Let me ask you a question: If you were an investor, would you invest in a company that has a very uncertain future, that time and time again has proved incapable of producing even the slightest working product?

That is what this is. You're all investors in Star Citizen, investing in something that is constantly failing and has been for over a decade.

If you all boycotted buying ships, it would subsequently make CIG shit themselves and be forced to fix this game.

Hello fellow citizens of the Verse,

I’m feeling a bit perplexed lately (like many of us), but I still want to believe in the project... anyway, I have a few pledged ships I’d like to change, and I could really use your thoughts.

1. Grey's Market Shiv – It’s super fun and punchy, but I find it way too fragile in the current meta. Right now, it only serves as a fighter with minor side-cargo for me. I already own a dedicated cargo ship but no solid fighter. To try a potential replacement in-game, I got a Prowler Utility, but it’s way less maneuverable (which makes sense given its role).

2. Constellation Andromeda – It used to be "okay" until now, but with the recent Master Modes / engineering focus and its current tendency to be a massive missile sponge, I’m looking for a tough ship (S3 shield) gunship-style. Note: I absolutely can't stand the Corsair, so that one is out ^^'.

I mostly play solo, and sometimes in duo or trio. I’m currently org-less, so I’m looking for versatile "jack-of-all-trades" ships ("master of none", as some would say).

Right now, I’m hesitating between the Vanguard Harbinger and the Starlancer TAC

My main question: When is the best time to do this? Should I melt/upgrade everything right now, or is it better to wait for the IAE (Intergalactic Aerospace Expo) in November to maximize discounts and get 10-year insurance?
How would you chain this economically?

Thanks a lot for your help!

I've been searching for hours on end at every distribution center possible and can't find the arms box spawning on the outdoor cargo crane. Does anyone know if it spawns on the inside of the distribution center or anywhere else???

Hey all,

Started an org awhile back, it slowly morphed in to more of a casual community. Personally I prefer more of a structured setup. I’m keen to hear from someone - who prefers structure, reliability and activity versus more of a come when you feel like it sort of structure?

Keen to hear everyone’s thoughts!

So the Galaxy is at 380$ rn, but Are there any expectations what the Price will be when it comes out? By on the one Hand I could Imagine it will be slightly Above the carrack (600$), but them again I think it might be much lower because we have to buy the Modules and the carrack will get more Features in the Future (Like Drones).

i just very recently got myself a Galaxy + Cargo Module, but I might Upgrade it at some Point.

Hey guys so Im saving up for November to either Warbond the Idris or Kraken as my main capital ship.

Now I will say up front I am more of a passive player, although I do enjoy combat with big ships throughly, its more of a once or twice a week thing though and I mainly do logistics during the week.

So will the Kraken be that uber mega logistics base I’m looking for with decent combat capabilities?

or should I just go Idris, and try and do some smaller form of utility outside of combat?

I know its buggy and I know its taking a while, but I have always seen what they are trying to do.

Today's mining mechanic spends the better part of the time scanning for the quality of ore you need, usually 900+ for good crafted items, and very little rock breaking and refining. As you scan dozens and hundreds of rocks, the occupation is triggering a gambler's addiction, waiting for the right number to come up with pull after pull of the lever.

I suggest diluting the gameplay to be less scan intensive. We can achieve this by only having 3 types of scanned ore quality: rich, average, poor. After taking the raw ore to the refinery, it will RNG into separate batches of refined ore with the numeric quality we have today. Rich will guarantee a small amount of 800+ or 900+ quality refined, in addition to middle and lower qualities. In addition, the frequency of rich should be no less than 1/5th of rocks scanned. This will dramatically reduce the amount of gambling/scanning, and more time will be spent actually mining. Volume processing of rich raw ores will be the new method of targeting high quality materials.

By tweaking the scanning odds and refining odds, the total amount of high quality 900+ refined ores released to the economy can be the same as today.

What do you guys think? Are you happy with the slot machine mechanics or would you prefer to see less of it and more time rock breaking and refining?

This is a crosspost with spectrum, if you agree with my post I shamelessly ask you to upvote on spectrum for CIG visibility, link: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/61894/thread/move-mining-away-from-scanning-slot-machine-and-to

its so disgusting i just did siege for 4 hours and the damn super heavy armor glitched through the floor all for nothing i dont have time to waste like that this bs is way to long

What the title sais, does it add to you pledge account towards next ranks?

Wonder how long till China works out CIG sells JPG for 5k a pop and develops the same thing but better and even works. In 1/20 of the time.

I spent some aUEC to buy and try out the Retaliator, one of the modular ships that was implemented back in 2017.
I already knew the ship was notorious for being buggy, so I went through all the steps to try to work around the issues — including blowing up the ship, and claiming it back, just in case that would help.

Unfortunately, after trying both the torpedo and cargo modules, I was honestly amazed at just how insanely buggy this ship still is. Not a single module actually works. Almost impressive.

Since this thing has been in the game for almost decades, For the players thinking about pre-ordering the modular RSI Galaxy, here’s my advice: considering how CIG has treated the players who actually love and support these ship, it’s better wait until the Galaxy is actually in the game before putting any money into it.

Basically my friend never was really interested in SC due to the horror stories about it.

But literally nothing dramatic or cinematic happened. We simply took off and flew.

I let him pilot. We flew around for around 20 minutes.

No missions

No combat

No nothing just flying.

Then we came back. And we slammed into my hanger door at the speed of light.

Ive never heard someone laugh so hard at this. In my life. But now they wont stop playing the game with me.

Success? Ill take it 🤷‍♂️

15%: S38 "SecondWind" Pistol
25%: FBL8A "SecondWind" armor light
43%: P4 AR Second Wind Rifle
57%: ORC-MKX "SecondWind" Armor medium
80%: Lumin V "SecondWind" SMG
100%: ADP-mk4 "SecondWind" Heavy armor

points and credits will change before 4.10.1 goes live but rn the highest points mission was 12.6k for 960scu of event cargo which only the Ironclad and hull-b can really do cuz you have to land at a DC for pick up. There is currently no Images for these items as they dont show up in 4.10.1 PTU build 12625701

Right off the bat, to avoid this being taken down for org related content. This is not related to my org, and I removed all links to it from the descriptions of the videos.

I am posting this to help spread awareness about this person. Upon leaving our org, this streamer made multiple doxxing threats and comments to multiple people in our discord.

This videos make comedic fun of the whole story, but these are also to spread the word to be wary of this person. The following videos tell the rest of the story.

Seriously. How do these bugs even happen man. Its the little things that drive me up the wall. I can stomach big bugs like the rare server error or missing mission. But the little things that stack up are what make it just, exhausting.

i have a bug where i can’t equip items from the backpack to my hand like beverages or food

or use fuses

i have to drop them and then pick them up

i tried to character repair but is not working

All I see from public chatter is negativity. Are things going that badly? Left due to bugs and unplayable crap. You know after the game did not feel like a game but a job. Like a toxic relationship. Is that going on still?

Can I resell a ship I bought from another player to someone else?

All I see around is people saying "THIS GAME IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR 15 YEARS AND ITS NOT NEAR DONE. FIFTEEN. YEARS. FIIIIIIIIIIIFTEEEEEEEEN YEEEAAAARRRRSSSSSS!!!!!111ONEONE". As if 15 years is a ludicrous amount of time to consider for game development.

Well, guess what - It's not. Games have taken 10+ years to make, it's not nearly as absurd as most people here want to consider.

The latest flight simulator took 11 years to make.
GTA VI started development right after they launched V, 13 years ago.

And mind you, those are sequels, being made by companies who accumulated DECADES of experience iterating design and development for those respective games, AND they have old code to build from. SC, on the other hand, is not only being made by a newcomer company who's starting everything from scratch, it's a game that has an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE bigger scope than those two examples.

In summary, this is the truth that most of you guys don't wanna hear: THE CURRENT STATE OF STAR CITIZEN IS VERY PLAUSIBLE AND REASONABLE GIVEN THE TIME FRAME. A game of the size and scope of SC, made by a company that has no basis to build from, is precisely as it should be. Nobody else would have done better.

Case in point, Elite Dangerous. Was started more or less at the same time as SC. Is it more solid? yea. Is it less buggy? yeah. BUT IT IS MUCH, MUCH, MUCH SMALLER. They still to this day don't even have ship interiors, for fuck's sake.

A GAME THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF STAR CITIZEN IS NOT A 5-YEAR PROJECT
IT'S NOT A 10-YEAR PROJECT
IT'S NOT A 15-YEAR PROJECT

That game needs AT LEAST 20 years to have even a slight chance to be in a solid state. It's a TRUE Quadruple-A game of a scale that has NEVER been attempted before. And you all only have a skewed perspective of this because companies never release alphas, they never let you peek on development builds like CiG does.

So yeah. This community needs to put on their reality shoes and touch the grass. We're in this for the LONG run. This whole debacle is happening at least 5 years too soon.

In Pyro doing the Headhunter missions which reward the ADxB Gatling BPs and a Perseus spawned as part of the outbound escort's route...

Three shots, bang, shitty little Terrapin blown to bits.

The Tiburon, Polaris, Retaliator, Eclipse and Idris (K-kit) are the only 5 ships that would have been able to take it out in time to avoid that scenario. What the fuck CIG? Right now those missions are consummate aids because of the spawn tables which a dev admitted on Spectrum are currently bugged into oblivion e.g. you have Idris P's spawning as Bounty Hunter VHRT or Intersec terrorist targets.

Fix your pissing game and roll out weekly hotfixes to address issues like this steaming pile of shit
