The party system stuff. When I play I tend to play with other people and screw around. If youre not playing in a group it wouldn't matter.
It is nice to be able to see where other members of the party are and to be able to control each others ships.

However, if you get far away from party members, their location stops working because of the network culling stuff they have in.

Also, I dont really care for the group quantum linking. It is to buggy, like herding cats to get it set up when it works, and not that useful. I'd much prefer to be able to quantum to another party members location than all jumping at the same time. Same as in Elite. In a wing, you can set it up so everyone in the wing jumps to a system at the same time, but I don't find it useful. What is useful is being able to drop on a wing mates location.


And to mining, sure it is significant as far as a game play loop. But does it matter to the normal player? I can't with a straight face tell someone they should spend $150 to try it. Sure if you want to support the game, but to do mining, nah.... At least with cargo/trading mechanic, it wasn't such a stretch to tell someone to upgrade to an Avenger so you can do cargo. It is a fun ship and 10 or 15 bucks for the upgrade from a starter ship.


The other thing they are working on and if they can fix would be ESP. The targeting mechanism for joystick users. So combat is fun. They have iterated on it, but I doubt it will be working right on 3.2's release. In 3.1 they worked on the hover bikes. When 3.1 dropped, the hover bikes were a miserable death trap. By the time they got to 3.1.4 they were a lot of fun. So there is a possibility of it happening.

Opps, sorry. I thought the red arrow of the guy in the screen shot would be obvious enough. (well sorta red arrow, my writing skills with a laptop track pad aren't that great)

I looked at the SC subreddit to see if that had been posted and it had. Then it was deleted within a minute :D

You didn't really expect anything else, did you?
It obviously is a A Thought Crime FUD against the Christ Roberts, hallowed may be the ground he walks upon. Just remember: "War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength."

The scam attribute has become mainstream now:
When analyzing the success of crowd-funding projects, analysts often cite a 2015 study by the University of Pennsylvania that surveyed more than 500,000 online financial backers of Kickstarter projects. According to the report’s author, Professor Ethan Mollick of the Wharton School stated,”Project backers should expect a failure rate of around 1-in-10 projects, and to receive a refund 13% of the time. Since failure can happen to anyone, creators need to consider, and plan for, the ways in which they will work with backers in the event a project fails, keeping lines of communication open and explaining how the money was spent. Ultimately, there does not seem to be a systematic problem associated with failure (or fraud) on Kickstarter, and the vast majority of projects do seem to deliver.” However, Mollick’s research was conducted before such high-profile fraud cases as the $179 million campaign by Star Citizen, the $35 million scam by Lily Drone, the $17 million scam by Elio Motors Scooter, and Coolest Cooler’s $13 million fiasco. While more than half of crowd-funding projects never successfully receive funding, it is surprising how many do and never ship, including a grab-bag of very peculiar projects like underwater breathing tubes, anti-radiation underwear, edible drinking cups, and (my favorite) the ostrich pillow.

SHOCK HORROR! No SQ42 this year.:O

E: Confirmed by the code whisperer himself on todays AtV apparently.

And apparently anyone who was optimistic that it was going to be this year is a "Naysayer" and "FUDster"

My oh my Star Citizen community, how you have changed. Once upon a time being optimistic would have earned you upvotes galore. Now being optimistic gets you called names.

Well, anyway, looks like they are all busy celebrating another year without SQ42 so might as well let them enjoy it.

Answer the Call!

I've just updated the Sqaudron 42 subreddit with the news. I'm sure they will take the news on the chin.
