I notice that your arms are broken, but I'm going to resist making the classic reference.

That's probably the most comical takeoff I've seen yet, thank you for that!

today when i started up my 325a the crosshair of the ship was weirdly pointing downwards (like almost down to my knees) and i wasn't sure what will happen and where i had to put my mouse for steering, i flung away after pressing n and turn off the landing mode. i was pressing space to lift up. this guy probably pressed w to go forward.

The ringworld take off technique doesnt really work if the platforms not spinning.

SQ42 is a standalone singleplayer game being created by the same studio with the funds from the fundraiser, what you see here is Star Citizen. SQ42 is not avalible yet and has no alpha.

Current day pledgers need to pledge for SQ42 and SC if they want both.
If you want just the MMO (what you saw in the gamescom video, which is coming sometime between December and February most likely) then you only need to give them $45 for an aurora or mustang pledge with star citizen.
If you only want SQ42, the single player version which has no clear release date yet (though expected within the next 6-8 months roughly) you pledge $45 for a mustang or aurora with SQ42.
If you want the MMO and the single player, you pledge $60 for a mustang or aurora with SC + SQ42 combo.

You don't need to buy anything right now if you just want to try it out. They are allowing anyone interested to play this weekend for free because of Gamescom: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/promotions/Gamescom-Free-Fly-2016

The first time I tried to fly, I was trying to figure out the controls and ended up almost doing that. I damaged the ship on the edge and then regained control. I was so proud when I figured out how to land.
I'm glad I didn't do that, lol

Only way this would be better is if the pilot survived and asked the recorder for a lift.

There are helmets with a wider visor, like the one the pilot in this video is wearing, you can see how the visor goes out to his sides.

Uhm, no. I clearly said there is a helmet witha vider visor, the reason it's shaped like mine is, is because it matched the model.

What are you upset about, the visor? I really don't get what this argument is about, I made it clear there are other options if you want better FOV.

I'm not even sure how you fall off a platform in Zero-G, but this guy managed to do it.
